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.


Ill keep ya updated

thanks for the TUTORIAL!
Hi jeepboi and welcome to the thread,
It's a pity I didn't log in sooner, but if you haven't taken those remaining caps yet, don't!

There are a couple of issues that may have affected their potency, and unfortunately I suspect the main one is the use of the water bath method (and also I don't think 1 hour of cooking time will have been long enough).

But don't worry we can still save the situation!

The thread has gotten quite long now, so some of the later 'troubleshooting' posts aren't easy to find, but we've been trying to discourage people from using a water based double broiling technique unless they're very experienced in using them, and understand how to avoid the risk of 'under-cooking'.

I'm comfortable with recommending gas mark 1 as the setting (275 Degrees F) as long as people are aware that if their oven is old (or unreliable) it may get too hot (i.e. above the point when THC starts to evaporate). Even then to be honest a few degrees over probably isn't going to do any noticeable harm. You'll probably be able to spot if its too hot from the increasing 'weed' smell.
It's important to remember that getting the temperature over 80 C is essential (whilst not exceeding 140 C).

(Roughly speaking the required range is between: 80 and 140 degrees Centigrade, or 175 and 285 Fahrenheit).
If you haven't taken the remaining caps, I'd scrape out the contents into an egg cup and re-heat in the oven for another hour (maybe an hour and a half if your oven isn't running too hot) at the higher temperature, then repack once cool.
Hopefully this will get the oil hot enough for the THC in the resin heads to dissolve into the oil.
Good luck.
