Oil Extraction
Oil extraction refers to solvent-based and solventless processes used to isolate cannabinoids, terpenes, and plant lipids from cannabis biomass into concentrated forms. Common methods include butane hash oil (BHO), CO₂ extraction, rosin pressing, and ice-water hash production. Each technique yields different textures and compositions based on starting material quality, temperature, and post-processing. Breeders and processors often evaluate strains for oil yield, terpene retention, and cannabinoid density when selecting genetics for extraction-focused operations. Understanding extraction characteristics helps inform breeding decisions around plant structure, resin gland density, and chemical profile.

Strains bred for high resin production and robust terpene profiles are favored in extraction workflows. Breeders working in this category often prioritize yield metrics and stability of cannabinoid/terpene ratios across generations.
