So I've got over a OZ in trimmings/popcorn buds. Butter or hash?

Like the title says, I've got over an ounce of trimmings and popcorn buds jammed in a mason jar and I don't know what to do with it. I'm wondering if I should make isohash or butter. For some reason my butter made from trimmings never works that well even though theyre pretty frosty. So isohash seems like the easiest/smartest solution cause I dont have a screen or bubble bags.

Should I give the butter another go or see how much hash I can squeeze out of it? I know it's mainly preference but I'm stumped

If you do ISO make sure it's as high alcohol content as you can get. 97% is the lowest I would use.

Butter is super easy. It's pretty efficient if you do it right.
oz of sugary trim and popcorn will get you about 56 good servings.

for an oz of trim and popcorn... dry it out really good. break it up over the pan you will simmer it in. So the trichs that fall off land in the pot.
Dump 2 qts water into the pan. bring it to a boil
Add 1/3 lb butter (REAL BUTTER, margarine will NOT work.)
Add 1 oz trim
bring back to a boil, then set to a lower heat.
simmer for 1 hour, stirring occasionally
strain through cheese cloth into a large bowl
squeeze the last of the butter out of the matter/cheesecloth (be careful VERY hot) (if you have one of those fine metal strainers (colander)... that works well. just put force down on the butter soaked material with the bottom of a bowl to not burn yourself and to get the last of the butter out.)
put large bowl with green water and butter mixture in refrigerator over night
butter will harden and rise to the top, water sits at the bottom
pull the solid butter off the top, discard the water.
should make about 56 good doses. Or 28 fetal position experiences.

Bubble or dry ice hash. Fuck solvents

I'll have to google the dry ice method and check that out

Not gonna lie, 28 fetal position experiences sounds pretty nice haha. Idk I have tried to make butter for my fiance a few times and I always enjoy it but it doesn't do much to her so she prefers hash. I'd like to change her mind though. I used all my trimmings from last batch to make oil (using vegetable oil) and it didn't really work out the best for some reason. I guess I used too much oil.

Maybe more like 20 fetal positions for tolerant folks.

Yeah, I don't know how oil would work. Butter works great. If you haven't tried the cannabutter method, give it a try sometime. You won't be disappointed. But you have to use real butter. I know I have heard of many people trying margarine and saying it didn't work out well for them. Margarine, I believe, is mostly just oil.

Honey oil is butane extracted hash, btw.

That looks like good trim. Nice.

You can also make water ice hash without the bags...

It basically blender hash... but using a bucket works better as you have a smooth surface to collect the hash off of the bottom. In a blender = waste.

Just let the mix, ice and trim soak for about 39 mins so it gets real cold.
Take a electric mixer or paint mixer to it for 10 - 15 mins or so, let it sit for about 45 mins.
pull the floating plant matter off the top, carefully. a little colander helps.
let it settle again for an hour minimum ...
then slowly siphon the water out, not disturbing the hash on the bottom.
carefully get as much water as you can out until you have goop
scrape the goop off the bottom of the bucket.
spread onto a nonstick surface to dry.

That sounds pretty easy actually. I guess my main question now is what would I gain more from I guess. 20 really good times with some butter, or how many grams of hash you think I could get off that trim? I only jarred the real frosty stuff and 20% of its lil buds.

I would say you get more bang with the butter. basically, .5 gram of trim makes a good dose, 1 gram makes a very very strong dose. If your girl doesn't catch a good buzz on a .5 gram dose, that's crazy, but give her a 1g dose. No fucking way she isn't completely railed on that. The high lasts a long time as well. I am thinking something went wrong with your canna oil. With the cannabutter method followed as above, nothing will go wrong.

As far as grams of hash... not sure. My ice bucket hash batches have been pretty unorganized. I would guess maybe 3 grams of medium purity hash. assuming that you pull it off... it is all about letting the trichs settle. so if the trichs are not settled when you siphon and/or remove the floating trim... you are going to throw out part of your yield. The last bit of water is pretty tough to get out without disturbing the settled trichs. After you do it once though, you get a feel for how it is done.

I vote cannabutter. Just follow that recipe. 28-56 doses. I've never had any complaints.
My last batch used 1.16 grams matter per serving, so just a little bit stronger. Most people who eat them are saying 1/3 of one cookie is perfect for still being able to function. I personally eat about 1/4 of a cookie. If you turned the oz into 20 doses, like you said... thats 1.4 grams per serving. You will be fucking wrecked, promise. Try it out.

Yea man, I love digesting THC, I've had great experiences in the past with butter and oil. I like the long lasting effect, and I had some muffins one time that honestly gave me closed eye visuals, and that has never once happened with weed for me. I enjoy hash as well though haha. Maybe I'll half and half it? I'd be stoked on a gram of hash and a powerful batch of brownies.

No problem. Your trim looks like it's the good stuff, so, you should get a lot of giggles out of it.

If you have the patience and room in your refrigerator,.... when you make the ice bucket hash... after getting the matter out and before you do the siphon... if you sit the bucket in your refrigerator and let it settle for many hours (or even over night), you'll get a little bit less waste/more yield. Just remove the bucket very carefully as to not disturb trichs. Maybe let it settle for a little while more after you have it in position to siphon. Just want to keep that water cold and the trichs settled. You'll have some waste when getting out the last of the water regardless. You'll see what I mean.

Good luck.

You could also make some green dragon with some everclear or 151 bacardi. You could probably make a good 5 oz of finished product if you do everything correctly. Check out Dr. Wu's Green Drgaon on google. You would get more than 100 doses out of that I believe, but I might be wrong there. For your woman, make a simple firecracker to give her a definitive taste of edible cannabis. I make them out of mids and they still work great for me. Preheat your oven to 215 degrees F. Spread some ALL NATURAL peanut butter on 6 or 8 ritz crackers. Finely grind up about 2g of weed and sprinkle it on half of the crackers, then place a cracker without weed on top of each one to make little peanut butter cracker sandwiches. Wrap each cracker up in some tin foil and place it in the oven for an hour. Let her eat a few of these and she won't be able to deny edibles any more. Then you can make your cannabutter!

Dude, very nice ideas. I actually made peanut butter crackers awhile back but forgot about them! Your right, those worked great. And I forgot about that green dragon too, my buddy told me about it awhile back. Never tried it though so I'm thinkin I may give that a go. Too many options haha! I guess I must try all 4 then haha I don't mind to use a lil good bud either

Thanks man. Finding new ways to use my favorite plant is as much fun as getting high and growing. I just love all things cannabis. Use the good bud for the green dragon. It doesn't take much and it should last you a long time.

Some dude told me about this exact recipe a while back. I thought he was just making shit up. Haha. I gotta try this. I can't eat 2g's though. Damn. 1/2 g kicks my ass.

Yea man, it works great. Peanut oil has a higher fat content than other oils so it's able to absorb more THC. I ended up just eating the weedy peanut butter haha. Chase it down with milk and your set.
