Hydrolife Magazine August/September 2017 [USA Edition]
One of the best parts about a budding industry like the marijuana industry is the personalities that emerge. For more than a year in these pages, we’ve worked hard to bring you the latest information, history, how-to methods, and products surrounding cannabis. In this issue, we’re focusing a little more on people, including Jim McAlpine, founder of the 420 Games and Power Plant Fitness.

FROM<br />

You know the old cliché: one<br />
person’s trash is another person’s<br />
treasure. Well, here’s how to make<br />
some marketable treasure from<br />
your trimming trash.<br />
by Lee G. Lyzit<br />
After harvesting and trimming a cannabis garden,<br />
a grower is left with two things: well-manicured<br />
buds and a bunch of leftover trim material. The manicured<br />
buds are already marketable and require no<br />
more attention aside from proper curing. The trim material,<br />
on the other hand, is not very marketable;<br />
however, with a little work and creativity, even<br />
trim material can be converted into a number of<br />
valuable cannabis products.<br />
To turn this trash into stash, a grower<br />
must extract the cannabinoids from<br />
the plant material. Thankfully, there is<br />
no shortage of extraction methods for<br />
cannabis trimmings. In fact, it seems<br />
like new methods are continually being<br />
discovered. Before jumping into the<br />
extraction game, however, a grower should<br />
closely examine some of the different<br />
ways to make cannabis extractions. Every<br />
method has different advantages and<br />
disadvantages, but what it really comes<br />
down to is which type of product is desired<br />
and the grower’s personal preference.<br />
