I started growing in 2019 and learned soon after that small, hobby grows don't produce enough to have someone process for you.
If you get 100 grams of material, and it yields 3-5 grams of final product, to then pay a 30-50% toll means you went to all that hard word for a couple grams.
So, I decided to try making hash myself.
5 Methods For Making Solventless Extracts at Home:
Dry Sift Dry process using dried buds and various screens to sift and collect trichome heads.
Dry Ice Uses dried buds and dry ice (solid CO2) to flash freeze and filter trichome heads.
Bubble Hash Ice and water are used to agitate and chill plant material (fresh frozen or dry) to encourage separation of trichomes. These are then air or freeze dried.
Hash Rosin Applying heat and pressure to bubble hash or dry sift using filtration (micron bags) to extract resin and remove plant material (like gland cuticles) for a more refined experience
Flower Rosin Applying heat and pressure to dry flower, using a filtration bag or not, to extract resins from the material.
While I started with dry methods and flower rosin, I now process all of my material as Bubble Hash and Hash Rosin.
