Firecrackers ??

My edibles these days come from infused oil ( avacado ). Mostly in tea with a little milk as a carrier. 2 doses a day average. Brownies sometimes too. This is my guide.
 
Firecrackers were the first edibles I ever made. My scale batts were going out one night, I didn't know it, made an extra potent firecracker. Walking down the hallway to the bedroom around 3 a.m. was very trippy but it wasn't too much for me to handle.
 
Adding to this recent edible post - Because of my misfortune during the last grow I took the Drive of Shame yesterday, bought 1 gram of RSO/FECO distillate etoh-extracted Indica-enhanced oil, 80% total THC. It comes in a clickable syringe called a Dablicator but I don't want to dab it, it's nice looking vape-able oil but I didn't buy it to vape. I want to use it for edibles, the price was good. I know I have to decarb it, I have the small Pyrex jars. I've always just put the jar on a tiny pan in the oven and watched the bubbles. However, most online instructions say to put the jar in a pot with warm oil - does that really matter? I have hemp oil wax thinner to get the viscosity back from heating it, and a glass syringe to pull it back up into when finished decarbing.

Next Q: I'd like to make gummies with half of it - I don't have MCT or Lecithin here, is there something else to put the oil into to make a successful gummy batch? With the other half I plan to add it to whatever I make - emulsify it into an oil, butter, sauce, etc. Or put it on top of a food item and let it absorb. Lastly, if I want 10 mg each gummies would someone calculate how many I should make, using a half gram of this oil?

Looking at a snowy weekend but not cold enough to use Mother Nature's sub zero temps to make oil, this I could do while stuck inside. I have gummy molds, 'basters', several boxes of Knox and Jello. I really don't feel like going shopping locally for lecithin or MCT, Thursday the stores were already busy with panic buyers. I doubt that Dollar General has what I need, I could be wrong. Thank you.
 
I’ve used the recipe on GWE and it was sort of successful. I added a couple drops of lecithin and maybe cooked it a bit long and they came out closer to a stale gumdrop so they are probably better without lecithin. Now I save myself the trouble and use a mix meant for canna gummies that I found online that has been successful every time. The mixes are not overly expensive but probably more than doing it from scratch.

If you use the mix follow the instructions exactly re cooking time, not stirring while it cooks and letting them dry uncovered for at least 24 hours.

Re calculating the number of gummies to get 10mg each, there was someone here who was really quick with these calculations but I can’t remember who. Doing my best:
-1gram of 80% oil is 800mg of thc
-since you said it isn’t decarbed you can count on not having a perfectly efficient decarb so assuming 80% efficiency you now have 640mg of thc
- divide that in half as you said you were going to save half for other things you now have 320mg thc
-divide 320mg by 10mg each gives you 32 gummies
-finally, you will leave some of the mix behind in the pot depending on how quickly you can get the warm mixture into the molds so your final number of 10mg gummies will be lower although you can salvage some of that by scraping the pot after it cools or reheating it with a bit of liquid.

That is my best guess but if anyone else wants to correct me feel free. I don’t generally calculate too closely for mine I just make sure I have the evening free of commitments before I test one.
 
DeadlyFruit - that sounds right, my head was banging last night, didn't feel like computing, thank you! I want to have enough molds ready when the batch is ready for filling. I have the small basters but I also have a larger glass syringe for injecting flavoring product into meat, never used it, saved it for this. It'd be easier to run hot water over to loosen it up if needed and easier/faster to inject into the molds, I think.

I tried some 1:1 Drops from the dispo, like sugar-coated bigger gum drops, good for sleep later. There were 20 for $30, 5 mg THC each, I'd eat 2 or 3. This would be a good trial, get more pieces for less money. I hate to use the whole syringe for my first batch, I like using oil in jelly on toast, etc. I just have to find a place for the gummies to dry that the cat can't reach.
 
I set a cooling rack in a small cookie tray and just put it in the fridge. It seems to dry more quickly there. I know that if you don’t dry them quite well they get sticky, especially if you want to roll them in sugar ( the sugar just turns into syrup as it sucks up the moisture coming out). Some people role them in I think it is citric acid and sugar for sour gummies - Haven't tried it but read that this needs to be even more dry before coating the gummies because the citric acid binds to the moisture making them a sticky mess.
