What Are The Signs of Top Quality Buds?
Appearance- A well-grown bud that has
been properly dried and cured will have a
solid biomass density, and break open with
an audible snap and release fragrant
terpenes. Under close inspection, the entire
bud will be untouched and intact with no
oversized leaves on. The resin content
should be very high and there will be no
parts of the bud that are not covered in
clusters of trichomes.
Aroma- Cannabis plants are enriched with
terpenes and essential oils, meaning a high-
grade bud will have a very powerful aroma,
that can be smelt immediately and fills a

room with a lingering dank.
Taste- From the first toke of a blunt all the
way down the filter, the flavour will be a
lip-licking delight of terpenes. There will be
no harshness or burnt taste and the quality
of the ash will be a light grey, soft
consistency that falls off the joint before
you can get to the ashtray.
Effect- The experience from smoking a
perfectly grown, dried and cured flower
will be highly enjoyable and the effects will
sit on you for quite some time. As the
flower is so good, preparing another smoke
is easily done, especially in social scenarios.
