Never mind... On my own, I fianlly found the answer to this my question!I have a question... And, it might sound a bit stupid to you guys. But, I'm brand new to using weed... althought I'm 49 years old! And, I just don't know! So, I have to ask!!
Before using the trims and discards from the plant to make butter, do I need to dry them or cure them?? Or, do I just use them fresh and green... right after they are trimmed? I know that there would be a definite and sizeable difference in volume used between say, an ounce of dried and an ounce of green.
Thanks in advance for any info!

My ratio is 1.0g of bubble per stick of butter. Start with that and tweak it from there.

i made some some cannabutter with fresh bud. Left it in a crock pot on low for 12 hours. I used Romulan, Sourdiesel, Grape ape, and Grand daddy purple. Made rice alien treats. Neon green from my butter. Super potent. You can taste the strong herbal taste from the fresh ganja and was super nice. One 2" by 2" treat would last for 5 usages. Recipe: just enough water to cover melted butter and bud. 2 sticks of butter and 1 & 1/2 ounce's of cannabis. Of my god! These are awesome. I have to admit if you don't like the cannabis herbal taste in you treats make then with dryed weed. It will be lighter in flavor!

by the way I only used one stick of butter to make the treats. I made a full rice crispy treats recipe and still have one stick left!

I made some last night with 45 g of single vaped buds. Using one stick of butter.
It didn't set properly, i think i didnt boil it long enough to seperate butter & water. I tried to use hardly any heat.
I added another 45g of vaped buds and half a stick of butter, i've been out of fresh bud for 2 days now and i think i'm going to scoop the crap of the surface and eat it before it sets!!!

If you can do that, all I can say is YOU da man!!! Yesterday evening, I made some budder with some dried stuff and some green trimmings, leaves, and stems. I will NOT do that again!! I think it would have tasted alright if I had dried everything. But, that Martian looking stuff I got in the frig just don't suit my tastebuds!! It does it's job... but, I think I'd rather smoke Doberman or Billy Goat...

Thanks for the info, HighTech!
It would definately have been handy to know this before I made the butter. The original post says, "When the saucepan is empty carefully undo the elastic, pick up the cheesecloth from all four sides and squeeze all of the remaining butter out..." And, being somewhat of a stickler about following directions... especially when it's something new to me, I tried my best to squeeze all of the remaining butter out!I don't know for sure what to do with the butter. It tastes like I would imagine my tounge would taste if it were stuck up a cow's ass for a couple of days, then rinsed in bleach... NAAAAAAASSSSTY!!!!!!!
I don't suppose there is anything I can do to get rid of some of that shittty taste, is there?? If not, I'll just chalk it up to experience learned as to what NOT to do!!!
The next time, I'll either dry it out first, smoke it green, grind it up and snort it, or take an enema with it. Any of those things has got to taste better than this butter does!! IP

I don't know if what I have done with the butter will help the taste or not... But, I figured surely anything I did (short of dropping it in a pile of dog shit 
) wouldn't hurt it either! 
Come to think of it... even the dog shit might be an improvement!! 
I know... I know... millions of comedians are out of work... and, I'm trying to be funny...: 
The first time, I strained everything through a clean t-shirt. And, as stated before, I tried to make sure I squeezed all the butter out. I re-melted the butter and re-strained it. But, this time I strained it through a coffee filter. And, I did NOT squeeze it out!! I was really surprised at how much plant material I got out of the butter.
As I said, I don't know if it will help or not... but, it certainly can't hurt!!

I think that's a waste of cannabutter. missing that last bit of THC laced oil will disappoint. maybe collect it in a different container!

you can remelt the butter in new water at low temp and it will remove some of those impurities.

If that is what I have to do to get the last bit of THC laced oil, I'll just have to throw it away. No kidding... when I tried the butter, it almost made me puke!! And, I don't think the collection container had anything to do with it. I used a very clean, clear, almost new tupperware container. Without exaggerating, the butter had an overpowering flavor of a combination of boiled, stained cauliflower, broccoli, brussel sprouts, mustard greens, and turnip greens... all of which had been allowed to age in the garden faaaaaaaaar too long before they were cooked! Like I said, it about made me puke!
As I said, I've already re-melted the butter and re-strained it through a coffee filter. Right now, it's in the refrigerator and about 85% set up. I just tasted it, and it tastes MUCH better!! I may still try your suggestion. But, I really hate to go through it all over again. Each additional time I re-strain it, I loose that much more butter... and THC! for your suggestions!!IP
you shouldnt lose any butter or thc from remelting the butter. Except for what is soaked up from your filter. I suggest using the T-shirt again or cheesecloth. I used it and it worked best. Try to place the cheesecloth stretched over a cup and pour the mix slowly in the smallest shape possible. the more butter that touches the filter the more loss!

I know I won't loose any butter from re-melting it... no more than what the pan refuses to give up. The butter absorbed by the filter was what I was talking about. The suggestion to pour in the smallest shape possible and allowing the butter to touch as little of the filter as possible is a good idea. If I decide to re-melt again, I will do just that when I filter it. again!!IP

maybe a stupid question ....can you use all the leaves that you trim or just the ones with visible crystals on them

Would it be cool to use a reusable coffeee filter as a filter. If it doesn't tastee good you should use better bud!
