VICE News - Lebanon's Hash Farms

Cannabis cultivation in Lebanon's Bekaa Valley is an ancient practice that dates back to the beginning of recorded history. During the Lebanese civil war between 1975-1990, it provided funding for feuding militias and turned Lebanon into one of the world's largest hashish exporters.

Today, Lebanon's feuding militias are still using drugs as a source of income. Under international pressure, the Lebanese government is cracking down on smaller Cannabis farmers while drug lords continue to act with impunity. Security forces confronting armed farmers defending their crops have lead to bloody gun battles between the warring sides. VICE News hung out with some of the farmers to learn about Lebanon's ancient hashish industry and see how crooked politicians are profiting from the chaos.

I would say that the whole material will be sieved again on a under 17microns sieve, then moulded on bricks/slabs and wrapped, then the bricks are warmed to around 60Celsius to improve flexibility and finally they are compressed with what i call hash mallets until they reach the ideal density,size,weight, consistency and aspect.
Hash Mallets

But this is just a guess, never been to Lebanon and even less to that specific farm, but i would love to

Nutrient demands change throughout the life of the plant, in general increasing during vegetative growth but decreasing during reproductive development.
