OK, what am I doing wrong with my salve?

I use the formula

Grams x 1000mg= total mg

Total mg x percent of (thc/cbd)product used = total infusion to be disbursed

Total infusion / number of doses = mg per dose or product

That is the formula i currently use

I just do gummies? Not sure how helpful that is?
I would guess you could figure how many tins or containers or salve the batch you make fills and apply the number?

Please correct if im off

I havnt got into making salve at this point but a friend of mine does i remeber a conversation of absorbansy into the body and the carrier oils used that determin how your body takes in the thc/cbd?

My friend made wonder rub. It was awsome without any cbd or thc. And when it was infused even better.

Something to look in to

That’s odd. Shouldn’t it be % x 10 x grams for total mg?

90% distillate

90 x 10 = 900mg/ gram

U have to convert gram to mg
Multiplyimg times 1000 converts it

You covert % to mg multiplied by the amount of grams

This is very incorrect. This is assuming every gram is absolutely 100% thc which it’s not and you still wouldn’t multiply x 1000

You guys are going to confuse folks.

Math lesson 101…

If you were going to make a dozen salves… ( let’s keep to simple math )

And you wanted each salve to have 2 grams of CBD in it…

And your distillate was 90% CBD

12(cans) x 2 grams = 24 grams wanted or 24 x 1000 = 24000mg wanted

Now if you distillate was 90% pure… the correct math would be

24000mg ÷ (DEVIDED BY).90 = 26,667mg

26,667mg needed in your recipe…

If folks used your advice they’d come up short every time…

24000mg X .90 = 21,600

Common sense tells you this is wrong

Its multiplied by .9 not divided by .9

Oh my god nvm you do some what ass weird shit tonget to where you going

U have to get to one common unit. The desired goal is to calculate mg. So a conversion has to be done. What is the unknown is the %of what will be infused. Flower oil etc .
You cant use to different units of measurement

I have no clue what your argument even is at this point. Multiplying x 1000 makes no sense

I just showed my work and explained how that was wrong.

Show your crack head math, and prove me wrong!

In case you need more help.

LOL

This would be great, if it added Mct oil in grams vs ml.

1 ml of Mct does not equal 1 gram.

Agree, asking the analytical lab to do a matrix spike and matrix spike duplicate using your sample will at least get you some answers on how efficient their extraction of cannabinoids from your formula is.
