im gonna be trying again tonight but i dk what to do differently this ttime to make it work

n e suggestions?

try more time and check your grind and temperature. Also you might eat some lethicin suplements they help the body to metabolize fat.Keep trying
STIMPY21

Make sure you're using good weed. Otherwise decrease the amount of oil you use. I used an 1/8 of shitty mids and therefore only used like 5 teaspoons of oil. Still I had to take more than 2 to feel something.

I think if do 275 degrees for 2 1/2 hrs of an 1/8 of nice headies and 6 teaspoons of oil you should be good (make sure the thing you cook it in doesn't absorb alot of heat). I used a ceramic egg cooker, kind of looked like a ceramic shot glass. Taking two of these should give you very noticeable effects and three should give you a solid high for 3-4 hours.

I can't say enough that I think different temps work for different people. Try an hour at 300F for those who have tried the lower temps with no (or a poor) results and then again at 325F.

ok well i just put in a batch at 275 again

u think i should raise n lower the temp while its cooking from 275 to 315

Don't know how much you are making but since you've tried 275F I'd try 300 for an hour just as a "next step" more than any specific reason. I've had pretty decent results at temps up to about 350F.

im gonna have to try that next time

but im feelin good about this batch

tmw ill let u know how they work

n if they dont ill then try it at about 325, how long only 1 hr cuz of the higher temp?

Yes, that's my thought.....I've cooked weed up to 350-375 and still gotten a good buzz......which is why I suggested it (based on an old recipe I used to use) but I've never cooked it for HOURS at a higher temp so I'd hesitate to tell you to do it for a long time and burn off all the good stuff.

ok this buddy of mine made some caps yesterday using peanut oil. he said they weren't very good. took the edge off, felt some physical effects, but nothing major. then he went out like a good soldier and got organic virgin coconut oil. tried again. using 2g powdered middies, 1.5-2tsp coconut oil. In a little ceramic dish in the crockpot for 2hrs 45mins on low, 10 mins on high (last little squeeze), 5 minutes sitting in crockpot in off position but with lid on. For a total of 3 hrs. Never checked temperatures cuz he can't be arsed to monitor temps all day.

Final result. 3 caps. he was Completely floored by the results. This is insane. He was very happy because as he stated, "i've taken my crap middies and made them into the dankest little capsules. "

He was amazed.

still no luck

i cant seem to get it

what could i be doing wrong ?

i do everything perfectly

i activate the nugs i grind it up to powder i add it when the oil reaches the right temp i keep it in for the right amount of time

Right on!

Tyco...you're just like Opie and Vilo...wish I knew what to tell you guys......

hi all,

i really think that the problems some are having with the capsules not working has more to do with metabolism then technique. i have noticed that i will get different results with capsules from the same batch and what seems to make the difference is the severity of my symptoms. anyway its just a tought.

sharon

It looks like you almost can't fail with proportions like that. I've been wondering what others think about their own dose per gram of material. I've been super fortunate to be able to get quality bud. After having made maybe a dozen "basic" batches (using the originally called-for 1.5g for bud, using ghee, sometimes using coconut oil--I really can't tell any difference), my rate seems to be around 4 to 5 doses per 1.5 grams of bud. In the limit I think this may prove to be about 3 doses per gram. Since the results of taking it this way lasts longer than smoking for me, I figure I'm using about the same amount of material either way. Sometimes I wonder if the oil method should be producing better results. We'll see.

Well I have to say I haven't really done the math but I can tell by the fact that I now have a LOT of weed sitting around despite the fact I lost that PowerPlant and only harvested approximatey 4 oz off my latest plant that I'm using MUCH less weed with this method. This grow came up short by about 8 oz........and I still have TONS of weed left over from the grow before that which is VERY unusual for the amount of ganja my hubby and I had been using.....up until I started using the caps regularly that is.

I know it works too since I woke up high the morning after the Keith Urban concert, which was a 4 capsule event.....

__________________

I just recently made a batch using the stove top method. Worked freakin great!!!! I used about 1.5 grams of high quality purples, and about 2 teaspoons of coconut oil, let em simmer for about 2.5 hours, ended up makin 20 caps. I took one last night at around 8:30, ate dinner at around 8:45, I had eaten a little before taking the cap. Nothing at all until around 12:30am. Then I was definitely noticing the tried and true effects of a mild ganja food onset. Actually the taste of them burping up was delicious!!! Anyway, I did a meditation and passsssed out until 2:30 am, I woke up completely stoned. Great body high, very relaxed, and I listened to my Ipod in bed for about an hour, just letting the music come alive. Thank you for this recipe, it is genius! I don't want to inhale all the toxins from smoking so this is perfect!!!

ok i was wondering
(ive made these twice now)
i love them
but could i maybe use a tad bit less ganja
and
put in sum ground up shroom?

ok so im determined on making these. i bought an ounce of mids to perfect my method n then im gonna use keif. this time im making 3 at 1 time n using the same amount of bud and oil in each (2 grams of shit bud n 5 grams of coconut oil)

i put them in at 275 degrees
after 2 hrs im turning the temp to 300 n taking batch 1 out 25 min after that
after 3 hrs im taking batch 2 out
at 3 hrs im turning temp to 350
at 3 and a half hrs im taking batch 3 out
then im going to test each batch separately

its 12:05 now and i put them in at 11 30
lets hope 1 of them works
