Hey guys!
A little update on the glycerin vg.
I tried out two recipes I found online.
I took a bunch of pictures of the first one -
Badkats Cannapharm tincture
So! First you hafto decarb your weed. I gotta say, I've been cooking with cannabis for 10 years, and I've neeeeever done this.
This was trickier than I've thought, but I put the oven on 100*C (240*F) and cooked the shit out it for 1 hour.
After 30 minutes I took it out and smashed up any larger pieces so everything got an even burn.
Im not quite sure on how to do this perfect yet. Some say 30 minutes on 100*C and some say 240*C for 2 hours wrapped in tinnfoil. Some say the weed should be brown when it's done and some say it should be taken out exactly when it's starting to be brown. To be honest, I've haven't tried it yet do to it supposed to rest for 1-2 weeks do to bioavailability. But all of this can you read in the link.
Then I mixed in the (already warm - 100*C for 30 minutes) glycerin. It's veeery important that it's Food Grade glycerin. Just to be sure, I checked with the supplier. Wrapped it up in alufoil and had it in the oven for 3 hours, took it out, cooled it down and cooked it for 3 hours more (100*C).
Let it cool a little bit and ran it through a sive and a cheesecloth (of some kind
)
And there you have it
The rest is self explainatory (sort of) But everything is very well explained in the link.
I've bought the fancy little bottles with a spray to easy get the stuff in my mouth!
The recipe from BadKat says it should sit for two weeks. I've tried it out sublingual, and did not get any effect.
I used about 30 g of very nice trim and mininuggs on 10 oz. of glycerin. It should be more than enough to be potent as a motha. So Im just gonna wait it out for two weeks.
But the second method I used was supposed to be done in 3-4 hours. Ready for use. I took 10 g of the same trim and scaled it very much down on the glycerin.
I've tried it out today, but not in the E-Cigg. I hafto use up whats already in it first.
Tried this also sublingual, but nothing. Maybe a little bodybuzz, but it can be placebo.
Im gonna let it rest for about 2 weeks and we'll see
Hope my comments around the recipes made it a little easier for anyone who wants to try it out.
I found it very confusing at first, but enough reading and a little help (thanks DB) i think I got it right, but we'll wait and see.
At least if it works the way I want it to. If not, Im just gonna pour everything in a brownie batch and see what happens!
At last but not least - here is how the OG Kush looked yesterday
Starting week 4 of flower tomorrow
