Assuming you were fairly careful to remove any sharply pointed/serrated edged leaves from your bud (they can have microscopic thorns that irritate the stomach lining), your fine to use all of it.

Remember, 7 grams of oil (one and a half teaspoons) mixed with 1.5 or 2 grams of ground bud when simmered together will give you (more or less) the right amount of volume to fill 12 capsules (pro-rata). If you don't include (or strain out) the residue, you'll end up with slightly less.

When you finish simmering your ground bud and oil, (assuming you haven't used ground up fan leaves etc - see above) you can just tip the whole lot onto a plate and mix it evenly into your capsules, that way your sure of getting every molecule of THC.
But, if you're not sure, try some with, and some without to test your reactions. i.e did it give you a stomach ache, did you get higher and for longer etc?
It's worth noting that this isn't just something that applies to capsules, but actually making anything using the fan leaves etc can give some people a stomach ache.

The only times it's happened to me have had more to do with the quantities of crisps, coke and chocolate I 'crammed' down when I had the munchies lol

Let us know how it went
