Episode #23: Flower Is An Unfinished Product with Nico of Trichome Science

This episode we are joined by Nico of Trichome Science.Nico is a hashmaker, product developer, and former Michelin kitchen chef now working at the forefront of legal cannabis processing in the Netherlands. I first got introduced to his products in Amsterdam through Terps Army and later through The Fairy House events, and we stayed in touch through a shared interest in hash. His perspective is especially interesting because he bridges old-world cannabis culture, high-end culinary technique, and the fast-changing legal markets in Europe.I asked Nico to join me today to talk about:* Working in cannabis in Amsterdam and the Dutch legal experiment* How Michelin kitchens shaped his approach to hash and edibles* Why he sees flower as the start, not the finish* The difference between edible makers and real culinary execution* What Germany is getting right with home grow and clubs* Hunting hash plants, reading resin, and chasing unique profiles* As well as his advice to other growers.
