I'd love to hear what people have to say who are more knowledgeable on the matter than I. After doing some research, and testing of expensive rosin myself, it doesn't really seem like it should cost like 2-3x more than concentrates made from other extraction methods. But if I'm wrong someone correct me. I'd love to learn more. It just seems like we're paying more for hype than anything else
People are (rightfully) dunking on you but alright let's go through this step by step.
BHO/C02: Grind your weed. Blast the solvent through. Strip solvent. Pack. This is a highly automate-able process that has a high degree of consistency.
Hash rosin:
Freeze within a 20 minute window from chopping. This takes space and electricity and underpaid labor.
Wash. This takes space electricity equipment and qualified people.
Freeze dry. This takes space electricity equipment and qualified people.
Squish. This takes space electricity equipment and qualified people.
Cure. This takes time and qualified people.
Solvent extract is like the strawberries or cranberries of the weed world. Yes you need people but things are very easily serialized and automated.
Rosin is closer to... Beef jerky or macadamia nuts. We're only just now unlearning a lot of assumptions for the hashing steps that made things more swingy and the requirement for giganerds to do hard physical labor in the cold narrows down your potential work force quite a bit.
