I've employed the SV method to decarb and also via my Ardent Nova. I've never used the oven to decarb - mainly to cut back on odor. I've used Sous Vide vac seal bags and also jars in the water bath. I own a MBM too.
I think the results were similar enough. Maybe I just used quality bud. I didn't use trim, shake or whatever. Maybe it was a waste of the good stuff. A couple of times I put in two syringes worth of RSO and the effects were a little bit over the top in terms of strength.
Sorry
Don't know how I missed that you have a nova
The sous vide method I tried was meh
Never tried any of the new crock pot water methods
Honestly a solvent extraction has gotten the best results
The Ardent combined with alcohol extraction gives me the most potent product to date
I don't see any other methods giving more extraction percentage unless you go full lab
Have not read any extraction percentages for the labs but I'm sure its high
From what I see around the boards the edible sections are good but not much interest
It's a shame but folks are missing a great way to medicate
Its a firecracker world
I spend a day or two and have product for several months
From left to right
1. A full extraction full stage filtered tincture for sub lingual use
2. A 14 gram tincture waiting for reduction and infusion
3. On top of the tincture is crystallized simple syrup aka cannabis candy
4. Next is a thin chocolate syrup for chocolate milk/shakes etc.
5. Next is a thick chocolate syrup for topping ice cream etc. (I'm aware the chocolate syrup containers should be swapped and the thin syrup should go in the squeeze bottle, hazards of getting dosed while making products) I'm an idiot
6. Next is my PAIN medication infused coconut oil at half a teaspoon (50mg guesstimate)
7. Finally in front is apple compote frozen in an ice cube tray 1 tablespoon in one cube slot is roughly 20-50mg guesstimate
All buds no shake or trim
Shake and trim have lots of good stuff but should be processed separately unless you are a seasoned grower and user
It gets tricky trying to determine potency and this is really something only growers are familiar with when it comes to knowing their plants
I never mix, too much of a light weight and its hard for me to keep from greening out, even using the step method to dose
