My b.i l. had on job this season and that was to rid our garden of males but he missed one or two and now we have a couple of pounds of seeded weed.
I was thinking of using it to make some canna butter without deseeding it but have never tried this before.
Has anyone ever tried making seeded butter??
Any info would be very helpful šŸ‘

Sure you could but you would need to deseed it for sure.I always handed off my trim to my nephew to make up our butter , a couple of times we used seeded bud, but of course deseeded it.hope this helps,

I was thinking of trying to make some butter without deseeding. I figured it wouldn't hurt the potency but would affect the taste.
Have you ever tried butter made with seeds intact?

Once you are through infusing, donā€™t you strain it through cheese cloth? I do. That should remove all the seeds.

Yeah I use cheesecloth also, but I'm worried that all those seeds will give it a shitty taste. Maybe I'm just being lazy by not wanting to spend the extra time involved with deseeding a large amount of flowers, but as we all know time is money and I'm just trying to decide if its worth the extra time and effort to deseed a couple of pounds, which I'm sure you can understand the effort involved in such an undertaking.

In my opinion, butter, taste like crap anyway! Seeds or no seeds! And makes whatever you put it in taste funky! So I make the butter, extremely strong and add twice as much butter as the recipe calls for in oil! The brownies taste lousy, but all you need is a little bite to launch you into the ozone! I would make a batch and see how it turns out with the seeds in! Donā€™t know how the seeds will handle de-carbing! I donā€™t make brownies to eat for their taste!šŸ˜‚šŸ» and as an FYI, I use about 2 ounces of good bud for every pound of salted butter! Seat of the pants! 3 pounds at a time and store the rest in the freezer!

Great reply bro!! I enjoy the effects more than the taste.. that's why people still drink scotch lol. I'm sure it won't effect potency but I guess I'm just gonna have to make a test batch and see how it turns out. I will definitely alter my bud to butter ratio when cooking to make up for all the seedsšŸ‘
Thanks for the input

What do you tend to make with your butter? If it is desserts, then you can try making coconut oil instead. Potency remains the same (or even better due to higher fat content), but taste is drastically improved (if you enjoy coconut, which I do). Some may say butter is better for desserts, but that is only because they aren't using recipes that call for oil and are instead substituting the butter in a recipe with their coconut oil. Oil recipes are just as good as butter recipes, they just require different ratios of the same ingredients.

Also, if you worry about potency because of the seeded bud, you can throw a bit of keef in from the grinder. Or just some good bud to supplement the potency.

The seeds themselves dont have any thca, just the stuff that makes a plant, so processing them into butter would just add to the plant flavor that butter already has. The surrounding calyx itself doesnt have to be less potent and still has what you want. Taste and color can be dialed back just by using more water when cooking.

Edit: I would personally treat the seeded buds weight as trim weight, so you'd need about x3 more than usual. But that's not a direct suggestion.

You could probably strip a couple of buds off of the stem, break them up and weigh them seeds and all! Then remove the seeds and weigh What is left! If the seeds count for 60% of the weight, then you might have to compensate for that by adding more material! And since the Tricom heads are where the rubber meets the road, and contain almost all of the cannabinoids, if it is Tricom challenged bud or clear head bud itā€™s probably gonna be weak! Pretty much like early chop!šŸ˜ˆšŸ˜† a.k.a. daytime butter! Lol!

Good point! Let me think.
You can toast seeds in a pan, so 230F in the oven shouldnt pose a direct issue, but they do heat up more quickly then the rest of the leafy material and could then bake the calyx around it too fast.
Since most seeds will be inside the pods you could either decarb on a lower temp than usual, like 222F or 212F and leave the seeds, still with risk over overbaked spots. Or you bake it for a bit making it easier to seperate the seeds from the bud, pick em out and continu baking. Using toasted cannabis seeds in food is actually a thing, they're quite healthy.

It sounds like the OP is wanting to make green butter. I love edibles but I don't like green butter. My method uses wax concentrates. I live in an area where you can buy concentrates rather cheaply so I'm not at home blasting my weed to make edibles. If you choose to blast at home, please be careful!

I substitute wax for flower and make my butter using concentrates. You can taste the hash in the butter but it has no green taste. It makes delicious hard hitting desserts!

I cook with hash instead of processing the flower. I dry hashed my afghan last winter and I make mini chocolate cookies with it. Much easier.
Process:
I decarb half a jelly jar (about 4oz.) of hash in the oven at 240 for about half an hour.
Then I add butter to the jar and warm until soft and gooey.
(hold or place jar in hot water to warm the butter)
Use in cookie recipe.
Measure 3 different sizes of cookie, weigh dough or use a measuring spoon.
Test, test, test.
(oh, and keep the dough in the fridge while testing)
Make the rest of the batch.

It's JUST that easy. LOL

A bud of mine used to put pieces of hash in milk and warm it up. But we never cooked with it, only larf and trim we'd get from places. It was so green and strong we'd call it hulkbutter.

Using hash for edibles sounds good, but i was wondering if it wouldnt be way more 'expensive' to make in contrast to the amount of weed you would need?

If you have to buy it, of course it's too expensive to make with hash. But when you grow your own and have an overabundance it's preferred. šŸ˜
And the cookies can be small, like the size of a quarter and do the trick. LOL
(at least for me, 125 lbs.)(hubby has to eat at least 4-5 of them)
