Lots of great work going on here; so impressive. In the spirit of using the entire cannabis plant, what does everyone do with the stems, anything?
I chew on them a little bit... I keep a jar of cut stems after I’ve jarred up a harvest and chew 1-2 bits most days.

Hey G - I’m still reading the mega post above :thumb: ... you might adjust the bit near the beginning that says the lecithin bunds the oil and the terpenes. AFAIK - It’s the cannabinoids. The lecithin bonds the cannabinoids to the oil and aids absorption and distribution of cannabinoids.

And re that dark coffe colour, part of that is the lecithin too. When I add the lecithin after infusion it’s not as dark as it is when the lecithin goes in beforehand. And if I don’t use lecithin at all the oil is not really dark.

Going back to read more... :surf:
 
Amy - Thanks so much, love the edits.

I find that the plant material is really what makes it dark, not really any coffee darkness, it's pretty light when I took a pic of it from the top of the jar. It's not mud, but it's not a sauvignon blanc. hahahaha mmm chilled white wine on a day like today. Too bad I'm sober and prefer the taste of oil as opposed to MIRAGES of good times. hahaha. oh boy, ;) Going to take my dose of oil now and chill.

Thank you so much for caring!
 
It's going to be a whirlwind Amy, there is so much happening again that I have to remember to keep it simple and not call myself stupid. hahahaha. It just really helps to get everything out. :hug: More positive changes to come!

Thanks @Pennywise - Means a lot coming from you. :hug:
 
High Lady G2,

You are so awesome! You have put together a complete protocol for dosing with cannabis oil to treat neurodegenerative disease, while being a patient of the disease. I don't believe that has ever been done before. I an seriously impressed that you have accomplished so much. When considering how FTD (Alzheimers Disease) affects someone, you have learned to deal with this and to improve your condition at the same time!
Do you remember when you were diagnosed (I'm sure you do, with the tests and probing)? Did you get that sinking feeling in your stomach? Now, look at you. Just since I've joined your journals, you are bubbling over with optimism and joy (At least, you seem to be whenever online). You have a command of your situation like I've never seen before! Congratulations on a great job well done! I'm so proud of you.
 
LADY G2HM - BRAINIACS
LIGHT to CLEAR HEADED CANNABIS MICRO-DOSING OIL

Decarb & MB2
"Oilzheimer's" Recipe 2.0

SHORT EDITED VERSION


Equipment:

Oven

1x MB2 “Magic Butter Machine” (includes MB ‘Love Glove’ and straining bag)

1x Scale

Cheesecloth

Sanitary gloves

1x Cookie Sheet

1x Sheet of Wax Paper

1x Pyrex Measuring Cup (2 cup size)

1x teaspoon

16oz Mason jar w/airtight seal or larger



Ingredients:

1 ounce of harvested bud (Dry)

7.2 ounces of popcorn bud and leaves
*(frozen and heavy due to frost, use any amount from your grow)


6.3 ounces fan leaves
*(frozen and heavy due to frost, use any amount from your grow)


2 cups Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil or Organic Coconut Oil

2 Teaspoons Liquid Sunflower Lecithin (1 teaspoon per cup of oil)


Steps:

Preheat oven to 230 F

Place a strip of wax paper where you can put your decarb right away. This will capture the bits of the trichomes and make it easy to put directly into the MB2.


Put on your sanitary gloves.

Spread your botanicals evenly over the cookie sheet.
  • Leaves and buds take different amounts of time to decarb in the oven, based on different shapes and density.
  • Buds should be no bigger than a thumbprint.
  • Break buds apart GENTLY by hand to avoid damaging the trichomes.
Remove stems and undesirable plant material (yellow/extremely wilted or withered leaves).


Place tray in the exact center of the oven (adjust baking rack if needed).


Let the botanicals “decarb” at that temperature for 1 hour and 10 minutes, or until buds are golden brown and leaves are a deep green.

  • Check occasionally to avoid burning.
  • AROMA is very noticeable, you may want to prepare accordingly.
  • When it is ready you should smell an unmistakable aroma, similar to roasted chestnuts
Remove cookie sheet from oven and wait for it to cool.


This picture above is the perfect colour of decarb, taken with no flash. Gather all your decarbed buds and plant material and gently crumble them. They should be dark brown and green. (Taken with FLASH on)


Gently put ALL buds & plant material into the MB2.

Add Oil to MB2, covering the plant material.
  • Make sure the oil and is above the ‘Min’ Line on the inside of the machine. Ingredients will not mix properly if the oil is not above the MIN line!
  • Add more oil if needed depending on the amount of buds and plant material you used.

