Hi, I've been watching this great thread evolve and have sat back and said nothing. Thanks to Flameon and weedhound and everyone else involved in this thread.. you have changed my world!

This worked for me first time, this is how I did mine.

12 grams of dryed and cured / de-stemmed bc hasplant/grimm (AKA Bigfoot). I ran the buds through a strainer to get rid of ALL the wood, then I put the strained bud in an oven preheated to around 300f for about 5 min just to get rid of any residual moisture that was in it.(no other reason). I then put the 12 grams into an electric coffee grinder and made it into the finest powder possible ( still weighing 12 grams). Most of the powder will come out easily if the weed is properly dry. Got out the slow cooker and preheated 56grams of coconut oil to 80c-85c (low) in a soup bowl, dropped in the powdered bud and gave it a stir. The oil immediatly turned dark green like it was food dye and it looked like most of the powder actually dissolved. I watched the temps for 2 hours not letting it get above 90c, stirring again at 1 hour in. Then I turned the crock up to high and stirred it and left it to fluctuate between 226 f and 228, mixture temp. At this point the smell even smelled right. On the lower temp it smelled like faint coconut but now it was a coconutty / hashy sort of makes you want to eat it smell. At one point it briefly reached 230f ish and now the smell was a hint of a burning. I will always judge the temps with smell now as well as with the thermometer. Anyways cooked at 226 for 1 hr (very slightly bubbling), stirred then cooked at same for another 1 hr 15min, switched the crock off, stirred really well (now looks a hashy brown but no obvious residue in the mix). I then left the thermometer in and waited until it cooled to about 50c, took a 100ml siringe (big bastard with no needle that the nozzle happens to be about the same size as the end of a 00 capsule) and whilst stirring with the siringe, sucked up the whole mixture. There was a bit of residue on the bottom of the bowl but with the quick stirring and sucking at the same time with the siringe, every drop was sucked up :thumbsup:. Now the tricky part is to fill the capsules up right? :wtf:
With the siringe just warm to the touch (mixture still liquid just press on the plunger gently and a bit of residue along with mostly oil will drip into each capsule (about 10 drips to fill a 00). I used a cigarette package with some holes (10) I made with a pen, in it. It worked ok but have now ordered a holder. I Made 10 put them in the fridge, made another 10 ect.

I got 70 full capsules in total form 12 grams of really good quality, dry gear.

Yesterday I did the test.. 1 capsule at 1pm had a good buzz after 1.5 to 2hrs then at 3pm took another. 2hrs later i'm really high by now and at 5pm I took number 3. By 8pm I am almost too high and a bit of paranoia set in but I had some food and closed my eyes for half an hour and was great after that. It is now 1:15 AM and I am still really high now!

Next time I will use a bit more oil because these really are a bit too strong. I have been smoking about 2 grams of this same weed everyday for about 3 months and I thought that I had a high tolerance to it but this is a whole different ballgame!!! :stoned:

I think that making a decent size batch will help people having trouble keep their temps more constant. Also the powdered weed is a must. The mix didn't look like it had any residue and certainly no visible weed in it during the process until i sucked it up with the siringe and even that went up the hole without any real hassle.
Finally, use the best quality weed you can get, the more tricomes (crystals) the better cuz that what getz u high.

Good luck everyone!

Thanks again all and good night!

ps with a ml marked siringe like i used, you can judge how many capsules you will get as well because about .9ml fills 1 -00 capsule.
