Understanding
hash.
Start with the terminology: trichomes, hash, rosin, and resin. This guide explains the distinctions and points to the records that add context.
Start with the resin01 / The starting point
Look closer at the plant.
The crystal-like coating on cannabis is made of trichomes. Their resin-filled heads hold many of the compounds behind a strain’s aroma, flavor, and cannabinoid profile.
Hash is collected cannabis resin. Growing conditions and harvest details are covered in the Cultivation guide. Cultivation

One plant. Different paths.
Live rosin
Rosin made by pressing hash from fresh-frozen plants with heat and pressure. The same starting resin can be finished as fresh press, cold cure, or jam.
Plant → wash → hash → press
Live rosin ≠ live resin
Both can begin with fresh-frozen cannabis. “Live” describes the starting material; “rosin” and “resin” describe different extraction paths. Our live rosin is made without hydrocarbon extraction.

Cultivar tells you which plant the resin came from. Harvest identifies the growing environment and the specific run.
Micron describes a screen measurement. Tier describes a producer’s selection system. The Micron Guide explains the distinction.
Potency is one lab measurement. It cannot, on its own, tell you how a jar will smell, taste, or handle.
