The Cannabis Resin Stock tab tracks the weight (in kg) of resin and pure intermediate products (hash, kief, rosin, crude oil, distillate, etc.) moving through your facility. This is separate from cannabis flower (covered in the Cannabis Stock article tabs).
What Changed in the Q1 2026 Template
From Q1 2026 this report uses the ODC's new V3 template. On this tab, production from your own cultivation is now split into flower heads (column C) and other plant parts (column D), domestic supply is split into four columns by recipient licence type (J to M), and the tab now runs through column Q with a dedicated Comments column. See ODC V3 Template Changes for the full overview.

📋 How the Tab is Organised
- 12 monthly rows (one per month)
- Each row tracks: opening stock, sources, destinations, closing stock, comments
- Annual summary row at the bottom
- All values in kilograms (kg)
Same Column Span as Cannabis Stock
In the V3 template the Resin tab spans columns B through Q, the same as the Cannabis Stock tabs. There is still no "Used Own Resin Production" column here, but production from own cultivation is now split into two source columns (flower heads and other plant parts), so both tabs have 16 columns and line up exactly from Testing (column H) through Comments (column Q).
⚖️ The Balance Equation
Closing Stock = Opening Stock + Sources - Destinations
Where:
- Sources = Produced (Flower Heads) + Produced (Other Plant Parts) + Purchased + Imported
- Destinations = Manufacture + Testing + Site Transfer + Supply (all four columns, J to M) + Export + Destroyed
No Resin-to-Resin Column
Unlike the Cannabis Stock tabs, there is no "Used Own Resin Production" column. Resin can be refined (e.g., crude oil into distillate), but this is tracked as processing loss, not as a separate column. The cannabis consumed to produce this resin appears as "Used Own Resin Production" on the Cannabis Stock tabs.
Processing Loss in Balance Checks
The Pre-Submission Review article also accounts for processing loss (resin-to-resin refinement weight loss) when checking the balance equation. This is not a visible column in the ODC template but is calculated automatically by GrowerIQ.

| Supply: GMP Holder (Part 3-3 TG Act) | L | P3 | Resin supplied to a holder of a manufacture licence under Part 3-3 of the TG Act | Completed shipments to recipients classified as ND Act + GMP, plus recipients with no licence type set (the default) |

🌿 Flower Heads vs Other Plant Parts
The V3 template asks where the resin came from within your own cultivation: resin made by physically separating material from flower heads goes in column C, while resin made from other plant parts such as stems and trim goes in column D. GrowerIQ classifies each extraction automatically based on the endtype of the input material used.
Check the Endtype Classification Tab
The Breakdown Report includes an Endtype Classification tab listing every endtype that produced or held weight in the quarter and whether it is treated as flower heads or other plant parts. Classifications start from GrowerIQ defaults and can be overridden for your organisation, so review this tab if column C or D looks different from what you expected.
🚚 Supply Columns by Recipient Licence Type
V3 replaces the single Domestic Sales column with a four-way split based on the recipient's licence type:
| Column | Recipient | Pathway Codes |
|---|---|---|
| J | Another ND Act licence holder (for manufacture) | P2 |
| K | Another ND Act licence holder (other purposes) | Not used; GrowerIQ reports 0 |
| L | Holder of a manufacture licence under Part 3-3 of the TG Act (GMP) | P3 |
| M | Domestic sale or transfer to a non-ND Act licence holder | P7, P8, P9, P10 |
GrowerIQ routes each completed shipment automatically using the "Licence type for ODC reporting" dropdown set on the recipient's CRM Account. This works exactly the same as on the Cannabis Stock tabs; see the Cannabis Stock article for how to classify your recipients and what happens when a recipient is not classified. For what each pathway code means, see Supply Pathway Codes. Exports (column N) are not affected by recipient classification: a recipient outside Australia counts only under Export, never in a domestic supply column.
Unclassified Recipients Default to Column L
If a recipient's licence type has not been set, GrowerIQ reports the shipment under column L (GMP, Part 3-3) and flags the recipient with a WARNING on the Breakdown report's Recipient Audit tab. Set the licence type on each Australian recipient's account before generating your report.
🔄 Processing Loss
Expected Weight Loss During Refinement
When resin is refined (e.g., crude oil refined into distillate), some weight is naturally lost in the process. GrowerIQ tracks this as "processing loss." This is expected and does not indicate an error. The Pre-Submission Review article tab will classify this type of variance as "PROCESSING LOSS" with a green indicator.
Processing loss explains why your closing stock may be slightly lower than the balance equation predicts. For example, if you start with 5 kg of crude oil and refine it into 4.2 kg of distillate, the 0.8 kg difference is processing loss. GrowerIQ detects this pattern automatically.
❓ Common Questions
What counts as "resin"? Hash, kief, rosin, bubble hash, sift, crude oil, distilled oil, and other pure intermediates. These are products extracted from cannabis flower before further manufacturing into finished goods.
Why is production showing less than I expected? The production columns (C and D) only count resin produced from cannabis plant material input. If you refined crude oil into distillate, that's a within-resin transformation and shows up as processing loss, not new production.
What decides whether production counts under column C or column D? The endtype of the input material used in the extraction. Material classified as flower heads reports under column C; material from other plant parts (stems, trim, etc.) reports under column D. The Breakdown Report's Endtype Classification tab shows how each endtype is classified.
Where did the single Domestic Sales column go? The V3 template splits it into four supply columns (J to M) based on the recipient's licence type. See Supply Columns by Recipient Licence Type above, and the Cannabis Stock article for how to classify your recipients.
How does resin differ from manufactured extracts? Resin is the intermediate product. Manufacturing (covered in Manufacturing article) covers the process of turning resin (and other inputs) into finished extract products with cannabinoid breakdowns.
Why is there no "Used Own Resin Production" column on the Resin tab? Resin cannot be used to produce more resin in the same way cannabis flower is used to produce resin. Resin-to-resin refinements are instead tracked as processing loss. The cannabis consumed to produce resin appears as "Used Own Resin Production" on the Cannabis Stock tabs.
My balance doesn't add up for a month with resin refinement. Is this an error? Likely not. When you refine resin (e.g., crude oil to distillate), weight is lost in the process. The Pre-Submission Review article tab accounts for this and will classify the variance as "PROCESSING LOSS" with a green indicator if the numbers are consistent with your recorded activities.
