Decarboxylation occurs slightly as the gland heads dry. This happens after you make the hash and dry it out, the same as drying the gland heads on the plant then separating and collecting them. Decarbing really occurs when ya smoke it. Raw hash and bud has little active THC.

That makes sense.

And as the trichome is exposed to air, light, and time, THCA will degrade to THC, which will then degrade to CBN, a far less psychoactive cannabinoid. By doing a potency analysis, you get the CBN numbers, and get a general sense how "fresh" the product is.

"In fact, with a high proportion of CBN, the high may start well but feels as if it never quite reaches its peak, and when coming down one feels tired or sleepy. High CBN in homegrown grass is not desirable since it represents a loss of 90 percent of the psychoactivity of its precursor THC"

who are you quoting??? some folks really like being able to sleep, and sometimes high cbn weed is just the vehicle for that... it sure is better than that "i've been up for 6 hours and i just want to sleep but i can't cause i harvested it too early" stuff... just sayin...

Quoting Mel Frank

Quote came from Marijuana's Grower's Guide by Mel Frank

Or more specifically:

And I would never argue with a patient with what they feel is the best medicine for them, as this plant is hard to pigeonhole. We are at the beginning stages of understanding the endocannabinoid system, and how cannabis interacts with the human body. Cannabinoids are only a part. Terpenes also play a roll. I can go on and on. I find it fascinating!

As for "general marketability", we have to consider the recreational smoker. As we can see, in general, people like a soaring high THC, uppity weed. Of course, not everyone. But this super high THC moves off the shelf.

* just to add, we have recently seen a new market for high CBD strains. That means they have lower THC, and generally produce a less psychoactive effect, and perhaps a more medicinal one. So you have a very good point, and not everyone wants the newest, most potent.

I don't. And I am not sure why but I don't. Maybe if you are going long term that would be good but make sure it's dry and sealed well.

One comment on this for the legal medical grower who has to concern himself with weight limits: If you freeze your trim while still wet, it does not count against the legal usable amount you can keep on hand. To me, that's the only benefit of freezing your trim.

freezing the trim also makes it easier to use depending on method of extraction, reduces the amount of lossage because of jostling and also helps overall contribute to a purer end product from spinning dry, wet (ice) extraction, or bho and variants (as there are less particulates from breakage ect)... lastly the trichomes tend to be more brittle (which assists if using wet methods)...

Beautiful looking hash, it is extremely rare to find decent bubble hash around Denver so recently I've been on a quest to make my own. I've read through so many guides/methods and your method seems to be the most well thought and thorough. I'm looking forward to trying soon. :clap:

I'll get some trim/popcorn buds in the next few days and try making with my bubble bags again.