Add Liquid Sunflower Lecithin to MB2.


Close the MB2 and set the temperature to 160F.


Set the time to 8 hours. The MB2 will beep constantly when it is finished.

Unplug the power cord from the MB2.

Place the Pyrex measuring cup in the sink or on a spill catching surface. (oil is HOT and can spatter easily).

Put on the “Love Glove” and Hold the straining bag over the Pyrex Measuring Cup, making sure the straining mesh at the bottom of the straining bag is just inside the measuring cup (to avoid spills while straining).


Carefully pour the contents of the MB2 into the straining bag (Love glove should be holding the bag, to protect it against the hot oil) OR USE CHEESECLOTH. Pour as much out as you can, including the “sludge” at the bottom, if possible.

Hold the edge of the straining bag with your unprotected hand, and slowly move the Love Glove down the bag to squeeze the oil through to bottom of the bag and into the measuring cup until the oil naturally stops coming out of the bag. Use the Love Glove hand to squeeze the bottom of the bag to get more oil out.


Bonus step for those with strong hands and a bit of coordination:

To get even more oil out of the bag, start twisting the top of the bag (using unprotected hand) and use the Love Glove hand to do the same near the bottom of the bag, just above the plant material but in the opposite direction, Like wringing out a towel, and squeeze out more oil. Keeping the pressure on the plant material at the bottom of the bag, it should feel like a mushy ball inside the bag, getting harder and harder the more you wring out the bag. Do this until no more liquid comes out or until your hands are exhausted, whichever comes first.

Thus utilizing the entire plant and popcorn buds you grew.

Let the oil cool in the measuring cup for about an hour.


Pour oil into sealable mason jar through cheesecloth to strain it once more, OR just pour it in directly if you are happy with the consistency of the oil as it is. If you don’t want plant material in your oil, feel free to strain it twice more but use a bigger jar to clamp the cheesecloth to.


Seal the jar and place it in a COOL and DARK place.

Great tutorial on making oil. I can tell already I'm going to brew up a batch after my next harvest.

Thanks for the oil 2.0 ms. Grow. Going to try it this weekend. You rock this site

*WOOHOO! I'm so happy you can try it out. Just in time for you.

High Lady G2,
You are so awesome! You have put together a complete protocol for dosing with cannabis oil to treat neurodegenerative disease, while being a patient of the disease. I don't believe that has ever been done before. I an seriously impressed that you have accomplished so much. When considering how FTD (Alzheimers Disease) affects someone, you have learned to deal with this and to improve your condition at the same time!
Do you remember when you were diagnosed (I'm sure you do, with the tests and probing)? Did you get that sinking feeling in your stomach? Now, look at you. Just since I've joined your journals, you are bubbling over with optimism and joy (At least, you seem to be whenever online). You have a command of your situation like I've never seen before! Congratulations on a great job well done! I'm so proud of you.

*Wow, did your message ever make me happy @Bode . You really know how to make a girl's day. You have this ability to see the entire scope of my work from a medical perspective and that is incredibly valuable to me. Thank you for being so detailed and supportive. I'm giving you the biggest hug for being one of my brain guides. Truly a blessed soul you are and your words are stored in my vault for the future too.

*I think my birthday week really kicked it off for me, but as I always say. There are angels who are holding me up when I get down on myself.

*But truly the answer is, 420 magazine is my happy place. No matter how I'm feeling, this is my home away from home. There are a handful of things that make me happy, and this forum brings out the best in me. When I go outside, I have extreme anxiety, when I'm here in my journal, I'm relaxed and chill. This has been a huge part of my rehabilitation because of the writing it takes to post here. It's like a brain game, within a grow game, within a social game, within a game to save my life. It's all very exciting. So yes I'm still going through extremely stressful times, but when I get back to my journal and read messages like yours, it feels like I can do anything. Funny how I feed off positivity in order for it to carry over into my health.

*Wishing to give you a big hug right now. Your blind brain friend, Lady G

Great tutorial on making oil. I can tell already I'm going to brew up a batch after my next harvest.

*Thank youuu, Go on with your bad self, you will have gallons of it after your last harvest...hahahaha

Love the recipe. I expect it’s only “not strong” because you micro-dose with it. That’s very similar to the recipe I used with coconut oil. I added a cup to some brownies. That was a day of great naps. :thumb:

*EXACTLY, micro-dosing is the key. See the scientists said that Cannabis of ANY kind cannot treat neuro diseases. So I'm here to prove it CAN be done, with the right strain, the right micro-dosing and the right recipe. BOOYAH! hahahaha Great to see again DrDoob.
