I got some new candy molds so wanted to try them out with a batch of infused gummies. I know there's a bunch of good recipes here on 420mag, but I thought I'd share my process including the oil infusion.
Oil Infusion Ingredients:
2 oz refined coconut oil.
5.06 g of decarbed White Widow (an odd number indeed, but that's what it ended up weighing).
1/2 tsp liquid sunflower lecithin.
Assumptions & Calculations:
THC concentration for WW according to the breeder is 17%. I assumed a 95% decarb efficiency, so 16.2%. Then assumed 82% infusion efficiency for coconut oil, so 13.24%.
With 5.06 grams at 13.2% concentration I got 670 mg total THC for the batch. Divide that by the 2 oz to get 335 mg/oz. After straining the plant matter from the oil, I was left with 1.65 oz of infused oil, so multiply that with the 335 mg/oz and I got a
total THC content of 553 mg. While still warm I add the lecithin. I usually make the infused oil a day or two ahead of using it in edibles. This is both for convenience, and I've read that 24 hrs in the frig will help the mixture stabilize.
Gummy Ingredients & Recipe:
6 oz of Green Apple Jello.
2 packets of unflavored gelatin.
1/2 cup of water (118 ml).
1/4 cup of corn syrup (59 ml).
Infused oil (quantity differs from batch to batch, but in this case I used 1.65 oz).
Pour the unflavored gelatin into a small dish and add about half of the water. Mix and let stand a couple minutes - this is called "blooming the gelatin" and ensures a smooth texture in the finished product.
Pour the Jello (any flavor of your choosing) into a small sauce pan, add the corn syrup, the rest of the water, and the bloomed gelatin. Heat the mixture on med/low heat until everything is fully dissolved. Once the mixture just starts to bubble remove it from the heat.
Excessive heat is bad for gelatin as it starts to break down. Just need it hot enough to fully dissolve everything. Once off the heat, add the infused oil and wisk it in thoroughly. This could take a couple minutes to get everything emulsified. A wisk works better than a spoon.
Once everything is incorporated I pour the mixture into a squeeze bottle. The bottle will be very hot so wear an oven glove or hold the bottle with a towel.
Pour into molds and let sit in the refrigerator at least an hour. After that you can remove the gummies from the mold, arrange on a plate or cookie sheet the put back into the frig uncovered for about 24 hrs. This will help dry them out a bit so that they don't stick to each other so badly. I store them in the frig in a ziploc until I'm ready to consume.
Dose Calculation:
The entire jello mixture results in just about 300 ml. As mentioned above, the oil contained a total of 553 mg THC. So the mixture would be 1.8 mg/ml. The molds hold 2 ml each so
each gummy will be 3.6 mg THC.
, it comes naturally.
. I'm having my second crack at the Pink Kush 30:1 after the first turned into a stunted mutant lol. The new one looked just like yours when it stretched and flowered. So happy to see you doing another LPa, I was supposed to do another one or two this outdoor season but I think I'll save it for when I do my critical mass autos for the indoor fall run.
I've got the Pink Kush curing now, will probably give it a try in a week or two. I think I got maybe an ounce out of it. I guess some of my auto recently harvested are ready to be weighed now.
