Soilgrown: The Hair Straightener Origin of Hash Rosin

Hash Church Context

Phil "Soilgrown" Salazar explained the origin on Bubbleman’s Hash Church in 2015, with other hashmakers like Cuban Grower on the panel listening in.

Low on Melts

“I like melts, I like to dab.” When he started getting low on melt, he began experimenting with his “no melts,” looking for something he could still dab.

It Came Down to Parchment

He frames the whole breakthrough through parchment, repeating that “in the parchment… it all comes down to,” like the paper was where the truth showed up.

The Early Clue

He flashes back to an earlier session where he overpressed bubble hash using his wife’s hair curler. That is when he noticed oils separating from the rest of the hash. At the time he did not think much of it, folded it back together, and dabbed it as pressed hash, calling it “some 3 star dabbing.”

The Moment It Clicked

Once he got low again, that old separation came to mind. He “broke out the flattener,” started flattening hash, saw rosin coming out, and says that is where he would collect it.

Tracing the Influence

Bubbleman asked why a hair tool. Soilgrown credits Nikka T, saying he saw him use a hair straightener to press hash.

Improvising the Tool

He explains he did not have a hair iron at the time, so he grabbed his partner’s straightener or curler, and it worked really well.

The 1st Flower Press

Later, sitting with his father in law, he pressed a bud between the straightener and squeezed as hard as he could, expecting nothing. To his surprise, he saw oils around the flattened bud, scraped them up, did it a couple times, and they dabbed it.

The Breakthrough

He says there was “no residue,” and he was shocked. Soilgrown sums it up as luck plus running out of no melts, and ends on “now it’s time to start washing,” still playing around and learning.
