New Grower 24K, Sour Livers and Strawberry Nuggets

@Boognelson87
I was thinking about topping too, I think it depends on the strain how it handles it. You might not have even stunted yours I am thinking just not vigorous enough lst but then again it depends on what you want, your just probably going to get bigger colas if you leave it like that vs more but not as big so it levels out either way really trust me I never thought I would get over an ounce and a half off that 14 inch Sour Livers.

Made a pound of weed butter last night out of about 38 grams of trim and bud mixture. Haven't tried it yet but happy with how much it made.

Enjoy that butter! It looks pretty clarified too so shouldn't taste like arse
Have you had a look at the topping thread? I think I'll do my first run without topping as I'm new to autos, but I am reading up on it for down the line.

Hey @RivetGrrl !

Thank you! We wanted to try it last night so bad but had to wait overnight for butter to separate from water but I am glad I did it that way should have seen how brown the water was after it separated.

I haven't checked the thread yet but will half to check that out as I will be growing other strains soon . I want to say that I have read Mephistos indicas aren't too good with topping but I could be wrong, I think you can do really good with lst though and leaf tucking helps.

Did you get your Mephisto beans yet?

Don't drink that nasty ass brown water

I was surprised to read that indicas almost do better with the topping, but I'm not sure about Mephisto genetics. I need to keep reading to see. I did read int he strain guide on Mephisto's website a few strains that do well with topping, but I didn't take note which.
Not sure if you know the thread location here's a quick click when/if you want to read up on it https://www.autoflower.org/threads/auto-topping-thread-pushing-the-auto-limits.57281/
My beans should be here today or tomorrow, they are at the postal depot in the city south of me. I'm stoked to germ as soon as I have them in my hot little hands lol

Oh hell no!

I think the thing with the strains I have is they are so quick if you top you risk slowing it down too much when they already are so fast cause the sour livers is as quick as 60 days from sprout. Thanks for the link!

That is awesome make sure you tag me or let me know what free ones you got!:smoking:

If anyone makes cannabutter you gotta try it on homemade popcorn its amazing if you make it pure enough. We started testing the cannabutter at 1/8 teaspoon each on a slice of toast this morning and worked up to two 1/8 teaspoons each result was nice mellow little stone body relaxed great for pain and stress puts you in a great mood eases worry is a much different cleaner high than smoking.

Tonight we upped the dose to 1/2 teaspoon each I put in a teaspoon of cannabutter in a sausepan with about a tablespoon of reg butter melted at low heat mixed and drizzeled over popcorn tastes so good! Thats how you stretch your butter when you need more butter but already have your dosing right.

I sent Boog this Canna-Butter recipe figured I would post for everyone it makes it taste better with water purification this is a combination recipe from multiple recipes made to suit my needs not gonna take credit just passing good info along so everyone can learn.

To make a pound of butter I decarbed a mixture of lower buds and close trim about 37 grams worth for an hour in the oven at 220F with aluminum foil covering the trim and or bud on the cooking sheet or dish, some people say a half hr and so on but there have been tests proving more thc in bud and trim that is decarbed for an hr.

You could also do say a half ounce of bud per lb butter for prem bud that would be good for newbs that aren't used to edibles up to you how strong.

I broke all the trim and bud up before simmering as well just by hand after decarb as it is easier.

After that I used a pound of salted butter along with 2 cups of water and let it simmer don't let it boil if you need something to compare there is a video on youtube that shows simmer vs boil simmer is like tiny little bubbles in the center and a little movement boiling is like a hard boil bubbles rolling all over even out to edges for mine it was about 2 and a half heat setting on the stove let the butter melt then pour in your trim and or bud and stir occasionally keeping watch of it for 2 to 3 hrs I did it about 2 hours and 15 min.

The reason for the water is so your butter and thc doesn't get scorched like some recipes without it and it acts as a purifier because thc isn't water soluble it adheres to the fat in butter so after you are done simmering use a cheese cloth stretched over and attached to a heat safe container that has a lid to cover for fridge later or you can use a fine meshstrainer like I used for cheap, dump the mixture in the container slowly letting it strain and squeeze the bud to strain it set till cooler and then set it in the fridge over night with the lid on.

What this does is what I was mentioning about purifying with the water in the morning all the butter will be separated from the water and infused butter will be floating on top take it out and all that brown water is what the water took out that would still be in there with old methods and tastes nasty. You will probably half to take a knife and take some thin plant matter off your butter on the bottom or you can repeat the process but this time just melt butter with 2 more cups of water and as soon as it melts completely set overnight again and it will purify the rest or close. It tastes and smells really good to me actually but if it had more plant matter it wouldn't and I am picky.

I think if you had a cheese cloth there would be even less to no plant matter.

Make sure you read up on dosage andstart with low doses.
