Extraction

Firestorm Labs: live + cured BHO.

Intro · The premise

What we mean by
extraction.

Firestorm Labs runs in-house. Live + cured BHO, hydrocarbon extraction, distillate. Every batch is tested by an accredited Maine third-party cannabis lab.

The process · 4 steps

How it actually
happens.

  1. 01

    Flash-Frozen Input

    Live resin starts at the grow — fresh harvest goes straight to cryo, locking the volatile terpenes before they evaporate.

  2. 02

    Closed-Loop BHO

    Cryogenic n-butane extraction in a sealed system. We run multiple pressure curves to pull either live resin (mono-terps preserved) or cured resin (more cannabinoid forward).

  3. 03

    Distillation

    Cured material runs through short-path distillation. The result: high-purity Delta-9 THC distillate (see batch COA for exact potency) used as the base for carts, edibles, and infused pre-rolls.

  4. 04

    Third-Party COA

    Every batch goes to an independent Maine cannabis lab — potency, residual solvents, pesticides, mycotoxins, heavy metals, microbials. COAs available on request at the register; public archive in build for Q3 2026.

We freeze at harvest. Every minute the trichome warms up, terpenes evaporate. Cold extraction = the whole plant on the cart.

Extraction · FAQ

Common questions.

01Live vs cured resin?

Live vs cured resin?

Live resin is extracted from fresh-frozen flower at harvest, preserving the full terpene profile. Cured resin starts from dried/cured flower — higher cannabinoid yield, reduced volatile terps.
02Is BHO safe?

Is BHO safe?

Yes — in a closed-loop system, properly purged. Our extraction lab residual solvent tests pass Maine OCP standards (18-691 CMR Ch.40 — 5,000 ppm butane limit). Our COAs typically run well below that. Every batch documented.
03Can I see your COAs?

Can I see your COAs?

Yes. Available on request at the register. Public COA archive coming Q3 2026.
