*Gummies~ using Northern Lights Flower

First Batch
11g off my homegrown waterfarm Northern Lights
Cured for a month.

grind and the decarb for 25 min at 250 degrees


After that add 1/2 teaspoon (or 2.5 mls)
Of sunflower Liquid lecithin and 1/4 cup melted Coconut Oil.
I used a Pyrex measuring cup with tinfoil as a cover . Putting that into a water bath (used the metal bowl for the bath that I decarbed the ganja in) and Placed back in the oven still at 250 degrees and cook for 2 hours.
take out and stir after an hour into it.


To be continued.......

After 2 hours in the oven at 250 degrees I poured the THC infused oil through cheesecloth and a strainer and squeezed out close to 1/4 cup.

Next, in a small saucepan, I put
3/4 cup r/o water on Medium high on the burner and added two .25 oz packs unflavored gelatin for a total of 1/2 oz.
Start stirring and don’t stop.
Add the Jello. I used approximately .3 oz of a 6. oz sugar free Cherry flavor. Bring to boil
Whisk.....

Spray the gummie molds with cooking spray so the gummies won’t stick inside the mold.
Keep on med high heat for 5 min and then start to use the dropper and slowly suck up the hot mixture into the individual gummies in the mold.

It helps if you have someone stir the mix while you make the gummies.

Why do you decarb it twice? Not being critical just curious if it is necessary. Thank you, Looks like a great recipe.

Into the fridge for an hour.

Using a tch dose calculator I figured I could make 106 gummies @14 mg each strength .
But...
The end result is actually 53 gummies. So that should be 28 mg each .

So next time if I want to make 106 gummies @ 14 mg strength I will need to add 1/2 cup coconut oil and 3/4 cup water.

Things I would also do differently.
Use a non-stick pan .
The very last bit of the mixture was not well blended and had quite a bit of separation so my last three gummies on the mold should be Discarded.

I only decarbed it once 25 min at 250 degrees. Then I mixed it with the coconut oil and sunflower lecithin.

This is actually decarbing 2 times. This is what has confused me. It looks like you could start with the step where you add the oil and lecithin.

"grind and the decarb for 25 min at 250 degrees"

"Placed back in the oven still at 250 degrees and cook for 2 hours"

Ok, thanks.

How long of a shelf life do you get? I see some people add a mold inhibitor also.

I don’t know . This is my first time making gummies. I have a lot to learn. I am going to keep these in the fridge after 2-3 days room temperature in an air tight glass container.

They popped out of the mold great but the jello separated from the oil .
It might be because I used a generic brand unflavored gelatin or because the jello was sugar free. I am going to change both of those next time. I also need to somehow mix the oil and water much better I guess.

I might use this squeeze bottle next time as well.

Theyll last months in the freezer. I would put them directly in the fridge and skip the airtight container at room temp. The only time I had issues with mold was while they were in a sandwich bag, at room temp during Summer.

Nice job man even if they are funky did you try them? How did it taste? Still get you blasted right?

Tastes amazing and very potent. I was tripping and had intense mental fragmentation . Hit me like a hammer and complete rocked my world.
Such a clean natural buzz. Got
Me tripping for 4 hours.

A bit too strong , so next batch I’m cutting the dose in half . And my decarb method im going to change to 240 degrees at 45 minutes although this last one worked a charm. I ordered an oven temperature gauge to make sure I’m hitting 240 degrees and no more.

I have to also stir on low for as long as possible without it drying up . 10- 15 minutes instead of the 5-7 in this batch.

I did a lot of reading after this and made a batch of oil in a distiller to check potency without decarbing first. I reverse my opinion and agree with you to decarb the weed 240 for 40 minutes before creating the oil. It does decarb in the process but only about 35% effective activating the THC and CBD. By the way I think the gummies look awesome

One other thing I learned was to add the sunflower lecithin in while stirring the jello and infused oil together. Not before the 2 hour infusion. This I believe will help with the binding process better.

I also found adding 1/4 tsp citric acid will lengthen the shelf life and if you shake in a bag, the gummies, with a pinch of corn starch they won't be sticky.

This is a very helpful thread. I didn't think I'd ever get on board with edibles after having a really bad experience with them but I love the idea of micro doses for myself and loved ones.
I have some slabs of BHO I'd like to use. I don't do enough dabs to justify keepings so much and I've already traded a 20gr slab for a pair of cross country skis (like I need another pair, lol). Edibles just seems like the way to go.
I want to use infused butter for caramels and the BHO for gummies.

I've gotta do some more research but just seeing the pics here inspires me to get off my butt and get it done already.
@CoB_nUt posted some cool pics of edibles awhile back too. I think there was a recipe for sour gummies coated with coarse sugar. They looked cool AF.
And @BigHornBuds posted a recipe with orange juice?
But Metas caramel post sold me on the idea.

This process makes me feel like a newb again

@Tangerine_ I did post some gummies and a recipe I think.I can't recall what thread it was in tho lol. Could be Chuckers. Citric acid was used for the sour gummies.Baking isle @WALLY World,granular not powdered.
Dr. A.T. has a nice technique & recipe here. The one I use is a bit more specific with temps. I also use concentrate now instead of flower. I can dose/titrate better knowing how much goodness I'm working with.

Citric acid
