Concentrates made with cold water hash and a press seem to be the ultimate product (high in terps with no added chemicals).
BHO seems to make a good product (high in terps), but requires toxic chemicals.
CO2 seems to make a more natural product, but less flavorful since it needs to be distilled (ethanol added during post processing, and has less terps).
Why is that? I would think that CO2 and BHO would yield similar products since the solvent runs through leaves and bud capturing waxes from the plant vs cold water hash only presses out cannabinoids and terpenes from captured trichomes.
Not a joke, just can’t sift through inconsistent information and trying to understand products better.
I hear products made with CO2 have low terps while cold water hash is high in terps. I thought it’s because CO2 has to be winterized and distilled because there are too much fats and waxes. While I hear BHO has higher terps, but still seems like it has to be winterized and distilled?
I know you’re getting flamed pretty hard but yes, you are supposed to do literally exactly that: sift through information to make a decision on which information is worthwhile. If you need help with that, there’s plenty here to help. If you want google for hash, you’re gonna be disappointed
while the ethanol is “distilled” off the resin, the resin never leaves the boiling flask, so calling this “distillation” when the product has not been distilled is not how we describe this process. “solvent recovery” is the generally accepted term (One should distill ones butane, but one does not call BHO distillate because you recovered the solvent!).
NO!
BHO is the product. Butane is the solvent.
Done warm you can pull almost as many fats and waxes as rosin. You can remove them or not pick them up by chilling your solvent. You can use ethanol (and sacrifice terps).
terps can be distilled off BHO.
terps can be pulled first with CO2
