Extraction question for the extract gurus

[Olderfart]

I read somewhere that one can extract additional cannabinoids from the pucks left over after pressing flower to get rosin. So, I threw ten of the pucks into my decarb oven with water to see how they would behave. I did not add oil yet, thinking that if much resin showed up, it would float on the water surface so that I could get some idea of what if anything I extracted. Did that, and there was absolutely no detectable rosin on the surface of the water after several hours of being held at 98C.

So, question is, is rosin (this is CBD only) water soluble? Where the heck did the rosin that must have been in those pucks go? If it is still in the water, would adding oil now extract it?

There is rosin leftover, I wouldnt add water next time tho. Cut pucks up some then decarb. Next add butter, oil, or everclear. I recommend using a mbm to make oil/butter or tincture. Strain and your done. Strength will depend on how much you use, how many times you press each puck prior. I normally press once so mine have more left in them.
