Cannabis Capsules â?? A step-by-step guide.

Jay, it was suposed to be good stuff, but smoking it, I think it was decent mids at most. Who knows what the next batch will be as I need to find someone local to me, or fly to FL.

I'm giving it my first shot right now. I took all the Keif I got from my 1/8 and threw it in some coconut oil so it looked as to be a good mix. I didn't measure or anything, because I'm mostly experimenting to see what will happen. Mostly because it seems as though there is no tried and true method that works for everyone.

I put them in the crock at 125c and turned it on to high so it will gradually get warmer throughout the hour. At the hour I will pull them out, cool them and then make some caps. Not sure how many this will make, but I'm assuming about 5 or so? I might add a little more coconut oil about halfway through the cooking depending on how I think it's looking.

I will have to wait till after work to try these. So tonight I will let everyone know how my caps turn out. So in about 12 hours I should have some info on how my try at it goes. Let's hope for the best. :jointsmile:

Hi,

I have found the capsules at Wholefoods and at local health food stores. In a pinch you can go to Walmart and get a bottle of something cheap from the vitamin or supplement department I have gotten the niacin caps for around $2 for 100 and empty them out.

I have been following this thread for weeks and taking notes on those who have had success and those who havent. Many people who are using swchag and mids seem to be having more problems with the pills not working than those who start off with hash or high quality meds. Also those with the most success closely monitor temperatures and follow instructions.

I ordered all my stuff through amazon, including a digital thermonitor so I can track the temp throughout the cooking process. I used 1.5 grams of average hash and .5 gram of good stuff.

Before even doing it for real I did a practice run, running the crockpot a few hours with wesson oil in a small purex cup. I took notes on temps and wrote them down at different time intervals.

Once I knew how my crock pot worked, I started with the real deal. Ran it on high for an hour, then lowered it to low once it was hot. The mixture got to a high of 258 degrees and never dropped below190 degrees. AN hour and 15 minutes later the cooling process began. I loaded my pills in the caddy that came with them with the exact baby medicine dropper that flame used. I filled 24 capsules, despite dropping some mixture and making a little mess.

took my first pill at 6:45 and two hours later was feeling REALLY GOOD! It was a combination couchlock with a nice haze. went to bed at 10:30 and it was really going. WOke up at 6 am for work and still had a slight buzz until about 9:30 a.m.! Flame you are the man!

Ok, so I bit for this one and tried it out last night. .8g fine dried hand ground herbs, 4.6g virgin coconut oil. Simmered for about 2.5 hours on 200F in a toaster oven. I found the miniature non stick muffin tray icluded to be perfect for the oil. Anyway, made the thing, color looked ok I guess but after about an an hour and forty five minutes, only a few giggles, and it was too late to stay up any longer. I do remember feeling funny before bed, sleeping like a baby, and having some vivid cool dreams...

Tonight I cooked up a couple more mini batches each in their own tin- .5 gram and a teaspoon of coconut oil- just lake flame said in other posts. This time I used a coffe grinder to prepare my material and made it nice and powdery. I put it in the oven at about 200F for like 3 minutes to 'activate' it first, then ground it up after making sure it was .5g dry weight. I lost a little weight in the grind, so I added some hand ground flakes to one of the batches to compensate. This time cooked on about 240-240F for about 2hrs 20mins, and in refrigerator now. I was afraid to vape my shit on accident, so I tried to calibrate the temperature by testing where I had to get the know to to heat a pan up enought to sizzle droplets of water, then I gave it a little more juice and ended up a little ways before the 250F mark. Also this time I put the toaster oven broiler pan over the muffin tin to protect it from direct overheating since theirs some sort of quartz or ceramic heating rod emements on the top AND bottom of this thing. I will admit both times it was somewhat smelly, but not like an herb sense, more like just smelling 'something'. Anyway, will follow up with more...

Check out some pics of (someone elses) first batch:

It only took an hour for my wife. She took one at 4:45, called me at 5:45 and told me everything in the world is A OK! I got home at 6:30 and she is passed out cold in bed snoring away. It was a knockout for her.

This is only my first batch but I feel the key is using pretty decent hash. 2 g of different kinds of hash made 24 full pills. I scraped the mess i spilled and was able to get a 25th. I figured they only cost about $2.10 cents each. Freaking great.

I have 3.3 grams of purple kush hash. Cant wait to make 39 more pieces of heaven!

No dice. Didn't work the way it should have. I'm guessing it is mostly because of the fact that I did not cook them correctly. I took three of them and did not feel one single thing. I felt some sort of floaty feeling pop up halfway through posting this, but I think that was just a placebo type of thing from thinking about it. That and it seemed to have gone away right away.

I'm not too disappointed, because I kind of rushed it. I have a scale on order, so I wasn't able to weigh anything. I barely even cooked it for an hour. I had to go to work and I wanted to have them for when I got off. Unfortunately, it ended up being just as good as not having them.

Time to grab my batty and give this cooking thing another shot. Only this time it's already been cooking for 2 and a half hours.

so, i just started my first plant, it is about 1in tall and has it's first pair of "real leaves". I have 1 60w plant light about 1" away from the plant. Is this too close, it doesn't seem to be burning or stressing the plant. Should i have a higher watt light? i've read a lot of people having 200 and 400w bulbs. Also, can I begin fertelizing my plant this early, and if so, what type should i use? Thanks

So I split one of the 'cakes' I made last night with my wife with no noticeable results. (you can see some counterfeit fake pictures f the batch below). I'm thinking it's either the wrong coconut oil, my temperature setting is too high, or maybe I shouldn't use a toaster oven at all because maybe it uses too much heat in small bursts to maintain an 'average' oven tamperature. I still have one 'cake for breakfast' to try out. It could be that I keep going to sleep on this stuff... It's hard to tell becase by the time I get to eat some, 1.5-2 hours later when it's supposed to work- I NEED to go to bed anyway... Any advice on how to get this to work better?

Also, Flame or anyone else who can answer- I posted pics of the coconut oil I bought as well. Can someone confirm tht this is the correct type? Both coconut oil and ghee are tough to find around my way- an asian food market and 4 grocery stores later, this is what I found. I'm pretty sure it's good, but I'm concerned it desn't say 'extra virgin' like everyone elses, and mine says refined instead of unrefined. Any answers/advice would be great...
