Just wanted to get the DGCs opinion on the best tasting and easiest way to make gummies. There are so many ways some very complicated and some too easy. I would like to get the best taste and more solid texture than I seem to be getting. I have had separation issues as well.
Any and all help is appreciated.
Keep up the grow DGC!
Are you infusing butter or are you using distillate?
I’ve had separation issues trying to make a variety of candies when using butter. Distillates tended to work better for me. I’ve also had a hard time finding steel molds for small candies. I can find rubber ones all day but when I make hard candies, that shit would melt through the mold if I poured it when needed.
Melt down regular gummies, separate colors if desired, add 1/8 cup of infused coconut oil to 1 cup of melted gummies add to molds put in freezer until setup add sugar to the outside of the gummy after to prevent melting
awesome!
I make cannabis infused coconut oil. In place of Jello brand I use Starburst or Jolly Rancher brand jello. I also add about 1/4 teaspoon of citric acid to the mix for a little more flavor. Citric acid is handy, I mix 5 parts sugar to 1 part citric acid for the sour sprinkles. I use to use citric acid as my ph down before I switched to ph perfect nutrients, an 1/8 tsp makes a big change in 5 gallons. A pound from the grocery and you can make sour gummy’s and ph down for quite a while. Happy Growing 🙂

No you’re right, let’s do it the dumbest way possible because it’s easier for you.
Your idea of me is not my responsibility to live up to.

SAVE THE HIGH, GROW MORE SATIVA

I do a hard candy method for its simplicity. Any stickiness leaching out can be handled by coating the candies in powdered sugar. Its hard to get it to taste good and have high potency, so hard candy which is basically pure sugar and resin makes it the most bearable for high potency (200mg range). Before pouring into the candy molds I sprinkle in citric acid into the molds so the candy starts out sour then goes sweet with a hint of resin.
best edibles that don’t taste like weed for the home grower is chocolate made with bubble hash or concentrates.
Buy a bag of (candy melts) from target, walmartr, michaels, ac moore, hobby lobby etc…
Make your infused coco oil.(you can google this if you don’t know)
Double boiler, add oil and add candy melts of any flavor, wisk the piss out of it so no chocolate sits in one spot too long which will burn it. When 90% is melted, take off the heat and wisk till totally dissolved, pour into molds and set at room temp or the fridge. Setting chocolate at room temp allows them to be handled more without melting.
Chocolate has a fat source and the coco oil is a fat also so they meld together perfectly with no seperation. Making gummies can be done with coco oil but the result is a sub-par quality, texture and taste. If you are looking to make something along the lines of a store bought gummy, its going to take equipment, materials and a good trial and error.
I have made them for years and gummies and hard candy I leave to the pros for the same reason chad mentioned…..seperation…you can use soy lecithin as an emulsifier but again if you go the chocolate approach its fool proof and not needed.
I have a mold with (120) .5″ x .5″ x .25″ molds, I use 4 grams of hash for this recipe and end up with 120 15mg chocolates. easy easy stuff and I dose / eat as needed 😉
This is cool shit DGC!
