Fresh Harvest Infused Cannabis Oil

[Bucudinkydow]

my brownies were from an assortment of strains, Northern lights ,Durban poison, Critical Jack,Pineapple express harvested slightly early, PM issues. I maxed out my MBM with bud and butter as I was out of coconut oil. I have a six pack box of Ghirardelli triple chocolate brownie mix, make that a three pack box now. I started bread yesterday and then a retarded raise in the frig overnight and cooked early this morning. Early afternoon was time for brownies and there is no choking these brownies down they are tasty. The wife and I walked up to the neighbors for dinner with their local steel-head salmon and my homemade porch wine.
My plants are reaching for the sky even after a second sulfur burn last night, second day in a row and they looking very happy. I was quite pleased the sulfur burn wasn't as messy as I expected, sure be glad when it stops my PM problem. What a great day!

Any chance you may try SweetSue's FHO process in that MBM with some of that new crop, Mr Dynamo? (I'm looking for a guinea pig please)

I've tried FHO in my MB2 and I suggest not trying this. Due to all the water still in the plant it will cause the top to blow off. The steam pressure is the problem you see and you will be left with a mess. CCO will be ok to make as the MB2 has a 220 setting and 4 hour setting so I feel like it would work great but I haven't tried as of yet.

 

[Bucudinkydow]

Thanx Mag7. I'll put that one to rest now.

 

[Lady G2HM]

I have been making fresh harvest oil for over 3 months in my MB2 and never had one problem. In fact, I am recommending it for fellow patients. I have it posted on my thread and other several threads. Please don't take one mistake as a rule not use it the MB2 for fresh harvest. That would be sad...maybe I can post my recipe? What doesn't work for one person doesn't mean it won't work for another.

I'm interested to know why mine had this problem then. I wasn't above the max line so my only other guess was the moisture/ steam pressure. I'm going to assume you've used the max possible in your MB and I also wonder if the designs are different. I haven't looked into that. I'm glad to know it works for you because I'd like to give it another try and now I can with only a little worry that it'll happen again.

Edit: I had read wrong, I see you have an MB2 as well. Maybe mine is not working properly or I didn't have the top on properly

 

[Lady G2HM]

Sorry Mag7 I just realized you had your temp setting at 220 for 4 hours, yikes, that is the problem there my friend. I'm glad you are safe bTW. I'm gonna post my recipe and please critique at your wish. I don't want you to think you still can't use your MB2.

*With my experience you are supposed to set it at 160F for 8 hours. Decarb first then put all your ingredients in.

Decarb & MB2 Oil Dosing Recipe - G2HM - 1.0 "Fresh Harvest MB2 OILzheimers Method" (Oct 19, 2017)
Why did I create this variation of this MB2 recipe?

There are so many purposeful recipe's out there, it's hard to choose which one is most beneficial to someone with a Neuro Degenerative Disease, and to the caregivers, whom need the easiest more efficient way to create oil.

You will hear people comment and add to my recipe, just remember, it's different when you have a broken brain, details are not so obvious, but terribly important. It's very hard for me to figure out scientific processes, so I did a step by step process that Brain Patients can do themselves without the scientific jargon that sometimes confuses me.

Also, this formula is for people who are starting oil for the first time. Some people like to double and triple plant material and that is up to the patient, just be mindful of your limits.

If you do have the money to get this machine, I highly recommend it for patients with disabilities. This will take the guess work and manual labour out of making oil. Please, if you're going to buy one, please pm me for a discount link or use ("gummybear") so you can save 25 dollars. Every cent matters, this will give you consistent results and you can even experiment, safely, without compromise.

----------------Your ingredient list--------------------

Fresh Harvest MB2 Oil — Feel free to mix your strains to address more than one medical condition.

1. 1-ounce BUD or 1.5-ounce of Trim & Leaves — The more bud you use the stronger the potency becomes.

*Please wash your plant material and hang to dry for 4 hours immediately after harvest, then place in a baggie for freezing.

*IMPORTANT - Try to keep as much as the Crystals in-tact because we need them for the oil. If you're too rough with your plant material it will lessen the potency. You may be accidentally washing your money down the drain so be nice to your buds.

