But how much didn't you spend (or won't spend) on street weed?I'm at 'bout 14 grand now - figure we're ahead on the deal.
I'm guessing I save around 120 to 140 bucks a day.*

Maybe we can get @Preston9mm to chime in on how to make a small batch of butter. Do you have an insta pot or crockpot ? I know you can make small batches that way, A 1/4 wont make much butter though so you will have to make a small batch. I make mine in the Magic Butt machine and it has a two cup minimum so I have to use a lot more bud but Preston can tell you how to make small batches , He is a master in making edibles, He has a Great Journal too Here is a link to his journal

Here's the strange top I was talking about earlier... I misspoke though, this is on The White OG (plant#2) :thumb: Looks like a diploid. Polyploid would have at least 3 sided head. Diploids are a dual set of split chromosomes. Think it was @Lancashire farmer who explained that.

Do you want butter, or do you want oil? What are you going to make with it?
The going rate seems to be about 1oz of good bud per 1 cup of butter/oil. If using trim/larf it will take about 3 or 4 times that.
While I'm absolutely no expert on infusions, I have found as an end result that it is better to have stronger oil/butter and use less than it is to try and use more oil/butter.
Here are a couple youtube videos for butter and oil in an instapot.
Shows a way to decarb and then infuse with an instapot. If you don't have an instapot, you can still use the jar, but in a pan of slow boiling water. You can also decarb in the oven if you want. Key on all of this is temperature, and keeping it under 250, preferably 240 or even a little less.
Edibles are kind of a guessing game. You can get in the ballpark, but won't know a super precise number for the actual concentration you end up with. More of an average, and your result may be a hair over or under that.
You can find a decent edible calculator through google, that will get you in the neighborhood. You may need to look up some of the percentages (like the expected thc% of your strain, etc). If it's trim, cut the thc% in half.
The end result is you'll know an average of how much thc should be in your end oil/butter. So if you end up with oil that has 500mg in a 1/4 cup of oil, then make 100 gummies from that, each gummy should be about 5mg each. If you made 50, they would be about 10mg each, or if you made 24 brownies they would be about 20mg, 12 brownies would be about 40mg each. I'm sure you get the idea now.
To plan ahead, know the average strength of your starting product, then how much thc (in mg) you would like to get into the type/amount of carrier (oil or butter, in this example), the average infusion percentages for your chosen extraction method, etc.
Pretty much if you had an oz (~28g) of bud that was about 20% thc, and then infused that into a cup of oil/butter, you should end up with about 5600mg of thc in that 1 cup of oil/butter. So a 1/4 cup would be 1400mg, or 1TBSP would be 350mg. (Again, all averages. May be a hair more or less.)
So if you wanted to make a pan of brownies, you could take a TBSP of oil, and make a pan of brownies. That whole batch now has about 350mg total. Now figure out your dosage, then cut that number of brownies. Want 35mg each? Cut the pan into 10 pieces. A normal dozen would be about 29mg each, etc.
Or if you took a 1/4cup (1400mg total, average) and made 100 gummies from that, you get about 14mg/gummy.
I'm sure you're aware, but you would be surprised how many overlook this, but making the oil will certainly add quite the cannabis aroma to your house. Some people care, some don't. The jar method in the videos above helps, but even then when you open the jar some smell will still escape. Not necessarily a huge deal in a house, but an apartment, townhouse, condo, etc can be an issue if you don't want to advertise.

Man you are going to have a tone of bud as soon as you harvest and dry. If I could make it to @Derbybud house and use his Vacuum sealer. I would send you out a little care package, With this virus thing its not a good ide to go visiting folks so it may be after all this settles down before I can make it over to his place and seal some of my bud up but as soon as I can I will send some out

Dont get me wrong I would love to try your smoke it looked great I just do want you to risk anything
You're welcome.
What you have is actually enough, depending on what you'd like to do with it of course. 1/4C of oil isn't a ton, but it's at least a batch of something.
