how much butter for fan leafs?

[The Captain]

sorry if this has been covered...but the only ratios i'm findin is for trim i want to use fan leafs for cannabutter...i want it strong..thanks

fan leaves have almost no trichomes so what your striving for is not possible imo

 

[supermanlives]

if you use fan leaves your screwed. cant hurt to try tho . pack in as many as you can . dont expect anything but nasty green butter that dont do much

i'm talkin fans off of mature plants with visible trichomes...worth it?

 

[Papulz]

try something around 3-4 pounds of butter for a dry lb of this fan trim.

sounds like theres some essence to be extracted, its just a question of how much.

Alot of the butter will soak into the leaves. You'll end up with alot less butter then what you started with and its a bitch straining it out. Its messy and too much of a pain in the ass in my opinion. Good luck and be sure to do a good water bath to get as much of the green out.

not wortrh it i know ppl who tried it it was horrible if ya do do it cut the crap out and only use the trich coated part of the leaf.... i can only imagine takin hrs and days just to prep that shit...

trich covered leaves go into the hash pile

i was considering tryin a bho run with them just to see how much good shit is actually in it but butter is cheaper and i'm savin for vacation so i'll let you guys know after i consume butter if it was worth the trouble...my tolerance is through the roof so i'll share with a few to get a confirmation

Ive done it and you get the relaxing feel like from the C-Ice tea and good stuff to cook with for mellow recipes used 8lbs of huge fans (still green on a light feed regimen so I dont have to flush plants really before chop) and made 3 lbs butter outta it and it was enough to do the trick of feeling like I was lead jello...

1. chop leaves finely
2. add real unsalted butter 2-3 pounds (not country crock or other fake shit) and distilled water (2 fluid measure cups) to finely chopped leaves
3. simmer for a 24-28 hour period on low setting with small bursts of medium while youre there to stir it so it dont burn the butter (a mistake a lot of people make is burning the butter)

4. strain it in a container/strainer large enough you can let it sit and drip out everything
5. wring it out like through a clean white cotton shirt and wring it thoroughly (when Im done wringing it out (while still kinda hot) I have almost clear crispy feeling (still pliable but feels dryish and crispy) and slightly burnt fingers lol and a bowl of butter and water

6. let bowl sit (dont immediately throw in refrigerator) to cool down a bit (like 20-30 minutes) then refrigerate and remove top mass of re-solidified butter from top of water and enjoy the somatic relaxed feel when you cook with this

Ive made all kinds of things out of this and it can floor you when added to smoking etc and even on its own, but is a totally different feel than most Ive gotten around here but I dont decarboxylate it by baking or pre heating etc... as that destroys some of the rarer cannaboids, as well makes it taste nasty and you can use males for this butter as well, make sure any plant you use is mature though so you know it will contain something beneficial

thanks everyone for their input
ended up usin prob 6zips of nice fans with 2sticks of butter made brownies and ate them for dessert after dinner..myself and the other high tolerance participant felt a little bit of a body high and i was able to sleep through the night (hardly never happens), my wife however who i would say has a low tolerance she passed out and was feelin so much the next day she couldn't go to work and claimed to not feel right until 4pm

You mean minutes, right?
