really appreciate the advice, i'll definitely research making hash and try it out. it is a little intimidating to me, but so was topping my plants in the beginningMinimal smell, minimal effort..... great way to utilize unwanted buds and trim.
A lot of the flavors that we pick up from smoking flowers are left behind when you make extracts. I combine all of my trim and lower buds in to one run. I don't separate by strain. You certainly could if you chose to, but I don't bother. The resulting hash will have a smell of its own, and a flavor profile that will be different from the flower.
To bare that out all you would have to do is try water-curing a batch of weed. Anything water soluble (in the plant matter) leaches out in to the water, but the trichomes (and their contents) remain. The flavor of the bud will drastically change, and more closely mimic that of the hash that would be made from it.
IMO I think you might be surprised at what you end up with. Don't rule out making budder either. Potent edibles can be a real trip of an experience....
as long as there isn't any pine, i'll be good!
