A few pics of the strained budder. Used sugar leaves from a bunch of different plants, and made it stronger than recommended. I used 1.6 oz to 3 sticks of butter. some say 1.5-1.8 to 1 LB(4 sticks) for trim like I did, so I bumped it up by putting in less butter. I am a little worried about how dark it is, but the thin layer left in the crocpot looked green so im guessing its just the plant color. (1st time making my own).. I only have a 2 level croc pot so it was @ 189F on low. Gonna have to look it up but I think that was a little hot. I believe I cooked away most of the water. When I came home it was all dark (pic) and had no loose liquid, maybe 5 liquid oz of butter juice, and rung out the trim in cheesecloth to get what you see in the pyrex dish. Pretty good amount after ringing that shit out. I looked after an hour in the fridge and it looked like a very thin layer of water. could still be settling, but I think It mostly evaporated. cant wait to give it a try:lol:

Some shots of the budder now that its all solid. Cut out that corner and drained all the liquid into that cup. Really not much water left out of a whole 19oz. Looks a lot greener today. Still havnt had any yet but I will be spreading on toast in a short while:hump:

Breakfast anyone? I tried out some of the butter yesterday and didn't really feel much. Ate it right after lunch and only had a little bit. Today Im starting off the day with 2 pieces of toast ^...Emptier stomach, and more. hopefully it hits me good.
It does not taste very good. Ill tell you that much.

Yesterday went alright with the butter, felt a buzz which to me feels like a light smoking buzz with less balance and weak legs. And I get the munchies like crazy. I swear I don't digest it right because it seems to come on strong for a second then just goes away.
Well this morning I decided to go with a PB+fluff with an icecube sized piece of butter as the 3rd layer. Helped cover up the shitty taste of the budder. And smoked about an hour after eating it. Felt it a lot more and even had that slightly paranoid feeling. I got up at one point and just walked back and forth in my room looking out 2 different windows. This cracked me up when I realized what I was doing. That's one of the main differences I see between smoking and ingesting. More laughing, weaker/tired, more forgetful, And I cant stop eating. lol people say it puts them to sleep, I think thats because of all the sugar crashes! Im convinced that those hotdog eating contest guys eat cannabudder before the events.

GW moments...lol its been a while.


Things are staring to cool off in my neck. Past few nights couldn't even keep the windows open. Buds are swelling, and the potted one is really frosting up nicely. And the smell!!! They are all starting to look and smell really nice.

24 hours later and its 68F...double yesterday morn. pretty wild "cold snap"...supposedly going to get up near 80 today. Only thing "bad" as of now, is the damn pine trees that are dropping there little popcorn kernel shell looking things, get all in the buds and make a mess. I try to shake the plants to get them off but they are glued!

I was about 12 when I got this cd and was blown away by this opening track...

Was getting sick of the taste of my budder so I made a batch of cookies with it. Came out pretty good, a lot better tasting than budder+peanutbutter 1:1 on bread. And just in case anyone was wondering the vape points of thc and other goodies I found this little bit on wiki...There are 483 identifiable chemical constituents known to exist in the cannabis plant,[15] and at least 85 different cannabinoids have been isolated from the plant.[16] The aromatic terpenoids begin to vaporize at 126.0 °C (258.8 °F),[17] but the more bio-active tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), cannabidiol (CBD) and cannabinol (CBN) do not vaporize until near their respective boiling points: THC 157 °C (315 °F),[18] CBD 160–180°C (320°F-356°F),[18] and CBN 185 °C (365 °F).[18]

So pretty much baking at 300 is safe, might lose some "smellgoods". but thc isn't going anywhere until 315.

Went out for a feed, they sure are swelling up, especially the "tiny" one. Have to take sideways pics to get the whole thing in one shot. Actually chopped 3 lower branches on the tiny because they were drooping. Not sure if from lack of light or what but they were just sagging like the buds were heavy as hell (they were not). Would say im entering the 5 week range of flowering. slow and steady!

Probly that nighttime effect, I only trimmed lower branches a few weeks ago, and those 3 from this last trip (no leaves ever)..I think the flash makes things look way better than they really are. bouncing back off all the trichs makes the buds look more swollen than they are...don't get me wrong they are nice, but taking nighttime pics makes them shine lol.

Im sure a lot of you have heard this song on the radio, I saw the video a little while back and fucking loved it. Just the way they fall through the ceiling and the funniness of the whole thing. Indian girl is kinda cute too. I don't see how people can hate on this song. Energetic with a good beat, Mozart didn't have lyrics either but people respect it. :eyesmoke: Although Mozart makes me want to relax, this shit will make you wanna get up and do something.:hump:

Finally got a bit of rain in the area, And as of now im thinking 2 weeks until potted one and 2 weeks more until the rest are done, Just an estimate, but they are hitting the home stretch!.... Ive been bumming now that my cookies are gone, the buzz lasted so much longer than smoking, and now Im feeling it in the lungs. I am getting older, it might be time for a change.

Went out for a feed, they are looking really nice. I am getting antsy:D....Had another lower branch bent down, don't know if its an animal or what. But its making me want to chop some insurance colas. Got some pics of the 3 in the forest and then an update on the babes at home. They are looking nice too. Potted one might get the chop in less than 2 weeks. others are a week or 2 behind that one. The tomatoes look so bad because I stopped watering them weeks ago and it hasn't rained much since then.

Last day of sep too, been a nice month! not much rain and mostly sunny days. As you can see the plants have been loving it. Had that one night where it got into the lower 30s but other than that its been ideal. Couple more weeks!!!:weed:

*the ones in the woods get maxsea, and the ones at home get Tigerbloom/growbig..
