Given the wide selection of CBD hemp flowers available in our stores, one may wonder how to choose your CBD flowers . There are several parameters to take into account depending on what you need.
Choosing the right CBD flowers depending on the cultivation method
The cultivation method from which a CBD cannabis plant comes allows its flowers to be categorized. Why is the cultivation method of cannabis flowers important? A cannabis flower produced indoors, in a greenhouse (greenhouse) or in open ground will not have the same quality. Each of these methods has advantages and disadvantages:
- Indoor cultivation : it is done in a controlled environment which allows all the needs of the plant to be optimized. Light, nutrients, oxygen, humidity. Experts carefully control all factors. Hemp flowers from indoor cultivation are of superior quality.
- Greenhouse culture : it allows you to control certain cultivation parameters, and the plant also benefits from natural sunlight. In this way, the quality of greenhouse flowers may vary but the varieties selected by Mybud Shop are perfectly up to standard.
- Outdoor cultivation : it allows to make products that grow exclusively in sunlight. Thus, outdoor flowers are cheaper to buy.
Choosing your CBD flowers based on taste and smell
A cannabis flower can have an extremely varied taste and smell: fruity, dessert, pine, earthy tastes. However, these are key factors in the consumer’s choice and you will inevitably find a flower that suits you. But how do you choose when you haven’t tried it yet?
Terpenes are responsible for the fragrances of cannabis, and are perfectly identifiable. In fact, we indicate terpenes such as limonene, pinene, myrcene, linalool, etc., in the technical sheet of each of our flowers.
Power: An important factor to consider
The CBD level can vary considerably from one hemp flower to another (from around 5% to more than 20%), mainly linked to its cultivation method.
- If you’ve never tried CBD or want mild effects: flowers with low or intermediate levels (5% – 12%) could be right for you.
- If you are used to it or are looking for powerful effects : flowers of intermediate or high concentration (12% – 20%) may satisfy you.
Consuming 1 gram of 10% CBD flower is equivalent to 100mg of CBD. Studies have gone up to 1500mg of CBD per day without causing any adverse effects in the individual. If your body is not particularly intolerant to CBD, it will be virtually impossible to overdose on it.
Depending on the price
Price can be a determining factor when purchasing CBD flowers, and it can vary greatly.
Are you looking for cheap CBD?
Minibuds, CBD Greenhouse and CBD Outdoor are a little less qualitative than flowers produced indoors and are therefore less expensive . However, you will find all the flavors of hemp and the properties of cannabidiol in these unique products.
Are you looking for the highest quality CBD?
If you are looking for flowers of exceptional or premium quality , indoor or hydroponic flowers should satisfy you.
Legality and THC Levels
The legality of CBD flowers is primarily based on their THC content, the main psychoactive compound in cannabis. In France, and in many European countries, the THC level in CBD products must be less than 0.3%. It is a threshold established to ensure that products do not produce unwanted psychoactive effects.
- Why this threshold of 0.3%? This level was defined because it is generally considered to be too low to produce any psychoactive effect in the user. This means that even if you consume CBD flower with up to 0.3% THC, you should not experience any of the effects traditionally associated with cannabis, such as euphoria or drowsiness.
- How to Check THC Levels When purchasing CBD flower, it is essential to check the lab tests provided by the seller. These tests, often called Certificates of Analysis (COAs), will give you a detailed breakdown of the cannabinoids present in the product, including THC.
- Risks associated with high THC levels: In addition to the potential psychoactive effects, possession or sale of CBD flowers containing more than 0.3% THC is illegal in France and may result in criminal penalties.
Recognizing a good CBD flower by its appearance: tips
The appearance of a CBD flower can tell you a lot about its quality and freshness. Here are some things to look out for:
- Color: A high-quality CBD hemp flower will typically have a rich green color, with shades that can range from light green to dark green. The presence of brown or yellow spots can indicate an aged or poorly preserved flower.
- Trichomes: These are small crystalline structures that cover the flower. They contain the majority of the plant’s cannabinoids and terpenes. A flower rich in bright trichomes generally indicates a high quality flower.
- Structure and Density: A well-grown flower will be dense and well-formed. If it crumbles easily or appears too dry, this may indicate a storage or harvesting problem.
- Presence of seeds: High-quality CBD flowers should not contain seeds. The presence of seeds may indicate cross-pollination with male plants, which may affect the CBD content of the flower. A very round and hollow calyx may be a sign of a seed that was removed during the manicure.
- Presence of mold or contaminants: Be sure to inspect the flower for signs of mold, which may appear as white spots. Additionally, a musty or musty smell can also indicate the presence of mold.
To conclude, a good quality CBD flower will have a fresh appearance, a rich green color, will be dense in trichomes and will not have any spots.
I have chosen my CBD flower, how do I consume it?
It is possible to consume CBD flowers in several ways, depending on your preferences and needs. Here are some common methods based on SERP results:
- Infusion : One of the most popular methods for consuming CBD flower is to prepare it as an infusion. To do this, boil water and add coconut oil or butter. Then insert the CBD flowers into the boiling water. Adding a fatty substance such as coconut oil allows the body to better assimilate the CBD. Let it infuse for a few minutes before enjoying.
- Vaporization : Vaporization is an alternative to combustion. It allows the CBD flower to be heated to a temperature that releases the cannabinoids without burning the plant material. It is a method considered healthier than combustion.
- Cuisine : CBD flower can be used as an aromatic herb in cooking. Fresh or dried, it can be added to various dishes to enjoy its benefits while enjoying a good meal.
- Combustion : While this method is common, combustion can destroy some beneficial cannabinoids and produce potentially harmful substances. If you opt for this method, it is recommended not to mix CBD flower with tobacco.
How do I store my CBD flowers?
In order to preserve your CBD flowers, you can follow the following advice:
- Avoid plastic bags : Plastic bags can accelerate the aging of your CBD flowers. It is therefore better to opt for other storage methods. Source
- Controlled humidity : The ideal humidity for storing CBD flowers is between 59% and 63%. If the humidity level is below 59%, it may affect the quality of the flower.
- Storage away from light : It is recommended to store CBD flowers in a dark place, such as a drawer or living room. Flowers should be protected from direct sunlight to preserve their properties.
- Glass jars : For optimal preservation, it is advisable to store your CBD flowers in hermetically sealed glass jars. These jars should be placed in a dark place to avoid exposure to light.
- Avoid extremes : It is essential to avoid storage environments that are too bright, too hot or too cold.
