I wish there was a cheaper site to have your bud analyzed! Maybe that could be my next business venture LOL!!!

I was just looking at some test kits and I’m unclear how many time you can use them… but on the site, there’s some cool info and some good recipes!

Thanks @Caligurl much appreciated
I may have to rethink capsules to start off with I’ll see how these Gummies work out
Do any of you add anything like citric acid to your recipes to be able to keep them fresh longer?

That’s exactly the one I use. Works well.

I use this dosage calculator, it takes the type of oil into account.

I us a pipette to fill the caps, and after capping they go into a jar and then the fridge. They hold up well, although the last brand of gel caps didn’t seal as well as the first I got, and I had some leakage in my jar.

Yes, it gives them a bit of tang as well

Thank you! Do you just sprinkle a little on them or mix it into the recipe and how much?

Congratulations on Valued Member of the month! :sunglasses:

I used to think edibles didnt do anything to me either, til i made them right. The decarb process is probably the most important as its what actually makes you get high. Just a thought maybe you should make some wax, and try and use that to make your edibles. I did and had an amazing time.

Decarbing is key, but you could also incorporate some Lecithin (I use sunflower lecithin) to facilitate the absorbtion of THC… The lecithin helps the THC binds to the fat in your butter/oils, thus carrying more… :nerd_face:

At least that’s what I read, and I must say, it made a huge difference for me. Before that, edibles would take anywhere from 45 minutes to 8 hours before having any effectc on me… :partying_face:

Thank you! And I mix the citric aced right into the dry ingredients before I add the liquids.

45 minutes to 90 for me… never heard of 8 hours! Yikes! I’ve had people tell me edibles do nothing for them, then I give them some of mine and they always take too much LOL… I try to warn them :rofl:

Yes, decarbing correctly is the key and I’ve heard the same thing about lecithin just haven’t tried it yet. I would want to do a side-by-side comparison and make 2 identical batches with one having lecithin.

Sometimes, I would take an edible in the morning and not have any effects all day, just to wake up stupid stoned the next day… :man_facepalming:

Now that I add lecithin, at least, I get the effects in a more timely manner. :nerd_face:

I have also used lecithin, but i believe it was for some jolly rancher candies i tried to make. I remember it had a distinct after taste, that stayed on the tongue. Cant remember if i even new what decarbing was back then tho.

I have done the experiment and it’s all true! I prefer sunflower to soya though. Both work it’s about flavour and texture too for me. The effects are the same
