when you get down to it
pure can mean a couple things. and none are completely perfect..
sift really of any type..obviously methods play a role..will have a small amount of plant matter and mostly intact trichome heads as well as some stalks.
this retains much more of the light esters etc that could have been lost
rosin uses heat, pressure and a filter to attempt to discard the plant matter..which does inevitably rupture cells, wether through the process or apoptosis of the tissue and carries to the color etc of the product. some compounds are lost as well and degradation to some of the more sensitive compounds.
but because of this the end product is more like hash oil
solvent extracts attempt to dissolve the trichomes leaving behind plant matter and low heat with a vacuum to preserve the goods. more compounds are lost with this than sift but less than rosin. the polarity of the solvent will determine how much extra wax is extracted unnecessarily from plant matter. winterizing will remove some heavier waxes but the extra fluid to discard ends up causing a loss in some lighter compounds.,why i prefer a more polar solvent like qwet or qwiso even with the yield loss. (iso is a good middle ground imo) but can also give a much dirtier product
whatever you choose is on you.
personally i quite enjoy good sift and put it right below my qwiso. i first made rosin idk 10 years ago, before i had ever heard the term rosin applied to cannabis...then it was the more sciency sounding hot melt extrusion technique we are familiar with. i have done it plenty..but would prefer the sift beforehand or the bud
but i also like 50-60% thc and lots of terps. you can tailor your extract to what suits you. getting quite high percentages of thc in rosin etc.
so whats pure to you? or why do you even want pure? pure what? thc?
id rather smoke quality sift than un wint bho laden with waxes that arent exactly good for you. i would rather smoke an extract high in terps than thc.
pure to me is the extract that most resembles the bud it came from.
anyway...im just talking...
