Answers questions about indica, sativa, and hybrid strains, terpene profiles, potency, typical effects, and how to pick the right strains for your customers.
How do I know which strain is right for me?
Answer
Start by thinking about the experience and use case. For example, some shops prefer uplifting strains that customers reach for earlier in the day, while others focus on heavier, relaxing strains that customers use in the evening. Next, consider terpene profile and strain family. Classic gas and kush profiles tend to attract one type of customer, while candy, fruit, and dessert strains draw another. Our strain descriptions highlight effects, aroma, and typical use cases, and you can always reach out to our team for wholesale recommendations based on your customer base and how you plan to merchandise your menu.
How is your flower different from regular CBD flower?
Regular CBD flower is bred to be rich in CBD with very low THCA and minimal intoxicating effect. THCA flower is bred the other way. It is rich in THCA and designed to convert to Delta 9 THC when heated. This creates a much stronger, more traditional cannabis experience than CBD flower. Our catalog focuses on higher THCA cultivars with distinct terpene profiles, strain families, and visual grades, so you can merchandise them more like legacy dispensary flower than standard CBD buds.
What is THCA flower?
Answer
THCA flower is raw hemp flower that is naturally high in tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (THCA) while remaining compliant with the federal definition of hemp. In its raw form, THCA is non intoxicating. When heated through smoking, vaping, or baking, THCA converts to Delta 9 THC and produces a traditional cannabis style experience. Our THCA flower is sourced from vetted growers, trimmed and handled like top shelf cannabis, and is third party tested to confirm that Delta 9 levels remain within the legal hemp limit on a dry weight basis.
How long do Hybrid THCa effects usually last?
Answer
Hybrid THCa, once heated, follows the same general window: a strong 1 to 2 hour peak followed by 1 to 3 hours of gentler after-effects, depending on dose, tolerance, and the strain’s lean. Indica-leaning Hybrids may feel heavier toward the back half of the experience, while Sativa-leaning Hybrids may keep customers mentally active a bit longer.
From a retail perspective, it helps to set expectations: Hybrids are still potent THC products after activation, so customers should plan their sessions around work, driving, and next-day commitments.
Are Hybrid strains good for sleep or are they more balanced?
Answer
Most Hybrid strains are balanced first, sleep-focused second. Many customers use Hybrids for evenings, social sessions, and relaxed productivity. For strictly “hybrid for sleep” requests, steer shoppers toward Hybrids that lean clearly Indica-dominant and carry heavier terpene profiles.
In a Hybrid vs Indica vs Sativa conversation at the counter, you can frame it like this: Indica is best when sleep is the main goal, Sativa is best when energy is the goal, and Hybrid works when customers want some calm and some clarity without going fully to either extreme.
How does Hybrid THCa compare to Indica and Sativa strains?
Answer
In the Hybrid vs Indica vs Sativa breakdown, Hybrids are the bridge. Compared to Indica, most Hybrid strains feel less sedating and more mentally alert. Compared to Sativa, they usually bring more body comfort and less edgy stimulation.
This middle position is valuable on your shelves. It lets budtenders say: “If pure Indica sounds too heavy and pure Sativa sounds too buzzy, Hybrid gives you a balanced mix of effects from both sides.”
