So I've managed, over a year's growing to accumulate 75g of trim and 13.5g popcorn (crit-kush) ...

what did you expect @ one plant per grow?




The popcorn is @ 61% just incase I needed to smoke it.


As of now, I am going to do:

ratio:
2 cups Coconut Oil and 40g of herb...
I've smoked 95% of the past 20 years but never eaten 1 thing
Could I use 50g or all 75g of trim and keep the popcorn as "just in case"? (I'm about 2 months behind my growing to smoking ratio schedule)

oh and 1 tbsp. soy lecithin


decarb:
out in the garage with old toaster oven and temp-gun
250F for 30 min (both the MB manual and Skunk Pharm seem to agree on this temp/time)


temp:
"160F" as per MB instruction/recipe

time:
"1 hour oil" button... this is coconut OIL??
"2 hour butter" button?
why not 4... if I have the time... (while kid @ school)

straining:
I have the little (90) bag that comes with the MB machine and also a 5-gallon bubble-bag set (25,73,120,160,220)
Above all, "slow and steady wins the race", is what my gut is telling me.

cap filling:
???
I hadn't given this much thought but as I type I wonder just EXACTLY how I will achieve this






I temp gunned the empty tray so it would kick off @ 250F









I could only fit 50g (after bake) of leaf on the tray



2 cups coconut oil + 1 tsp soy lecithin + 50g sugar-leaf trim, about 12 minutes into a 2 hour cycle



Blender draw



Heater draw



2 hours and 12 minutes later
(the 2 hour cycle reset after I opened the lid for the shot above, about 12 minutes into the cycle)



90 bag that came with the Magical Butter machine

.


consistency of wet sand





without a mechanical press of some sort that's about all your going to get back
"lost" 1/4 cup



such a beautiful LIVING Green color!






the oil has a roasted nut/seed flavor, I like it.
I could spoon feed myself the entire batch like ice-cream but I best not

.

so far so good

I'm (as I type this) 3 and 1/2 hours into my first 4 cap buzz

very nice!



oh-my... (George Takei voice)
take a hit or two for a "nitrous" burst to your edible buzz

I've got about 125-130 caps out of about 1/2 cup of the oil...I ate some straight out of the jar this morning lol

I've heard others comment on the, shall we say, ease of using the bathroom once you start using the coconut oil caps. My one friend won't even use them anymore, because going to the bathroom became WAY to easy, lol.

Can't say I've noticed any new issues but I had/have colitis so I wouldn't know normal if it passed me a joint
I also just started taking fish oil (Umbra's posts)

Defiantly something to keep in mind (and awkwardly mention) as I hand out some caps to a few friends to try.

A.M. was the one who told me about it. I have mild IBS, so I never took any of them. Last thing I wanted was to deal with that, lol.
