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

[Weedhound]

Here are the two things I've found to be the most important and I cook the mix in a small pan at pretty much 1:1 ratio with coconut oil.

1. Keep temperature between 200-275F. I use a candy thermometer but with this method you literally have to stay with the mixture the whole time. I need to retry some in my crockpot and check temps along the way because I did NOT get the same results in my crockpot and I'm strongly guessing that the temps are too low.

2. The longer you cook it the better it gets.....again considering that you have to watch the temp and stay glued to the kitchen. If you walk away and it burns (anything over 300F I've found to start really burning the mix to useless).....and it burns up QUICK once it hits that temp and above. I've found out the hard way not to leave it unattended. That's where I think if you have a crockpot that will get your temps over 200F and under 275F you're in great shape. Candy/oil thermometers are cheap and you can get them at your local grocery store.

This method works beautifully for me. So far I've cooked them up to 2 1/2 hrs at these temps with EXCELLENT results. At one hour the results were good to very good. I have found the extra time to be worth the effort without question.

if im doing the bowl inside the pot method do i want the water under the bowl boiling? or just steaming? and should i have it covered?

[Rock.Steady]

water boils at 212F / 100C.
sounds to me it needs to be a lil hotter.
i would follow Weedhound's lead and get the candy thermometer:thumbsup:

Just got done doing this via the boiling water and glass bowl with something similar to the egg cooker.

Cooked for a little over an hour used kief. So we will see how they turned out as far as potency I used 2 grams of kief and 7 grams of coconut oil.

ok, so i made some last night and hopefully i did it right. I'm just not sure if i got it hot enough. I had a small ceramic condiment cup raised off the bottom of a pot by a metal insert for the pot. I started the water off just steaming, for about 1 hour, then boiling for about 30 minutes. I turned it down to a simmer and let it go another 2 hours. The oil ended up light green/golden brown. Then I let it harden in the freezer for a little bit, chopped it up, and stuck it in the capsules. Its mostly weed in the capsules. I had very little pure oil since most was sucked into the weed. about 1.6g of weed and 2 teaspoons of coconut oil. filled exactly 12 capsules, plus i scraped the last of the oil from the plate and filled the tops of most of them. I popped 2 about an hour and 45 minutes ago ( i did 2 since ive been smoking this particular strain for about 3 or 4 months, and this strain exclusively for the past month and a half). I feel a little sluggish and my vision has a slight haze but they havent kicked in hardcore. I gave one to my roommate about 30 minutes ago also. She hasnt been smoking this strain as much as i have so it will be interesting to see how it hits us both. I check back in either later tonight or sometime tomorrow to let you know how it turns out.
