Making butter and decarbing fresh herb

Hi y’all. My 4x4 tent is getting maxed out and i would love to snip a little bit to make butter for edibles. I don’t smoke. So my question is, I believe you can decarb in the oven fresh herb right? I have a magical butter machine. So people say since it’s not dried you will have some water content in the butter, but when the butter hardens the water will separate. Has anybody done this ? Decarb fresh? Then make butter in magical machine ? Thanks so much for your time! Here are my 48 day old plants!





I can see crystals forming on the small leaves. So it must have THC content? Thinking just as snipping 7 grams for a little batch

Way to many white pistils. Pretty much worthless if you pull early. Been there, done that. Just be patient or its going to be wasted resources. The trichomes is far from mature at this point. Which means no high for you.

Yes you can decarb fresh herb in the oven. I test my taking a small nug off the bottom and nuke it on high for 1 minute. This tells you how the plant is doing. Its ghetto but it works. I know you said you don’t smoke.

Wow , thanks buddy for the feedback! I can wait. This is my first grow… So I’m learning… So pretty much all the white pistils will change colors? I’m going to order a magnifying glass to are start checking for cloudy chromes!

It just seems like these girls are going to be massive buds because I still got 30 days

Is that going off the breeders stated grow time, as those are notoriously inaccurate and not in growers favor😀

I got the seeds from here. Each strain says like 10 weeks…

How long have they been in flower?

Well…like 2 weeks seedlings and 2 weeks veg… That’s 28 days… So like 3 weeks flower!

Yes the pistils will turn to brown to amber. This is when you really want to start watching the trichomes.

Get a Jeweler Loupe off Amazon. This will give you 30x and 60x magnification. :+1::+1::+1:

I wouldn’t mess with it at this point. Not enough THC and any CBD would be insignificant. Wait for the whole of the plant to mature. jmtc

I think you mean 10 weeks total right… Autoflowers only have a cycle up to 11 weeks or so… So with that said seedling is 2 weeks, and veg is like 2 weeks or so… So that only leave 6 weeks for flowering

No sir. That’s a VERY common misconception. The week numbers that are given are usual flower to harvest. Those buds have several weeks to go yet

8-10 weeks is common flowering times

Several weeks to go would be 10 weeks!

If you Google how long for autoflowers to finish from seed to harvest !!! Everyone says 8 to 10 weeks… My one plant is almost 50 percent orange hairs at 8 weeks.

Have you ever grown autoflowers?

Several of them.

You can see them in my journals here. I’ve run through AK47s and 3 rounds of Zkittlez so far. I have another Zkittlez in my tent right now which is looking wonderful.

My last auto went 93 days I believe
