Pro tip: Add 1tsp per lb of butter sunflower leciten when you add the herb. Works as an emulsifier that helps bind the thc to the fats.

My advice would be:

  1. Really the only thing that would help with potency would be to add some lecithin.

    Which would not actually increase potency, but makes it bioavailable and able to pass through cell membrane. So, with lecithin, it will hit you faster and you body will be able to process more of the cannabanoids because it's not having to be processed through any organs (i.e. liver).

    As far as the quantity of lecithin goes, I have never been able to get a concrete answer, with data to back it up, about the ratio of lecithin to hash oil.

    But I will say that I have seen 2 different medical marijuana processing lab's recipes for tincture calling for almost a 1:1 ratio (one called for 1200g lecithin to 1400g hash oil). I've read a few reputable forum's that state the close to 1:1 ratio for hash oil to lecithin as well.

    All that being said the lecithin is almost certainly (as in every type I've tried) going to effect the color, consistency and taste of the final product.

    My advice on lecithin would be once you have evaporated as much ethonal off as you want, to add as much lecithin as you feel comfortable with. Even a little bit is going to help and you can't really put to much in (unless you are putting more lecithin than the rest of the tincture by weight, which would be noticeably a lot).

    2.Do not strain it. The main reason anyone strains edibles is to remove the plant matter. Which if using bho there should be none.

  2. Once it has been decarbed it is (almost >90%) entirely active cannabanoids. So letting it sit is going to make a negligible difference.

    Last 3 tips.

  3. I add a little bit of honey to give it a more tolerable taste.

  4. Use low heat to homogenize the mixture, after adding lecithin, or just add the lecithin and stir while it's warm.

  5. Adding the lecithin is going to either increase the portion size or decrease the potency per volume.
    This is simply because the added lecithin will increase the overall volume.
    So a 10ml serving of tincture without lecithin has more room for cannabanoids than a 10ml serving of tincture with lecithin.

    TLDR; adding lecithin (up to an almost 1:1 ratio) will help the tincture hit you faster and prevent your liver and digestive system from destroying precious cannabanoids, No need to strain it, and no need to let it sit once it has been decarbed.

    PM me if you need any clarification, but the process you have laid out will certainly work.

    Edit: looks like amazon no longer sells the lecithin I use (Piping Rock liquid sunflower lecithin).
    But here is a good alternate.

    I advise getting it from an online retailer, since it is hard to find anywhere, but potentially health food stores.

    My suggestion is to stick with liquid lecithin as opposed to granules and to get sunflower as opposed to soy lecithin.

    A lot of people have negative reactions to soy based lecithin, this is likely due to them being made from GMO soy beans which are known for causing stomach discomfort of varying degrees.

It allows the THC to bind to the butter or oils better. Most professional bakers are using it now a days.. here's the exact one that I always use; https://www.amazon.com/Foods-Sunflower-Liquid-Lecithin-Ounce/dp/B00J8ET8IO/ref=sr_1_5_s_it?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1483742907&sr=1-5&keywords=sunflower+lecithin
theres alot of other kinds out there too. Just make sure you grab the liquid bottle and not the gel capsule pills, which I have mistakenly bought a few times lol..

From time to time but I experiment on my own a lot. I have even infused home made bread.

Always use the secret ingredient when infusing oils for that extra punch.
