the only tips i would give are really simple things. trim with a setup that allows you to sit or stand, and switch between them when you get uncomfortable. keep your scissors real clean with isopropyl alcohol and make sure they're sharp.

Alright, I'll have to check around but that seems pretty simple. Thanks! You seem to know your poo poo.

yeah once you sit down with a plant and trim it for three hours you figure out what works well and what doesn't pretty quickly. just try to stay in a comfortable position and do what works for you (i am a lazy trimmer now because IDGAF, if it has trichomes on it it can stay more or less)

these trim bins are pretty nice as well, the screen filter never really does anything for me but it's a comfortable way to do it https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00884Z6F4/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

i like trim because i make hash too, so i usually cut off all the sugar leaves but don't buzzcut the entire bud to get a smooth shape. leaving the sugar leaves honestly doesn't make much of a difference in the smoke, i just like the look of them trimmed a bit.

if you're swimming in good weed it's a lot more fun to have tons of edibles in the freezer than a bunch of hash made from the same weed imo. unless you're also dabbing a lot in which case the weed probably doesn't do poo poo for you without hash on top, but that's a self-inflicted handicap

i would much rather have a couple grams of hash than a pile of edibles. but i don't like edibles as much as most people.

Speaking of edibles, I keep wanting to make some butter/coconut oil and always end up overwhelmed with the amount of variation in decarbing/recipes.

Is anyone willing to share their tried and true method?

Edibles require experimentation, I made a ton in the last few months and I still don’t have any idea what I’m doing.

Edibles are sketchy for me, but I usually make edibles with reclaim, so I rarely get super stoned but more get hit with that locked into the chair mode until I doze out.

Easy way is make stuff in muffin pans so you can weigh out what you want to put in each individually. 100mg of 70% shatter in a muffin sized dose would be little less than 70mg (loss of -a during decarb) for whatever you put into that muffin pan. Make the recipe like the box says, break down shatter or wax and weigh it out, dump it on top right before you put it in the oven, minding the temperature. Just do the math and make single size servings.

Every time I've made edibles, the high they've given has been fairly unpleasant - feeling more like nausea or drunkenness (head spinning, heavy stomach, etc.) than the pleasant high from regular ol' vaping.

My experience with commercial edibles is limited, but similar.

Vaping is easier on the waistline anyways. :shrug:

Edibles are great for doing stuff where you can’t spark a joint every half hour.

Sorry for toleranceposting, but lately I’ve been going through something like .5-.75g a week + maybe one or two 25 mg edibles, spread throughout the week. Is this enough for my tolerance to creep up or are numbers that low unlikely to affect it?

Only you can know your own tolerance. Does it feel the same when you use it each time? If not, you're building a tolerance.

Truth. A couple months ago I was tapering off an SSRI and doing a t-break concurrently. Apparently I was "grouchy" and "kind of a dick" according to my wife and a couple friends.

New brain drugs and some MK Ultra and all is well again!

this is like $15 a week on weed. if your tolerance goes up... maybe bump it up to a 20???

The problem is a 1 week t-break is actually perceived as thousands of years due to the space-time decompression

I mixed 5.4g of decarbed weed into some yogurt and took lecithin and ate a mango. If this doesn't work, I'm done with edibles, but moon or bust man. Moon or bust.
