Ended up with 2.7g after decarb on the keif. Gotta do the math before I make budder.
Since I had the Nova out I also decarbed some gdp (left) and skunk. I set a fresh nug by a sample of each for comparison.
So I have this, then another few grams of second run keif. It still looked more yellow than green (still close to first run quality) I think because some of the leaves weren't completely dry, and I got more fresh stuff after they did. The leftover trim is waiting on me to get a bottle of everclear and see what I can get out of it.
WARNING! I ate a nug about an hour ago - no telling where this will go! LOL
I used to try infusions with the herb, but there is always waste/loss. The buds you see will ease your pain as is - the rest is to make it palatable. I like the actual taste of the decarbed flowers. So once I figure out the rough strength of it (based on how it hits me) I have a table that shows grams of THC and percentages and whatnot.
For example: good, frosty, well handled homegrown will generally get you the advertised THC for those seeds or that strain.
If it is 20% THC that means that 1 gram of flower contains 200mg of THC. It's all math and dosage from there once you figure it out.
For me a 'dose' is what I have figured to be 50mg. (whether or not it is or not, it works)
If I guestimate it at 20% based on the advertised compared to how well I grew it, .25g = 50mg
If it puts me on my ass, 25%, and .2g = 50mg.
So I just weight it before I use it, and add it to food as is or just eat a nug.
The reason I do budder is that the THC content of keif is anywhere from 40% to 75% (or more) it's not 100%, just because of the weight of the glands themselves holding the THC - so it gets down to how fat AND how potent your trichomes were. So one gram of primo first run could have 750mg/g. To be safe and have easy math I count mine as 50% or 500mg/g then see how it affects me. But a dose of 1mg having 50mg (or 75) means that dosing is just harder to try and use the keif as is. Also because the keif doesn't need to be strained.
Since I'm here and can't get up right now
I'll figure out the budder-math. I was going to write it down anyway.
50% = 500mg/g x 2.7g = 1350mg
1350mg / 50mg doses = 27 doses.
I have 15 dose 'magic-budder' silicone molds that hold 10mg in each dose so 270mg of butter right?
BUT (glad I am doing this or I would have forgotten again) last time I found out that my NOVA sleeve doesn't hold that much.
But what will fit goes back in and you just hit the button again and let it cycle.
But that's how I do the math after decarb. I'll either do this in batches, or halve the amount of butter and just cut the things in half after they are solid.
