Edit I've never made butter before this!

There's a few good recipes out there.Just remember to always decarboxylate before getting your butter on.I've made it the first time without doing that and it was mediocre.When I learned to decarboxylate it took my butter to another level.

Did you put any lecithin in there?

never heard of using that

 

[Lazerus00]

im pretty sure you can just clarify the butter then put it in a slow cooker for like 12 hrs on low then another 10 or so if there is a selection below low

 

[DismalDude]

This is the recipe I use but I decarboxylate the cannabis first. https://www.420magazine.com/forums/cannabis-edibles/37701-cannabutter-7-easy-steps.html

It's an emulsifier. It allows your body to absorb the hash oil better and more efficiently. Won't make you higher, just takes lower doses to achieve same effect.

Great minds think alike. I'm About to make some butter in a crockpot for the 1st time.

@Tnelz was just talking about how he made an insanely good batch of edibles with canna butter he made in his slow cooker and it was dumb easy...maybe he'll chime in...

 

[drewski85]

I've made butter before but never with a crockpot. Never gave it enough time either.

Same here I do a qp per pound of butter in my croc on low for 18 hours +

Do you add h2o, and if so, how much?

If it's ok I thought I would chime in on 315w cmh.

The best reflector for a 5x5 tent would be the 315 LEC. It can veg a 5x5 tent no problem and it can do it with a vengeance. We keep ours at 4' from the canopy. If I was confined to a tent this would be my first choice for veg. It will smoke a t-5 fixture or a 600w MH and it will use half the power. I find that running these bulbs too close causes issues. 4-5 ft seems to be the sweet spot in my experience.

For flower switch up to a 600w gavita SE. You can hit 2# with the right strain and the energy savings compared to old lighting tech is unreal.

I've been wanting to switch over my 3k to 315s. Just not sure I've got the head room for the gavita.

How many would that take to be the same @Capulator

 

[BlackSheepOG]

So in honor of the full moon on Christmas Day and it's rare occurance I will be dropping some new stuff. Hope to find something good. Last 3 of each so I'll keep my fingers crossed.

 

[SeaF0ur]

Sounds like a good spread!

I wish you all a festive Mörsugur... we're shortly closing in on the winter solstice.
May Odin give you knowledge on your path,
May Thor grant you strength and courage on your way,
And may Loki give you laughter as you go.

 

[Tnelz]

Boom.......and the damas was gone.

Lol.. Thanks brother.

So I'd never say someone else's way was wrong. But decarbing for butter isn't entirely necessary although I can see why one would do it. To me it's the time. I'm sure someone can drop the scientific stuff behind it lol. I make and move butter more than anything else I make or grow and it couldn't be easier.Imo though 20 hours minimum 24 is optimal. Melt your butter in the crock once fully melted put into container and put back into fridge till hard. In this time all your milk solids will sink. Remove the chunk of butter and dump solids in bottom of bowl even wipe residual solids off bottom of butter. You now have gi aka clarified butter. Much longer shelf life much higher smoke point and just overall better product. Add your weed. Mix around put crock on low. Mix occasionally every hour or so. After about 12 hours or so give or take a couple hours I switch from warm down to keep warm. Let it go the full 24 if you can and I promise you it's to the moon. I've been on cookies for days. Strain your weed put into freezer and your good forever or close. My suggested serving size is approximately half a domino. Good size to start with. Enjoy.

Ok? Come by more man. I'm rocking a 315 in a 4 x 4 approx 4 to 5 feet away and I'm beyond impressed. Thanks for coming by Cap!

When you use a crockpot on low it decarbs in the process, :) also if using hash there is no need. I try to stay around 200 degrees for at least 24 hrs up to 48.

All the THCA is converted to THC in the process. Drying a plant is doing the same thing.
