Sweet! The time will pass quickly... cheers

Here is a link to an experiment that I have successfully completed recently creating a glycerin/alcohol/water tincture. https://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=156471

The tincture is very uplifting and euphoric without being confusing or too stoney. Just a feel good vibe...

Here is a comparison of tinctures made by various hot and cold processes. The clear one is glycerine that has been heat cycled 10 times to show that it doesn't change color,

You can make extremely potent and tasty tincture in a couple of days, but you lose the nuances of the individual plant turpenoids and flavanoids, as the individual flavors marry into more of a soup.

Thanks Gray Wolf, this makes a lot of sense to me... that is, to be more gentle with the transfer of THC(energy) from the greens into the liquid medium. I think a lot of the success in the finished tincture is due to the personality characteristics of the greens used. Cheers

Hello all I am an OMMP from Oregon who is in the process of making my first glycerin tincture right now. I put 1 OZ of really frosty trim leaves along with around 5 g of kiff that I accumulated while grinding my goods in my space case.

It has been sitting in a brown paper bag on top of my water heater since February 20th, with an opening day set for 4/20/2010. Everything looks good, its turning the correct colors, jar is usually at 80 degrees most of the day until I pull it off to shake it.

I really hope this works, was gifted a small bottle the last time I renewed my card at my favorite Portland Clinic and it has done wonders for both my wife and I.

awesome thread. I am going to start making this for my patients asap. I have been searching for a non alchahol based tincture for a long time.

are there any food or candy recipes which call for glycerin?

Big Raspect...especially to graywolf...you are a master of your craft for sure!

This seems like a great idea. I am trying my current tincture on some people that I know suffer from depression. Everyone else really gets a "feel good" euphoric feeling and I hope it can help heal depression symptoms by making people just feel good.
I'll let you know the results. cheers

You can heat cycle a glycerin plant mixture to build potency fast by filling a jar about 3/4 full of plant material and topping it with about an inch of glycerin after stirring it in well.

Heat cycling causes more rapid breakdown and absorption of the cannabinoids, than the same amount of time at the same temperature. Heat cycling in nature is what reduces mountains to rubble.

For a hot mix, I set that jar in 200F oil and stir the mixture regularly until it reaches 160F, at which point I take it out of the oil and let it cool down. I repeat that procedure about 7 times, usually over 7 days, but I have compressed the schedule into a couple of days with good results.

I then run it through a home made extraction press, photo attached, using a bag made out of a discarded 160 count or greater bed sheet.

The pictue does not clearly show that the bag is actually pressed between two nested dog pans, so the glycerin touches only stainless.

What many people miss at that point, is that you can put all the resulting pressed hockey pucks in a jar, again cover with glycerin, and do the whole thing over again a couple of more times, to pull off some extremely good meds.

Hot process builds potency logarithmically faster than cold process. Donated ostensibly expended plant material, stripped by the cold process, still produced potent meds by the hot process in every sample that I have run to date.

You can also run press out a sample and use the same infused glycerin with fresh material to build potency, but at a reduced rate, as the glycerin’s solvent ability is reduced by saturation.

A long cold process produces meds with a multitude of different flavors heading off in all directions in a delightful explosion, while hot processed meds are more like what you taste when you mix and cook all the ingredients to a soup together. Damn tasty, but not usually provocative.

Some of the Turpenoids and Flavoids also dissipate at relatively low temperature, and heating speeds up that process. On the other hand, some of them aren't all that tasty, and it can be an improvement with some strains.

I don’t use glycerin but make it for others. I do however currently have three cold samples going on almost a year, which I haven't tried yet, but the most provocative glycerin tincture I have samples of, was a 120 day cold process using Shishkaberry, supplied by Oregon's Southpaww. That is the sample that I am aiming to beat with my 1 year old sample.

I know that this is going to sound like an odd question, but short of straining some and testing it, is there any way to tell if my tincture is done or not? Like is there specific colors its supposed to turn or a texture I'm looking for? I did 10 ounces of Glycerin, and around a zip of really good really frosty bubba kush trim leaves. Along with a chunk of Hash and around 5 grams of kiff.
