Canna-butter Qqq's! Please

[the cc]

CAN YOU USE GREEN RAW BUDS & TRIMINGS? OR DO YOU USE DRIED & CURED BUD & TRIMINGS ONLY? AND IF YOU USE RAW GREEN BUD, DOES IT MAKE IT TASTE ANY DIFFERNT?

 

[blowin.endo]

you're gonna have to use a lot since underdeveloped buds dont contains as much thc as the mature ones

 

[Damagoman]

Pretty much either or
(that OtherPlace is down, I didn't say it Rob

since you are basicly changing the molcules of the THC the taste will be the same if it's cured or not.
I find it easyier to use undried harvest,
easier to cut/dice when it's wet/raw/my understanding of raw green.
to get the butter to cover ... damn, that's sorta poetic

Dry or wet it still has to be Ripe

 

[Akornpatch]

you should dry/cure the bud to get the full THC development first.

 

[Damagoman]

Hmmm,
wouldn't that depend if you harvested at cloudly or golden ?

I perfer golden but ProdSchedules dictate other wise sometimes.

You can use fresh wet buds and trimmings - even stems to make cannabutter with. Just add water to the pot enough to cover everything, then add the butter or margerine. Simmer - not boil - for 1 hour or more... When it's ready squeeze the plant material to get the butter back out and put the liquid in the fridge so it will cool and seperate. The butter will congeal into a hard green disk on the top and the dirty water and remaining junk will all be still left in the bowl.

The longer it's simmered in the water, the less green or "grassy" taste the final product will have.

Cooking the trimmings is a great way to dispose of the "evidence" from a grow.. looks and smells like cooked spinach when it's all done.

Disposal, oh yeah

Just started doin' butter,
was grindin' everything down for cold water extract but it was really harsh to smoke, much rather eat it

Thanks Again!!!!!

The water needs to be driven out of the bud for THC to become psychoactive. Dry the trim/buds first atleast. Trim dries quickly, should only take a couple days.
