The visible oxidation and drying process where pressed hash loses its glossy appearance and turns lighter or white on the surface as terpenes evaporate and the resin structure degrades. A whited-out sample indicates significant terpene loss and diminished quality.
// From the Episode
Major discussion in Ep 023 about the Legends competition. Bubbleman says entries that white out before reaching judges are 'not even contenders.' Dry sift whites out faster than water hash. Vacuum sealing pauses the process. Matt the Great Gardener notes the Barb hash has about a 5-day window after pressing before white-out becomes visible. Timing of pressing relative to competition judging is described as critical.