2. 1 teaspoon

You know that Lecithin is used for "Lecithin is a fat that is essential in the cells of the body. It can be found in many foods, including soybeans and egg yolks. Lecithin is taken as a medicine and is also used in the manufacturing of medicines as a natural binder. Lecithin is also used for treating memory disorders such as dementia and Alzheimer's disease."

*Bet you didn't know that. Yet another brain aid to help with address Neuro Degenerative Diseases. Why don't they prescribe this to us in the medical field instead of prescribing brain meds that have deadly side effects? Rhetorical question, just wanted to prove that there are more brain benefits than we know in making healing medicinal oil.

3. 2 cups (500ml)

Organic Omega 3 enriched Organic, Extra Virgin, Olive Oil, to help keep my blood pressure down and start building brain cells at a faster rate than the brain degeneration. Ingredient directly medically recommended by doctors for Neuro Genesis. Doctors can't argue this. This has a savoury profile when completed.

ORRR

2 cups (500ml)

Organic Coconut Oil that is directly used for headaches, migraines, ALZ, FTD and Brain Cell Regeneration that Doctors recommend as well for overall mental health. This has a semi-sweet profile when completed.

4. Magical Butter Machine aka MB2e - 420 SPONSOR
(Comes with instructions and a brown outside box for stealth shipping)

Safety Gloves & Sanitary Handling
*All hands on deck!

----------------Let's Decarb First!--------------------


Decarboxylation for Dosing THC/CBD for EVOO/Coconut Oil

Comments:

*Use a cookie tray to spread your botanicals out as evenly as possible for consistency, all equal size. Line the tray with foil and place exactly in the middle of the oven, you may have to adjust your baking racks. HANDLE your meds the way you want to be treated, with respect and care. You need those crystals to make it into the oil, avoid heavy handling and wear gloves for sanitary reasons.

*I recommend (Decarb first, "230 F for 1hr & 10min"). If you are using minute amounts, please adjust the decarb time accordingly because you don't want to burn it. Keep in mind, eventually you want the oil to smother the herb to maximize your potency, which is what you want to experiment with until you reach your desired effects.

*To those of you using stalks, although they are totally usable, from my experience you may want to cut them down smaller so you get through the thick skin. Also, you don't want the stalks to cut through the cheesecloth when you strain your oil. Be careful, avoid using stalks if you don't have the right tools to do this safely. The less labour to make oil, the less chance of making a mistake.

*DECARB WARNING — no matter whether you cover your decarb tray in the oven, the smell will fill up your place moderately. Having windows open helps. Doing this at night when people are sleeping is what I do. There are toys out there that do the decarb for you like "Nova" and masks the smell but they are over your budget, nothing wrong with the oven, I use it. But it's good you know there are 420 cooking inventions to help people with disabilities like you and me to get the best bang for our buck.

*THE SMELL - There will a remarkable robust smell coming from the decarb almost like chestnuts when they are roasted, turns the herb into a full body aroma that is not mistakable. Like a properly roasted cup of coffee, the aroma grabs you by the nose and drool commences. You will smell it and it's devine. That is a great nasal way to know you've reached your desired decarb result. The smell travels from your botanicals to roasted herb and that process tells you your meds are ready for your oil.

*The decarbed botanicals do not become hot, they are warm to touch and that's it. But please wear oven gloves at all times, you already know that, but in case someone else is reading that hasn't done this process.

*When you take it out, let it cool on the counter, put foil on top if you're leaving it for a while, the tray will be hot so be careful. Do not put decarb into the fridge for this method. Leave decarb on the tray ready for use.

*Leaves and buds take different amounts of time to decarb, based on different shapes and density. Make sure your buds are no bigger than a thumb print, breaking it down by hand, do not grind, because you want the trichomes intact because of the healing terpenes it contains. Preferably, you end up with a crumble between your fingers thus allowing the oil to breakdown this material evenly. The oil is going to breakdown this plant matter even further.

