Ice Water Extraction

- IWE is a Solventless cannabis concentrate.The process includes just water, ice and fresh frozen cannabis buds.

-Once the cannabis is processed using IWE we are left with the isolated trichomes or resin heads which can them be pressed into Rosin

- Rosin is a way to further refine the IWE into a concentrate using heat and pressure.The Isolated trichome heads are placed into a mesh bag and pressed between two plates. When the plates reach a certain pressure the rosin comes flowing out. Creating a smokable product. That is the cleanest form of cannabis concentrate.

Why Ice Water Extraction?

- This is our preferred method of trichome extraction because it only requires water, ice and cannabis. It is extremely safe and free of any harmful chemicals.

-IWE and Rosin have higher terpene levels than solvent based extracts which make flavor profiles more apparent and create an entourage effect with the cannabinoids for a more full body high.

- Rosin melts cleaner than a solvent based extract for a more appealing appearance.

- The vapor produced from rosin tends to be considerably smoother than that of solvent based extracts and is a lot more palatable.

No-till Living Soil

Ice Water Extraction

- No-till farming minimizes soil disturbance which helps keep carbon in the soil. It also enriches soil biodiversity, reducing the need for chemical fertilizers that emit greenhouse gases.

- Soil microorganisms, fungi and bacteria, critical to soil health, also benefit from no-till practices. When soil is left undisturbed, beneficial soil organisms can establish their communities and feed off of the soil’s organic matter. A healthy soil biome is important for nutrient cycling and suppressing plant diseases. As soil organic matter improves, so does the soil’s internal structure—increasing the soil’s capacity to grow more nutrient-dense crops.

- Living soil grown cannabis has a wider range of cannabinoids and the highest concentration of terpenes when compared to other synthetic growing methods.

- This means better flavor and a more enjoyable high.

- Living soil grown cannabis is considerably smoother when compared to cannabis grown using synthetic nutrients and chemical fertilizers.

At this level of magnification you can see the trichome heads sitting upon their stalks.

Those resin glands are what we aim to isolate through the gentle agitation of our ice water hash process.

Take note of the stage of development of each trichome head, indicated by milky, clear and amber expressions.

At harvest there is a variety of trichome heads.

That is where micron size comes in. Due to the variation in gland size we use screens in the IWE process to separate them.

With the hash being separated by micron size we have more control over the quality of the end product.
