Here’s some Cannabis Oil I made.
Ingredients:
-42 grams DECARBED sugar leaf trim Dinafem Blue Cheese, frozen
-1 cup ethanol, ice cold
I did a 5 minute wash, only. I should have gone longer, but was trying very hard to keep it golden. It was winterized and triple-filtered before being Sourced for 2 hours. It’s been drying on a mat for 2 days.
Ended up with 1 gram of dabbable yumminess!
Top Right is the solution before being processed in the Source
I did a second wash, but ended up blending that into another project because I needed the extra cup of ethanol.

Thanks. My son in-law became my official research assistant and sampled 1 dropper full of my tincture. Said it gave him a nice body high. Wife tried it started with a half of a dropper. Followed by a full one an hour later. It is definitely effective. Had a very calm relaxed day. Slept well.

Wife has been taking about 1ml of tincture at night. Sleeping much better wakes up pain free most days. Has gained 3 pounds eating much better. Anxiety has decreased as well. Definitely will making more after I return from vacation. Want to improve quality think getting a Büchner funnel would be cost effective. What is the best size flask and funnel. Will be running 2oz of bud and trim material. Have seen a link before can’t find it.

I have a 9cm Buchner with 3/8 & 1/4 in. hose fittings. The volume is up to you, really, but if you plan on running 2oz, that’ll take about a pint of ethanol or 500ml. You’ll need a hand vacuum pump or a motorized pump, too. I can’t help you there, as I just use my Source’s vacuum.
Make sure you get fast and slow filter paper, though coffee filters can also be used.
That is excellent to hear about the tincture!

Great info thanks
Is it better to decarb bud, then in the same Mason jar just put mct in it and use crock pot to slow cook at 212 for 8 hours? Does an alcohol wash make stronger results?

Yes. An infusion and a concentrate are very different, potency wise. The same amount of starting material will yield you more potency in less volume if you make a concentrate, then mix that with your carrier oil. It also allows for easier dosage estimates, because purged concentrates, no matter the strain, have about the same amount of cannabinoids per gram(rso–about 650-750mg per gram/clean extract–about 800-900mg per gram).

So 1 ounce love triangle decarbbed, frozen w frozen everclear (28 grams?). Fir a few hours, shaking the crsp out of it every hour? Then in a pie plate, or similar to evaporate over 2 or 3 days. Then mix that into 14 grams mct, warmed. Sorry for digging into specifics, but the oral has helped so much & my most recent batch was shite!!. Love your info, friggin rock🤟

That’s it!
For my personal dosing purposes, I usually mix 1 gram of oil per 10ml of MCT, then take approximately .75-1 ml per day.
An ounce of bud should yield you between 4-8 grams of oil.
What happened to your recent batch?
I made some and shared w family, same results on first batch. Trying to repeat it is challenging. Glad for this forum, great way to avoid pills for this crap. Best of luck.

Was trim, just week. Decarbbed ounce of trim 220, 30 min. Crock pot in mct for 8 hours. Strained into 4 1/4 cup bottles. It’s ok, but doesn’t seem as effective as my first batch. That one I did in the Mason jar, per your recommendation, decarb through mct. Seemed more effective, but was also bud.

Trim is great! Just remember it takes about 4-5x the amount of trim to get the same yield as bud. Potency wise, there’s no difference, once it’s extracted and concentrated.
Gonna make some tonight, will update in a few days. Danka blackthumbbetty

Last question even though it has been awhile. The black resin gooey stuff, does this have THC or is it just goo?