*If you are making various butter and/or food sprinkle recipes, sometimes it calls for full emulsion where they grind the herb. Even though decarb processes rarely vary, the handling of the herb and the quality of your product will drastically impact your potency for concentrated cannabis oil. Butter you're going for flavor profiles so you don't have to handle with care. Dosing Oil you are going for potency profiles, in my personal opinion. Both are handling Cannabinoids & Flavonoids just in different carrier oils, but you need more terpenes to be intact for when you make dosing oil because of the pure medicinal value it carries.

* I don't have tons of money to be fiddling around with lighter doses. I just exercise micro dosing and problem solved, attack the pain not the wallet. This is where I feel the medical system does us a disservice. Pharma robs us patients blind with pain blockers that really might address the symptoms not the actual diagnosis and cause deadly side effects.

*I now grow individual plants for bud, and individual plants for oil. I prefer to use trim, popcorn bud and some primo bud. I like to use the whole plant instead of just part. But if you're only able to buy bud, you don't have a choice and it is the best. But as a grower, you can start looking ahead to harvest time and look forward to using most of your plant for oil.

*THC will address global pain. CBD will address global inflammation. Longer dosing schedules will have better results. BOTH TCH & CBD must be partners as they work together to address your symptoms. That's why it's good to get a strain that has a 1:1 ratio so you have enough of both compounds to feel better overall when you have more than one medical condition.

----------------Let's Make MB2 Dosing Oil Now--------------------

Comments:

Why do we need this recipe? When you purchase the MB2, the instructions are somewhat vague for whatever reasons. I had more questions than answers in the beginning, then my research revealed the best of all MB2 oil experiences by other growers. This is my condensed version of all the recipe's out there to create the potency we need to attack diseases and all medical conditions. I have tweaked it for brain maximum benefit.

*Get everything laid out on the counter.

* Add 2 cups of organic oil
(If you want to make less then use the stove — top method I recommend)

*Do not exceed Max Line

*Add 1 teaspoon of Lecithin

* Add Bud First - Add Trim and Leaves Last
* Make sure your plant material is covered by the oil and meets the "Min" line on the inside of this machine.

*Set your temperature to the middle button which says 160F.
*Set your time to 8 hours for full potency.
*If you hear your machine wizzin' and blendin' it's started.
*Rest and relax!

*Your finished medicine is very hot!

*Strain your oil carefully using the Love Glove.
*Squeeze out the goodness, it will be hot.

*Let oil cool down while you're cleaning up.
*Place covered oil in the refrigerator for 24hours.

*This is what my oil looked like after 24 hours of refrigeration.
*Feel free to strain your oil with cheesecloth to remove more plant material, but I'm all organic and welcome the plant material that made it through the initial strainer. All personal preference and purity.

*Keep refrigerated until ready to use.

----------------More to think about?----------------

How do you want to dose?
*Be responsible, exercise micro-dosing in the beginning and track your progress.
*It can be too strong for people who have not tried THC yet.
*Start with drops first, then to 5 drops = 1ml>2ml>3ml>4ml>5ml, low and slow.
*Dark Amber bottles with droppers (with oral syringe/funnel )
ORRR
*Cannacaps with tray and Pipette?
*I will be updating this recipe over time with new recipes and discoveries.
And
*Use at your own risk, this is purely for medicinal purposes only.
*DISCLAIMER - You could suddenly become healthy and feel better every day.

No I don't think your MB2 is broken, you just need to set it lower temp for long hours, or short hours at high temps. This is a great discussion BTW, I didn't even know an MB2 could blow up. I'm gonna add that disclaimer to my recipe. Your experience could prevent future accidents for new users.

I just realized you had your temp setting at 220 for 4 hours. The only time you would use 220F with an MB2 is for a one hour tincture they write about in their recipe book, which I have not made. If you look at my pictures of the kettle after it's finished you can see where the infusion line is. Pretty close to the top nonetheless.

But using 160F at 8 hours is the holy grail and hopefully you'll give my recipe a go to prove to yourself that you're on the right track, just need to adjust temp and time.

