Thats a lot of gummies Aqua! How do you store them? First couple times I made gummies I only ate about 6 of them before the rest went bad and started growing mold on them so I switched to capsules in MCT.

In the fridge in a zip. The last ones I made lasted about 3 weeks and didn't have any issues with them. As soon as they cool I toss em in zips. These are actually headed out your way to the island for the father inlaw. I'll probably keep 20 or so for friends here. But making more next week. Have a few requests for them.

I would imagine i could freeze em.

Haha PM me..😎 We have "delivery" service by bike messenger in NYC that basically peddles leftover CA dispensary stuff. A 50g gummy is $50 so the math is easy lol...But all joking aside I only grow for personal use and to share with friends and have never made $1 off this beautiful plant ...especially considering how many thousands have been spent in its pursuit haha ❤🌱❤

Depending on the hydrocolloid you used to make them, they may or may not freeze well.

If you used gelatin, they'll start "weeping" after too long in the freezer if you don't also add 1% xanthan gum by weight.

$50/gummie thats insane. I wouldn't want to risk shipping across the border but my God I would be buying and growing all the weed I could and making gummies for that price.

1gram of weed at 20% is about 160mg after losses. So you can turn i gram into $150. Wow i give em away mostly but if someone want a batch usually do $2 a gummie.

Sunflower lecithin, and gelatin

The lecithin might stop the syneresis in the frozen gummies. If you freeze one, let me know. Now I'm curious!

There are various things that can be added to keep them from molding like citric and ascorbic acids.

I’m planning on perfecting a vegan gummy with agar agar, and should not weep when frozen, I don’t believe. I usually unmold, let them air dry on cooling racks for a couple of days, then toss them into a baggie that has a tablespoon of powdered sugar with 1/8 to 1/4 tsp citric acid mixed. Shake to coat and store in the fridge. I also make really yummy fruit chews (fruit caramels) and hard candy and nut brittle and toffee. But I keep the straight infused coconut oil on hand to cook with as well. I’ve actually never made cannabutter, just oil.

Agar will 100% weep when frozen, promise. 🙂 Xanthan gum is vegan though.

That all sounds seriously delicious.

Yeah I used @sshz recipe as my base and tweaked it.

I decarb 1.5oz on parchment paper in the oven at 225 for 45 min. Making sure to break up coarsely just using scissors not a grinder.

During this time i take a pot with water and place a nonstick pan on top (see pics) and place a meat thermometer in the pan. This is gives me great control of the temps and i find about 2-3 on the burner to hold the 180-190f perfectly.

measure out 10oz of Virgini coconut oil and add to the pan get the temps a stable 180-190f then add 1/2 tsp sunflower lecithin and stir in. After the cannabis is decarbed (45min) pour the weed into the coconut oil. Simmer at 180-190f for 4 hrs. This is the long part.

After 4 hrs take a bowl and drape cheese cloth over it. I use an elastic band to hold the cheese cloth in place and just push the middle down a bit. Pour the contents of thw pan into the cheese cloth and let strain for 10 min. Then I pull the elastic off and squeeze the rest of the oil out ( i found with this method i don't get near as much chlorophyll when I squeeze it out as other methods for some reason) I think keeping the temps tight is the key

Now the easy part.

Out of the 10oz of coconut oil goin in you should get aboit 1 cup (enough for 2 batches)

Take 1/2 cup of infused oil and put back into the pan on your pot of water. Set temp to min.

Add 1/2 cup of water

Add 1/2tsp sunflower lecithin and stir in (you should see the water and oil combine and should not look separated after stirring the lecithin in)

Then stir in 1 pack (85grams) of your choice jello until dissolved.

At this point you want to be ready to go. All molds setup and you wanna get the jello into the molds as fast as possible after stirring in the gelatin. More hands the better and whybi recommend not doing more than a single batch at a time.

Stir in 2 packets (15ml each) knox gelatin. Once dissolved immediately start filling the molds giving the mix a stir to every so often to prevent skinning on the top.

Place mold in fridge for 20-30 min and then remove from the molds.

This makes about 150 gummies that depending on the strength of cannabis used will be fairly strong. I figured about 40mg each if using 20%thc. But again this is a rough estimate.

Basically every % of thc will equal 10mg of thc per gram. So 20% 200mg per gram used and i always account for 20% losses in processing. A 10% strain would be 100mg per gram used minus the 20% would be aboit 80mg per gram.

I did this as detailed as I could but if ya have questions just ask.

Also, used “unrefined” coconut oil........don’t know why, but that’s what I’ve always been told.

And use silicon candy molds, as they make getting the gummies out quick and easy.
