quantity

This recipe made 50 lollipops...and definitely get temp to 310 degrees. But a kick ass recipe!

Green Dragon????

I was thinking about using green dragon for this instead of the tincture, because it takes too long, bad idea? Will it be as effective? Is there something else I can use that takes less time?

Potency

Green dragon isn't as concentrated as tincture, so your lollipops or hard candies won't be nearly as potent.

Hard candy

Just finished makin a batch, used Honey instead of corn syrup tangerine flavor did not add color the green color looks good to me!
Candy is great came out perfect you can almost see through it
THANKYOU FOR THE WONDERFUL RECIPE,
MISSBONEGIRL

Weight estimate

About how many pounds will this recipe make of the finished hard candy?

decarb with hash or keif?

Im going to make my tincture with some hash, do I still need to decarb?

Gummy

I followed recipe exactly but it's a little gummy, maybe with the addition of liquid you need to heat mixture to 310-hard crack? Any suggestions?

you need to heat up the

you need to heat up the mixture a little more

hmm

first time making these and I'd love to have them turn out really hard like lollipops.. so you guys go over the feared 300 degrees? Or do you mean heat it up more before the tincture is added? Don't see how that would help the texture since we're adding the tincture afterwards.. (??)

Also, on a stove how can you really monitor the temperature that precisely? (just don't want to mess up! :)

tincture only?

is it possible to use finely ground hash and or kief instead of tincture?

mixture of tincture

yes you can and it will be a different consistency but more potent

i wouldnt, i did so and it

i wouldnt, i did so and it was very grimy and didn't turn completely solid more like jello shots

Amount of Flavoring

About how much flavoring is needed for this recipe?? Thanks!

Flavoring

This is about the same recipe as "green apple lollipops" from
the BH&G checkerboard book (14th edition). 1/2 tsp green apple flavor
or 1/4 tsp for the blackberry version. I believe I made cinnamon
pops and used a 1/2 tsp and they were fine.

TIncture

I was wondering if 1-2 ounces of tincture means all the solid particles and the liquid from 1-2 ounces or just the liquid? or is it even a liquid? first time doin it! : )oh and also the thc soaks into the alcohol correct?

It means 1-2 ounces of actual

It means 1-2 ounces of actual tincture (the alcohol + the cannabis liquid tincture which is strained to remove particles when you are done with the extraction) - just follow the recipe on the site! :)

Yes, the THC is extracted into the alcohol when you make the tincture.

You can also use Glycerin Tincture if you'd prefer.

Flavoring

If you use a tincture would it be flavored with the alcohol you used to make the tincture? Otherwise what would be an example of a flavoring? thanks

re: flavoring

FYI, the alcohol will volatilize in the hot syrup leaving no taste

Yeah, wouldn't the alcohol in

Yeah, wouldn't the alcohol in the tincture (Everclear) just evaporate, leaving an alright hash oil imbedded throughout the lollipop?

Yield

Could you give an example of the the best size mold to use and what the typical yield would be.

GMO

CORN SYRUP IS A GENETICALLY MODIFIED PRODUCT......MONSANTO CAN GO F*CK THEMSELVES CAUSE THEY ARE WORTHLESS PIECES OF SH*T!!!! F*CK GMO's AND F*CK MONSANTO

Well...

You can always use organic corn syrup. ;)

corn syrup

You can also use "golden syrup" which is a byproduct of cane sugar refining. Golden syrup is sold in some stores or at amazon.com.

Or Agave?

What about Agave nectar? (cactus juice) It's very low glycemic index
might make a very healthy alternative.

or Agave

I use Agave to make my caramel. It works great. You have to use less cause it is sweeter and thinner than corn syrup. I played with the recipe a couple of times to get the portions just right.

Question

With the amount of ingredients that are in the recipe, how many can it serve?

Depends on your tolerance. ;)
