Butter to bud ratios (not trim ratios)

[midwestHIGHS]

Hey everyone its ol cookin time again as i am in some serious need of pain relief latley.... First off my last budder came out great very strong and trippy but i used about 18gs of shake a 10gs of bud and 10gs of frosty stems for good measure. but i cant remember how much butter i used and all i seem to find is trim to butter ratios.

This time i will be using about 31gs of all great A buds 5gs of stems and 5gs of shake for good measure and i will be using GHEE(100% pure organic clarified butter) instead of regular organic unsalted butter. Now my questions is since im using pretty much all buds and not trim how much GHEE should I use for extremely potent butter???

THanks for any help replies and insight

Hi,

I use the same for buds as trim. One ounce per one cup of oil or butter.

I know a lot will not agree with this but I personally have not noticed a mega-difference between buds and trim for cooking. More so for vaping.I do notice a small difference, but in my opinion, it is the potency of the cannabis that makes more difference for edibles.

Big difference. Huge difference. Butter from trim can't even compare IMO.


1 ounce of bud to 1 pound of butter.


1:1 is a great place to start. I usually throw in trim in addition to the bud. But I always keep the bud ratio at least 1:1.
Expect some very strong butter, depending on the quality of your bud of course... and how well you "make butter". I've found that how you go about making the butter, and extracting it from the water is almost as important as what you put into it.

For your approx 40grams of ingredients, I would go with just over 1lb of butter. Less than 1.5 lbs
By the time the process is done you should harvest just over 1lb of nice green CannaButter.

PM me if you have any questions.

thanks for the replies barn owl and marlo.. much appreach

since im the most impatient person on the planet i just went along and made my butter(GHEE) right after making this thread lol

i used about 10 grams of ghee for 1 gram of buds so about 320 grams of ghee to my 40 g mixture just to make sure its really got a kick.(5 diff types of mainly indica dom and lil pure sativa,various stems and kiefy shake) AND its perfect because my recipe calls for around 3/4 cups of butter per batch that means i can make two batches of brownies(32 total 2x3inch) each brownies should contain roughly 1.2gs of goods per brownies and i cook the brownies on 225 instead of 350 to insure no thc is ruined




and I feel like i got the extracting and cooking method on lock. I simmer the ghee and about 2 cups of water on low and in between medium low. Then i roughly chopped the dank really close to the butter water mixture to make sure any falling trichs would be captured. simmer for about 4 hours constantly stirring every 15 mins or so then i strain with cheese cloth and really ring the shit out of it to get every last drop of butter water mixture out. Then i let this separate over night and remove the butter in the morning when its harden (i find bent forks work best for getting out).. my butter has nice dark green tone..

well marlo since you said your butter is strong with an ounce to a poound of butter and i used less than 3/4 of pound these should turn out heavenly extreme! thanks for input again cooking with weed RULES!!

well i made my GHEE just like how i said in the previous post i just forgot to mention i also used a double boiler. ANY WAYS these just arent doing it for me i made a batch of brownies with around 150g of butter that made 12 brownies( was supposed to be 15 atleast but i suck at cutting) these brownies should have at least a gram per and lil more. from reading, everyone says thats a strong dose and last time i made butter i did it the exact same way but it fucked me up way more. MY tolerance is probally the highest its every been in my life Ive polished off ounce after ounce of high grade smoke latly being blue dream and sourbubble. in the last month i also smoked a zip of sum supper melty bubbly gooey hash along with my already huge intake of 4-7Gs OF buds A DAY. IS MY TOLERNACE AFECTING MY HIGH BECAUSE I JUST ATE 20GS OF THIS BUTTER STRAIT ON EMPTY STOMACH ITS BEEN AN HOUR AN HALF. I HAD MY NORMAL MORNING (KINGSIZE) JOINT AND FEW BOWLS SINCE I AWOKE 3 HOURS AGO. im NOT FEELING SHIT FROM THAT BUDDER MY HIGH FROM SMOKING IS STILL LINGERING BUT BARLY ANYTHING. IM ALSO IN ALOT OF PAIN SO I DONT KNOW IF THATS AFFECTING THIS AS WELL BUT IM REALLY FRUSTRATED!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS SUCKS


HOPEFULLY A LOWER TOLERANT FRIEND WILL DISAGREE SAYING THEYRE TO STRONG.....HOPEFULLY
