About 710 Labs: Quality Over Everything

Our Origins: Nurturing the Culture Since 2010

The story of 710 Labs began with a simple observation: the commercial cannabis market was moving toward mass production at the expense of flavor, purity, and safety. Founded in 2010 by Brad Melshenker, the company originated in Boulder, Colorado—a location known for pioneering clean, organic agricultural practices. As the cultural understanding of the plant shifted, 710 Labs expanded its footprint to Los Angeles, California, bringing a refined, small-batch mindset to the largest cannabis market in the world.

The digits “710” spell “OIL” when flipped upside down, serving as a global symbol for the concentrate movement. However, for our team, it represents a daily dedication to ancestral plant genetics and old-world extraction craftsmanship. We operate as a privately funded, fiercely independent collective of cultivators, scientists, and extractors who prioritize the health of the plant over corporate profit margins.

The Cultivation Philosophy: Why Living Soil Matters

The foundation of any exceptional concentrate is the raw material from which it is pulled. You cannot create clean, flavorful oil from sub-par vegetation. That is why 710 Labs heavily invests in living soil cultivation methods inside our indoor facilities.

The Biological Micro-Ecosystem

Instead of feeding our plants sterile liquid chemical salts through standard hydroponic setups, our cultivation rooms utilize complex beds of living soil packed with beneficial microorganisms, mycorrhizal fungi, and organic compost material. This active ecosystem breaks down organic matter naturally, allowing the root systems to absorb nutrients exactly when they need them.

This patient, natural process results in a significantly higher density of volatile monoterpenes and sesquiterpenes. When you buy 710 Labs online, you are experiencing the true genetic expression of the strain, completely free from systemic synthetic pesticides, heavy metals, or artificial growth regulators.

The Extraction Standard: The Art of Solventless Chemistry

While many commercial operations rely on chemical solvents like butane, propane, or ethanol to strip oils from the plant, 710 Labs specializes in solventless extraction. This process uses only ice, purified water, physical agitation, heat, and structural pressure to isolate the resin glands (trichomes).

The Ice Water Hash Process

Our extractors gently wash fresh-frozen, whole-plant material in ice water baths. This freezes the resin heads, allowing them to snap cleanly away from the green stalks and leaves. The liquid is then filtered through a series of ultra-fine micronic screens to collect the pure, unadulterated trichome heads.

Once dried, this ice water hash is pressed between food-grade plates under precise thermal and hydraulic settings to create our signature solventless live rosin. This method ensures that zero residual chemicals ever enter your body, leaving a clean, smooth, and highly effective product.

Related Products Available in Our Catalog

When browsing our network partners, you will find our inventory organized by processing styles and genetic lineages.

1. Persy Live Rosin & Rosin Sauce

“Persy” denotes our personal stash—the absolute highest grade of solventless extraction. Culled from the finest first-press trichomes, this product captures the raw essence of exotic cultivars like Ztan Lee #5 or Zimosa #2. The rosin sauce format undergoes a proprietary natural separation process, forming clear cannabinoid crystals floating in a rich, liquid terpene bath.

2. Hand-Trimmed Living Soil Flower

For purists who prefer traditional inhalation methods, our flower is slow-cured for over three weeks and meticulously hand-trimmed. We never use mechanical tumbling machines that damage delicate trichome structures. Our flower packs feature dense, frosty buds that burn to a clean, white ash.

3. Cultivar-Specific Rosin Gummies

Our edibles shift away from cheap, flavorless distillates. Every batch of 710 Labs gummies is infused with strain-specific solventless live rosin. Made with real fruit pectin, these vegan treats preserve the minor cannabinoids and terpenes of the parent plant, offering a full-spectrum, balanced experience.

4. The Premium 710 Vape Ecosystem

To provide portability without compromising quality, we engineered a custom, low-voltage battery system paired with high-flow ceramic cartridges. Filled with pure, uncut live rosin or live resin, our vaporizers operate at a lower temperature than standard commercial pens, preventing the oil from burning and preserving the flavor profile from the first draw to the last.

Exclusive Programs, Membership, and Offers

To reward our dedicated community and provide consistent access to our small-batch runs, we operate several integrated programs:

  • The List Membership: Because our production runs are small-batch by design, high-demand strains sell out rapidly. “The List” is our official direct-to-consumer delivery portal operating in select markets like California and Colorado. Members receive direct priority access to drops, limited-edition collaborations with international artists, and experimental genetic cross-breeds before they hit dispensary shelves.

  • Connoisseur Bundles: Select dispensary partners offer curated 710 Labs flight boxes. These packages feature a synchronized flight of a single strain across multiple medium types—allowing you to compare the flower, the ice water hash, and the live rosin side-by-side to track how the flavor shifts across different extraction states.

  • Terpene Preservation Guarantees: Every concentrate purchase leaves our fulfillment hubs in specialized refrigerated transport boxes. We mandate that our authorized retail partners store our products between 35°F and 40°F (1°C to 4°C) to prevent oil separation and ensure maximum freshness when you open the jar at home.

Compliance, Location, and Authorized Logistics

710 Labs operates strictly within authorized legal frameworks across multiple states, including California, Colorado, Michigan, Ohio, Florida, and New Jersey. We provide full transparency by ensuring every item is batch-tracked from seed to final packaging.
