Breaks down Frosty Club tiers like Private Reserve, Exotic, Indoor, Light Dep, and Smalls, including how they compare and when to choose each for your menu.
How does Light Dep compare to Private Reserve and Smalls?
Think of Light Dep as your middle tier. Quality and structure land closer to indoor/Private Reserve, but pricing is more approachable. It sits above Smalls on bag appeal and potency, giving you a clear “smart value” option on the menu.
What does “Light Dep” mean for THCa flower?
Light Dep (light deprivation) flower is grown in greenhouses where growers block light on a schedule to trigger earlier flowering. You still get real sun exposure, but with tighter control over harvest timing and quality than full outdoor.
How should retailers position Private Reserve to their customers?
The simplest story is: “This is our best flower.” Encourage staff to present Private Reserve as the upgrade option for customers who care most about quality, not just price per gram. Highlight the stronger test results, visual appeal, and cure, and feature these strains prominently on menus, endcaps, and online collections to signal a clear top shelf.
Is Private Reserve flower always limited or seasonal?
Yes, Private Reserve is intentionally limited. We only label lots as Private Reserve when the harvest truly warrants it, which means availability can change quickly and some strains may not return. If a Private Reserve strain sells through, the next batch will be evaluated from scratch rather than automatically given the same tier.
How is Private Reserve different from the Exotic and Indoor tiers?
Exotic focuses on special genetics and standout terp profiles, while Indoor highlights controlled-environment flower with consistent quality. Private Reserve sits above both as the tier for our best overall lots. Think of Exotic and Indoor as strong performers, and Private Reserve as the curated shortlist of strains that rise to the absolute top.
Is Private Reserve always indoor, or can it include other grow methods?
Private Reserve is grow-method agnostic. Many of these lots are indoor, but select Exotic or Light Dep batches can qualify when they hit our highest standards for look, aroma, and test results. If it carries the Private Reserve label, it met the same premium criteria regardless of how it was grown.
