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

I haven't done them enough to tell you definitively when they start to go bad but I would say just make about a month's supply at a time, and keep them in the fridge in a sealed container. The amount of work is reasonable to be able to do it once a month.

I'm not sure either and am surprised that they do degrade. I thought light, air and heat were the cause of degradation. I have frozen weed before and as long as it is dry and you are careful defrosting it so you dont break off the brittle trichromes it stays the potient for years. Butttt the capsuals do change. I noticed no difference after 3 months but after 5 months, I had to throw the rest away. So I would say safely 3 months.
rots u ruck. :hippy:

can i use a convection oven to cook the oil?

[lunarose]

I would think a convection oven would work better because it would heat the oil mixture more evenly but I don't think it would be any faster.

This is a great idea, but I have two questions... i saw that if it smells strong your doing it wrong, but how much does it smell up a room?... i am living in a dorm and I was wondering if the smell is somewhat strong enough to stink up a room... that would be bad. My other question is do you just put the coffee cup directly in the slow cooker? Thanks!:thumbsup:

Yes, you just place the cup in the crockpot, but honestly I would not try this in a dorm. It doesn't smell like weed when you CAN smell it, but its got a very distinct herbal smell. Any authority figure power hungry/paranoid would probably be suspicious.

Anyway, I personally like just use a small shot glass for my cooking. Currently I just use small amounts of keif/hash so a coffee cup's just a bit too much area for my mixture

I just bought the Capsules, pippette and Capsule filling machine today. Cant wait to try it out. Has anyone tried this with AVB and if so what is the ratio of Cocunut oil to AVB?

Hey I have a question that I would love to be answered by Weedhound or Flame if I am so lucky as to hear from him
I have spent many hours reading almost all some 750-800 post (I have missed about 100 or so). In regards to using crock pots.
Early on in the thread there was some discussion about when using crock pots an alternative to simply placing the coffee cup in the center of the crock pot was to place water in the crock pot and place the coffee cup in water.
Flame moved away from this because of the fact many were having an issue with what was later discovered was the temp not getting high enough.
My 1st question
For some one willing to monitor the temp and willing to cycle the temp back and forth between high and low to keep the temp around 225 for at least 4-6 hrs. Cant it be used?
In regards to the process from what i have read in this thread Are the following critical items that would ruin a batch?
1. Temp must be maintained above the temp to melt the trichromes and bond the THC to the oil but below the vape temp which would effect its potency.
2. Time is dependent on temp. Basically if what I understand is correct. High temp means short cook time and low cook temp means longer cook times.
3. Grinding the weed. The better its grinned the better chance for couch lock. Basically i want to expose as much surface area of the weed as possible to the oil. If all you have is a basic 3 stage grinder is that enough if you grind the shit out of it? i mean grind the shit out it.
4. The weed. Its a vital ingredient why wouldn't the quality matter?
In regards to using ABV let me ask a general question before I get into a specific. We all know that you cant just eat weed alone and get high. The THC has to be activated or realeased via heat /alcohol. Does the some hold true for AB V Could someone just swallow ABV and get the same effects as cooking with it.

I made it exactly to the recipes standards and it didn't work at all. The pills i used were emptied were about half the size of 00. So first time i took 2, which would be like taking 1 regular one, then today i took 3, and felt absolutely nothing.

And i guess the only question is, since i did exactly what the recipe said and it didnt work, should i try emptying the capsules into the crokpot again and cook on high this time? Any other suggestions? thanks i really want this to work

[umpnum14]

From early on that has been flames suggestion when someone had a batch and didnt turnout. So im guessing yes What have you got to lose?
Did you use a thermometer the kind the you can actually stick in the oil and what did your temp during the cooking process if you had one?
