I get a number of questions every day inquiring as to how I make purple dabs, so today I’m going to give you the information you need to squeeze out some purple of your own.
Flower rosin is an extract that has become more popular because it’s easy to make, safe and the quality of the end product can be superb. Making flower rosin can be as simple as using a hair straightener, parchment paper and a small bud to create a solvent-less hash product. You don’t need an expensive closed loop system, and you aren’t working with volatile solvents that can potentially blow up, so it’s become the go-to for making oil at home. Plus, if done right, you can press out some high quality dabs in a jiffy.
What is flower rosin? Flower rosin is made with the application of heat and pressure to extract the essential oils from the cannabis plant. Cannabis flowers contain a large portion of moisture, so with the application of heat and pressure, you create steam vapor pressure, which ruptures the membrane of the trichomes and forces the essential oil to the nearest resting place away from the water source and applied pressure.
The color of flower rosin is gold a majority of the time, but we can yield purple or reddish colors if we approach the process with a slightly different variation to the standard Rosin Tech practice.
Can any plant make purple rosin? No! In order to create purple rosin, you will need the presence of anthocyanins in the cannabis. Anthocyanins are naturally occurring chemicals that are responsible for red, purple and magenta colors in cannabis.
Can any purple bud make purple rosin? Yes and no! In order to squeeze out purple rosin, you need to use freshly harvested purple flowers. After you hang your plant to dry, wait about 36-48 hours before squeezing. At this point in the drying process, the moisture content is still very high in the buds, and the pH levels within the trichomes are still stable because it hasn’t gone through any oxidation.
With all that established, let’s get to work!

Pro Tip: To ensure the flavor stays intact and as bright as possible, keep your temperatures as low as you can, while still yielding a decent amount of oil. If you overheat the flower, or press it too long, go ahead and rent some movies because your dabs will taste like burnt popcorn. Alternatively, you may need to increase the heat slightly depending on moisture content and the strain that you are working with to get a proper yield.
Pressing out flower rosin is a learning experience. Each variety should be treated differently, as they are all unique in their own way.
This should be a good starting point to get you going. Practice makes perfect!

This is stupid and a waste of time and bud. You're going to get a better product if you do this properly with a decent extractor, quality butane and a vacuum pump with at least 3.0 CFM to reach the required vacuum pressure to make proper oil. You can also use co2 but that's more expensive and the results are going to be the same if you use the proper 3.0 CFM vacuum pump to remove ALL of the butane.
Dude, I make purple rosin and mine tastes like blueberry grape and I sell it for 85 a gram. Also bho may yield more but us7ng fresh frozen trim to make bubble hash and then pressing that into bubble hash rosin is the best you can make it. It's way more potent pure and has lots or terpenes. If you look at the dispensary the most expensive concentrates are made with a rosin press and use fresh frozen trim. The author must not be an experienced extractor or he would be able to pull the terpenes out with it. But I grow buds with purple trichs.

Lies that's fradulant prob out a crayon in their u morons
No, it's not crayons and don't be jealous just because you can't make it or don't have the equipment to. I'm a beginner growing at an expert level and an expert at extraction with bubble has and rosin. I actually just stumbled onto the process experimenting. But the author of this article just wrote this after I sent an email about it. But he's wrong about the terpenes. Or maybe I grow better flower than him. But i make that unstable stuff that won't get hard in the fridge cause it's loaded with terms. And my purple stuff is a marble colored purple and it's incredible perfection. It tastes like big league chew grape and blueberry syrup combined.
Its real...I saw some beautiful Purple Moon Rocks on Facebook High times from Dave Purple Haze Cohen
