Can someone please measure 1 gram of powered bud and tell me how many teaspoons that is?

It's so strange because I've done this in the temperature range suggested and got very mild results. Then, I figured, what the hell, I'll just put it in the crockpot on high (which I know goes to 350F) for four hours and see what happens. This was pretty successful for me.

However, I think I'm still not getting the results I could be getting and here are two things I've found.

1) My oil is not turning dark green like everyone else's.
2) Using a 1:1 oil to weed ratio seems to give me a lot more oil than everyone else is using.

The pics in this tread make it seem like a paste and I don't have that. The last time I tried, when everything cooled, I had a layer of weed on the bottom and a layer of oil on the top, half and half. The oil was slightly green, but nowhere near the dark green I see in these pictures.

Also, It is interesting for me that you are measuring the temperature OF THE OIL and NOT the temperature of the crockpot.

So, you are saying that THE OIL needs to be at 230F? Is that correct? In my case, using my oven, the temp OF THE OVEN would have to be about 285F to get the oil to be 230F.

When you added the weed, did it sizzle? I've seen others say this and mine definitely doesn't sizzle.
