This jar smells amazing
I can already tell this is gonna be some great medicine despite using the 151 instead of the 190 @Ottafish
230 update lol. Woke up to refill the crockpot with hot water. I figured it’d be easier to let it run through the night than let it cool and have to wait for it to restart.
I’m probably wicked wrong about that, but oh well
Morning OGs! Another hot water top off for the crock pot. We’re probably at about a 20% drop from where we started.
ewwwwwww I hate the smell. is it decarbed, looks to be?
I don’t know if you saw or not but I put an air pump in the jar to push more air through for reducing. I think it fldef helped mine speed it up
Yeah, it was decarbed lol. All I smell is herbage lol
I thought about doing something like that, but decided to do it like this. It’s working well enough at the moment lol
Obviously personal pref but ugh I can’t stand the smell haha, taste is even worse. I’d prob yak if I took a mouth full of that. shoot even the RSO I made, made me gag ha. Definitely watching along cuz I’m only a noob, and Feco sounds nice.
It’s only my first time, and I’m worried I did something wrong lmao. I’m waiting for it to get all sticky and gloopy and then I think I’ll be happy.
Need to source a small amount of MCT oil before too long
I think I got a half a liter of MCT at Walmart for 13 bucks. anywhere like GNC or workout supplement stores have it but it’s more expensive.
I haven’t tried without sunflower lecithin yet but hear that’s a good additive for emulsion
All that beautiful amber-green goodness at the bottom
What is your planned dilution rate with MCT?
Absolutely no idea. Any suggestions?
I was thinking about waiting until after testing before diluting, so I can do some stoner math to figure out how much to add.
At this point I’m surprised it’s working.
I have a few suggestions. If you’re trying to make it high concentration and just enough oil to suspend it then I would recommend getting your liquid into a smaller container ASAP. It will be sticking fairly well to the bottom of the jar so I use the small kitchen squeegee spatula to scrape it off of the bottom before pouring it into small. After doing so my impatience also had me pour the brown liquid into a saucer or bowl with a fan on it, after it settles again from the container swap. meanwhile you can further dry out the good stuff and then get your solution going.
Sunflower lecithin from my reading would also be recommended as it helps with emulsion with the fats and aids in the bioavailability of the product to the body.
Edit to add: I don’t know if heat during emulsification does any good but I did mine at room temperature believing that it would mix better hot. and could separate some as it cooled.
I have some soy lecithin powder from the gummy attempts. How can I use it without it clumping up, and when would be best?
I think heat helps, but I’m not certain.
I’ll swap to a smaller container here soon.
Unfortunately my lecithin is liquid like a thick honey so I wouldn’t know on the powder.
I need a scientist!
I’m thinking mix it with the MCT oil before diluting. So I can smooth any clumps out, without wasting that precious oil.
