Making edible capsules, round 2

[Oscarzuma]

A bitter cold morning, so I'm indoors cooking up some edible capsules. I'm following the recipe from my previous thread with some adjustments here and there.
I ground up 1/2 ounce of fresh OG Kush buds and have them decarbing at 220° for 34-40 minutes. I like to cook the oil in a small crackpot I use just for weed at low setting for three or four hours. I'm using MCT oil and 1/2tsp of lecithin.
Last try, I used 1/2 cup of oil and filled 127 caps and still had some oil left over. The size 0 caps I'm using have a volume of .68ml, so to fill 100, I need 68ml of oil which is about 1/3 cup. That's not a lot of oil to put the weed in, and my calculations at that volume are yielding a bit over 20 mg per cap. So, I'll use a bit more oil and fill more caps to keep the dosage down to Ms Zuma's preferred levels.

Oops, I may have made these a little too strong. Tried one last night and got very high. I came out with exactly 100 caps so my measurements worked out. I guess the weed I used was more potent than I calculated. I've been traveling and haven't eaten a gummy in two weeks. No MJ at all for that matter until Sunday, so I may have a reduced tolerance right now.
Looks like I'll be buying gummies at the store for Mrs. Zuma until I make another batch. She does like the 20x1 CBD ones the best and I haven't tried any CBD rich stuff yet.

Bootleg has some cdg zzz thats for people that want the plants medicinal properties without the high. I just planted some they all popped. They were freebies he sent me. He said it would elevate my edibles. We will see.

I have a local pal who's grown some hemp plants he's experimenting with. I have limited grow space and don't want to give it up for something without a pleasant high.

That's the only thing I don't like about edibles; There's a thin line between perfect and oh Lord, I'm under the bed again.

Kinda boring to me. All I can do is count dust bunnies and wait forever to come down.

Kind of like my experience with too much mushrooms.

The last batch of caps came out about perfect for potency for my purposes. My wife can handle one, two send me to a silly space. I made them with OG Kush from my outdoor crop. I want something more sativa like, so I bought a half zip of Truffle T from the dispo. 23% thc, so the potency should match. I smoked a dube of it, the buzz was fine but I don't care for the cheese taste in my weed. Capsules with it should be fine. I always prefer sativa gummies when I'm buying at the store. I should make them this weekend. Capsules are so easy to make, I'll never bother with making gummies.

The capsules works for me much better. Thanks for suggesting them. I mailed a few to see how the do. I put them in empty gum containers. We will see.

I knew it..... LOL. Probably why we get along so great. Me, I'm a pillow hugger. RSO is the only thing to achieve this goal lately.. some Black Gooey stuff in a syringe and on a THC cookie, about an inch long worm from the syringe and walla.... man was I high, laying on the bad hugging a pillow watching reruns of Homestead Rescue... HA.
Jan, I love the Beast Mode capsules and Ladybug loves the Maui Wowie.. still experimenting with the oil capsules, need to try them alone to really evaluate better. Doing nada today so maybe a few capsules are inline here soon.

Okay, I'm a big mofo, 290lbs and a high tolerance from smoking and probably narcotic pain pump I have...

2 capsules does me just fine.... know more later on today as I'm taking two at noonish for the first time.... lets see what it does to mt. peace

2 oil just hits me nice you may need 4 they are equivalent to taking 1 gummy IMO.

Never been there, and I've eaten an ungodly amount of mushrooms. I like the buzz. I let it take me where it wants to.

I made another batch yesterday. Bought some Truffle weed at the dispo because I wanted a sativa buzz from capsules and I don't have a pure sativa in the pantry. 1/2 ounce made 140 capsules. I got a pleasantly strong buzz after doing a tester last night. I have truffle, og kush, and gmo flavors now, something for all seasons. I had a pal try them out and he said the og was about the strength of his own homemade stuff. The math says they should be close to 20mg apiece, but add in my spillage/waste, 15-18mg is a more accurate guess.

I don’t know who told me about infused coffee. Damn best shit ever!
