I blended White Widow and Royal Medic flower as a test. I didn't make tincture from it.Tinctures are seriously underrated long shelf life, precise dosing and no flavour interference once you've water cured. Blending different crops to balance the effect profile is a smart move too. White Widow and Royal Medic is an interesting combo for sleep — the CBD from the Medic probably smooths out the high nicely.
I just made a tincture from Royal Medic. It came out surprisingly potent. I used 10 grams of flower (instead of my usual 8 grams). My wife decarboxylated it for an hour at 220F. I used the two-wash method with 3 ounces of 90 proof Everclear for each wash. Each wash spent a full day in the freezer with occasional shaking. Then I reduced it down to 75 ml, which is more than the recipe's 60 ml.
We tested it two days later by consuming 1/2 ml. We were all surprised by the potency. I'd guess the lowest effective dose might be close to 1/4 ml. At that rate, I estimate a person could get high more than 300 times from 10 grams of flower. We still have another 10 grams of decarboxylated flower, too.
