How to Make 1000 Perfectly Even Gummies
(the commercial-style method we use for dead-on dosing every single time)
This is the bulletproof, scale-up recipe that gives 1000 gummies at exactly 5 mg THC each (5000 mg total batch). No weak corners, no 8 mg “oops” pieces.
Decarboxylation
25–26 g flower @ 22–25 % THC (or 13 g good kief)
240 °F for 40 minutes in sealed mason jars → ~5000 mg usable THC
Infusion (maximum extraction)
2½ cups (570 g) refined coconut oil or MCT + 3 tbsp liquid sunflower lecithin
Melt to 170 °F → add decarbed material → 185 °F sous-vide 24 hours
Strain hard through 90-micron bag while hot → crystal-clear 5000 mg THC oil
Gummy Recipe (yields exactly 1000 × 5 ml gummies)
Liquid phase
4 cups (960 ml) cold water or fruit juice
1½ cups (360 ml) light corn syrup or honey
100 ml flavor extract (citrus, berry, etc.)
Dry phase
20 pouches (500 g) unflavored gelatin (50 g per pouch is standard)
2 tsp citric acid (optional, for sour)
Steps
1. Bloom gelatin: sprinkle all 500 g gelatin over the 4 cups cold liquid. Let sit 10 minutes (it will look like wet sand).
2. Warm corn syrup + THC oil + flavor to 160 °F in a large pot.
3. Add bloomed gelatin → whisk over medium heat until 165–170 °F and completely dissolved (5–8 minutes). Do not boil.
4. Remove from heat → whisk in citric acid if using.
5. Pour into a restaurant-grade 4-liter dispenser bottle with pump (the kind caterers use for coffee).
Calibrate pump to exactly 5 ml per stroke (most are adjustable).
6. Pump exactly one stroke into each cavity of ten 100-cavity silicone molds (1000 total).
7. Let set at room temp 45–60 minutes → move to fridge 30 minutes to firm completely.
8. Pop out → dust lightly with cornstarch or citric-sugar mix.
9. Package immediately in airtight containers.
Dosing
5000 mg ÷ 1000 gummies = 5 mg exact per gummy
Every single one.
Storage
Airtight jars → 2 months room temp
Fridge → 6 months
Freezer → 18+ months
Pro tips for perfect uniformity
- Use a calibrated pump dispenser (cheap on Amazon, $30). No ladles, no guessing.
- Weigh the finished liquid (should be ~2000 g) → if short, top up with hot water and re-whisk.
- Work fast once gelatin hits 170 °F → it sets quick.
This method is how the pros hit 5 mg ± 0.2 mg every single time.
Once you do it this way, you’ll never go back to pouring trays by hand.
1000 perfect gummies, zero drama.
