Rotary Evaporator
- Lab

Today at the Outlaw lab we are using our Rotary Evaporator machine. This machine allows us to do a variety of processes that are essential to producing high quality wax products. To get here, we mixed ethanol with our cannabis concentrate to do a process called winterization (which we will highlight in the future). In this picture we are boiling the ethanol out of the cannabis concentrate (Fig. 2). We then have the condenser coils (Fig. 1) that catch the gas ethanol and convert it into a liquid where we can collect it for future use. The way this machine…

This Organic Tropicanna Cherry #8 from our outdoor greenhouse is BEAUTIFUL! These dense, purple nugs are so pretty you almost don’t want to break them down and smoke them… but you WILL. 😉 This strain is sweet, fruity, and incredibly tasty!

Is this the most beautiful strain of them all?

- Indoor Grow

Tropicana Cherry #8 may very well be the most beautiful strain we’ve ever grown. The #8 cut, also known as the breeders cut, is the most visually stunning and flavorful phenotype of this strain but with a lower average THC percentage. These colorful buds have amazing tropical citrus flavor with an extremely euphoric “sativa” style high and amazing bag appeal. With all of these traits in one gorgeous flower, Tropicana Cherry #8 is an amazing expression of what a sativa strain can bring to the table.
New Beginnings!

The previous crop was a massive success, and now we’re onto a new beginning. Starting a new round is always extremely exciting, but especially when the plants look this good on transplant! Our next round of organic greenhouse plants are off to a fantastic start, and we cant wait to slowly reveal which strains we’ve selected for this crop. Be ready for a few new organic options and some familiar faces coming out in the next few months.

Here at High Desert Relief we have Outlaw Extracts which is split into the Outlaw Kitchen and Lab. Here at the lab we work hard everyday to make a variety of concentrates, from live resin to distillate to isolate. We will be showcasing a variety of our products and systems used to create these products. Here we have a picture of our distillate used for edibles and certain vape cartridges. Distillate is made by using multiple strains and refining the THC into an oil product called Distillate.
Organic Ice Pie at the Greenhouse
- Outdoor Grow

Check out the insane colors on this organic Ice Pie! This is a picture from the most recent harvest out of the organic greenhouse. Thanks to the sun and some great organic inputs, the color and smell was out of this world! This Ice Pie smells like a jar of blueberry preserves, and always had my mouth watering every time I walked down the isle. This batch is still awaiting test results, but should be hitting the shelves soon. Keep an eye on the organic section at all High Desert Relief stores if you’re interested in a natural option.
