The Definitive Green Dragon (Revised, Updated, Combined)

[dragonrider]

Yes, I can assure you that I've followed the directions as closely as I can - can you be more specific with where you think I'm going wrong?

I have an oven thermometer - the over temperature is 180F. The cannabis is grinded into a powder, so I suppose there's a large SA:V ratio, but nothing so significant as to account for the quick burning.

Having read this thread in some detail, it seems very important that the baking stage is followed to the letter, but I'm loath to lose any more bud.

Unless someone can offer some helpful (i.e. not you Max) advice, I'll try a final time, ignoring the length the bud is in the oven, but concentrating more on the release of vapours and just taking the stuff out as soon as it starts to brown.

I am still curious as to how/why it's going brown so quickly.

I think it would be almost impossible to actualy "toast" the bud at 180F. I cook mine for 200F for 20 mins, and it does not really appear browned or burnt in any way --- it does get drier and loose some of its green color, but not much. So it sounds like your oven is too hot.

Do you have a separate oven thermometer that is not the built-in thermostat? Sometimes the thermostat can go bad, and it will say the oven is being held at a particular temp (say 180F), but it is actually much higher or lower. So you might want to put a sepaate oven thermometer in there to verify that the thermostat is working properly.

The other possibility is that the oven is still pre-heating when you put in the bud, and it is getting hot spots as it heats up. The burner elements get extremeley hot as the oven heats up, so the oven may read 180F, but next to an element it may be much much higher. Make sure to set the temp, turn on the oven, and let the oven pre-heat for 10 -15 minutes so that it gets up to an even temperature. Then put in your bud.

Those are my suggestions. Good luck!

Mine worked perfectly! I ground up the bud in a food processor, PREHEATED the oven with the cookie sheet in the oven, then after about 15 min of preheating I places the stash on the sheet. Closed the door set the timer ti 5 min and woolaa!

You can NOT hurt the thc unless you get hotter than 380 or something. It will NOT vap off at 325! When I tryed this at lower temps it did not work for me! I got a bunch of buddies now that want MORE GD!!!!!!!!!!:jointsmile:

Fred, if your avatar is any indication, you could just decarboxylize using your own farts. Can you keep that up for 5 minutes?

Next time I make GD, I'm going to try the 325F for 5 minutes. Master Wu said he thought that was better than the 200F for 20 that I was using. My method worked pretty well for me, but I want to try the other way too.

Glad to hear your GD was a success!

Ha ha! Glad you enjoyed the recipe. I thought it was a bit more drinkable that way too. And a beer chaser is definitely the way to go!

I also found that if you mix it with Creme de Menthe, the grassy flavor seems to just disappear into the mint --- so if you have a few people who still don't like the taste, that's one thing you could try.

I just went back to check your earlier posts. I had missed them the first time around. Did you end up with something like a gallon of green dragon? Woooohoooo! That plus a keg of beer and 50 of your closest friends --- we could send a whole colony to Mars!

I got 40 2 oz bottles out of it. Plus what me and the boys had already drank!:thumbsup:

I found that green dragon in orange juice gives the juice a spicy kinda taste and will have you feeling it much faster.


All my green dragon is gone


I have to get my hustle game back up so I can do more fun experaments with pot.

If you follow Master Wu Recipe yes its only 2 ounces, However if you follow Dragonrider and my recipe you will yield much more. You simply take Master wu s Recipe and make a double or triple or ????? whatever size batch you want to make. Its up to you... Just follow the procedure and you will be fine~!!!!!!!:stoned:
