I am planning on trying this in a couple of days depending when the pills get here. I just want to get a few things strait. I was planning on using a candy thermometer and keeping the temp between 200f and 230f for around 2-3 hours that sound about right? Also should I "activate" my bud before hand by putting it in the oven and if so what temp and how long.

I also wanted to say thanks to all contributing parties hopefully by your sacrifices I wont loose any bud and can make some killer edibles.
