Edibles...

Hi all

I have had the ability to buy various cannabis toys along the way and my favorite thing to do with cannabis is make edibles.

I have a magical butter machine. They do work BUT they are loud as fuck and have a light show and are not very covert.

I bought an Ardent Lift and that is a game changer. It is a decarb machine that takes 1 hour 45 minutes to perfectly decarb your cannabis to render most of the THC to something your body can use. You can get a half to an oz rammed in it.

I have also taken a fresh cut bud and decarbed it....I think that may be the most potent edible bud i have ever decarbed. It is very weird when you eat it. It is like eating a honey clover flower but the flavor is good the texture is weird. I did this with critical mass and the bud was bout 5 grams wet (1.5 dry?) and i was baked for 6 hours. That never happens anymore so this is stellar.

I have since started infusing in a 150ml (10 tablespoon) measuring cup in the ardent.

10 grams infused into 120 ml is the ratio i tried with coconut/avocado/olive oil and clarified butter. Avocado and clarified butter win all round for taste and the avocado for effect.

If you are going to buy something to decarb just get the Ardent Lift...if it is for personal you can do it all with the one silent, awesome machine.

It works so well now i decarb an oz at a time and make oil when i want it (fresh and bakey)

Get the Ardent...you will not be sorry. But only if you like kick in the ass sit on a couch edibles. Your mileage may vary...

It works good no doubt about it (MGBM) but the ardent works better. I usually eat whole buds and dont infuse anything.

The proper decarb converts all THC C and A to the one you can use. I measured the last batch and it was 56MG of thc per tsp. That is some killer brownie right there...

My favorite so far is the fresh cut bud. I will try one this weekend with a fresh king tut bud and a decarb and see what it tastes like and how well it works. :D It is for science after all.

My favorite carriers are still the avoocado oil, coconut oil and clarifried butter but i like eating a 0 calorie bud too. And when green the flavor is aromatic and you can taste the terps and it is floral and like grassy meadows and sunshine.

But i was really fucking high when i thought about it. That part really reeled me in...

I like when I have no where to go and the stone is strong enough that i can not feel my sore hands. Sometimes I cant feel my legs either but thats ok..:D That is when i tell others this shit is strong have 1 gummy.

Here is a handy chart for decarb times at various temps

What i like about the ardent is i press a button and it runs at the lowest temp to convert the most THC to available for human consumption.


The terps are the best part.

I ate a 3 gram bud of black diamond. It was delicious and different than the critical mass. And the effect was what i was after. This took 90 minutes to run in the Lift.

And I like them fresh so now i usually decarb a quarter at a time and when i am out of edible buds i decarb more :D

I use the decarb machine way more than any other device.

Ardent claims smoking decarbed buds is stronger in effect than regular buds. But I found it tastes kind of shitty. Great for eating. Regular buds are better for smoking.

Later i will vape a bowl of decarbed bud in the da buddha. I havent tried that yet...

I am decarbing a bunch of trim from king tut. This weekend i will run it in the MGBM. I will do 2 cups of coconut oil with whatever i end up baking. I am at 1oz of popcorn and trim and counting. I might get to 3 oz by the time i fire it up.

I will go for a lower infusion time and figure out the temp after some doobius research.

The GG4 buds are delicious. The green ones after a 3 day dry are my favorite. Terpy and unusual and weirdly textured with dramatic sustained effect.

It smokes good too :D

After trying various fats to see what works best I have found 2 work the best. Oil of any kind tastes kind of like burnt and crappy a bit regardless of which machine I have used.
Coconut oil....stellar. Best strength, best flavor for spoon in hot water and great for baked goods
Clarified butter. Wow this was a surprise. When you get the butter fats out the end result is a milder tasting product and this shit is the bomb on popcorn.
I made an ardent batch and it is really nicely strong. I highly recommend it.

I am going to make a shit load of it when i find my MGBM...its in a box someplace.

Until then though i will make it 1/2 cup at a time. It is kind of fun the anticipation.

I just like to hedge my bets. I will probably press rosin and decarb pucks in the ardent

Slow cooker works great but I really like eating decarbed buds

So I am glad I kept the dulytech. My supply will get to robin pressing yields

A half of decarbed rosin would also make killer gummies and decarbed pucks probably taste likevsmokey black pepper IPA

It is funny when i started growing personal i thought 4 oz...i will never run out..then 8 oz

Last summer it was 2 pounds.

Now I can grow as much as I need or want so i can produce edibles. I just like them to be the devastator gummy...for personal use only.

But it does take some weight to get things where i feel good. 5 pounds of coconut oil in the freezer that is in that class makes me happy. I am down to 6 so i am still happy.

I can make weaker ones for other people. But for me I like em strong.
