I save the leafs from trimming the buds,I dont have any use for the large fan leafs so I compost them,I decided to try and make some hash with the trimmings and small under developed bud,I was quite impressed with the results,I used the alcohol method.the first time I made it this way and it came out very good,I would only use this method for small amounts at a time I dont think it would be good to try and do more than a few z,s.
