What am I doing Wrong???

You probably cooked it too long at 250 F, but there are a few other possibilities.
You might have a funny digestive system.
Maybe you didn't use enough. Every gram of herb used will supply about 150 mg thc, and some of us need that much.

There are a couple of things you might try.

BrassNwood's method:
(1) After decarb, grind to fine powder
(2) Mix herb, oil (any reasonable amount), and about the same amount of lecithin as weed, and heat for 20 min @ 220 F
(3) Freeze for a few hours then thaw
(4) Heat again for 20 min @ 220 F, then use without straining

The Ardent infusion method:
(1) Mix decarbed herb powder with oil and lecithin in a small beaker that will fit into Ardent Lift/Nova
(2) Run Lift/Nova a second time with the mixture
(3) Use without straining

I'm testing the Ardent method now, and early indications are that it MIGHT work as well as BNW's method. I might go with it even if it's a bit weaker, because it's so easy.

 

Saying you pour some pot into some oil and scoop out some to eat doesn't tell us much. You need to tell us how much pot you're actually eating so measure how many grams of weed you add to a measured amount of oil and measure how much oil you actually eat. Perhaps you're just not eating enough. Your decarb method should be working just fine, some prefer to decarb the bud before adding to the oil but I decarb mine after it's oil as you're doing.

 

THC is an oil so you should be absorbing it okay. I guess some people may absorb oil easier than others but we should be all about the same as long as our livers, gallbladders, and intestines are normal. It doesn't sound like you have enough to experiment with but if you can, take increasingly larger doses until it works. Take twice the amount that didn't work and go from there. Lecithin may help THC work faster but it shouldn't make it more potent. I think the faster pot is absorbed the better it works (and the sooner it fades) and that's the advantage of lecithin, it separates the oil into smaller globs.

 

I just measured a few small buds and got values around 0.3 grams.
Such a bud would contain about 45 mg thc for 15% herb.
If inefficiently incorporated into the oil, you might've only gotten half of that, or around 20 mg.

I've seen estimates that thc from edibles is absorbed at about 10% efficiency.
Although the thc potency of correctly decarbed herb can't be increased, that 10% number can be increased by some processing.
Good edible recipes, like BrassNwood's, increase the 10% number.
Worse edible recipes won't increase it as much.

 

Yeah I am keeping an eye out for their next sale, my bro and I are going to split the cost and just each use it when we need to but this seems to make the whole infusion process so simple and I like the consistency.

When you are infusing with the ardent, are you still doing the freeze cycle after?

 

I've done the freeze for 1 strain, but not for another. It probably doesn't matter.
I'm still testing the Ardent infusion, and don't have reliable results yet.

 

Thanks, definitely will be interested to see how it goes after you get some testing in

 

You invested big bucks in the Nova and the lab grade hardware, now spend $15 on a digital scale.
Measure how much weed your are putting in the oil, then report back with X amount of weed consumed produced these results.
You are on the right path, but without knowing how much you are ingesting, the answer will be elusive.

1/4 gram will work for most without being too overwhelming. However some need less and others need a whole lot more.
