Cannabis Extraction Methods: Quality and Innovation

---

Grown IN Organic Live Soil, our plants selected for live products are quickly hand trimmed and shucked before undergoing hydrocarbon extraction. This process takes place within 15 minutes of harvesting to ensure optimal quality. All cured plant material, including live resin concentrates, is extracted within 30 days of harvesting, accounting for drying time, to preserve the freshness of our dabbable cannabis concentrates.

All plant material is processed through two distinct extraction methods. Hydrocarbon extraction is utilized to create the cannabinoid-rich base for our cannabis concentrates, including our premium live resin concentrates. Additionally, a specialized solventless distillation process is employed to capture a terpene-rich, cannabinoid-free volatile fraction known as cannabis derived terpenes (CDTs), which can be incorporated to add strain-specific flavor compounds to any of our products.

Sugar - Our cannabis concentrates, particularly our sugars, are all grown in diamond miners. This process means that some batches will come out with a diamonds and sauce consistency, while others will exhibit the more traditional applesauce sugar consistency. The two to four week slow purge in the miners allows for optimal terpene preservation, resulting in some of the most flavorful high-potency extracts on the market, perfect for enthusiasts of live resin concentrates.

Shatter - Known as the OG of hydrocarbon extraction, our shatter is crafted by pouring oil out of our extractor onto a sheet and applying a deep vacuum on the oil to flatten it into a smooth glass-like slab.

Wax - Our waxes, a favorite among cannabis concentrates, are meticulously hand-whipped at room temperature until the oil just barely thickens. They are then sealed in an airtight jar for overnight curing to achieve the typical waxy texture. To enhance the flavor and aroma, we reintroduce strain-specific CDTs and whip again, resulting in our award-winning soft, buttery finish with unmatched fragrance.

Full spectrum live resin concentrates are crafted in our lab, where we begin with freshly harvested cannabis buds frozen to -50°C and meticulously broken up by hand before placing them into our extractor. Utilizing hydrocarbon extraction, we soak the buds in pre-chilled solvents, allowing us to selectively extract only the highest quality cannabinoids and terpenoids from the fresh flower.

Sugar - Similar to our cured sugars, all live sugars originate from diamond miners. By combining the quality of fresh cannabis plants with a prolonged four to six-week slow purge, our live sugars boast a significantly higher terpene content than cured sugar, providing a robust flavor that nearly transports you to a garden filled with live plants.

Sauce - Our award-winning high-terpene full spectrum live sauce, used for our cartridges, disposables, and to enhance live waxes, undergoes our longest purging process at a minimum of eight weeks. We apply a specialized technique to liquefy the oil while safeguarding the terpenes from degradation. Purged of all residual solvents under gentle yet precise vacuum conditions maintained below body temperature in a glass tumbler, this extract is meticulously prepared to exemplify the pinnacle of terpene-rich cannabis concentrates.

Wax - Hand-whipped delicately at room temperature, jarred early, and cured overnight under refrigeration, our live waxes receive the utmost attention from our team of master hashmakers, ensuring that the most delicate flavors are preserved in the final product. HTE from our live sauce process is then reintroduced to achieve a flawless badder consistency infused with all the flavor you desire from a live extract.

All distillate produced in our lab is crafted from triple filtered crude oil, which undergoes hydrocarbon extraction before being decarbed and distilled three times. This process results in a nearly flavorless, nearly clear, high potency oil that serves as the base for our distillate cartridges or disposables. We then mix this oil with either natural flavors or our in-house cannabis derived terpenes, enhancing the experience with notes reminiscent of high-quality live resin concentrates.
