For anyone having trouble maintaining temp. the best thing to use for budder is a crockpot on the low settng and leave overnight for about 12 hours. Wont boil over or run dry if you dump in some water and separate later. I strain with cheese cloth from the local grocery and re-melt then separate the block from the water and weigh portions for use in baking. My GF is now making some Dark Choco chunk cookies w sea salt and cannabudder, should be like a shotgun blast to the brainstem since I used all the trim from Several G-13 Gigabud and 2 automatic Hindu Kush into 5 sticks of butter. Super Dark green and no plant material at all. Will report if potent. Dried all the trim in a foil pan before cooking, stems, trim, popcorn, no main stalks or fans/stem leaves.

Depends on how long you will cook and how much you're making. I add enough water to just cover the leaf/material if the budder doesn't do it on its own. The amount of water will not have an effect on the potency wince u toss it out later anyway after you sep the hardened block

this may have been covered but i have 2 somewhat large male plants i was planning on throwing away. could i grind up the whole plants and make some butter? or will it be too weak? just curious, if not what can i do with those males (excluding pollen/experiment)

Seems like every day someone has a problem letting go of males! I'd chop em up and put them aside for your future budder batch. First off making less than a huge batch (5 qt. crockpot) is a total waste of the effort and 12 hours. I make 5 sticks-6 at a time and i use no less than 3 full sized female plants of trim and popcorn plus whatever else I have like stems, vaped weed and kief...its not an exact science. If I had males id add them but I SERIOUSLY doubt 2 males of small size will do anything at alll. Sorry dude, budder is awesome for a reason...it takes a shit ton of good material to make it worthwhile.

Hola, folks! Sorry for my absence yet again! Anywho, I'm back, so if anyone has any questions, feel free to ask away!

Also, I got a new grow going on that ya'll should check out. I'm growing my own strains that I have bred. After I do a bit more work with stabilizing the phenoms, the seeds will be available for sale via Colorado's Medical Marijuana program. So check it out! https://www.rollitup.org/grow-journals/292648-ars-grow-journal-four-new.html

hey so i tried making some butter last night. cooked a 1/2 stick of butter with about 70g wet trim for about 4 hours. then i put it in the fridge and its been in there for at least 14 hrs. and its still not hardened. whats the deal?

1/2 stick of butter and 70g of trim? There's no typo here? Wow... Let me touch on something real fast. Butter has a point of saturation. For example, if you take a glass of water, and begin stirring in teaspoons of sugar one by one, you will eventually reach a point where the sugar will no longer dissolve into the water, but instead, collect at the bottom. The same goes for the butter and THC; there are only so many sites on the fatty molecules for the THC to bind to. And with 70g of trim and only .5 stick of butter, I think you have surpassed this threshold.

Now then, to answer your question, I'm not exactly sure why the butter hasn't hardened. I'll list a few reasons that could cause your problem:

- The temperature of your refrigerator is not cold enough to allow the butter to re-solidify. Lower the temperature of your 'fridge via the dial in the back.
- Your ratio of butter to weed was off. You had so much pot in there that it could have absorbed the butter. Then, (this is a guess) you did not squeeze out the wet pot to collect it.
- Some other agent from the marijuana was pulled out into the water and, due to the butter/weed ratio, will not allow the butter to re-solidify.

Honestly, I would first check the temperature thing. You don't want to freeze the water, but you do need it pretty chilly. If that's not the issue, then I would take the water you have and boil 3/4-1 stick of butter in it for an hour or so. Also, make sure your using regular butter -- not some funky diet stuff, something with 'an added ingredient,' margarine, etc... GL

Shit... I just reread your post. Sorry, I'm kinda baked atm. I didn't notice you said wet trim. That's about an OZ of dry trim. That's not that too bad, but you still might want to use a whole stick of butter.

well fig this way the trim and air buds from 9 big blueberry plants should be enough for 5 really potent sticks of butter. At least thats what Id use as the ratio. As far as dose per brownie it depends on your recipe and how much butter is used but the more the better. Good look with it, if u think 5 is too much then def. 4 will do the trick. let us know the effects and your trim/butter ratio

Try to use only your good trim.
This is the easiest way to make butter, I dont know why people bother with hours of work when it is so simple
