“Fire in, Fire out” as the saying goes. Starting with the right seeds is crucial to the whole process. Making sure to keep and eye on the temperature and humidity of the environment.
After the selected seeds begin to grow they take 3 to 4 weeks in order to really get into their vegetative state, which then continues over the next 15 to 17 weeks. We evaluate each of the new plants and pick ones that we wish to transition into mothers by perpetually keeping them in a vegetative state and begin the clone making process.
For our outdoor grow, we take all of the clones destined for outside and put them into the field. We also make sure to leave enough space between each of the plants. Our field is maintained with organic living soil techniques ensuring safe and clean environment for both the plants and ourselves to thrive in.
We evaluate the growth of each plant utilizing microscopes, looking for determining factors in the trichrome structures. Once the color, shape and structure is optimal, it is time to cut them out of the field and take the buds off of the stocks. Doing this in a timely fashion is important so that our product remains “live fresh frozen”.
Once the buds and sugar leaves are taken off of the stocks they are weighed and labeled before being added to a freezer at the proper temperature.
Using cold water extraction techniques we being to extract the trichomes from the plant and collect the rosin before spreading it out onto a tray destined for the freeze dryer.
After setting the rosin into the freeze dyer, it takes an expert eye to ensure that enough moisture has been removed in order to make the next steps proceed smoothly, while still ensuring a high quality product.
Passing the rosin though a fine mesh, while maintaining a proper cold temperature, is important for this step. After this step is completed we end up with high quality bubble hash.
After the rosin has been sifted and stored in the proper conditions the final step is adding pressure and heat to the product so that it can form a live rosin concentrate.
