Did the green dragon with everclear and an electric stove, in a controlled manner. Nothing!, well, i did get a little buzzed by the everclear, but as far as im concerned, you have to wait the whole "two weeks" for it to fully transfer.Quote:

GoldenBoy, I use trim and stems when I make my greendragon extraction and alone it is weak I am not sure if it is because I use trim and stems or what so after I evaporate all the alcohol I add it to may ground bud and oil mix before cooking it.
How much do you use when doing this? Do you have to eat larger amounts than if you cooked with it? I've heard of people making smoothies too, but it always called for copious amounts of bud. Along with seeds and fresh fan leaves. So I think that recipe was more for the larger scale grower.Quote:

Or putting it to either of the other settings. I get great results so far, but havent experimented any yet to tweak my recipe. Any advise about ideal temps would be awesome :)
Sorry I have been slow to respond. I use about 1/2 a gram of the best that I can afford. The buzz is different, more body than head, but smoking about 1hr+ after ingesting lets each technique compliment each other in a big way.Quote:

just to let you guys know i think it helps TONS during my treatment regimen. no irritating the lungs and great effect.....portable but they can get leaky in hot conditions.
I HAVE to bump this thread. First of all, a HUGE thanks to flame and the hound family for experimenting so much with the capsule recipe.
I've been reading both threads on capsules for the past several days, just trying to gather information. Once I pick up a thermometer, I'm going to try it for myself.
What I've gathered up:
-put 1.5 teaspoons of coconut oil into a coffe mug
-put mug into crock pot, set on high
-grind up 1.5g of dro as fine as i can
-put bud into mug
-once temp reaches 225, switch to low
-let simmer for 2-3 hours, stirring every hour
I'm planning on letting it fully cool, because I believe posters in flame's thread said it has a play-doh like consistency, which to me seems a lot easier to deal with than pouring a messy oil into tiny capsules.
I also saw this on another site, but haven't tried it. If anyone wants to give it a go, let us know how it goes!
Quote:
1/8th oz herb. (I used shwag the first time)
4oz Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
32 Empty Gelatin Pill Sleeves. (Get them online, or just go to the store and buy some cheap ginko biloba pills.)
....that's it!
Now the fun part begins.
1. Put your herb in a blender for 2 minutes, till it is powder. Add a few tablespoons of water if it is super dry.
2. Move all herb into another container, use glass, it makes the process a lot easier. Then place in freezer overnight.
3. Remove from freezer, and in same container add your olive oil slowly! Add a little bit, then stir, a little bit more, stir, but stop when you have exceded saturation point (when it starts to look more like a soup than a mixture).
4. Place in microwave for two minutes. (covered! I made that mistake)
5. Remove from microwave, stir vigorously, to help break up any particulates or clumps.
6. Place back into microwave for another minute.
7. Remove, you want it to be thick...almost like a tar. If it is still runny...zap it again. But DO NOT LET IT SMOKE! If it smokes, it's burning your WEED)
8. Stir, till it is even. It should at this point be a dark amber, but NOT black!
9. Line up your empty pills, inside your filler. ( I bought 1000 empty gel caps online size 000 with a filler, for 15 dollars. If you do not have a filler, this is going to be harder. Look at step Z at the bottom of my post.)
10. Take a spoonfull of your mix, then place it over the filler. Next use a playing card(clean) to evenly smear over your empty pill containers, so they are all evenly filled. Repeat till all pills are filled, then place tops on pills.
11. Repeat process till all thc mix is used.
12. Place pills in freezer for One day.( you can do this for just a few hours if you want.)
13. Clean up....thats it!
14. The fun begins! Just like cannabutter, you have to be weary of your tollerance. I'm a medium heavy smoker, and 2 pills of this from schwag, kept me high for almost 9 hours.)
15. Take one pill your first time. It will take about an hour and a half to kick in. If you do not get your desired effect, take ONE more pill. But be sure not to drive anyplace. This will knock you on your ass. Seriously, the only time i have ever been this high, is when I smoked my amsterdam hash.
16. Place pills back in freezer, or in the fridge. I like the fridge, because it doesn't take as long to digest.
17. That's it! They will keep for a long time, I've started makin these all the time now, instead of actually smoking. I only smoke when I want to be high for an hour. These pills should be used for weekend use only people. They are very strong.
18. NOW GO HAVE SOME FUN!!! YOU WILL BE AS HIGH AS ALL HELL...BUT YOU WON'T HAVE COTTONMOUTH!
Z. For those of you whom do not have a pill filler, this is what you will have to do. Take your tar mix, and add about 1oz oil. Place in microwave for 20 seconds. Mix, till smooth and workable. It should be about as thin as the oil was to begin with. Then use an eye dropped to place into your empty pills. Place caps on, and put it in the freezer. That's it. It's really simple!)
Also, I live with parents who don't know of me smoking, and I'd like to keep it that way. My plan is to do this experiment in my basement bathroom at 10 or 11 at night. I'd really rather not stare at a crock pot until 3 or 4 in the morning, so I was wondering if I could do this in my room. I was thinking about putting it under my desk on my carpet, but I'm not sure how safe this is, and how hot it'll get. Any advice?
I'd be careful. Sometimes the smell is a lot stronger than you think it is. I know when I make mine it never really smells all that strong, but my roommate will tell me that I'm stinking up the whole house. You just don't notice it when you are standing right over it. Try to make you crockpot air tight. Mine has a large band that stretches over the top to keep it on tight, and I put a piece of duct tape over the air hole in the lid. Taping up the hole also keeps mine a little less than 10 degrees warmer. Good luck making yours.
I also have a question about long cook times. I always let mine go over night for a total of 10-12 hours. They turn out great, but I have heard oxidation occurs when you cook it for long periods exposed to fresh air. This causes the THC to break down and be less potent.
Does anyone have any factual evidence of this? I've looked but can't find anything. I heard about this on this forum under one of the glycerine tincture threads.
So I was thinking I could just cook it in a mason or bell jar with the lid on but not screwed tight so hot air can escape and fresh air can't get in.
I usually stir my mix every hour or so for the first 4 hours then go to sleep for the rest. Instead I could tighten the lid for a few seconds and shake it, or I could just skip stirring it up. I think not stirring would result in hot spots though and some herb could be damaged. Although if that was the case then letting it cook while I slept would be detrimental to it.
Any advise on these things would be greatly appreciated :) I'd love to try something new and suddenly have my caps super potent!
