(Masterclass Session) “The way we treat that plant, the way we work with it will define the future!” were the wise words from our dear friend Frenchy. With that knowledge in mind our illustrious panel examines the art and science of growing cannabis specifically for hash production. Our panel includes breeders, cultivators, and hashmakers (many wearing multiple hats) will explore how genetics, terroir, and cultural practices influence trichome density, size, and integrity in outdoor environments. The panel will highlight strategies for optimizing plant health, harvest timing, and handling to preserve resin heads destined for fresh frozen extraction. From soil biology to environmental stress management, attendees will learn how to cultivate with resin quality as the goal. This discussion offers valuable insights for producing premium solventless concentrates from outdoor harvests.
