Back in 2023, I gave away a free course on making hash at home. Hobby hash makers around the world took it. This book is that course, grown up. I wrote Hobby Hash for one person: the home grower or hash lover who wants to make solventless extracts in their kitchen, garage, or spare room. No solvents. No lab. No $50,000 in equipment.
Every method in this book is one I've run at home. I share my real numbers, my real failures, and the exact steps I follow, so you can skip the expensive mistakes I already made for you.
Inside you'll learn: - What solventless is and why it's the safest way to make extracts at home
- Dry sift: the easiest way to start today with tools you already own
- Dry ice hash: fast, high-yield extracts on a budget
- Water hash: hand washing in buckets or coolers, machine washing, and how to dry it with or without a freeze dryer
- Rosin: pressing flower and hash, plus making your own rosin vapes
- New and trending techniques worth watching (and the ones that aren't)
- How to build your home hash lab at three budget levels
- Hash Math: what it really costs per gram, and whether it's worth it for you
- Troubleshooting: what went wrong and how to fix it
This is a ground-up rewrite with expanded methods, a full troubleshooting chapter, real cost breakdowns, a complete plug-and-play SOP library, a glossary, and a bonus hard candy recipe.
Your purchase also includes: - Free access to the Hobby Hash course community (redemption instructions inside the book)
- Free companion tools: an "Is It Worth It?" grow cost calculator, a hash yield estimator, a toll calculator, printable worksheets, and lab tracking sheets
You can make hash this week with what's in this book. The rest takes you as far as you want to go. Ben Owens is the creator of GrowHort, co-author of Clean Growing, and teaches growers around the world how to grow and make hash at home.
