Yeldarb: There are a few different ways to go about this (all being very closely related) From what I've gathered its about an ounce of bud to a pound of butter. Now I personally didn't even use bud. But I did use close to 2 oz's of stems,shake,and GWS trim for half the amount of butter. For every two sticks of butter its about 3 cups of water. Anyways First boil your water, then throw your butter in the water till it melts. Once the butter melts its time to throw your bud or trim into the mix. Now most recipes I found said to grind the bud or shake down to a very fine powder. I was not able to grind up mine cause I don't have a coffee grinder. Anyways back to the mix....... Reduce heat to the lowest it can go without turning it off. Put lid on pot and let simmer for atleast 2 hours. I did mine 4-5 hours. I read one thread saying to brew for atleast 23 hours...... that isn't possible for me so I just did 4 to 5 hours. Once the mix is done brewing take some cheese cloth ( fabric stores have this ) and drap it over top the container you will be pouring the mix into. Cheese cloth is like a huge gauze pad if you were wondering what it is. Double up your cheese cloth so you can catch more of the chopped up bud/trim. Lightly squeze your cheese cloth full of trash once you've poured the brew through. The brew is now ready to sit in your fridge over night to settle. When you come back in the morning you should see two seperate layers the top yellow green layer is what you want. Scrape this layer out and then use plastic wrap to mold your butter into the shape you want. Throw butter in freezer till you need to use.

I know what you meanI tell my friends to save all their stems for me since they seem to think I'm stupid for saving all of it.

Ya the BUKU looks like some straight fire I'm so excited to grow it can't wait to get my hands on some kush bro. I'm gonna be picking up a 10 pack of choco chunk from t h seeds also to breed with later next month. I wanna try and do a couple seed runs of something I've never heard of lol. Atleast this way I won't have to buy seeds if keeping clones is something I won't be able to do.
Ok and apparently my card was declined at dope-seeds.com ahhhh this is pissing me the hell off!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have money in my account ahhhhhhhhh I'm gonna try a pre paid debit card or something.
Aight guys here are the pics I promised last night lol. I forgot to take pics of the cannabutter before I used it all but hey whatever. BTW next time going to use bud mainly, I didn't use very much and got very weak cookies. Although they did help me fall asleep a lot quicker. Anyways I know they all say Gigabud Flowering Day 70 but by now I'm sure you guys know the difference between which is which. Also two shots of the dried GWS and a shot of the three bagseed sprouts I got in the box as well. If ordering seeds doesn't end up working out ( I don't want my credit card company calling my work again asking about my recent purchases ) I'm just gonna do another round with the Haze plant. This time topping at second or third node and utilizing the LST WAY WAY WAY earlier on in the process. Anyways enjoy the pics and I should have more sometime next week.
Ha I took the lowest bud off the gigabd cause it wasn't even getting any light and microwaved it for 8 secs at a time till dry. Damn this shit is gonna be pretty damn dank when finished real nice up head high. I hoping it will be ready to chop by my birthday or a little sonner. The new growth up top has just started to make little budlets so I was thinking of just taking her to 14 weeks and see what she looks like then. When the lower other couple buds are ready I'll chop, their hairs are about all red. Anyways ummmmmm ya I'm blazed haha.
Well guys, bump in the road for the giga and what not. I'm going out of town next week for the whole week. I'm pretty sure I'm gonna be chopping soon probably pretty soon at that. I would really love to take her to 14 weeks. But getting caught and losing my crop isn't worth taking her to 14 weeks. She was a free seed and 14 weeks is a damn long time in the first place. Haze is getting chopped also she is all up in the light I'm scared she will start a fire left unattended for a week. Sad to say but whatever I've learned a lesson hahaha. I'll probably start a haze seed to be topped and lst'd as soon as I get back. I'll be updating pics and what not still. Anyways guys later.
Hey killa, been a while since ive had the internet. Man they look so tasty bro. Thats not gonna be a disappointment at all. Congrats on a first grow man, i know ur other ones will be killer. I havent got a chance to germinate anything cuz im moving so I need to get everything situated. They look really good, send some , I need some head medicine!!
That kinda sucks dude, but what can you do i guess. 14 weeks is a long time, how close would you say the haze is to being done? I'll be watching you try that out on a haze. I interested n low people can keep them. later days
Thanks Intution, the GWS is a killer smoke I mean killer, the giga is going to be pretty great when cured and what not. The microwave buds were great so hell I bet the cure buds will be pretty stelar.
Yeldarb, I know bro but this wasn't expected. I was planning on having the Giga done by now. I did not think she would take this long. As for the haze I deffinately learned my lesson. DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE THE HAZE!!!!! As I have said a couple different time she will be tied down practically from birth mwahhahahaha lol. No but foreal as soon as the double shoots come out I'll start tying them down. We shall see how she does next grow around lol. Anyways
Wow what a great trip. I can' wait to move up to N.C. Coming back to the florida heat is like a punishment....... The weather is just unbearable lol. Anyways guys I ended up leaving the Giga and the Haze up while I was gone. Ha the new growth on the Giga got so heavy it is now leaning. I'm cutting them both tommorrow night so I can start revamping my space. Anyways I'll try and get some pics up later tonight.
Glad you had a trip mate.
It's really humid there in Florida isn't it?
I only know from what I've seen on CSI Miami lol
That would suck, I hate humidity.
That, combined with heat, must be really oppressive.
hell yea bro.... just found ur thread.... looks damn good for a dresser and cfls props foreal... my first ever grow was ina dresser with cfls and defff was not as good as that lol those look like pretty big bud.... anyway hope they turn out as grea as they look happy smoking bro !
Ya mammath its sooooo sticky outside right now. While I was gone heat index was 120, freaking glad I was in the mountains for that lol. Pics coming tonight btw. Oh also finally ordered my BUKU from T H seeds. Going to revamp the dresser to tighten up some of the mistakes I left from the first go around, next run should be even better.
lol yea i prolly coulda guessed u been aroun the block before... shit would look too good if it was a first time grow.... but im looking forward to seeing your improvements bro.... keep up the good work .... subscribed !
Alright guys last night was the night for the Gigabud to be chopped. The cola is more than a foot long, nice and chunky (even for cfls). Just from the microwaved test buds I can tell this is going to be some top notch smoke. Its got a nice fruity menthol taste, with a very fruity smell. The leaves were just COVERED in resin. I'll be using the trim and what not to make another batch of cookies, although this time going to put atleast a half oz of regs in with it to make them stronger. Anyways here are the pics enjoy. BTW I'll be keeping the haze up for another two to three weeks. Probably won't be updating pics to much on her. Anyways thanks for sticking along everyone. I shall be back very very soon hahaha.
Why thank you mam means alot coming from a great like yourself. Man if she didn't take so damn long to finish I'd think about picking me up a 5 pack of these but screw 14 weeks flowering. I'm not doing that again to say the least lol.
