OK, what am I doing wrong with my salve?

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.
