I like that gray wolf. good stuff. 1-1/2 hours in... not feeling anything yet. Put a failed batch in my hot oil bath and when it reached the proper temperature it did not bubble at all, so I know I overcooked that batch. Perhaps I undercooked this one. It WAS still making bubbles, but it said to stop when the bubbles slowed down, so.... it was about 20 minutes and mostly around 245 degrees. Maybe in a half hour I'll have better news to report. However, I have enough information here to resume this "learn it the hard way" experiment next month when I can buy more weed!

Damn. Well there it is. Two hours. Nothing. Guess I'll try putting the rest in the hot oil bath and waiting until more bubbles are gone. Hey! At least I know whether it is overdone or underdone now!

Have you smoked today? I found early on in my experiments with edibles that if I smoked before I ate them I didn't notice the edibles at all because I was already higher to start from smoking. Unless I ate a huge amount I could only feel the edibles if I had a clear head to begin with. Or if I ate a huge amount it would hit me like a ton of bricks and I'd need to take a nap.

I had another idea, have you tried to see if these edibles work on other people? do you have edibles that you've taken that work? Some people are impervious to edibles, was just thinking to check this off
if the edibles work on others it means you are decarbing correctly, and it's something to do with your body and how you process them

no, Thundercat, I try to get a clean baseline every time I bioassay something.

Just figured I’d through it out there it was something I didn’t think of at first myself.

Here's my SHIT gettin' ready to dry on a plate for a test. Hopefully tomorrow, on the shuttle back from my family therapy visit in "Burque" I will be getting blazed and having fun blithering like an idiot to the driver for three and a half hours. (New Mexico's a big state).
How's the color? Looks good to me!

Okay here's my idea for the next attempt-- everclear from the frezzer, shake it up with finely ground cannabis, strain and repeat with a second wash. Put this in a Manson jar, and put that in a hot oil bath using the crock pot on low. Attend carefully with good ventilation. stir with wooden spoon and watch for bubbles. Remove from heat when bubbles are done. Should be a fully infused, decarbed tincture. The chick at the dispensary showed me a pretty affordable edible concentrate, but I think it would still end up costing me substantially more.
Thundercat, am I right that I should see bubbles? Anyone else? Do you think it will work? Pretty sure the crock pot hits about 225 on low and stays with oil in the basin. Heat range on RSO recipies has it from 210-230 so that should be a safe temperature to run at until decarb is (visually?) complete.
I really love to experiment, but it's a bummer failing with enough weed to get me stoned every day, whenever I felt like a nice dose, for probably two weeks. Very different than from extracting alkaoids from Esfand, which is an invasive weed in the desert out here. I have cacti galore to do alcohol extractions with.

I don’t have any answers but you keep saying it failed
What exactly does failed mean?

means I ate a half gram of weed on an empty stomach and felt absolutely nothing after two hours. I smoke that much weed and I'm blazed. In other words nothing I've tried that is supposed to work, worked.

yep that should work just fine for you. It’s basically the same process as rso just leaving enough alcohol to keep it a tincture for usage.

for some reason when I put the Manson jar (and I made sure to warm the glass jar with boiling water and wipe it dry so the glass would not break) in the hot oil bath, the whole thing dropped from 230 degrees to 215. I figured it might need to go a very long timeat such a low temp. I checked it every ten minutes after I was sure the temperature was stable.
After an hour it was still bubbling, but when I stirred it the bubbles dissapeared and it not come back, so I quickly shit it off.
Perhaps the times and temperatures for decarbing in ethanol are lower and quicker than for air temperatures in an oven. IDK. The one worry I have about this batch is it kept bubbling until I stirred it and probably would have gone on looking like it still needed to decarb. I'm going to test this one in the shuttle home from Burque.

lol bro making edibles is easy but your doing it the hard way lol. make all your flower into bho than decarb the bho in oven at low temp for like 20 min after its decarbed make edibles with that. its easyer and makes more potent stuff vs flower.
