// Definition
The principle that hashmakers are responsible for purity (removing contaminants and isolating trichome heads) rather than quality (which is determined by genetics and cultivation). Quality reveals itself through the purity process but is not created by it.
// From the Episode
Bubbleman articulated this distinction as a key insight that took the hashmaking community years to understand. Early resistance to scaling up (e.g., from 5-gallon to 20-gallon bags) stemmed from conflating purity with quality. He credited Skunkman Sam with teaching him that large-scale cannabis can be exceptional quality, and that projecting personal limitations onto scale is the real barrier to progress.
