I'm making a small batch of infused olive oil that calls for 7 grams herb and 1 cup olive oil in a crockpot. I was wondering if I could add CBD isolate to make a 1:1 oil and if so, how much?

With rough math, I figured that the bud has roughly 20% thc, so that would give you 200mg of thc per gram.
So 7 grams flower = 1.4 grams thc. + 1.4 grams isolate would be 1:1.
This is obviously very approximate, but it came out decent for a small batch.

How did your oil turn out? I was wanting to try and make some myself.

Turned out great and is very mellow with the added CBD.
I still have two dropper bottles in the freezer.

Cool. Did you stick with the same recipe? I'll have to give this a try.
I was thinking about need to heat the green, on order to turn thc-a to thc-aaaaay.
Few things we cook reach 100c. To do so, all the water must first of left. Bread and 88c are often spoke of together. Just waiting for the temp to reach that, and it's done.
Another member posted this chart of temps, which suggest to me that never really getting past 90c might not fully exploit the greens strength.

Then again, baking the green to dust isn't really an option. If you could tripple the strength of just 25% of the green, it would be 50% stronger overall.
What sort of time are you double boiling for?

Memories a little hazy but I think I tweaked it a bit by using a bit less herb. This was more of a medicinal elixir for me, so I wanted it a little more heavy on the CBD side.
