I have made an experiment and split a pound of trims in two. On one load I separated 120, 90, 73 and on the other I had all in the 73, it was unanimous everybody thought the 73 tasted and smelled better. You should experiment on your side and let me know the result. This is another lab test that would be interesting to check in details.
Fresh Frozen is an oxymoron by the way, a product is fresh OR frozen.
I love fresh trims hash, it is quite similar to Charas (hand rubbed resin), the raw/live resin has a unique taste and high. Plants are 90% water, held within cell walls that give support, structure and texture to the plant. The water is contained within the plant cell and when the water freezes, it expands by approximately 10%, and the ice crystals cause the cell walls to rupture from the inside out, which logically would be counterproductive to the overall cleanliness and purity of the resin.
There has been no study done on frozen trims, its effects on resin glands and their wax membranes, on terpenoids or flavonoids but scientific studies on frozen fruits and vegetables are available to make educated guess on the subject.
There are two windows of time available to access an optimum cannabinoid and terpene profile when making Hashish. The first one is when the plant is processed fresh, at the peak of its flowering cycle and the second is after curing the flowers for a minimum of three months.
Every grower understands the importance of drying and curing Cannabis flowers to perfection; it is mandatory to the final quality of the smoke.
The smoke of a flower dried in an oven in 5 minutes will not compare with a flower dried over one or two week in the shade and more so if the flower is then cured to perfection for a minimum of three months.
We are not drying and curing solely the leaf matter but most importantly the resin glands as well, as is apparent in the transformation of the terpene profile during the process.
The potency, flavor and nose of flowers that have been dried solely will never compare with a perfectly cured one and it is the same with Hashish.
Traditions are clear on the subject, trichome heads have to be cured for a minimum of three months before the sieving procedure on the plants or after in close container very much the same way that it is done with flowers.
