thats beautiful

Hey guys, I could use your help again. I was wondering if this would be enough bud for 1 stick of butter, or at least enough butter for a batch of brownies. And if it's only enough for brownies, how much butter would I make with that?

To the left are the leaves, and to the right is whats left of the buds, which I would say are pretty dank, but not the best I've ever had.

I just don't want to waste my buds on brownies that will be weak anyway. This being my first time attempting to do anything but smoke buds, I wouldn't know the proportions.

how much oil will i need if i use one ounce of marijuana?

wen u are making say brownies can u just use the box stuff? or do u have to make them from scratch? and if u use the box stuff wat do substitute hte canna butter for?

When I make brownies, I use betty crocker or something like it. They are just as good to me and a lot less hassel.

I go here for my oil to butter conversions and vice versa.
Ciao Italia - Olive Oil Conversion Chart

well tonight i put 14 grams of trim into 90 ml of olive oil (recipe called for 60ml) put the oil in the pan let it heat to around 300-330 (hard to get an accurate reading with a small amount) put in the trimmings witch where finally ground. After they simmered for 15 min i strained n made the brownies, ill post back how they where when i eat them.

I've looked at several Bud Butter recipes online and have to say, BobBong's seems the most comprehensive.

The only things I am wondering about are:

1) Pre-cook: many recipes suggest you pre cook your cannabis for five minutes in the oven before adding it to the butter (converts the THCA into THC apparently)

2) Cook Times: 24 hours seems excessive and this seems to be the only recipe I can find that suggests anything more than 2 hours. What happens in that extra 22 hours to make the butter better?

And that's it!! I'll be putting on the chef's cap in a few weeks and will report back.

El Fantistico

2-1/2 sticks butter clarified
1 ounce reggie(given to me)
Ground with hand herb grinder
12hrs crockpot on low.
strained with cheese cloth.
ended with 3/4 cups solid butter(1-1/2 sticks)

stone report on that ? if it's good then im makeing the same but with an oz of good weed.

idk what gets me about these bubble bag extractions and budder recipes lol im just afraid of wasteing good quality smoke.. but i need the better quality smoke because i smoke so dam much of this.

Question:

if i am going to use 14grams (1/4oz) should i only use 1/2 a stick of butter? to get the same results?

last time i checked 14 grams is a 1/2 oz......

I'm making my second batch ever of cannabutter right now. I filled my Crockpot halfway with water then added 4 sticks of butter. Once that melted I added about 11 grams of high grade bud, 4 grams or so of regs and a mason jars worth of seeds and stems(with lots of bits of bud still attached). All of which I ran through my new coffee grinder. I figure I'll let it go for at least 3 hours as that is what I did last time and it turned out phenomenal. Even though I used an ounce of reg bud last time I tried I still think this batch will be a lot more potent. Will post pics and follow up later.

I take the clippings from the plants and boil that in water and add the butter then drain it and press out all the oils left in the leaves and such. makes great shit. im talkin green tinted butter.

How long do you leave the mixture on the heat for?

for about 15 min or some med high heat boiling . .

Oh my god guy's. Totally forgot this thread. Man that butter was crazy.
Still can't see very well

OK, I have a small cheap crockpot. I want to make cannabis oil (only because it keeps longer and doesn't need to be fridgerated). What exactly do I have to do to make cannabis oil? I don't want to waste an ounce of weed (no access to trimmings, shwag, shake, etc.)

What heat setting?
How long?
More time = more potency?
Which is the best oil to use? Coconut? Canola?

lol, I don't know about all these recipe's I've only ever done it one way. I take what ever Herb I wanna use, usually around 3 8ths, grind it in my coffee grinder, makes it super fine, then I use one stick of butter. I melt the butter in a small pan, then put the powdered herb in, I keep it barely on a simmer, I don't want to boil it so It doesn't burn or have much evaporation. I simmer it for 30 to 40 mins, then I use the entire mis in my ready mix brownies purchased in a box at any store. I make the brownies exactly like the box says, except I add the melted butter. After they're done cooking, it's crazy! Last time it made 8 huge brownies, the ones that are in my thread about calling 911 on myself. One quarter of a brownie was enough to put me totally out of my mind. Anyway, that's all I've ever done. I learned how from reading all the threads. Only difference in what I do, is I never strain the cannabis after it's done, I just mix everything with the brownies. Have a great week end!
Howto

also, don't eat too much, it takes me and my friends over an hour before they really kick in, so wait an hour before you eat more, imo

hey, a friends got a load of stalks leftover from growing hydroponics, can we use them to make butter or anything?
thanks!

Crockpot on low
add 4 - 6 sticks butter and melt down,
add herb, she used 1/4 oz of high grade Sour Deisel.... ground with Space Case
stir and mix lightly until saturated.

She warned that there would be an uncomfortable odor during the saute of the herb, so be cautious as necessary for your living arrangement.

After 8 hours strain the mixture through one of those wire mesh type strainers, and then again through cheese cloth... or I guess your favorite strain method.

Melt down another 4 - 6 sticks of butter and add back the material for another run through.

Obviously the first run melted down most of the trichomes, but I guess there is a "low octane" version that comes from the second meltdown and strain off.

Thought it was a good idea to have "high" and "low octane" butter... you may be have it with your toast in the morning.

Knowing these guys they probably used the left over material for something but that was not discussed.

I will be test driving this in the next few weeks so I'll update then...

i have some canna butter and a brownie mix i want to use but it says 1/3 cup oil how much butter should i put in? 1/3 cup butter?

first of all...new here..hello fellow burners.

Now..instead of making canabudder and cooking for 24 hours....coudn't I just add the herbal powder to my brownie mix and bake the mix??? Wouldn't that activate the thc???

Oh dude above me....you sub the oil for budder...no oil!

Last time I made c-butter it was with 1 oz dried fan leaves & 1/2 oz vapo-poo into 1/2 lb clarified butter. I did it (with water) in a small slow cooker for 3 hours. A tablespoon of the stuff will disassemble you.

And pardon me for bragging, but I thought it was kind of funny: first time I tried the stuff, I figured I'd do a tablespoon (had no idea what to expect in terms of potency). I eyeballed it & chopped off what I figured would be a tablespoon. Then I thought, best check & see how accurate my eyeballed measurement is. Got out my scale & weighed what I had cut - .502 oz.

I was off by two thousandths of an ounce.
