Put your buds in the jars for about 8 hours, then check and see how moist they are. If they are limp and wet again, dump them into a paper bag for 8 hours, with the top of the bag folded over. Once they're dry again, put them back into the jars with lids tight. Check again in 8 hours. If wet...

Yes, it contains water and solids that will increase the chance of it turning rancid, according to what I've read. The THC is infused in the solid disks of butter and oil that you have any loss of stuff on the bottom will contain minimal THC, if any at all. However JustanOT is a cannabutter...

I thought it was funny that the Stoner's Cookbook says to use salted butter, because "it has a higher smoke point". I completely agree with you, I like the idea of unsalted butter. http://www.thestonerscookbook.com/how_to_make_cannabutter.php Thanks JustanOT for sharing your experience and...

From the stonerscookbook.com and virtually every other site I've read - "Raw cannabis contains a lot of THCA which is not psychoactive (and what's the fun in that?). When you smoke weed, the THCA molecule loses its carboxylic group (COOH) in the form of water vapor and carbon dioxide and...

Vostok - Do you decarb your bud before microwaving it? Or do you think it's getting adequately decarbed during the 5 min microwave blast? Seems like you might not be getting all the THC converted unless you have more time on the proper temp for decarb.

One last thing, if you're into cooking you know that you can't use butter to saute without risking it getting too hot and burning. Clarified butter or ghee allow you to use it instead of cooking oil at higher temps than you can use whole butter. That's about all it know... as JustanOT says, the...

Clarified butter is made by heating your cubes in a sauce pan until they're fully melted, then simmer lightly as the butter separates into 3 layers - water on the bottom, the butter/oil in the middle, and milk solids rise to the top. You skim off the milk solids and you have clarified butter...

JustanOT - thanks for the great info and your experience on making cannabutter. I'm going to try my first attempt with a single stick of butter with 7 - 8 gram of last years buds. My goal is to make a killer batch of brownies that I can keep in the freezer and use for nights when I can't sleep...

I've been reading a bunch about brownies and making cannabutter so I have some input for you. The butter/weed/boiling water methods for creating cannabutter I've read say to boil the water with 1 cube butter cut up, turn down the heat to low or med low, then add your weed. Be sure your weed is...

Last year I removed the Boveda packs from about half my jars after a few months. The jars that still have the packs smell better, taste smoother, and the buds look fresher. Just my opinion based on my experience...

If you post a pic of the plant(s), we can give you better advice. As mentioned above, you want there to be virtually 0% clear, 80-90% cloudy and the rest amber. But the key is how do your plants and buds look, are there any straight, white pistils showing anywhere? If so, you need to wait until...

One more thing about the packs. I try not to bury them in buds. I tend to either tape them to the inside of the lid (so they hang down) or stand the pack up on top of the buds. I do this to minimize surface contact with the buds, although I've never noticed them affecting the taste of the buds...

As others have mentioned, if it's not too late, post some pics of the whole plant(s). Sometimes trichs don't tell the whole story.

Well you certainly got your feet wet. I bet you feel like you learned a tremendous amount this summer which will only help you next season. You can't turn you back on your buds once they go into the jars, even if you use the Boveda packs. I was opening my jars daily for at least 3 weeks but I...

The first time is most difficult because you don't want to overdry your buds so if you're like me, you jarred the bud too soon (well it sure felt dry), only to find out later that day or the next that it was moist as hell again. Try the paper bag method if the buds in the jars are too moist...

Most of us put the Boveda packs right in the jar. One small pack is all you need in a quart jar and it looks like you have maybe a pint sized jars, so definitely no more than one pack per jar.

Does anyone know of any technical, botanical articles that confirm that night or dark harvest results in starches retreating to the roots and this being beneficial to the final product? I've been trying to find confirmation of this detail online and can't find it.

Looks like something I used this summer during the veg state, but I would NOT recommend it during flower. The smell is quite strong when you spray it on heavy AND don't forget what OIL based products due to trichomes.

I can verify that the taste, smokeability and especially the buzz get better with time. I remember reading one time that really dried out buds were more potent which I thought was the dumbest thing I'd ever heard. Then I remembered the dried up crap I've had in my truck for months that's dry as...

I've seen a couple of stories here about guys finding old paper bags that have buds they forgot about, and it's still been in pretty good shape months later. It may not be an ideal or recommended solution, but if you want more info, you may want to search the forum for paper bag and cardboard...
