Cannabis & Herb Calculators
Interactive calculation tools for decarboxylation kinetics, lipid infusions, ethanol extraction, and precise edible dosing.
1. Potency & Edible Dosing
Calculate active milligrams, serving sizes, and batch scaling across butter and oil infusions.
THC & CBD Potency Calculator
Calculates total active cannabinoids, concentration in mg/ml, and exact mg per portion applying the 0.877 decarb conversion ratio and carrier absorption efficiency.
Edible Dosage Calculator
Inverse dosing calculator: enter your target dose per serving (e.g. 5 mg or 10 mg) to determine required raw flower weight and infused oil volume.
Cannabutter Calculator
Determine butter-to-flower ratios, accounting for water evaporation loss during clarification and lipid transfer efficiency.
Edibles-Rechner (Deutsch)
Berechne aktive Cannabinoide (THC/CBD) in mg pro Portion unter Beruecksichtigung von 0,877 Decarb-Faktor und Extraktions-Effizienz.
Edibles Calculator (Nederlands)
Bereken het aantal mg THC per portie met de 0,877 THCA-decarboxylatiefactor en specifieke extractie-rendementen per dragerolie.
2. Decarboxylation & Activation Kinetics
Thermal conversion of acidic precursors (THCA and CBDA) into psychoactive and bioavailable neutral forms.
Decarboxylation Temperature and Time Chart
Laboratory-verified decarboxylation times and temperatures from 95C to 160C, detailing the 0.877 molar mass ratio and terpene preservation thresholds.
Sous Vide Decarboxylation Guide
Times, temperatures, and water bath protocols for sealed, zero-odor decarboxylation with maximum terpene retention.
3. Carrier Lipids & Infusions
Extraction efficiencies, solubility dynamics, and lipid binding thresholds across edible carriers.
Best Oils for Cannabis Infusion: What Works
Comprehensive lab data comparing extraction efficiencies of Coconut Oil (73-80%), MCT Oil, Clarified Butter, and Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
Cannabis Coconut Oil Recipe
Step-by-step master infusion method with verified ratios, temperature control, and fine filtration guidelines.
Vegan Cannabis Gummies
Agar-agar and pectin gummy formulation with sunflower lecithin emulsification to prevent cannabinoid separation.
4. Solvent Extractions & FECO
Ethanol washes, winterization recovery, and solvent evaporation protocols.
How to Make FECO (Full Extract Cannabis Oil)
Sub-zero food-grade ethanol extraction, winterization, and clean alcohol recovery for concentrated botanical resin.
Why Time Matters in Cannabis Extractions
Explains why rapid sub-zero washes extract pure trichomes while long macerations pull undesirable chlorophyll and plant waxes.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the potency calculator multiply THCA by 0.877?
During decarboxylation, the carboxyl group (COOH) is released as carbon dioxide gas. The molar mass of THCA is 358.47 g/mol, while neutral THC is 314.46 g/mol. Dividing 314.46 by 358.47 yields exactly 0.8772 (87.7%). Any calculator that ignores this factor overestimates raw flower potency by 14%.
Which carrier oil provides the highest cannabinoid extraction efficiency?
Medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) and refined coconut oil consistently yield the highest recovery rates (between 73% and 80%) because their saturated fatty acid chains dissolve non-polar cannabinoids more effectively than unsaturated oils.
How can I avoid bitter taste and chlorophyll in homemade extractions?
Keep both your plant material and food-grade ethanol freezing cold (-20C) before mixing, and keep the wash time under 3 to 5 minutes. Cold temperatures prevent plant waxes and water-soluble chlorophyll from dissolving into the alcohol.
Decarboxylate and infuse at a steady temperature
A countertop infusion machine holds a set temperature through decarboxylation and infusion, so butter or oil is made without watching the stove.
