The Mrs has planned a "Girls' weekend" this weekend on top of our Mountain & I offered to make a batch of Triple-Choc. Fudge Brownies for them to enjoy around the bonfire.

For some obscure reason, they're hesitant & are asking for takeaways......???

'Had a chat with my Sis. earlier about pain relief & sleep, so I'm doing a large batch of cap's for her (& others.....).

DSCN3760.JPG

A mixture of Charlotte's Angel that I grew for her years ago (no THC, maybe 15% CBD) Wonder Woman (her favourite smoke), mixed stuff that I deliberately turned into a CBN infusion a few years ago & some Critical Orange Punch leftovers from a previous cap's batch infusion.

All-up, there's about 500g, but shouldn't be incapacitating when spread into about 3000 caps.

I'm calling this experiment the "Wodonga Womble"o_O

She was on STUPID/RIDICULOUS amounts of Oxy (prescribed, of course..) until I was able to obtain & grow something for her that turned the corner. Needless to say, Customs screwed the original plan until I was able to get something through.

She now uses negligible Oxy & hasn't asked me for smokable stuff for ages. The cap's I provide her WORK!!!

I ordered Harlequin for her & still have them in my arsenal, but in the meantime, what I've cooked/capped up for her from the popcorn buds from my own grows keeps her off the prescribed shit & (ironically) her GP knows all about it & is 100% on-board with it.:D

I’ve always been interested in and enjoyed edibles, and have started exploring dosages and recipes again.
As one volcano or mighty + capsule usually doses me quite well if high Thc, I aimed to replicate that. It’s easy making very strong edibles and having to halve or quarter a treat is something I want to avoid.
Red gummies are test zero batch. Gold ones are pineapple coconut flavoured gummies (pineapple gelatine, infused coconut oil and pineapple coconut juice). Tiny hint of canna flavour but good taste.
My calcs were 3 would equal a vape cap.
So on an empty tummy with coffee, 3 have induced brain stretch within 30 minutes. Almost fours later pleasantly ripped. At about 350 gummies, should be about 100 doses. Next batch will be various strength’s of concentrate gummies. I’ll add some estimates of dosage later.
All I do know is buy the good old mint leaves and hard or soft jubes or any of the sugar-coated lollies like trolli worms etc. Put them in a strainer over a container and pour my tincture over them let them dry and coat them in castor sugar so they don't stick together and done. Taste is far superior than home made ones and you can leave them in a hot car without them melting on you.

A known fact is the right amount of THC, CBD, CBG mixed in right amounts 4 the person consuming, can actually reduce or even stop the amount of opiates used by that individual....Fact i tells ya

3 x 500g jars from this batch so far:
DSCN3765.JPG
Each one of them should yield 700+ caps, but I'm not done yet......

Since I'm doing such a large batch & there's still a lot of goodies left in the oil-infused buds, I've dumped them into my big slow-cooker with a heap of water & set it to go overnight.

I wouldn't normally do this in summer, but since I've got a large amount of bulk material, it makes sense to do it now & get it out of the way, rather than freeze it for later processing. I hate wasting stuff.....

The residual oil in the solids should separate & float to the surface in a clean layer, leaving the spent vegetable matter & water in the bottom.

This is normally a Winter thing, as I just put the pot outside to cool & solidify. 'Might have to use the beer fridge this time.

Any solids remaining in the solidified oil are easily separated with a bit of re-heat & a sieve.

I read back a bit, but not sure. What’s in the 3 jars, tincture?
Don’t the caps melt?
It’s good to get a good work flow👍
This is a batch of bulk coconut oil infusion for my Sis. in order to make Cannacaps. The contents of the jars will be packaged into individual gel-caps in batches of 100 at a time (all my machines will handle). I can normally process 400 in one sitting before my eyesight & manual dexterity deteriorate....
Product testing/sampling & quality control etc. must be observed....:giggle:

The cap's don't melt if you keep them refrigerated. I freeze them on a plate as soon as they're filled & then keep them in the fridge. No problems with melting.

For full strength thc butter I use 2 oz popcorn/trim to 500g butter.

For full strength thc ( coconut) oil I use 1oz popcorn/trim to 1 cup coconut oil.

If these are too strong, simply reduce the amount of cannabis/ratio OR eat less/smaller portions of the edibles, you pig 🤣

Need to decarb the cannabis first, unless you have one of the fancy/expensive machines that does it all for you.

Agree with Goonie here.

A lot will depend on what strain you're using for the butter/oil infusion. Sativa's will probably keep you awake, whereas Indica's are probably what you're after for sleep.

I generally infuse 100-120 grams of whatever I have laying around in 900g of coconut oil (it's how the Coles virgin coconut oil is packaged;)). Taking losses in the process into consideration, I can generally make 1000-1200 "00" caps from the proceeds.

I use this online calculator to gauge the strength of each capsule: https://www.scientificedibles.com/

There's lots of variables, but I generally like to keep caps below 10mg/dose & they're nicely cruisy & "schnoozly" without sending you into the next galaxy. Great for sleep.

I've sent a few to folks around the country & they've been happy with the results. Your own patterns of use/tolerance etc. will obviously have an impact. You can always take another cap if one doesn't do it for you.

I do half-strength ones for a few family members that have pain & insomnia they're happy.

Packaging caps can be a bit of a PITA, but if you use a machine like this one, you can do 100 at a time & get a consistent dose with each one:

Good luck with it!

Easiest thing I do now is gummies, forget the mct etc recipes, make a tincture go get your favourite sugar coated gummies, like the old school mint leaves ( my fav) or sours etc, any gummy can be used but ive noticed the sugar coated not the shiny type ( snakes, red frogs etc) soak the tincture in, get a wire strainer put in a container like ice cream bucket, pour tincture over them let strain, lay out and a tray to dry and coat them in castor sugar to stop them sticking together pour tincture back in a jar for next run and done, once you have the tincture made you can make a kg of gummies in about 2 minutes excluding drying time

It’s all there Rabbitlicker, I’ve finally got it. There’s more detail in the
“Hand cleaner for resin thread” from post #33.

Thanks, I just checked it again. 'Can't say that the process actually gels (pardon the obvious pun) in my head.

EDIT: I have tincture coming out of my arse, but all I can envisage is the gummies melting into a gooey mess.

Yeah took me awhile but I think I got it. The tincture evaporates leaving the Thc residue. I’ll give it a crack with my polish moonshine. You could also use citric acid instead of caster sugar for a sour taste. I was thinking of doing a 50-50 blend.
For me dose consistency is important, no surprises or disappointments.
