I figure 135c. for 15-17 mins would be a good target…should land somewhere between the 145c for 7 mins and the 122c for 27 mins.
Would that give a good mix of content and potency rather than trying to just hit 1 targeted heat and time?
Also…is this right?..
Exactly.
When you were doing a secondary heating process later (say making gummies etc) you could factor that into the overall decarb by reducing the initial decarb time a couple min.
If you notice the peaks of the decarb curves against the THC content on the Y axis, the lower the decarb temperature the lower the maximum THC content.
Implying to me that the CBN content is increasing on the lower temp/longer time decarbs. So your idea of 135C/17 mins. should be optimal.

Many thanks!!
And when baking, should I be looking for recipes that use minimal heat and minimal bake time?
We do.
My THC edibles are chocolate based so basically enough low heat to melt etc.
The CBD gummies we do are a similar low(ish) heat recipe.
Recipes for hard candy I haven’t tried. I’d think there would be some interesting adjustments for that.

I’ve got my weed in the oven.
Gonna do the double boiler method…so jist simmer water lightly in bottom pot and have butter and weed in top pot? Let infuse for 2 hours? Strain, done?
If you fully decarb it in the oven then you just need to keep the butter warm enough to be liquid while it infuses. I’d mix it up a little a few times but yea I think a couple hours should be good. I read something (reliability unknown) that said oil is fully infused in around 20 minutes. I always go longer to be sure…
Here’s where I’m at…
Melted butter on lowest heat. Added decarbed herb and removed from heat entirely. Should I add some boiling water? How long until I slowly reheat it to strain it? Am I missing something?
K…will keep the butter soft and melty for a few hours and then strain.
Not sure what you should do here exactly but I decarb with boiling water at 212 with the weed and the butter in a plastic pouch.
30-45 mins seems to be a good infusion time.
For gentle heat, a double boiler would be a smaller container with the weed and butter, in a larger container of hot water.
So you could transfer your gloopy mix there into something small enough to fit back in the pan, with some water.
@Gpaw @Foreigner @LennyB finished it up and made some cookies. Only used 1 cup of butter (half of what I made) in the butter cookies. Had 3 of them on Wednesday just before 3pm. By 7pm I was high as fuck!..straight-up wrecked!!
Worked awesome!!! Thanks for the help, gang!!
Welcome. Dosing hash is dangerous but doable 
I do a crockpot on low overnight
28-35 grams flower or trim
1lb butter
.5 liter bottle of water
Set crockpot on low
Walk away
Next morning I cheesecloth
Put in fridge
Grab hardened chunk and dump water
To reduce chlorophyll and color
Throw chunk back in crockpot
Add another bottle of water
Dump back into bowl when melted
Back into fridge
Pull chunk again and dump water
Water does a couple things for butter, makes sure it don’t burn and since water is a polar molecule it attracts and pulls out the contaminates we don’t want
Cheers yall
I’m just glad I stopped myself at 3 cookies…I had the most bizarre shopping experience that evening…lol.
Did you buy all kinds of weird shit or buy nothing because you were too weirded out? I’ve done both 
Lol…I felt like Brooks in Shawshank Redemption when he was released from prison as an old man.
“The world went and got itself in a big damn hurry…”
Felt like everyone was frantically running around while I was shuffeling along…I’m a big believer in good posture, firm handshakes and eye contact…I was staring at the ground, barely lifting my feet and all hunched over like Mr burns…lol…was an experience…lol…a completely different high than smoking.
Gf making some brownies today. Estimated thc content per large brownie is 180-190 mg…will post updates later. 
Here’s the recipe. We used 3/4 cup of butter and 1 oz of weed for the cannabutter.
I assumed 1/4 cup butter would be absorbed by the dry herb.
Getting excited!
I’d be careful with these… 28 grams of weed = 28000mg at 15% THC = 4200mg. Unless I’m reading something wrong, it seems like you used all of it in this one batch of brownies. 4200mg/9 = ~465mg per brownie. Of course, extracting the THC to the butter/oil isn’t 100% efficiency, but to get from 465 to 190 you’d have to be losing well over half the THC in the process. It’s probably closer to 70% efficiency, which means you’re probably looking at about 320mg per brownie here. Try eating half of one first and see how it does for you, I’d say.
I’m wondering what the saturation point of butter is… one ounce per 1.5 sticks of butter seems like a bit much to me, but YMMV.
