Strain Breakdown
The Royal Details
Bulk THCA smalls are whole flower, just smaller. Same plants, same cure, same batch lab testing as the full size buds in the Kingdom, sold from an ounce up to a full pound for people buying by weight rather than by looks.
The short version
- Smalls are the buds that grew lower on the plant, where there was less light. Same plant, same harvest, same cure.
- Graded by size, not by quality. Once ground, the difference largely disappears.
- Mediums sit between smalls and full size, and some strains here are labelled that way.
- The cultivation label tells you more than the strain name does. Light Dep, Light Assist and Indoor all appear on this listing.
- USA grown, lab tested by batch, hemp compliant under the 2018 Farm Bill.
What smalls actually are
Cannabis plants do not produce one uniform bud. The flower nearest the top gets the most light and grows the largest. Everything lower down gets less, so it finishes smaller and denser.
Those lower buds are smalls. Same plant, same trichome coverage, same harvest, same cure, same batch testing. They are graded by size, not by quality.
Once it is ground, the difference largely disappears. What you give up is the look in the jar. What you keep is everything that happens after you grind it.
Smalls are not shake and they are not trim
Shake is the loose material that falls off during handling. Trim is the leaf cut away from the bud during manicuring. Smalls are whole, intact buds. All three get sold in bulk and they are not the same product, which is most of why bulk prices vary as widely as they do.
Smalls and mediums
You will see both on this listing, and some strains are labelled [Mediums].
Mediums sit between smalls and full size buds. Same plant, same batch, same testing, slightly larger bud. If you are grinding, the distinction barely matters. If you want the jar to look fuller, mediums do that.
Reading the cultivation labels
Every strain here carries how it was grown, in brackets after the name. That label tells you more about what arrives than the strain name does.
| Label | How it was grown | What to expect |
|---|---|---|
| Light Dep | Grown using sunlight with the light cycle controlled by covering the crop | Sun grown on a managed schedule. The value end |
| Light Assist | A greenhouse with supplementary lighting added | The extra light usually means denser, tighter buds |
| Indoor | Grown entirely under lights, in a fully controlled room | The most consistent and the most expensive to produce |
Strains rotate as harvests come in, and so do the labels against them. What is listed on the page is what is in stock, and the label next to each name is the part worth reading.
Where smalls sit against the full size flower
Smalls are the value end of whole flower. If you want the same growing methods at full bud size, they are sold separately.
The greenhouse THCA flower collection carries sun grown flower at full size, and the indoor and exotic THCA flower collection carries the fully light grown crop. Same plants, same testing, larger buds and a higher price per gram.
Below smalls on price sits the clearance flower, which is overstock and last call batches rather than a different grade.
The weight ladder
This listing runs from an ounce up to a full pound.
| Weight | Grams |
|---|---|
| 28 grams | An ounce |
| 1/4 LB | 112 grams |
| 1/2 LB | 225 grams |
| 1 LB | 450 grams |
Cost per gram falls as the weight rises, and most of that drop arrives early. The step from an ounce to a quarter pound usually saves more per gram than the step from a half pound to a pound.
One thing to watch when you compare. Price varies by strain as well as by weight on this listing, so an ounce of one strain and an ounce of another are not the same price. Compare cost per gram within a single strain, not across two. Take the price of the pack, divide by the grams, and that number is the only one that tells you whether something is actually cheap.
Buy the weight you will actually finish
The most common complaint about bulk flower is that it arrives dry, or dries out before it is used. The second one is on the buyer and it is avoidable.
Flower degrades through exposure to air, warmth and light. A sealed pound in a cool dark cupboard holds for months. The same pound opened daily on a kitchen counter does not.
If you are buying a pound, break it down on arrival. Portion it into smaller airtight jars, glass rather than plastic, add a humidity pack rated 58 to 62% to each, and open only the jar you are working through.
A quarter pound you finish in six weeks will smoke better than a pound you are still halfway through in four months.
Buying bulk for the first time
Take a quarter pound of one strain rather than a pound of something you have not tried. Most of the per gram saving is already there at a quarter, and you will finish it while it is still at its best.
Frequently asked questions
What are THCA smalls?
Whole flower that grew lower on the plant with less light, so it finished smaller. Same plant, same cure, same batch lab testing as the full size buds. Graded by size rather than by quality.
Are THCA smalls shake or trim?
No. Shake is the loose material that falls off during handling and trim is the leaf cut away from the bud. Smalls are whole, intact buds. They are just smaller.
What is the difference between smalls and mediums?
Size, and nothing else. Mediums sit between smalls and full size buds. Same plant, same batch, same testing. Some strains on this listing are labelled as mediums.
How do smalls compare to full size buds?
Once ground, very little difference. Before grinding, the full size buds look better in the jar. That difference in appearance is most of what you pay for when you buy full size. Full size flower is sold separately in the greenhouse and the indoor and exotic collections.
How much is a pound of THCA smalls in grams?
450 grams. A half pound is 225, a quarter pound is 112, and an ounce is 28. Divide the price by the grams to compare cost per gram across any listing.
What do the cultivation labels mean?
Light Dep is grown using sunlight with the light cycle controlled by covering the crop. Light Assist is a greenhouse with supplementary lighting added, which usually means denser buds. Indoor is grown entirely under lights in a fully controlled room. The labels on this listing change as harvests come in.
Is a bigger weight cheaper per gram?
Yes, and most of the saving arrives early. The step from an ounce to a quarter pound usually saves more per gram than the step from a half pound to a pound. Compare within one strain though, because prices differ by strain as well as by weight on this listing.
How should I store a bulk order?
Break it down on arrival into smaller airtight jars, glass rather than plastic, with a 58 to 62% humidity pack in each. Keep them cool and dark and open only the one you are using.
Will THCA smalls show up on a drug test?
Assume yes. Standard tests look for THC metabolites and do not distinguish hemp derived from anything else. If you are tested for work or any other reason, do not use it.
