Trim run

In the cannabis concentrate extraction industry, accomplished and innovative extraction artists will commonly perform designated trim runs in order to produce sizable volumes of comparatively affordable quality concentrates by relying exclusively on discarded leaves, stems and tiny accessory floral fragments leftover after harvest processing as the singular raw plant source material stream being processed, instead of using up high value manicured cannabis buds and less abundant sugar leaves trimmed directly off of them. Despite having lower overall percentages of desirable cannabinoids like THC and CBD due to less visible trichome gland density compared to premium floral buds, when properly executed, trim designated for extraction runs still retains more than adequate amounts of essential oils and compounds that skilled extractors manage to efficiently pull and preserve from the plant material into the resulting trim run products like shatter, wax, distillate, live resin and isolates meant for consumer sales and distribution. While extremely fresh frozen material generally retains larger concentrations of terpenes and leads to superior quality, using thoroughly dried and cured trim to conduct full initial extraction runs also still generates reasonably satisfactory commercial cannabis oil end products that provide customers with more affordable and accessible options. So when performed using well-refined methodology and equipment, transforming accumulated trim remnants otherwise regarded as nearly worthless waste byproducts into serviceable consumer cannabis concentrates allows companies to significantly boost their bottom lines and reduce unnecessary waste.
