Making Good Hash Rosin = Life

NOVEMBER 27

2017

I strive to approach life like making good hash rosin; moving methodically with consistent purpose and always putting my best fot forward.  Details like filling the bag to the edges and the method of folding parchment paper really do matter and make the difference between decent and truly outstanding product.  Truthfully, I used to believe that aggressiveness would serve just fine in every situation.  I am thankful to have learned already that in matters of high craftsmanship,  the delicate touch can often go so much further than the brutal smash.

As rosin is a derivative product, the quality of the cannabis is of utmost importance as its characteristics serve as the limitations to the resulting bubble hash, and further down the line, to the final rosin. It may be true that under usual circumstances, ‘Perfection’ may be the enemy of ‘the good’, but when dealing with products of the utmost standards, whether as medicine or as exclusive luxury goods, nothing short of phenomenal is acceptable.

As I mentioned before, with high end hash, trash is just trash and does not translate to cash.

Where is the sweet spot for full melt?

MAY 31 2019 Holding fast to preconceived notions will result in missing some gems.   We hashmakers all "know" where to find the sweet spot where trichomes have the best representation of the plant at that moment both in flavor, melt.  Certainly the spot is found in...

My cannabis plants are chilly and I need to be patient

03 JUNE, 2017 It's the first week in June and this is when everyone in the Bay is putting their cannabis plants outside to enjoy the bountiful sunlight.  I put my plants out a few weeks ago.  Acclimating is taking a little longer than I would like.  The plants are...

Bronze will never be mistaken for gold

Advanced Autumnization
