What I'm trying to find out is this: My home grow last harvest averaged 12% THC, and I have found the resulting "R.S.oil" too weak, requiring too much to have to be ingested to be comfortable. (tastes like mixing water into your ash tray) YUK, and I have needed a "mouthful" to get a therapeutic "medical" dose. (translingualy) Having to hold a mouthful of wet ash without swallowing is the equivalent of self flagellation of the oral kind. I am currently re-using my stock of "green dragon" over fresh new batches of flowers adding only that amount of alcohol needed to compensate for evaporation loss. My current batch of about two pints of reduced 151 rum has been run over 3 batches of decarbed flower at two ounces per batch. So my two pints have now been exposed to 6 ounces of 12% weed. Anyone have a way of calculating the strength of RSO short of a lab? I'm sure each "amplification" does not double the THC, I'm sure there is some loss, but I really need to make something that a "grain of rice" amount will contain about 150mg THC which is an average dose for me. These are based on REDUCED values for RSO, not the beginning green dragon of course. I use a Magic Butter machine, but have made my own stirring paddle, replacing the stock blade with a short "L" bracket bent straight with a sledge hammer and vice. This custom "paddle" doesn't liquidate the pot into micro pieces making my old batches too thick with plant leftovers which I'm sure also contributed to the lousy taste. MB should make an alternate stirring paddle for tincture use. One blade does not fit all circumstances. (NOR DOES ONE SPEED MB IF YOUR LISTENING). i'm also trying this "enriching" method with MCT and will report back. Anyone else try "enriching" in this manner?
