Help with FECO dose

Can anyone tell me how to determine dosing for FECO gummies? For example let's say I have 28g @ 25% potency and made Green Dragon with 2 cups Everclear. Then cooked out the alcohol and came up with an amount of 20ml FECO. Now I wanted to make gummies with 10ml of that and lets say there are 50 gummies in the recipe. What would the potency of each gummy be?

Thanks,

Have you looked at the online edible calculators? They are not too hard to use. Has it been decarbed?

What’s nice about the calculators you can change the amounts to fit your needs.

Assuming you extracted all of the available cannabinoids you will have 7g, (28g pot x 0.25), of THC in your 20ml so using 10ml for your 50 gummies you are using half or 3.5g/3500mg THC /50 gummies or 70mg per gummy. Ought to kick some ass. :)

OK, now I understand what you’re after. First, for home growers it’s difficult to really know the percentage of THC. FECO contains just about everything from the plant that you can wash out with Everclear. That doesn’t make the THC itself weaker but it could reduce the overall %age.
I use quick wash so even if I happen to tell you right our %age would be different. Even just trying to to extract the oil only about 70% is THC. (Anyhow that’s what some processors told me.) Based on your final THC % you can divide the oil by the number of cookies for for %.

So now we are working with different product.

I've got lots of pot stashed away to make into oils both CBD and THC to make edibles with. Rather than screw around with rough estimates I'll be sending a sample of each off to a lab to get real numbers to work with. $60 each for just the potency testing but I'll have at least 100g of each so worth getting it done. Bit much for what you get of a single oz.

No one around here smokes and we actually do use this for medical. That doesn’t mean we don’t enjoy our meds…often and a lot. I DO test every batch as I make edibles, like 1 cookie, 2 cookies, 3 cook…. Now, here’s the that works. Let’s say infused coconut oil. I use one once of bud to one cup oil. All my recipes are based on one teaspoon per serving. From what I’ve seen and talking to other people AVERAGE pot will be within a few %, probably about as close as you can estimate.
I could never figure out how to find of different % EC and oil so if I really need to know I dry, weigh it, and put the alcohol back in.
BTW, I don’t use alcohol tincture for anything oral. I use MCT. No smell, taste, or burn.

The wife and I both have a doctor's medical for pot and she never smokes it tho I like little hits in my pipe for immediate effect.

I use about the same amount of pot to oil as you do. 10g of carrier oil, (MCT, coconut), to 1g of bud or a 10:1 ratio and a tsp of the THC one would get me pretty buzzed. I give a few friends edibles and the infused oils were a PITA for them so now getting into making gummies and/or chocolates and would like to have the lab results to be able to make blends at specific amounts for better dosing info.

Not to be a debbie downer but please start your own thread... Every time somebody replies I keep getting a notification and it's not even on the subject that I asked, it would be different if it pertained to the subject title.

Thanks

Wow, that must be really inconvenient for you.

Here's an easy way to dose fairly accurately. This is sleep med i make for two women, 1 oz decarbed indica (Big Bud if available), infused into 2 cups MCT. Easy to control the dosage with a dropper. Both take half a dropper and sleep. Gummys are also perfect for dosing. I have two molds that make 40 1/2 inch balls (from Amazon). 1/2 balls are almost exactly 1 teaspoon. We started making two different flavors (colors) so not to get doses mixed up.

I've been dosing with the go slow and move up method but would like to put more exact numbers on my doses for when I give them out. I bought 2 silicon molds that have CBD on one and THC on the other so accidents are reduced and hopefully eliminated. Each does 192 - 4ml squares. Takes 768ml to fill them all. The last of my ingredients just came in from amazon so just need to make the oil and get it tested. Made one CBD batch with Belgium chocolate.

What molds are you guys using from Amazon that are 1tsp, Im trying to get dosing close as well.

Thanks,
I'll look up which round molds I bought. They are probably in the reorder list, I'll look. They were just 1/2 inch balls.
I didn't have any luck with the chocolate molds. That was me. I couldn't fill fast enough.
Cookies are good to fairly be consistent but they would would have be the same. That's what I use, but I'm not sure it would be a fit for you.

My apogees to everyone, I have no idea what I was thinking I thought someone chimed in with a different question on my thread when it was my fault I had another thread open on another tab. Wow I feel like a douche now! :(

I received THESE MOLDS from Amazon today they are 1 tsp each and there are 3@24.

I finished making a batch of green dragon and tested it with a tcheck and it came out as 11.2, tomorrow I will cook the alcohol out and see what ML I come up with to make my gummies.

Anyone have a good recipe for gummies? The one I have is pretty good, just wanted to try another one that would kill the cannabis flavor a little better :)

I do believe you'll like those. They look easier to fill than mine. I didn't do well with the chololate bars. If you remember the pancake from the movie "Uncle Buck" that's what the candy looked like, lol.

Some people like to use capsuls. You could use eighter RSO or infused oil, or anything else. I don't use it that way it's hard for me to swallow but about a year and a half ago Luck Luke was the person to talk to about that. If you are interested in that I'd call him in.

Sure would like to have (a messered dose) some green iceceam, with some chololate suryp from a candy bar that didn't set up, to go along with my oatmeal coookieee. My point here is that you can keep verious little bits of stuff left over from something else to really blow people away with goodies as long as you are consistaint in strenght to use a known amount, like one teaspoon, or whatever, of all of it combined. You don't want your friends turning green.

I purchased THESE CAPSULS previously and they get really soggy and as soon as you put in your mouth they deuterate before swallowing. Now this is after the FECO has sat in the pill for a day or two at room temp. I put .5ml in and they are crazy good but I think they are not the correct ones for FECO?

Sorry, I don't know one thing for sure about caps and I don't want to pass on bad info. That's why I suggested Lucky Luke. Not sure, but I think from reading his replys, he is following wakeandbake.co. That's .co not .com. It's one of the better places for doses, recipes, and just good info from a professional.
