because I know for a fact that the dark hash I brought was new and wasn't getting oxidized. there is another reason why it's dark. imho, plant material was kept/mixed with the oils and left on the nets.Why go through that effort when it can be proven by taking snow white full melt hash, pressing it with a lot of heat, and leaving it to age? I can guarantee that after that it will not be snow white, do you disagree? The proportion of THCA to other actives will be lower, but no plant matter magically entered it.

it looked like this.
I agree. that's why we need to get HPLC test results. and ofc hash is rare in the USA, so we can't find anySure, your hash might have been full of plant matter, I don't doubt that. But that's not the only reason for it to be dark.
that's also something to consider.... if the color is being more dark because of the mixing of plant material and water.....Also for example kief is normally very light colored… but most of the time it contains a lot of plant material…
So I think the water content and drying of bubble can also contribute to color changes
As I mentioned before there are a lot of possibilities why hash is dark…
And off course contamination with plant material is one of it but not the only one..
But why you get two different outcomes of same starting product? As mentioned before dry the same bubble in a freeze dryer ( you will get light color) and dry the same bubble in room temp. ( also the longer it takes to dry and the warmer the drying temp is the darker the same material gets, this is my experience)… do not know if the process of heat, drying time, oxygen and so on is oxidation, but some reaction happens that is for sure…that's also something to consider.... if the color is being more dark because of the mixing of plant material and water.....
drying is a physical change, reaction with O2 is a chemical reaction... that's why I think it will not get oxidized during drying..... I am not sure at all..... the temp is not too high during drying.... I hardly doubt it will react with O2 so quickly......
*inside water you don't have O2, O2 comes from the air.... air contains 79% N2 and 20% O2.... 1% CO2+mold+organic compounds+water
and for oxidizing Terpz/THCA you need energy. high temp. during drying you don't have high temp.... it's room temp or less
maybe because this product has 12% of H2O:But why you get two different outcomes of same starting product?

“What is Piatella you may ask? Piatella, pronounced “pee-ah-tay-ah”
Just so you know, that's not my quote, it's the owner of Hazy Hill Farm's quote. Maine isn't known for being the most culturally diverse community, or well traveled... but they are heavy readers.
Edit to add: before anyone comes in to inform me that it’s a Spanish tek that just happens to use an Italian word, you might want to ask a native Spanish speaker how they pronounce mozzarella.
On a side note, listen to this clown say they're the only ones making Piatella outside of Spain:
....? Are you talking about the knife that's being used to cut the hash in the video? I guess I'll have to take your word for it... We have lots of stuff from all over the world here, including people... it's kinda one the big selling points of America...Opinel really made it all around the world. But that's understandable, it's an amazing knife.
The Opinel no 8 is a classic. Carbon steel blade, pear wood handle. The iconic French picnic knife.Yeah, they’re referring to the knife used for cutting the hash. Nice French knives with a distinctively iconic look to them.
Clown indeed. That doesn't look anywhere near the same qualityJust so you know, that's not my quote, it's the owner of Hazy Hill Farm's quote. Maine isn't known for being the most culturally diverse community, or well traveled... but they are heavy readers.
