So 5g to 1cup of oil
So 5grams to 1cup of oil?
No:
5 grams oil to one gram cannabis.
212 grams oil to 42.5 grams cannabis.
Here's my method:
1) Put coconut oil and cannabis Into crockpot
2) Fill the rest of the way with drinking water
3) Process on lowest setting for 5-6 hours (often go 12 hours)
.
4) Run through strainer collecting oil/water solution.
5) Strain oil out of cannabis (a large portion of your oil will stick to the cannabis. You want to squeeze as much out as possible.)
6) Put oil/water solution into the fridge in a flared container (I use a large 4L glass measuring cup)
7) The oil will separate out of the water (its hydrophobic) and will solidify into a puck at the top.
Remove this puck, placing it on paper towels - pat dry. The bottom of the puck will have a layer of plant material and "funk". It tastes nasty so I scrape it off and discard it.
If you did a good job in step 5 you should have 90% or more of your initial oil weight.
I no longer process this way as I've switched to drysift/tumbled hash or "bubble hash" as my starting material.
