So my coco oil is about to run out and I have a week or 2 before I am totally out. I like my A.M. edible to keep me relaxed during the day.
I am about to start a gummy run and I have some questions.
1) MB2 is asking NOT to chop the bud before decarbing it. This is not what I have read for a full decarb. I guess the extra heating that happens in the machine solidifies the decarb?
2) Do I need a syringe to suck up the reduced FECO? (RSO)
3) Will my molds hold all of my mixture? What happens if it don't?
4) Will the gummies stick together once stored?
5) ...I am licking everything clean! Kidding...kinda...
I know we have awesome members who have done this method so I searched and found our buddy
@Justin Goody knocking it out of the park!
Weird with the skinny Dr S, and I probably picked mine a little early because it just felt heavy and done. It’s great, but the next one I’m letting it finish until those trichomes are dark! And yeah if I run out, super easy to get CBD smoke now. I’ll bring you a few samples of things when I see...

Reading the MB2 recipe makes the whole process sound difficult but Justin breaks it down and makes it seem like success is easily achievable. Thank you for the spectacular write up.
1) The MB2 machine has a "chopping" element on the bottom of their machine and chopping the bud before placing in the machine may result in more plant matter getting through...maybe.
2) Justin scraped the mixture in to a funnel and applied to molds. He used oil which I feel is safer than using the reduced FECO. Perhaps the FECO needs to be sucked in to a syringe to minimize mess? Couldn't the reduced FECO go right in to the mixture?
3) I see that Justin had an extra form at the ready to accept the excess that didn't fit in the forms. I may need to line up another form of some sort to catch the excess. One of my concerns when buying the forms was to consider the overall volume that could be handled by the forms. Of course the "leaves" are huge and about $7 more than the rest. That is not my style.
So it was either worms or rings. I decided to go with the rings.
4) In the processes I have read "off site", they mention leaving the gummies out for a few days allowing them to dry out on the outside, so they don't stick together.
5) I watched the wife lick a spatula clean after making CBD FECO (full extraction cannabis oil) and she was out of it for a couple days.
...I ain't got that luxury. I will not be licking anything clean.
So at this point I just need to do this...
