These four stages are normally spread across four companies, each optimizing its own step
and inheriting whatever the last one sent. Run them together and a decision made at harvest
is made by someone who knows what it does to the oil three weeks later. It starts further
back than this page, with the genetics the whole run is built
from.
01 — Cultivation
Growing the material
Plants grown from the company's own selected stock in a controlled environment, with
feed and flush recorded through the run. What a plant is given, and when, is where
the character of the finished product is either protected or lost.
02 — Processing
Drying, curing, grading
Harvest handled deliberately, not quickly: a slow dry, a monitored cure, then bucking
and grading. It is the least visible stage and the one most often rushed. It also
decides how a flower smells and how cleanly it burns.
03 — Extraction
Oil production
Processed material converted into oil for finished formats. The aim here is
preservation: carrying the aromatic character of the input into the concentrate
instead of stripping it down to potency alone.
04 — Manufacturing
White label, your name
Finished product made to an agreed specification and packaged under your brand,
produced in licensed facilities with test results following the batch.
