Fuck butter! I just made 2 batches of brownies this past weekend (yeah, I'm like that) and I tried butter the first time and oil the second time.
My findings:
Both got me high AS FUCK. Higher than smoking bud ever can, love that shit.
BUT, I got higher off of less qty of bud using the oil and the brownies were edible. The butter was so disgusting that the brownies came out tasting like weed-funk nasty shit like I've had a few times from dispensaries.
the oil came out clean and smooth and got me so fuckin' high and only took me 40 minutes to make vs the hours it took to make butter.
So if you are planning to use the butter for brownies, my friend, oil is the way to go.
To me it's the biggest treat to growin' your own green is that you can make edibles and you don't feel as though they cost an arm and a leg.
I'm glad this harvest worked out for you, I know that you put a long time and a lot of hard work into it and it's good that it finally paid off.
I'll be starting one up here in a week or so. I have a new grow area and I'm going to gather up some more equipment. One of these days we gotta get together and medicate.

I have one more batch to try, and that's going to be sort of a mixture of both and this is how I plan on doing it........
Important thing to note....oil is used for boxed brownie mixes, butter is used for brownies made from scratch.
So oil brownies....
1) Your favorite boxed brownie mix.
2) usually 1/2 cup of oil, but whatever the box calls for. Actually if the box calls for 1/2 cup, I would go ahead and start with 3/4's cup, you lose some in the process.
3) Ganja...I know, how much? Right? I would say for a 1/2 cup of oil at the finish you'll want about 7-10 grams of your buds. Not much at all, but if you want to see jesus you can definitely up this #, but hold on tight. If you use your trimmings and/or shake, go for a full ounce, it really is much weaker than buds are.
Your going to start out by pouring the oil into a jar (just like the jars for curing) and place that jar inside a pot of hot water. Making sort of a double - boiler. Get the water to where it just boils and then back it down a notch and add all the ganja. Let it simmer in there stirring occasionally for about 3-4 hours.
Strain it using a strainer and cheesecloth. The cheesecloth and how much to use is really kind of an experience thing. I used to use too large of a sheet and it would soak up all my oil! Now I strain through about two layers of cheesecloth and try to use as little as possible. But you have to get that oil as clean as possible, so do what you gotta do.
You're going to pour the hot mixture into yet another jar, through the strainer and cheesecloth and pour all of the plant material into the cheesecloth and hold it like a diaper. You might want to wear rubber gloves for the next part...squeeze all of the oil out of the cheesecloth into the jar.
Now just go cook your brownies with the oil.
If you don't want it to take 3-4 hours (which I didn't) you can put the oil into a pan on the stove, heat the oil and add the ganja, but you again have to make sure it's not hot enough to be "boiling". If it's boiling it will turn brown and burn all your THC off. That's why I like the double-boiler, but it can be done the other way...just understand that hotter CERTAINLY isn't better. That way needs about 40 minutes, then the rest is the same.
That's going to make about 12 - 16 brownies depending on how you cut them. I ate two brownies and got good and fucked up. My homie ate 8....he was just passed out.
So experiment with it, enjoy it and hit me up if you want me to write it out bettter, I'm just rambling without any kind of organization...haha.

Thanks for the +rep.
I dont know the weight, as I dont own a scale.. kind of unfortunate I have to be weary of having a scale in my house.
I am going to borrow one tonight though and ill let everyone konw. I'm starting to think I may have jarred them a tad early as now that I jarred them they feel a little moist again. Hopefully while I continue "burping" the jars they dry from the inside out.
I still havn't even smoked any, believe it or not. I've been puffing away on my pre-mature buds I picked off, with a little bit of finger hash on top for some kick.
We'll see. maybe i'll go smoke one right now and report back. ya, ill do that...

Hey Laser!! I've been missing everyone. My PC took a dump so im using a borrowed laptop.
I built a T5 veg box and had 25 clones in there. I went to the lake for a week and asked a friend to water. I came back and a couple were completely dead and the rest I could care-less about.
In order to start a new grow I need cuts. I'd rather wait on cuts then go through the clinic but until then, thats my delay...cuttings. I want to grow 18 in my room instead of 12 this time, just gotta source some cuts.
I hope everyone is doing well
Peace
