About CBD
Agriculture & Seeds
Yes. B-11 is PSC’s in-house hemp seed variety, which we have been cultivating and developing over the last five years in different fields across Colorado. In 2018, the B-11 variety was approved by the Colorado Department of Agriculture (CDA) and the Colorado Seed Growers Association (CSGA) as a certified and exclusive industrial hemp variety. Lab tests conducted by the CDA yielded consistently positive results, ensuring that THC levels are below the 0.3% threshold.
In addition to our proprietary strain, B-11, PSC cultivates and grows a variety of certified strains, all grown under our strict in-house protocols, in the trusted hands of the local farmers we collaborate with.
CO2 Hemp Extraction
PSC uses CO2 extraction as its method of extraction. CO2 extraction is a process that uses pressurized carbon dioxide to pull the desired phytochemicals (CBD) from a plant. This method has proven to be one of the most versatile, cleanest, and safest means of producing hemp concentrates. It is also considered the more viable alternative to other methods of separation and extraction, as well as the most expensive one. CO2 is already a standard extraction method for the food and herbal supplement industries: from the decaffeination of coffee and tea to the extraction of essential oils for perfumes, this process has become commonplace in many fields.
CO2 is beneficial for the hemp concentrate market due to its customizability factor, and also because at certain temperatures and pressures it acts as a solvent, without the dangers of actually being one. When CO2 extraction is used to its fullest potential, the range of CO2-based products can be much broader than other extraction methods. Modification of pressure, temperature, and solvent ratios allows us to create various products, ranging from vaporizer-friendly oils to dabbing concentrates such as waxes, crumbles, and even shatters and saps.
There are several techniques available for extracting hemp. The two most common techniques utilized by extraction facilities across the industry are CO2 extraction and ethanol extraction.
We prefer the CO2 extraction over the ethanol based technique as the CO2 method has proven to be one of the most versatile, cleanest, and safest means of producing hemp concentrates. It is also considered the more viable alternative to other methods of separation and extraction, as well as the most expensive one.
