Hello, all! I made it through my first two plants thanks to you guys! I made some MCT oil with trim/buds from my first plant - CBD Kush from ILGM. It’s supposed to be around 16% CBD, 8% THC. Being realistic, I figured, this being my first grow, that the actual percentage of MY plant would be around 4% max due to beginner mistakes.
That being said, I decarbed the flower the way everyone here and on YT describes it. I think I think I did the flower at like 240 for 25 minutes. Anyway, I wanted to make gummies with my 3 CBD plants, but, I want the high as well. I made one batch that I added a gram of wax from the dispo. I forgot to decarb the wax, so they don’t really do anything. My next batch, I used the same oil, 1/4 cup per batch, and added two grams of shatter to the oil. I first decarbed the dispo shatter by putting them in mason jars in the oven for 25 minutes at 225. Should have been around 800mg per gram. The math worked out to about 13mg per gummie. I ate 3 of them last night and felt nothing but CBD. I really feel like my mistakes are in the decarbing process. To add the shatter to the oil, I heated up my magnetic heat plate to around 170 and put the shatter in with my oil until about 30 minutes after it dissolved. Any help, please. I’m super disappointed I’ve wasted 1/2 cup of oil and $90 on dispo shatter until my GFOG plants are ready for harvest.
You need 250f for 45 minutes for THC and an hour for CBD. Remember, lower potency just means less oil not less potency.
One gram of full spectrum oil is around 75% pure. Factor accordingly.
I decarb at 240F for 45 mins.
I do 10 grams of flower in MCT oil for a batch of gummies. My mold makes 126 pieces, they end up about 5 mg each.
@Myfriendis410, how would you do a plant like that then? Just do the hour because there’s CBD and THC in it? Does that degrade the THC very much?
Also, same temp and time for Rosin or Flower?
Thank you for the replies! I can’t tell you guys how much I appreciate this community!
That’s what I do.
Same temperature regardless of material.
I infuse coconut oil for cookies. Normally I do a pound at a time with 1 gram of THC per “stick” using full spectrum oil. To get that I add 5.3 grams to reach my 1 gram per stick target.
When I decarb was I use a small silicone dish and when it becomes warm enough to start decarbing, 240-250 f as others mentioned, you can see the oil beginning to bubble, that’s the decarbing process taking place. Sometimes it takes longer, I like to wait until the bubbles begin to slow down, that’s the sign that it’s mostly decarboxylated. I’ve found sometimes it takes closer to an hour to finish.
