THC and POLLEN

Can THC be separated from pollen during the bubble hash process??.. Common sense would tell me that the pollen would probably mix with the Trichome heads. Or would it slip through most of the micron bags and end up at the bottom of the bucket?... I know BHO is an option and would probably be the best bet as far as separating the two. Ive stepped away from the BHO part of extracts and going strictly bubble and rosin.

"pollen" is male genetic material....female plants do not produce pollen.....you're aware of trichomes....not sure what else you could be referring to?

I'm talking about flowers that have been pollenated by a male plant. Trying to figure what I can do to them besides BHO after the seeds have been extracted.

Bubble hash is a good option. Dry sift, dry ice sift, rosin, edibles, tincture. Hell I even make cartridges for my vape after I've shucked my buds. Don't worry about the pollen, most should be gone, I don't think a little is going to hurt anything.

anything you'd do with it if they hadn't been pollinated....all seeding does is make it less appealing to buyers...if you weren't planning on selling it, just de-seed it and do w/e

Maybe ill freeze the material after the seeds are pulled out and do a bubble hash run. My concern is that the pollen might mix with the THC. I guess its unavoidable to a certain extent.

pollen is an inert substance as far as people go, unless you happen to have an allergy to that particular pollen. it's not going to do anything to you, or effect the way the thc effects you....at all. it also quickly becomes inert from absorbing moisture in the air. so unless your house is constantly below 30% rh...it's not going to be able to pollinate anything after a day or two....
i don't understand your concern about pollen....it's not a thing to be concerned about, outside of allergy or the possibility of impregnation...it has no effect on quality, taste, smell........
