Only thing I'd add is trim is no where near 20%. That is bud percentages. I'd estimate bud trim at 10% and leaf at 5%.Without knowing the THC level of your weed it’s all guess work. But find out what the THC % of your strain on Leafy (or similar site) figuring that your trim is going to be on the low end. Let’s pretend it’s 20%, which means that 1g of your material = 1000mg * 20% = 200mg max THC.
When you decarb there will be a weight loss so you can either weight after you decarb or multiple by the standard 0.877 (which is used to calculate THCa conversion to THC). So your 200mg THC * .877 = 175mg THC.
Next is how well you’ll actually decarb, another unknown. If you have a machine it would be very high, but in the oven maybe you’ll only get 80% of your material fully decarbed. 175mg * 80% = 140mg THC. (This is kind of tricky as you might be able to further decarb during the infusion and baking process and not need this low of a conversion rate.)
Then there’s the infusion process of taking this THC and infusing it into your butter/oil. Butter is around 93%, so 140 mg THC * 97% = 136mg THC in your 1g of material.
Then it’s just a matter of figuring out how many doses (cookies and brownies) you have. If you make 10 cookies 136mg THC / 10 = 13.6 mg in each cookie.
Poke around on the Ardent site and you should find some good info.

Well if the bud % is 27% (Gorilla Glue) then your trim might be 20%. Obviously huge difference between sugar leaf trim and a bunch of fan leaves. I just used 20% as the math is easy.

Very true. I just figure anything I grow is 20% even though the genetics rank higher.Well if the bud % is 27% (Gorilla Glue) then your trim might be 20%. Obviously huge difference between sugar leaf trim and a bunch of fan leaves. I just used 20% as the math is easy. (But 10% is easy too)

Perfect answer. That's what I do too. IME anything made from trim tastes like shit. I use the whole bud and make dry ice hash. 250mg dose is too much for beginners.Have you thought about sifting your trim for kif and then decarbing that and put right into your recipe? That way you can literally weigh your kif and take guesswork out.
I have a bunch of flower in turkey bags and whenever I pour out a bag (normally onto newspaper) there’s a giant pile of “trim” that is left over after bagging up. Seems like a waste to throw it away, so it might sit around for a few days before I get wise (and tired of newspaper laying around) and throw it out. But in the meantime I’ll take a bong hit from the pile and normally get super baked. Since it’s already been trimmed/dryed I guess it’s got a fair amount of kief. But I’m always surprised since it seems like a pile of leaf.Very true. I just figure anything I grow is 20% even though the genetics rank higher.
So, I have seen a lot of stuff out there regarding the process of making edibles. Butter/ Oil in the crock-pot, seems to be the easiest method, but I have not been able to find anything that details how much dry trim I should use.
I know this is highly variable, but I will be using dried trimmings from my first harvest.
Is there anything that exists, such as a chart, that shows how much product relative to it's end potency? If anyone can link to a good and very detailed guide for making edibles from trimmings I would be friends forever.
Today I picked up; Vegetable Oil and Pack of Butter Sticks. 1 cookies mix and 1 brownies mix. 1 pack of cheesecloth
Yes essentially. The oil can dissolve about its own volume in canabanoids so you are never going to saturate it. You will start to build up more crap in it too with sequential passages but two should be fine. The other practical limit is that you don't want it to be so strong that a single bite of brownie is over the top...So you let's say I have a ton of trim and would rather have a more concentrated oil, Can you split the Trim into 2 batches and process the first batch and then use that oil product to process the remaining trim to make it stronger? Is that what youre saying?
