This thread is intended to decide what is the best and most cost effective way to process bulk raw whole flower into a concentrate form in order to stabilize the products value and long term shelf life.

the bud to hash to rosin process requires very little cash input and likely results in a better end product, although maybe slightly less of it.
As has been noted above, your product continues to degrade and devalue, so I would suggest making a concentrate out of it.
If it is last years harvest, much of the chlorophyll will have converted to brown pheophytin, which will make the extract dark.
If the darker concentrate isn't readily marketable, there are some alternatives, such as bleaching it, making Clear, or growing crystals, which there is a market for.
Bleaching!? what is this! and how to I remove that pesky pheophytin?
If this sits around long enough under light and heat, won't the THC begin to convert to CBN?
Isn't CBN being touted as the next CBD? One of the Breeders (might have been Med Tree or CBD Crew) was talking about how they are now focusing on CBN for their medicinal products.
If you pressed a pound or 2 and had it tested, and found the extract to be high in CBN, it might make it more valuable to some buyers.
It also tightens up the muscles at the base of my skull, which I often refer to as a Charley horse between the ears and leaves me with a hangover headache.
In my own case, it might be about perfect for lying around, fighting to keep my eyes open long enough to stuff my face.
Bensonite clay for bleaching. Try by itself or add enough citric acid to turn the alcohol solution bright yellow, and then filter through Bensonite filters to bleach and neutralize.
Shouldn't that be Bentonite?
