Extraction Coco Butter

[Shiva's Mistress]

She's cool. Thanks. Her son who is THC ignorant (no tolerance) just went in the kitchen and ate one of the mini cupcake ones and one gummi bear. LOL.

Oh, crap....................

He knows what it is, right?
Cancel his day, and prepare a nice setting for him.
A well accompanied and guided first time is a very important event.
Do it well, and can be very learning and beneficial.
Hope he has a good one, take care of him!!!!!

That's why I changed to RSO style.
I felt the coco-oil method still left a lot in the herb.

Oh, I forgot, yeah, I kept that coco-oil soaked herb, and would throw a bit in my coffee, too.
It worked fine, but it was all fibrous leafy stuff and wasn't pleasant.
The alcohol method really took it all out of the plant.

Purchased a THC tester. Made some more Cocobutter. 125 ml infused oil tested out at 15mg THC per ml 125x15=1875mg THC. The tester also checks for CBD and THCa. We did not run the other 2 tests.

What is a good THC mg number per gummy bears for beginners?

 

[Builder0101]

If low tolerance or THC ignorant 5 mg. Wait up to 2 hours to fully take effect. You can always take two to start with next time. People often make the mistake of waiting an hour and then taking a few more then the 1st one kicks in... A heavy medictator would prefer 50mg or even 100mg edibles.

That's some seriously cool tech there! Very useful for accurate dosing.
I guess you can then also calculate how much THC you pulled from your total flower amount as well, just 1875/number of grams.

Yes I can test flower and get a THC, CBD, and THCa value and extrapolate that out.
The Tangerine Dream this infusion came from came in at 14.9% THC. 4.5oz top quality buds dried and cured.
Plus so far she has produced 4550mg of THC from
Popcorn, kief, and sugar leaves.
