Making edibles with trim during early flower?

Hello all,

I am currently scrogging a plant and after 7.5 weeks of veg and about 10 days of flower I did some heavy trimming on this monster. I dried all the trim and I have just under 3.5 ounces of dried stems and leaves and a few smaller branches that weren't gonna make it above the screen. I know that at this early stage of flower that THC levels are not very high...but I have a shit load of trimmings. Here is a picture of the lady 7 days ago only 3 days into flower...so she is actually a whole lot bigger....DSC_0212.jpg

SO my question is.....

IF I use the entire 3.5 ounces of trim to make 1 single batch of brownies will the end product contain enough THC to get some solid brownies. I know from my past grows that with actual sugar leaf trim after harvest I only need about a half oz of trim to each tray of brownies to get rocked. I figure that going with 7x the weight in just plain leaves and stems that I will get a good end product.....

Any thoughts? or even better anyone have experience with making brownies at this early stage?

I can always freeze this trim and add it to my harvest trim at the end. BUT...with 3.5 oz of trim I feel like it should work?????

-PEACE-

IMHO that's way too much trim for one batch. There's enough trim to create a pound of canna butter, does the recipe call for that much butter or vegetable oil (they can be swapped) ?

Once again you do realize that this is just fan leaves and stems from the plant that has NO CRYSTALS....NO NUGGETS.....there is nowhere near the same amount of THC in this trim as there would be from the trim taken during harvest.....please read first before posting....

Thanks

This is basically the equivalent of using a vegging plant to make brownies....everything I read says that trim taken during veg has such a negligible amount of THC that it isn;t worth making brownies from.....but I have A LOT OF TRIM....

I'm not dumb....I realize that 3.5 oz of actual shake and trim from a harvest would be terribly toooo much.

hey, where I come from "trim" is the sugar leaves off buds, first time I've heard garbage called "trim"

yeah i was going to say...that trim doesn't really have much in the way of THC...its honstly probably not worth the effort...i'd just throw it in the campfire, but I'd like to hear from someone who has tried this...

I've had cannabutter made from stems, and that shit rocks. It's not as powerful as trim butter, but it still turns out fine. As far as the green trimmings go, I'm not sure, but if you use enough, you should be able to extract enough for a batch or two of decent brownies.

Thats what I'm thinking...I just went ahead and put 2 oz of it into a crockpot with a cup of oil....I'm gonna try a tbsp and if that doesn't work I'll add the other ounce or so and then make brownies....if it doesn't work I'll get brownies anyways so its a win win

Yeah I got nothing to lose though....brownies are awesome even without weed in them. I'll let you know if this works at all
so I assume you've looked for trichomes with a scope? I usually don't even see a sign of any for at least 4 weeks I'd say. I never really looked early in flower nuch.

hi man! put your trim in a 1/1 mix. Double boil your stuff, and use non salted cow butter! I'm making some now, but with 2 ounces of bud versus 3/4 lb. MMMMMMM! somebody will be flying tomorrow

that is one sure indication of whether or not you're eating something that will get you a buzz or whether you're just eating trash, no sense in eating trash.

I see your point, but my butter will work. I'm running it twice ;) Cooked 1 ounce of bud for 40 minutes, strained it, threw it away, now cooling down to separate poop water, and then gonna load the magic butter again with fresh 1 ounce ;)

yassir, I trust yours will do the trick, personally I can't stand edibles, they do nothing but put me to sleep, although right before I nod off it does feel pretty trippy.
