You can use your fingers. Break it up smaller than you would for a joint, very crumbly & fine. If you decarb now but want to use it later, if you can, decarb using a closed mason jar (finger tighten it, then back it off by a quarter turn) in the oven, using a water bath. This will help preserve as many of the oils as possible. Let cool, tighten lid, and store in fridge til ready for use.

Thanks. I will re read tomorrow. My brain is done from a long day. Now I am back to issues with my AK. I just seem to have bad luck every time I try to grow this.
I am going to ask opinions here as well. I will do this in 3 seperate post so each picture can be blown up. The first is what the AK is like now. It just started getting bad the last few days. Looking at the chart in the second picture. I am thinking I may need to up the K âpotassiumâ. Ant opinions? I have only been feeding 1/4 strength

And here are the specs for my nutes. I am wondering if I should up this to a half to see what happens. I donât want the B.B. to start having issues since it is getting close to the finish
Thanks again

As you know I am no expert however upping your nutes might make it worse if your ph is so low on run off. What I did recently when I started noticing a tiny bit of what you have, not this advanced though, started fixing my ph with nutes same strenght just upped the ph of the solution to 7. The run off is now better and the issue didnât progress.
You might have a build up in soil and adding stronger nutes will just continue the build up as ph is low and no intake of nutes happens cus its locked.
Wait for more experienced growers though;)

I agree with @rumpelstiltskin completely mate, I would also get your Ph sorted or you wonât as @rumpelstiltskin also has said be able to get you plant to take anything in regards nutes I would give it a flush with just Phâd water and take a number off testâs if you can reason being if you could take 1 and dump runoff then more water and take another and dump and then a 3rd and check all and things regarding your Ph should be back in line let her drip for a bit before putting her back in only if you feel this will help @Not2SureYet it can take sometime, let your Plant dry out then and then add your nutes next feeding, I do hope this help you out mate

@rumpelstiltskin is correct, your ph is way too low and adding more nutes will only make it worse. If I remember correctly, youâre in soil, so your Ph should be 6.3-6.8. Also, I believe you have a calcium deficiency, so adding those nutes wonât help anyway. Get that Ph sorted out first.

did you train these autos at all??
@amosmoses, I topped the AK and both had a little lst. Not much though. I did a lot more on the B.D. I just put the trellis net over the AK earlier this week. Mostly because it was getting to tall for that tent.
I want to say thanks to every one. You are all correct. @rumpelstiltskin, you caught that fast 
Like others I know on here. I have had heat stroke before too. Yesterday I sat in the sun for 3 hours during my nephews graduation from high school. I am pretty proud of that kid. Not only did he graduate, he did it with a 4.4 grade average. By the time I got home I was feeling pretty bad from the sun. When I noticed the AK, my brain went straight back to the GS plants i did.
I went to bed thinking about this. I woke up about 2 am and realized i was looking at how to fix this and not why. I realized my ph was so far off that I was locking every thing out as you all caught.
I got up and mixed up some Floarakleen and gave it to both plants. The B.B. ph had dropped 2 tenths yesterday. So it got it as a preventative. After watering it down good. It was back to 5.8
The AK was not letting me off that easy. I spent from 2am till 7:30 this morning on it. I ran florakleen through, then watered twice. No change. I ran florakleen through again and the run off showed a .1 drop. I watered again, checked and was now at 5.4. I watered again and got up to 5.7 this time. I fed just a touch to both since they will get fed later tonight. Right now I am 85% sure I have this straightened out. I will feed the AK light tonight and if all is still good. I will go back to regular feeding for it the next go round.
I am pretty sure by noon I will be ready for a nap since I was up all night. I was determend not to loose another AK though. Today is friday so pictures tonight LOL
Thanks for all the help again

Oh my oh my, you should let them rest now 
just water or feed when they dry off after that thsunami with a higher ph and it should be just fine I guess. Mine got 7ph feed today and run off was at 6.6 so next one will be at 6.8 or 6.9 and run off should be perfect then.
Our weather got sunny recently which is a miracle and everyone started complaining! I want to kill them but I understand cus them folks didnât have a proper summer since 1129 
so they are definetly not used to it!
Hope you didnât get to big of a sun stroke @Not2SureYet, you have to think about your babies! Who would care for them if you get yourself into trouble;)

I think the AK felt like it was getting water boarded LOL Glad to hear you got a handle on yours @rumpelstiltskin, I am still a little burnt out from being up most of the night. If it straightens out the AK it was worth it. It is on week 11 now. The B.B. is now on week 12.

Well, it is friday and that means I get to share a picture or too I just fed and the AK is back down to a PH run off of 5.1 I am thinking I may have to go just straight water till I get this to stay above a 5.6. Some thing about the AK that just doesnât like me. Any ways. She is now on week 10. The big bud is still powering a long. It is on week 12 now. Lots of cloudy trichomes, but no amber. So I will just keep feeding her till I see a sign. I can flush this to 70 ppm with just water in a couple days when it is time. She is still using most of what I feed her. A happy plant this one is.
Here are a couple pictures
The AK
And the Big bud all happy looking

AK still looks pretty good despite the pH issues. Big Bud looks great, too

I am going to give it a shot for making some cannabutter tomorrow. I will decarb first. Then to make 2 dozen cookies, should I use an oz to make it or a little more? 100 per dose is good but I think 150 would be better. This person can eat a 100mg chocolate and barely be effected by it. This is not for me so I hope to make it on the strong side. I will be using a crokpot. I have read the longer you cook it, the stronger it gets. What would you reccomend
Thanks

Thanks, I donât care if she takes longer to finish. She is in her own room with no one waiting for it. I decided not to get a head of my self again and have more waiting for the tent. I over filled the 4x4 earlier and learned from it.

I hope I didnât miss your cooking!
Cooking longer, to a point, will make the budder stronger, but cooking too long will cause the cannabinoids to degrade.

Thanks, I just started it last night in the crock pot close to midnight. I am re moving it at 10 this morning when my sis comes by to help. I donât have any big bowls to drain it in so I need help with pouring and holding the screen with the micro fiber towel. So it will have cooked about 11 hours. I read others doing this for 24 hours. I hope I didnât kill it to much. I used a oz for a lb of better. It sure smelled for a long time.

Sorry, I forgot you were using a crockpot.
I donât use that method b/c itâs just too time consuming, but others love it. 120 minutes on simmer or 40 minutes in a pressure cooker is how I do it, but there are so many ways & theyâre all correct.

It is in the fridge now. The crock pot is best for me. I can set it and leave it over night. Not to say it will work great. I guess soon I will know. I am going to take some to my friend and make him put some on some toast for a sample test LOL it may be a week before I try to bake any thing. If he can tell it works. I may make another very weak batch for me to try.

Make sure he uses about 1 tsp of butter per serving, to start.
