Determining how much THC is in cannabutter made from marijuana trimmings is a very difficult thing to do. It depends on amount of trim used, the potency, and whether all of the cannabinoids in the trim get successfully extracted during the cooking process. Are you using just sugar leave trim?
Or fan leaves too, which are far less potent that sugar trim. How frosty are your trim leaves — are they completely covered with trichomes, which contain the psychoactive cannabinoids? Less frosty leaves equals lower potency. One way to do this is to take a small, measured dosage of your final product. Try taking 1 teaspoon of your butter and spread it on a piece of toast and wait 3 hours.
Once you determine how much you need for a comfortable buzz, then you can use that to factor it into your edibles recipe.

Some crockpots cook hotter than others, ideally you want to keep it around degrees.
Try to cook for about an hour maximum, starting the timing once the butter has gently started to simmer. Turn the heat to the lowest setting once it heats up.
