Drop that temperature down, and suddenly your resin starts behaving like the well-mannered extract it's supposed to be. Cooler conditions help those trichome heads maintain their structure, leading to better separation during washing and way less material loss throughout the process. You'll notice cleaner screens, easier collection, and hash that looks more like what you see on Instagram.

Think of Terp Warz as the Olympics of solventless cannabis, but way more fun and with a lot more good vibes. At its core, this event exists to celebrate and elevate solventless cannabis culture in all its forms. We're talking about a competition where the most skilled extractors from across the region bring their absolute best work, their cleanest bubble hash, their most luscious rosin, and their most innovative techniques.

Every July 10th, the solventless community comes together to celebrate 710, our unofficial holiday honoring hash, rosin, and everything that makes the art of extraction so special. For years, The Press Club has marked this occasion by creating something meaningful for our community, whether through educational content, product innovations, or special releases that capture the spirit of what we do. This year, we're stoked to announce our most exciting 710 collaboration yet: a limited-edition sticker

Fresh frozen material is widely accepted as the ideal preparation for solventless processing, but what if traditional air drying and curing is the better option for your operation? While proper drying and curing techniques are important for all cannabis applications, they become absolutely crucial when your end goal is solventless extraction. The delicate trichome structures that will eventually become your precious hash are most vulnerable during this transition period

We're excited to share this conversation with Cannaplates from a recent episode of the Homegrown Hashishan Podcast here on our blog. Thanks to the team at Homegrown Hashishan for making it happen! Hosted by Sonoma Sungrown and Don't Worry Be Hashy, this episode has everything you need with Cannaplates to press flower rosin. Plus, some fun stories about the early days of pressing rosin with a hair straightener.

While flower growers focus on bag appeal, trimming aesthetics, and curing perfection, hash makers aim for trichome preservation and contamination prevention from the very first cut. This shift in approach begins at harvest and continues through every step of material preparation, ultimately determining whether your wash water runs clear and produces pristine, white hash or becomes contaminated with chlorophyll that creates green-tinted, harsh-tasting final products.

The cannabis industry's evolution toward organic cultivation and sustainable farming practices has created opportunities for cultivators and processors to think not just about improving quality, but being more environmentally responsible. This is especially true for hash makers. While synthetic nutrients can certainly grow good cannabis, there's a recognition among serious cultivators that the path to truly exceptional hash begins with building healthy, living soil ecosystems.

Picture a master chef in their element. Inside of a beautiful kitchen, they are tasting a sauce for seasoning balance, feeling the texture of pasta between their fingers to test doneness, watching the color change as onions caramelize, inhaling the aromatic steam rising from a perfectly timed sear. They are totally focused, immersed, and one with the food. Professional chefs understand that exceptional cuisine emerges from engaging all five senses throughout the cooking process.
