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).

This article covers the Cannabis Resin Stock tab. For an overview of the full report, see ODC Overview. For cannabis flower tracking, see Cannabis Stock article. For automated balance checking, see Pre-Submission Review article.
📋 How the Tab is Organised
- 12 monthly rows (one per month)
- Each row tracks: opening stock, sources, destinations, closing stock
- Annual summary row at the bottom
- All values in kilograms (kg)
Fewer Columns Than Cannabis Stock
The Resin tab has 11 columns (B through L), one fewer than the Cannabis Stock tabs (12 columns, B through M), because there is no "Used Own Resin Production" column.
⚖️ The Balance Equation
Closing Stock = Opening Stock + Sources - Destinations
Where:
- Sources = Produced + Purchased + Imported
- Destinations = Manufacture + Testing + Site Transfer + Domestic Sales + 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.
📝 Field Definitions
| Field | Column | What It Means | What GrowerIQ Counts |
|---|---|---|---|
| Opening Stock | B | Resin on hand at start of month | Snapshot of all resin/pure intermediate inventory |
| Produced Own Cultivation | C | Resin produced from your own cannabis | Output of extraction activities (hash, kief, rosin, etc.) where the input was cannabis flower. Does not include resin-to-resin refinements (e.g., crude oil to distillate), which are tracked as processing loss. |
| Purchased from Cultivator | D | Resin received from an Australian supplier | Received resin inventory from domestic supplier |
| Imported Material | E | Resin received from outside Australia | Received resin inventory from international supplier |
| Used Own Manufacture | F | Resin used as input to manufacturing | Resin consumed by manufacturing/extract production activities |
| Testing/Analysis | G | Resin sent for lab testing | Samples of resin created and sent to lab |
| Site Transfer | H | Resin moved to another site under your licence | Inter-site resin transfers |
| Domestic Sales | I | Resin sold to an Australian buyer | Completed resin shipments to Australian recipients |
| Export | J | Resin shipped outside Australia | Completed resin shipments to non-Australian destinations |
| Destroyed | K | Resin formally destroyed | Resin destruction activities completed |
| Closing Stock | L | Resin on hand at end of month | Snapshot of all resin inventory at month end |
🔄 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 "Produced Own Cultivation" showing less than I expected? This field only counts resin produced from cannabis flower input. If you refined crude oil into distillate, that's a within-resin transformation and shows up as processing loss, not new production.
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 does the Resin tab have fewer columns than the Cannabis Stock tabs? The Resin tab omits the "Used Own Resin Production" column because 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.
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.
