Fresh Chilled Hash, it is a concentrated cannabis done to make hashish with water and ice from very cold marijuana. With this technique, a hash of high purity is obtained.
With the Fresh technique, we get a very hard resin, and with much less amount of plant debris, a hash made with dried vegetable matter, since this is broken into small pieces very easily. Marijuana buds freeze, makes the trichome be separated in a simple, more easily than if you were at room temperature. This technique is able to separate a greater amount of trichomes, since cold frozen plant matter is used.
By freezing a fresh plant, including marijuana, we can see that ice crystals in plant tissues are formed and this can cause damage inside and outside the cells. Some varieties of cannabis do not tolerate frost, so you have to take into account this situation and choose seeds for cultivation that are very robust.
The ice begins to form in a plant with temperatures between minus 3 and minus 5 degrees. Whereas a plant consists of 80% water, also at this temperature ice crystals within all plant tissues are formed. But as the plant material is thawed, the ice crystals disappear, chlorophyll water is released and mixed with the resin.
Well, with technical Fresh Chilled not get to freeze the entire plant but is cooled to 4 degrees, marijuana is not stored in the freezer but in the fridge. If we choose this technique should do extraction before four days after harvest, because if not the raw material can degrade very quickly.
Using butane gas BHO
Freezing of cannabis is a very suitable option but keep in mind that the material must be completely dry before freezing. During the process it is important that the raw material is not wet, if this happens ice is formed in the trichomes and this would hinder extraction.
Throughout this process, it is important to purge well butane left over from the extraction, to do this, you can use several alternatives: simmer (which traditionally water bath is said, ie with boiling water under the vessel, with the raw material we want purge), heat to rapid fire or use a vacuum pump.
With BHO extraction is to maintain the maximum number of intact terpenes before rust, thus the intense flavor that we wish particularly be obtained. For this reason it is important to conduct a marijuana growing under optimal conditions, so the maximum content of terpenes and cannabinoids will be obtained.
The best thing is to use the parts of the flower where much of the resin generated by the plant accumulates, it is here where the level of terpenes, is higher. In the lower parts and branches, the concentration of cannabinoids and terpenes is lower, and the taste and effects of marijuana will be smoother.
