I bet those folks at the VA are going to be thrilled with all the goodness you'll be delivering! If you need any instructions on getting the most out of it, post questions here as a lot of folks (myself included) have been using the Magic Butter Machine for years.

Toss the instructions and ask the 420 hive mind!

Ahoy @InTheShed , and the hive mind
Last night I had to stop myself from buying out Amazon. This was mostly because I don't really know what I need. I did order gummy molds, and some powdered lecitin.

I envision wanting to make soft and hard candy, but also too fill capsules at close to identical doses.
Can you help me with a shopping list of needs? I can't afford to get ripped off buying stuff I don't need or is no good.
Thanks bro :love:

Yep there is no doubt about it, women are just as capable at flying high as men but I'm not sure I'd want to let either of them loose on the controls when they're like that. :rofl:

It's the Liquid Sunflower Lecithin you want rather than the powder, so send that one back! Always good to ask before you press the Buy button. :cheesygrinsmiley:

For those who can take still swallow capsules (my dad couldn't in his later years) it's a hell of a lot easier than doing edibles or gummies. If they like gummies you can stop by the grocery store and pick some up on the way there. ;)

[Capsules come in different sizes which will obviously change the dosing per capsules. More on dosing below.]

On the other hand, for the folks who can't swallow capsules, gummies and hard candies are the way to go. The oil coming out of the MB is the same either way, but then you make things with it! Cookies or brownies (on the other hand) get butter, which I make differently from extra virgin olive oil (EVOO).

@Carcass makes a lot of gummies so I'd like to call him here to give you his latest and greatest recipe. Hard candies are much more involved with more ingredients, and also tend to use extracted THC (rosin from a press, honey or shatter from ethanol extraction (QWET)) rather than the oil that comes out of a MB.

Just to get you started, here is a post that shows the basic gummy process (start halfway down where it says "On to the gummies...."

In terms of dosing, the oil comes out homogeneous so capsules will be spot on. Gummies are also pretty close to the same dose from one to the next (from the same mold), but brownies and cookies take a lot more effort to get the dosing the same. I know because I did it for a couple of years for my dad.

And while I'm talking about dosing, @Oldbear created a spreadsheet that allows you to calculate the strength of your oil if you have a good estimation of the THC content of the buds you're using. We almost always guess at that so everything is an estimate without testing.

Once you "know" the strength of your oil, sorting out the strength of your gummies is straight math.

I can PM you (or anyone else interested!) a link to the spreadsheet along with the basic instructions. Let me know if you're interested, or I can do the calculations for you.

Ask more questions...get more answers!

Ahoy @RetiredRN ,
Be sure when you start your journal that you shoot me a tag. A simple "Hello @Maritimer" would work. That will give us a place to work directly with your agenda. We look forward to watching your gardening skills bloom.
The garden's flowers will come later. :hookah:

Mrs Maritimer is rooting for you like a cheerleader. She thinks our membership is somehow geared for guys. I counter that there are several examples of great master gardener's that are indeed female. In fact, I believe that the same skill sets that make women statistically better aircraft pilots are readily applied to our craft. :love:

Hey Maritimer. I’m just started my journal, or at least I think I did. I tagged you, Stone Otter and Emilya if I did it correctly. I’m still trying to figure the forum out. I’m not great with stuff like that cause I’m old school. I’m glad Mrs. Maritimer is cheering me on. I have a medical grade cannabis gummy recipe I can text you if you like. As soon as I get my harvest and its cured I’m going to be making some. I would like to get up your way this summer.

What about the science?
I explained how we are attempting to use the ABA, and at least they wanted too help.

"Dear Maritimer,
So sorry, we are not allowed to sell product to the individuals. It's a pity that we can't provide this product for you. I apologize for the inconvenience we have caused you."

So we are forced again to break rules and laws while advancing cannabis research.
Nothing new there Aye :hookah:

It is expected, so fuckem and their rules.
 
Garden Update;
Day 9 of applied drought and all going as expected. note to self; the corner plant MUST be preloaded with string harness at key quad intersections, and looped loosely overhead. You will not be able to do this when the other plants are moved around her. least wise I can't. Downstairs I have a gorgeous Northern on day 9 of drought and the cola's are overcoming branchial turgidness. Leaning over bad. Because I failed her.

