Lost Tribe Live Resin

Lost Tribe, also known as “LostTribe,” is a balanced hybrid strain (50% indica/50% sativa) made by crossing Kosher Kush and The T.R.U.T.H. strains. It’s famous for its high potency, making it a favorite among hybrid enthusiasts looking for a strong effect. After exhaling, you’ll experience a cerebral high that lifts your mood into a euphoric and slightly sedative state. As your mind elevates, your body will start to relax deeply, potentially becoming very stoney if you’re not careful.

With high THC levels, Lost Tribe is effective for managing chronic stress, depression, chronic pain, cramps or muscle spasms, and appetite loss or nausea. It has a sweet and spicy anise flavor with a flowery and peppery aftertaste. The aroma is similar, featuring spicy pepper, woody pine, and fresh earthy flowers. The buds are fluffy, rounded, and forest green with dark amber undertones, thin orange hairs, and a coating of frosty clear crystal trichomes.

What is live resin?

Cannabis concentrates are often named or described by their textures or consistencies: some are hard and brittle, like shatter; some waxy; and some like sauce. Live resin is a more malleable concentrate, sitting somewhere between a wax and a sauce—not quite like taffy yet not too wet.

It is typically dark yellow in colour but can vary from light yellow to white. Like all cannabis concentrates, it is extremely sticky, so you’ll need a dab tool to handle it.

Live resins tend to be potent with a lot of THC, and consumers love it because of its intense flavours and aromas which carry over from the original plant.

Benefits of live resin

Dabbers love live resins because they are more flavourful and “terpy” than other concentrates. In preserving trichomes and terpenes, they retain the flavour profile of the original plant. Preserving trichomes also keeps cannabinoids intact, and live resins are also known to be potent.

Growers like producing plants for live resin as well. Fresh freezing plants at harvest means growers don’t have to go through the long, arduous processes of drying, curing, and trimming plants—whole plants can be chopped down, frozen, and sent directly to the extractor. Producing plants for live resin saves growers enormous amounts of time, money, and labour.

How to Use Live Resin

Dabbing

Most people dab live resin. To do so, you’ll need a dab rig, torch, and nail, or an e-nail. You’ll also need a dab tool to handle the concentrate and place it in the nail, most likely something with a scoop on it, given live resin’s goopy consistency.

You’ll want to dab at a low temperature to preserve terpenes and flavours without scorching the concentrate—somewhere around 530°F.

Vaping with a dab pen

You can also put live resin in a dab pen, a device similar to a vape pen, except for concentrates.

Be sure to use a dabber tool to get the live resin into the oven or bowl of the dab pen. Then just adjust the temperature, press the button, and inhale.

Topping off

You can also put some live resin on top of a bowl, joint, or blunt for an added kick.

How to store live resin

Keep live resin cool and in an air-tight container, preferably in a fridge if you can. This will preserve the terpenes and keep it tasting and smelling great for a while.

Leaving it out in the open with the lid off will expose it to air, light, and heat, which will degrade the terpenes and make it less flavourful. This will also cause it to dry out and harden, making it difficult to handle.
