Methods

Summary

https://www.youtube.com/watch?...This project will employ steam distillation of plant material starting at 100 degrees Celsius and 0 pressure.

Challenges

The challenge is the difficulty in comparing results from different plants, so I plan to use the same plant to make three different products to test each other with. For more challenges with essential oils, read this article: https://www.takingcharge.csh.u...

Pre Analysis Plan

I plan to obtain and send in for testing a sample of bud and heat pressed oil along with the essential oil, all from the same plant. With the results of all three products, I would like to compare percentages of THC, CBD, limonene, linalool, myrcene, etc. of each sample and begin to analyze the data from there.
