How Can I Make A Potent Tincture From Flower, For Cooking Only?

what do you mean by tincture? Alcohol or glycerin tincture? and what do you wish to make with it?

Easy peasy :) You can find glycerin at any health food store. I usually get a 16 oz bottle, so that is the amount I will use for this. Since it isn't a whole lot of liquid, it would be better to use either good bud or hash (I used dry ice hash) instead of trim to save space.

Grind your material (1 oz buds) nice and fine, then add to a 1 quart mason jar and pour the glycerine over it. Seal with ring and lid and shake to mix well.

The slow way: Leave in a dark cabinet for about 6 weeks, taking out a couple times a day to shake furiously. After 6 weeks, pour through a fine mesh strainer (such as a permanent coffee filter, not paper) and voila! tincture

The faster way: Using a crock pot with a warm setting, add your ground material and glycerine. cover tightly and cook for at least 4 hours, up to 24. Strain as above and store.

**decarb your material first so you will 'feel' it: place ground material in oven safe dish and cover tightly with foil. Place in cold oven and set temp to 220f and timer for 20 mins. let cool then proceed with above directions.

For Rice Crispy Treats Or Gummies....Glycerin if possible
you can def use for those, but butter would be better for the crispy treats. if you will be making chocolate, don't use this tincture, use either butter or coconut oil. The glycerin will make your chocolate seize up.

I did the crockpot method actually, but i might of over done it with the heat considering i did it for 3-4 hours, but one LOW not warm, which is night and day difference with heat

very true...the low setting is usually too hot. But I have overheated before and it still works, just maybe not as well as it could have. Let us know how it works :)

skunk pharm recommends 293* for 7 mins for the optimum decarb potency. I prefer 290* for 7mins. I use bho/wax, bubble hash, keif, or qwiso oil for my baking needs. 1g of bho/wax, 1.5g of bubble, 1.5g of qwiso oil, 3g of keif per box recipe (1/4 stick of butter or 1/3 cup veg oil). always potent enough but not the 'knock you in the dirt too potent.
