Re: So you want to grow Marijuana, your ?'s answered here.

Cannabutter:

Hashmouf has a toutorial as well and uses only buttter no water.

I have understood the water is mearly a buffer and used only to add more liquid to the plant matter allowing more plant matter and thus more THC to be concentrated in a smaller amt. of the fat(butter).

The water also separates the good stuff from the bad so the butter tastes better,(nice when using it on toast or muffins).

The water boils at 212F. and with butter will not go much higher as to destroy the THC.

So while heating/cooking(and smelling up the place)the THC and cannabinoids(since they are fat soluble)will bind to the butter leaving the other waste in the water.

Reading posts from 2000-2003 ppl were using margarine and the THC was only slightly being bound and much was wasted in the water,now chemists know about THC being fat soluble and so do we.

Oil can also be used and is easier to make and is not as parishable as butter,so keep cannabutter frozen at all times.

yes its better to use water, just add that step in, & dont let the water/butter boil, if u do youll cook off the THC, & yes thc is non water soluble & fat soluble, & better in oil (which ive done w/ browinies).
