Our friends at NW2NE.com can be your friends too.
If you want carbonated cured resin, that’s where you find it.

As a companion piece to the previous post discussing the elevated presence of molecules in cured resin HT FSE, specifically in regions that include flavor molecules like esters and CB antagonists we can look directly at the total sum of terpenes and known flavor molecules from one of our samples.⁣
⁣
When all Terpenes and Flavorants are calculated to 100%, some cured resin HT FSE can reach almost 15% flavor. ⁣
⁣
These type of tests are not available to commercial Cannabis, nor would they contribute meaningfully until your nose and tongue can be matched to the levels of these specific analytes providing a reproducible consumer experience for all those involved.⁣
⁣
It’s all about catch and concentrate. ⁣
⁣
Does your technique catch what is available and is it concentrated right? If you also catch impurities are they overpowering the desirables? If you choose to remove, are you missing something beneficial? ⁣

For 10 years we have been attempting to work with Chemists to analyze our main product produced from our unique extraction. ⁣
⁣
It continues to be a head scratcher. ⁣
⁣
We have now been caught up in also analyzing cured resin versus living resin concentrates and extracts or CRC remediated cured extracts. ⁣The Question? What is truly ‘Full Spectrum’?
⁣
With the help of an incredible team of Chemists, we have determined three defining attributes of cured resin as achieved through a balanced solvent extraction technique.⁣
⁣
1. A small molecule present in Cannabis in quite abundance. The identity of which is lost in the solvent peak of a typical GCMS analysis. It is an ultra volatile that might help the chemistry of the trichome achieve a liquid state without crystallization or polymerization of like molecules. It also may contribute to the dank smell in the air of growing cannabis. It is captured and retained with our solvent extracts and contributes to their liquidity.⁣
⁣
2. The red outline box in the chromas below show molecules larger than sesquiterpenes but smaller than Cannabinoids. This area is composed of monoterpene dimers and esters which contribute to flavor. These are speculated to be specific to cured resin, but also captured by our technique. Just like sesquiterpenes, these may modulate CB1/2 receptors, and contribute to effect.⁣
⁣
3. More minor Cannabinoids in Cured Resin (to the right of the red box). And to the right off the scale would be fats and waxes. These are typically avoided in GCMS of Cannabis but could reveal the absence of them in solvent extracts versus more abundance in living concentrates. ⁣
⁣
Still much work to be done optimizing GCMS to identify these little studied regions in Cannabis spectral analysis. ⁣

What is HCFSE

High Cannabinoid Full Spectrum Extract (HCFSE) is a term that has been attributed to Dr. Hayden of Extractioneering. HCFSE refers to a specific type of cannabis extract that captures a wide range of cannabinoids, terpenes, and other beneficial compounds found in the cannabis plant while minimizing the presence of impurities. The goal of HCFSE is to provide a high-quality, potent extract that delivers the full entourage effect, which is the synergistic interaction of all the components in cannabis working together to provide therapeutic benefits.

Cured Trim kinda glorious to see at if you know where to look.⠀
⠀
This one is Garlic Sherb by and it’s bursting with PVSC’s.⠀
⠀
Lots of these flavors hidden on the backside of sugar leafs in bulbs 40 micron or less. Some Amber, some cloudy, some desiccated long before harvest. ⠀
⠀
Gotta thank for this shot.⠀

Cured Cannabis Trim!⠀
⠀
The only part of Cannabis that contains an abundance of bulb diversity and the oleoresin complexity contained within.⠀
⠀
has been hard at work discover the secrets of cured trim, but the subjects remain quite elusive. Hours and even days goes into stacking an image only to find out it moved during capture, was focused on the wrong area, or wasnt what we expected.⠀
⠀
Even images of the bulbs themselves seem to be very difficult to make out, due to sizes around 10-30 microns. Seems there is many between 1-10 microns as well. Even the base of cystolythic hairs vary greatly in these studies. Typically they are simple structures made up of polysaccarides and calcuim carbonate (makes them white). But they do contain vacuoles in the basal portion.⠀
⠀
Regardless, we have identified that our most powerful, sprited, and flavorful extracts come from sugarleaf that contains an abundance of these smaller types or trichomes. It goes without saying that these examples come from phenomenal craft growers practicing soil and amendment techniques beyond your common grow. Care equals Craft. ⠀

Incredibly Blessed to have a team of people dedicated to digital documentation.
and the team at SC Labs keeping those click-clicks tight.
The cultivators and consumers deserve nothing less!
