How to Make Solventless Cannabis Extracts at Home ​

Introduction ​

Solventless cannabis extracts are made without chemicals, using only heat, pressure, or ice water. These pure, potent concentrates are popular among health-conscious cannabis users.

Types of Solventless Extracts ​

  • Rosin: Made by pressing cannabis flower or hash with heat and pressure.
  • Bubble Hash: Created by agitating cannabis in ice water and filtering out trichomes.
  • Dry Sift Kief: A simple method that uses screens to separate trichomes from flower.

How to Make Rosin at Home ​

  1. Use a Rosin Press or Hair Straightener: Press flower between parchment paper at 180-220°F.
  2. Apply Pressure for 10-30 Seconds: Resin will ooze out, creating a pure concentrate.
  3. Collect and Store: Use a dab tool to gather the rosin and store it in a cool, dark place.

  • Solventless extracts use no chemicals, making them a safer alternative to BHO and CO2 extraction.
  • Rosin and bubble hash can be easily made at home with minimal equipment.
  • Proper heat and pressure settings are crucial for making high-quality rosin.
