I've still got about 2 pounds of leaf and pop corn buds in paper bags. Today I pulled them out to rotate the leaves again and I spotted a small dot of mold on a bud. I laid out news paper and spread the trimmings and buds out to dry quicker. I was trying to quick cure in paper bags to get rid of chlorophyll as it really is discernible in the butter and oils. I made a mistake of not turning the leaves over yesterday and allowing the bags to air... I know it's only leaf and pop corn, but it's loaded with trichs and it is going to make me a lot of butter and tinctures. I'd rather not have to handle moldy bud and leaf to make a tincture, if you know what i mean.

I'm on it :)

I'm currently doing a second trim on buds and they look great.. the RH in cure jars is about 68% right now.... right where I want it..

I found them on eBay for $3.99 each... they work great and they have a calibrator on back.. I look at my two digital, adjust the analogs, and toss them in jars...

Yum!

As promised, here are some pics of some of my canna butter goodies. If I get enough responses, I'll gladly do a picture tutorial and create a new thread on Eats. This is my first time working with glaze and it's kinda tricky. I need some design ideas and a better tool to drip with.

I think the vanilla and chocolate glazes go well with brownies. I also need to work on skilling up on dipping. You can create some neat effects, like latte art.

I used a mini brownie bites silicon mold from Wilton's. The brownie mix was simple, Duncan Hines. You can add walnuts, pecans, whatever you desire. I sometimes add espresso instead of a 1/4 cup of water for a java jolt.

Let me know what ya think.. I think about 2 of those brownies is a good dose of THC. Four would be pushing it, depending on tolerance and body weight.

Bon apetit!

Thanks Rum, the tincture will probably be made in the next few days. I'm waiting on my dropper bottles so I have something to put it in.

I ordered a bunch when I was gonna make tincture, but after I messed it up, I tore all the droppers out, sealed the tops with foil adn I use them to store all my hash.

I am going to give tincture another shot one day, looks like I need to follow your recipe.

I only bought 4 pounds of butter because of the price. I may go get a bottle of 151 tomorrow to do some alcohol tincture as well. $5 a lb for butter was a rude awakening. I spent over $300 in last 2 weeks building a garden and raised beds in my yards for plants. Glad I did. Tomatoes go for nearly $5 a lb here as well. I can buy a tomato plant at Lowes that is 4 weeks old and has flowers on it for less than the price of a single tomato. It seemed like a no brainer.

My goal is to use about a 1/4 oz of good bud or sugar leaf trim or pop corn bud per lb of butter and about an oz - 2 oz of leaf per lb depending on trich counts on leaf. Theoretically, I could make about 16 lbs of cannabutter, but I'm not going to, as I'll have more new trim in 7-8 weeks, and so on... so I' always have something going on. None of my patients have been introduced to tinctures yet, but that is going to be changing with all this trim sitting here.

My goal next time is to avoid so much damn leaf. I'm going to get more aggressive on defoliating. I easily had about 15 tops that came out worthless for smoking because they didn't get enough light to form tight buds. I had some tops with stems as thick as 1/4" with crap for bud... I blame that on me... I did a great job of filling screen with veg and I dropped ball in flower. I should have kept taking leaves throughout flowering. Next time I will.

And the tomatoes in the store dont even taste like tomatoes.

Man those are some sweet looking edibles, pun intended :D I would enjoy seeing a how too. Sounds like you will be busy in the kitchen for many weeks using up that trim :weed:

ROFL

I made some Cannabutter from my sugar leaves and made a batch of brownies today. I used a silicone mold and made brownie bites. I'll be decorating them with chocoloate glazes and stuff tonight. I'll get some pics.... they are going to look sweet.

I also made some mini cup brownies and i ate two about an hour ago... I'm beginning to feel the effects in my face and my shoulders and neck. A big grin is inside wanting to get out and I'm finding stupid shit funny. Hard to believe for two little cup cakes... I simmered the butter for 20 hours and I squeezed the hell out of the mash ball to get every last drop of butter out of it. :) This stuff is actually quite good. The glazes are going to be needed to help mask the taste of weed butter in these baked goods. :)

Cream cheese covers up the taste of the weed pretty well. I made a devils food cake roll, inspired by pumpkin rolls and the like (the devils food cake was all I had in the house). The individual brownies were kinda gross cause I left the fibers right in there, but rolled up with cream cheese and a little milk, it was incredible.

So do you use a double boiler method for melting and mixing the leaf/bud and butter.

And how long do you soak it for, in the past I only tried making a little bit of butter just to try it, but it looks like I should just dedicate a quarter and make some legit treats.

Do you smoke alot serapis, cause I do but me and my buddies always wanted to try some good brownies looks like you have a good recipe.

If I make some bomb brownies and eat two i should get fucked up right? I have a pretty hefty tolerance.

When I made my tincture this is what I did.

I took a good amount of really crystaley trim and filled a halfpint jar. I submerged everything with everclear, and shook it 5 times a day and let it soak for 7 days.


Now here is where I messed up, I took everything out and strained all the leaf out and put it all into a double boiler and started to evaporate the alcohol. I thought alot had evaporated and tried some, aghhhhhhhhhh it nearly made me puke.

So I waited some more and just mixed it with some coke and drank it it tasted awful.

I guess I should have tried a slow evaporation method, cause my method did not work.

If it is like any other RO system, probably about 2-3 minutes per gallon. I may try to either by a damn tank with built in float shut off or rig one.... I don't want to babysit an RO line... Maybe 18 gals at a time in a Rubbermaid?

I just came across this. Late I know. What if something was rigged up like the back of a toilet??? Water comes up and the float shuts off the water? Great growing by the way. Just finished Scotty's journal and am now reading yours.

LOL, Yeah, I hear that. Just got to the edibles section. Damn those look good! What if you water cured the popcorn buds with the leaves that had trich's on em to get rid of the bad shit? Wouldn't that make the butter taste better, since it makes the bud smoke smoother? Just stands to reason. Whew, my brain is in meltdown mode.
