I keep them in the fridge for a month or so. I also freeze them. Good for up to about a year, or so they say.
Cool thank you, i had a friend tell me they were only good a month or so⦠but i was told much much longer.
First harvest and i want to make some mct infused oil but i dont have any of the cool infusing equipment. Is there a simple recipe to make in crockpot? I find lots of crockpot recipes for butter or coconut oil, would you use same for mct? Do you have one to share? I have 2 gallon-sized ziplock bags of prime trim and small bud in freezer. Ill have to dry and decarbā¦then what? Not too worried about odor.
Itās my understanding that you infuse mct oil the same way as regular coconut oil or butter.
In the crockpot I donāt decarb first. Just let it all (weed,oil,lecithin) simmer on low for 6-8 hours. If you decarb first I think it only takes a couple of hours, maybe less, to infuse.
Hope this helps
@RubysMom I did a batch in a machine but I probably put only 1/2 weed that I needed. So I poured it into a pot & put on simmer Then I put 1/2oz in cheesecloth and added it to pot. So it was about 1/2 oz to one cup oil. I donāt have a time frame, I just winged it. I like Mct bc no flavor & is actually good for you. After straining a few times using cheesecloth & wire mesh strainer. This was before I started working on getting supplies to grow my own. I donāt know the strain. I can stay that oil kicked my ass literally! I fell asleep on my kitchen floor one night bc I couldnāt get to my bed. I had taken way too much not considering the extra weed I added. Most bizarre experience. Yes, Iāve read ppl using crockpot to infuse. You can type in gummies with Mct & itāll show any discussions about it. Iām sorry I donāt have a recipe. Sometimes just a mad scientist so I havenāt been any help here ![]()

What amounts. Do you use weed, oil & lecithin?
I do an ounce of weed per cup of oil, and like a half teaspoon of lecithin. This was the first time I used lecithin and I think Iād use less next time. I think only a tablespoon per gallon of oil I heard somewhere. I just gave a little squeeze of the bottle and about 1/2 tsp came out. Oops. Shouldāve not just squeezed it right into the oil the oil certainly works though. Licked the spatula and lost the afternoon ![]()

Thanks. Ill try this!
Pretty much ![]()
She only used 1/2 oz with 2 cups of oil. No wonder mine knocked me on my A$$ ![]()
Yeah your tincture would have been 4 times hers per 1ml probably⦠![]()
But that would not be way crazy maybe like 21mg THC per 1ml.
Iām a lightweight though. 20 mg puts me in the couch ![]()
Wow it would be pretty cool to have that tester, maybe some day lol

Hahaha I do too, and then sometimes Iām like oh
you did it again dummy
I always decarb. Takes 30 minutes in the Levo. Then I pour in the infusing medium (butter, coconut oil, etc.) and infuse for 4:20 at 165 degrees. If Iām especially busy, I let it go for more time. Then dispense into a jar, push out the excess infused oils from the pods, and clean up. The oil/butter is pristine. No plant matter whatsoever.
When Iām cooling it down, I shake the jar every few minutes until it starts to set. Keeps oils from getting those little frog eyes as it hardens. Never a problem. No lecithin needed.
Using @HobbyDobby gummie recipe, about how many 2ml gummies would this make? @TT said 68 gummies in 4ml molds, so should i assume 136?
