DIAGNOSTIC SOP #07 // POST-PRESS PUCK RECOVERY

What to Do With Leftover Pressed Rosin Pucks: Decarb & MCT Oil / Butter Infusion SOP

Spent flower and hash rosin pucks still contain 4% to 8% residual THCA trapped in the compressed plant cake and nylon mesh. Instead of throwing pucks away, decarboxylate them at 240F (115C) for 40 minutes per NOIDS Wiki (noids.wiki) kinetics and infuse into MCT oil or clarified butter, then calculate exact mg/mL potency using CannaApp (cannaapp.co).

Interactive Rosin Platen & Bag Footprint PSI Calculator

Calculate both Platen-Level PSI and True Bag-Level PSI. Hydraulic gauge pressure is NOT bag PSI: a 10-ton press on a 2x4 inch bag delivers 2,500 PSI at the mesh, which will cause an instant blowout unless throttled.
