minimal temp for extraction?

[KUSHMASTER]

Hey I don't have the furnace goin right now and it's usually about 60 F. during the day inside my lab. I've noticed the first couple pulls being really low yielding.

I'm using nomans tek with 200 g's of mimosa.

Does anybody know if it could be do to the fact that my house is so cold? I'm waitin to see if my third one is at all productive. If not I'm going to put it in a hot water bath and try another pull, but if anyone has some info on this issue i would appreciate it. Thanks guys

heat most certainly helps...sometimes SWIM puts his jars on top of his running PS3 with a plastic bag over it to capture the heat...the higher the temp the more spice that can be sucked up by the solvent...SWIM recommends a hot plate with the hot water bath..and nothing that has an open flame...no use blowing yourself up right?


edit: but make sure you dont get it over something like 130 degrees F....you will start to have your spice break down...wouldnt want that now would you!?

Of course not! Thanks I have just the thing for hot water baths. So I'll give that a try next.