Ha yeah, it caught me off guard. I was on the back patio when I heard it; loud pop fizzle sound. When I came in the oil had boiled over the top as the pic shows. The top was still on but it been pushed up and the seal broken. Blown off may have been a little dramatic ; my apologies. It wouldn't have been so bad but the oil I was using was a previous batch of oil already made. I was experimenting with potency and adding too. I though I had thought it all out buuuuuut now when I look back on it can see that I hadn't.

Thank you for your recipe, I will be using that for now on. I am wanting to be at a potency we're in only take one #3 capsule. Right now I'm at two "00" maybe two to three times a day.

I have question maybe you can answer. When making capsules what is the recommended process. I seem to get times when my does works perfect and then non at all. Does shaking or stirring do harm or is it needed before filling capsules or dosing? It has boggled my mind. Ohhh and does does with or without food make a difference? I have noticed that if I does and eat that I will be more effected than if I don't. Does anyone's else noticed this as well. I've had one person tell me so.

*No apologies needed, your pic was proof of this accident and I just wanted to help you. The same thing could've happened to me and that is pretty scary, I actually learned a good lesson here without getting hurt.

*You were on the right track. In fact, my recipe is a variation of the MB2 recommendations. It's not even their exact recipe, it's more SweetSue's guidance that helped me figure out what works for me, then I translated that into a low and slow method using the MB2.

Thank you for your recipe, I will be using that for now on. I am wanting to be at a potency we’re in only take one #3 capsule. Right now I’m at two “00” maybe two to three times a day.

*all based on your strain and fresh harvest material bud vs trim. Bud is primo and using trim is resourceful but less potent. Potency will be based on all variations.

I have question maybe you can answer. When making capsules what is the recommended process. I seem to get times when my does works perfect and then non at all.

*I make it a habit of mine not to speak on methods I haven't tried personally, so I have to defer your capsules questions to SweetSue or the Fresh Harvest Crew here. But I'm gonna do capsules one day for sure. In fact, I want to do it all...

*Great question about taking oil with food. I take my oil with a green juice recipe I made up using canna leaves. Like a dose of superfoods to start my day as well. I take my oil with a dropper so it's hard for me to advise on food absorbtion. Perhaps SweetSue & the gang can speak about this.

*BTW I love this thread, I have been following it and love hearing about the feedback on your fresh harvest oil discoveries.

On the cooking front (not just weed-related), I'm always out to do more with less.

I followed the basic process here, using about an oz. of semi-dried frost leaves from this season's trim, which I decarbed (230F for 45 min).

Put in cast iron dutch oven w/ enough olive oil to cover (I seldom measure anything). Gave it a blend & then:

Put it in the oven set at 190F. My oven's pretty accurate, but I spot checked the ambient temp+that of the oil, both were always nearly 190F. Let it go for two hours.

Skipped the lecithin, just 'cuz I didn't have any.

Strained through tripled up cheescloth & I don't mind the cannabits anyway.

Took a teaspoon a bit ago. I'm ripped & don't think I've plateaued.

The oil tastes just like the weed, which is pretty durn tasty.

I may be missing something, but this technique doesn't require any added gear, double boil set up, machines, or the cleanup of all that other stuff.

Thanks all for the very xlnt inspiration!

May I ask how you decarbed? FHO is a process designed to limit the loss of terpenes and flavonoids that would be occurring in an open oven decarb. I like your process, and I'm always open to another method of making a quick, small batch of potent oil that limits equipment and cleanup.

I recently did a batch in the oven on 170 degrees for 36 hours and was shocked at how much hadn't decarbed in that time.

You produced an oil that satisfied your needs to be efficient and get blasted. Lol! I call that a good day's work. Let me know how long the high lasts. Sativa or indica terpenes? Just 'cause I'm curious.

Incidentally, you can always add lecithin later, when you get some. It'll reduce the time to onset and extend the hang time of your euphoric experience.

Great recipe, glad you got "ripped" but as a person with a cognitive disability, your method is more dangerous to me than using the MB2 machine. Keeping me away from the stove, preventing me standing on my feet consistantly, and avoiding oil spills are all valid concerns that people with disabilities face when making oil on the stove top.