Oh well
Won't happen again.
I will grab some day 10 shots tomorrow and a possible rescue of the corner plant. She has done a great job.
The entire crew is rezinating and we are excited watching it happen. The three plants on the west end of this room configuration get the best light and it always means bigger plants with bigger yields. We expect all three this run to be over 25% rosin return @ 62%. If you make a gram puck you can expect a quarter gram of fresh rosin. As for when we get around to smoking these cured flowers we expect them to be show stoppers indeed. I will shut up and let the camera talk tomorrow.
 
That's a beautiful plant, sideways or not!

Sorry it took so long to get here, I didn't see the alert- @InTheShed pm'd me about it a few minutes ago..
This is the recipe I've been using, it's real easy- once you get the process down, you can make a batch of gummies in about 15 minutes (not including the half hour in the freezer)

My Recipe:

So now you've got the oil,and you want to make some gummies...here's how I do it...
You'll need:
1 pkg sugar free jello mix (0.6 oz size)
1pkg regular (with sugar) jello mix (3 oz size)
2 packets plain gelatin
1/4 cup light corn syrup
* 1/4 cup water <------ you can substitute your favorite liqueur for the water,or the corn syrup, for a little less "sweetness"
*1/2 cup infused oil (I infuse 1oz. mj per cup of oil)
* I use refined coconut oil (solid at room temp, no coconut taste)but Grapeseed or olive oil
will work too, but the gummies might be a bit "greasy".

Put all the dry ingredients in a pan, add the water and corn syrup.

Heat it on medium heat,stirring constantly,till it just starts to boil around the edges.

All the powdered stuff should be well dissolved before adding the oil...<--- Important!!

Add the oil and keep stirring till it just starts to boil again,then remove from the heat.

At this point,you're gonna say "this shit aint working-the oil is just floating on top"

So... to remedy this, you keep stirring while the mixture cools just a little- as it cools it will thicken up a bit,
and the oil will start to mix in- this is what you want.
Once all the oil is mixed in, it's time to make some gummies...

Now, you need to hurry just a little so it doesn't set up before you get it into the molds.

Pour the mix into a squirt bottle (put a glove on,it's hot) , fill your gummy molds,and stick them in the freezer.(1/2 hour)

There will be some of the mixture stuck in the squirt bottle and in the pan- you can either just wash it out, or you can eat it for a nice buzz- just don't eat too much-it's easy to end up "too high" if you're not careful.

After they set up, pop them out of the molds into a tupperware container, or anything with a lid that seals.

You can store them at room temp,but they get a little oily above 78f ,so I keep them in the freezer.

and there ya go!

*Strawberry Banana jello does a real good job of (almost) hiding the cannabis taste.

So there ya go, @Maritimer - If you have any questions, tag me and I'll do my best to answer them!
Have fun!
 
Thanks carcass!

Thank you for the wonderful recipe and your explanation. I am preparing a shopping list for when the roads out here become passable again. I hit a 4 foot drift last night in the truck.
Your last words of advice I promise too adhere.
 
Ahoy There!
We are making our first batch of infused coconut oil tonight. Following @Carcass recipe I shuddered thinking what the dispensary would charge for two ounces of primo AK-47 flowers? In Illinois you can figure with taxes around $560 per ounce. And they can't touch my AK quality and potency but it would take over a Grand to make this oil. Thank goodness you folks taught me some gardening skills and I do not shop at the dispensary.

In the Magical Butter Machine now.
2 Oscars AK-47 flowers
2 cups organic refined coconut oil
2 tablespoons of sunflower lecithin.

Thanks again @InTheShed . You hooking me up with Carcass was just what the doctor hasn't been ordering. LOL
We gonna fix that tomorrow :love: .
 
Ahoy Commodore @Desormais,
How goes the crew you are going to utilize in your MeJA debut?
I am rooting you on whenever you are mission ready. :love:

Sweet! The first batch of many, I'm sure!
One thing for next time- Wait till the infusing is done, then the very last thing- drop the LS Lecithin in the machine and hit the "wash" button once to mix it in.
It's supposed to work a little better if you add it after infusing the oil -you can also just add it to the jar later on, but mixing it in then involves a lot more shaking up than I want to do...

Just popped these chewies out of the molds about 5 minutes ago- these are CBD gummies- I make them orange or lemon lime flavor so as not to get them mixed up with the strawberry-banana THC ones...
