// Definition
A cannabis cultivation philosophy that prioritises trichome and resin yield over dried flower weight or visual bag appeal. Resin farmers select genetics specifically for hash production potential, evaluate strains by percentage of extractable resin, and structure their entire growing operation around maximising the quality and quantity of extractable resin.
// From the Episode
Cuban Grower declared “growing for resin is the 2015 way for me” as flower prices trended downward while hash and concentrate prices rose. He described selecting genetics like Forum Cut Cookies that yield over 10% hash. Bubbleman described his walk-in freezer project designed to harvest frozen trichome heads directly from plants before drying, arguing that traditional drying causes massive trichome loss.