Perhaps asking why we do it this way would be a little more informative than assuming we are all able bodied and full brains in tact.

Also, getting ripped is not my goal and if it was I would join you for sure, but it's to make medicine and be as safe as I can. So I look for alternative ways of accomplishing the same goals, I just have to do it differently. Hence the melting pot of ideas and experiences.

I do appreciate your freestyle attitude and wish you many happy oil days in the future.

You know, it occurs to me that the pressure cooker might be a great option for you G2HM. Have you considered that? One of my goals is to find ways to let you and others with disabilities create FHO themselves, if that's their desire, or their only option.

 

[Lady G2HM]

I have been eagerly reading all the great posts here hoping to find more ways. I would be open to your suggestions for sure. Have not thought about pressure cooker...hmmm

You got me this far.

Whatcha thinking .?

Q: Decarb?
A: Did it in the oven. Yep didn't follow the recipe, because I had to use the oven for dinner later, but will when I got fresh bud

Q: Indica or sativa?
A: Yes! The trim was from 1 indica, 1 hybrid, & one sativa.

Q: Duration?
A: Lasted about 4 hours. Still pretty buzzed, but it's tapered off. Frost leaves are often as stony as any other part of the bud.

Main intent for my experiment was to see if the method would work without constant stove-watching, temp checking, and cooking gear that isn't multi-purpose & that I don't want to have/store.

Have checked the oven before, but all ovens oscillate a bit, temp-wise. But the cast iron & oil add a lot of thermal inertia. Ambient stove temp varied from about 186F to 197F, but the oil only oscillated from 188F to 191F, pretty solid.

I fully understand the lecithin thing, but I try not to store ingredients I don't use in other things.

Been baking for over 40 yrs, so I usually try out recipes closely once, then skip steps thereafter, with some thought.

**I would like to learn your "easy" method of oven oil. Could you describe it further? What is the dish are you using, how much oil, how heavy is it? There are so many questions that come up with your oven method, but I am open to learning. My concerns...the heaviness of the tray, spills and the lighting the oven on fire...lol. I know it's kinda funny, but I've got brain damage, so anything can happen. I can't use the stove top but the oven I've never tried.

Hi, Gang,

It's been two weeks today since I made my Infused Olive Oil and I am ready to call it a success. I have used it several times and I feel like I have a handle on its effects. My Husband likes it and I can tell that for him just two drops is enough to take the edge off. He is more relaxed, amiable and seems to be more comfortable when using just that little bit.

I am now confident enough that tomorrow I will be giving some to my Sister-in-law who has Parkinson's. She suffers from mild dyskinesia and is very bothered by incessant, internal tremors. I would love to be able to give her some relief from all of that. She is a total novice when it comes to Cannabis so dosing will be very low and very slow. I'm sure it will take much of the morning. She has been looking forward to trying it since I first got my seeds back in May.

This is the end result of my process. I ended up with exactly 12oz of infused olive oil. I got 8oz of what I am calling first run...oil that came directly out of the pot after the heating process. The second run is the oil that was squeezed out of the cheesecloth 'balls' after they were boiled in water to release the oil left in the material. That process delivered an additional 4 oz. So, in all, I got 12 oz.

Since this is my first go at all of this I decided to use 1oz, amber bottles with 'medicine' droppers. They work very, very well. As you can see, I have them all bottled up, labeled, in a storage container and are now in the frig.

One question remains...what is the shelf life of oil like this. Is the frig enough to keep it fresh or should it be stored in the freezer for longer viability? With such a potent oil, 8 oz will last a while. I would like to be sure that the last bottle used will be as good/safe as the first. I have watched lots of youtube videos and one person who has addressed this is Bev from the 'Cooking with Cannabis' channel. I think she said that in the frig it is good for one year but she made hers using a crock pot and vegetable glycerine. Not sure how that would compare. Would it hurt to store them in the freezer?

Thanks, everyone. It is so helpful to read about everyone experiences and techniques. I'm looking forward to my next grow...I miss the aroma of cannabis in my house.
