so I was going through my weed box making space for my jars from my harvest and I had a few bottles with weed in them they are from my plants that I harvest before I would take like a gram for each plant I harvested and toss them in the box some of them are almost a year old
so I took out three of them and put them on a scale it was 3.2 grams in total I also had a half of a gram of kief I had so I decided to do a fun experiment with it and try and make a cannabis tincture with what I just had lying around the house
the buds I used were
Tyrone Special auto # 1 that one was #95 days old from harvest
Tyrone Special auto # 2 that one was #89 days old from harvest
freeze berry auto that one was #157 days old from harvest
plus a half gram of unknown kief I got from a friend
so as you can see the bud I used was quite old from 3 to 5 months old and those were not even the oldest ones I had just the ones I grabbed
so I took all the bud grinded it with my grinder and attempted to decarb it in the microwave since I could not use the oven its not working right now I just put the weed in a cupcake baking wrapper and put that in a bowl and did 20 second bursts for about 3 min I would stop and shake the bud around between bursts so it would get too hot to fast and burn
then since I did not have any everclear or other alcohol I used two 1.oz bottles of pure orange extract and one 1.oz bottle of pure lemon extract now before you think I am crazy pure lemon extract and pure orange extract are just mostly alcohol with a bit of water and lemon or orange oil the alcohol in each bottle is 83% percent alcohol or 166 proof so its strong
so to sum it up I used 3.2 grams of bud and a half gram of kief decarb it in the microwave then added three 1.oz bottles of pure extract and shook it up and put it in the freezer
I tried to use my old hot plate to reduce some of the alcohol to concentrate it a bit more but it blow out the power breaker so that was not a option so the freeze method it was for me
to anyone reading this there are much better ways of doing this like I said this was just a fun experiment for me I do want to try this again but I want to do it properly
I plan on leaving it in the freezer for about a few days and shaking it up every now and then
I do not suggest using this method do a little research and trust me its not that hard to do yourself
