Other THC Gummy Recipes
As mentioned earlier we tried out a lot of different cannabis gummy recipes but loved the sour cherry flavored gummies. Although there are many varieties of cannabis gummies out there, you just have to find what you like.
The cannabis oil that was used in the recipe above was honey oil, but other cannabis oils can be used as well. Just simply substitute the oil in the recipe. This cannabis infused oil could be coconut oil, butter or MCT oil which all slightly impact the final product.
For example, using cannabis infused MCT oil will make the final gummies less dense, more clear and contain a more jelly-like texture similar to jello. Compared to if you were to use cannabis infused coconut oil like described next, the final gummies will be more dense and have a creamy texture instead of jelly like.

How To Store Your THC Gummies
The best way to keep your homemade cannabis gummies or any cannabis gummies is in your refrigerator located in an airtight container.
It's best to keep your cannabis gummies away from warm or bright places for more than an hour at a time. To ensure the potency of the cannabis stays locked in it is important to keep cannabis gummies in a cool, dark location.
Concluding Thoughts
No matter which edibles you make, it's always best to use the best quality cannabis in order to have the best quality edibles.
If you’re wanting to get your hands on the best bud, consider using a Grobo. Grobo is an automated grow box that uses deep water culture to grow plants efficiently. All you have to do is pick your plant, pick a grow recipe, and let the system take care of the rest!
However, if you're finding the cannabis oil edible recipes given above are too strong or potent and you're looking for cannabis infused gummy bears with a lower potency consider using AVB. AVB or already vaped bud can be used to make infused oil less potent that may be ideal for some users.
