CBD flowers or hemp flowers, what you need to know! How and what differentiates a CBD (cannabidiol) flower from "weed" containing THC? What is it? We'll answer that below.
Are terpenes more important than the potency of CBD ?
Terpenes are just as important, if not more so, than the actual percentage of cannabinoids (CBD, THC) present in any cannabis product. Terpenes alone have a range of powerful effects and benefits.
When consumed with cannabinoids, people experience a synergy of these compounds known as the entourage effect, providing the most robust relief and impact. New research also suggests that terpenes play a significant role in determining how a cannabis product affects your mood and energy, leading to the standard classifications ofIndica, Sativa, or Hybrid.
Why do people smoke CBD hemp flower?
People smoke CBD because it offers many of the same benefits as regular THC-rich cannabis flower, but without the overwhelming psychoactivity; that is, it doesn't get you high.
Many users report that CBD flower gives them the same positive effects as THC, but without any common unwanted side effects such as paranoia, increased heart rate, dizziness, etc.
CBD flower allows people to engage in and simply enjoy the ritual of smoking, whether alone or in a social setting.
What is CBD hemp flower?
flower is the term used to describe cannabis with a higher concentration of CBD compared to THC and other cannabinoids. CBD flowers are legal at the federal level and classified as hemp in Europe. The only difference between CBD flower and regular, THC-rich cannabis flower (marijuana) is the level of cannabinoids found in the plant. CBD flower contains less than 0.3% Delta 9 THC and is considered non-psychoactive, meaning it won't get you high like typical marijuana, but will provide mild effects and numerous benefits.
How to differentiate a CBD flower from a normal THC herb?
The only way to know for sure if cannabis flower is CBD or THC is to get a potency test from a reputable cannabis testing lab. There are minor differences in smell and appearance that may be noticeable to those experienced with cannabis, but they are difficult to discern.
However, due to new genetics and indoor growing practices, it is becoming virtually impossible to distinguish between the two.
Some clues to look for… THC flower will generally have a pungent, gas-like odor, is usually stickier to the touch and is visually more covered in trichome crystals than average CBD hemp flowers.
What is the THC content in CBD flower?
CBD flower must contain 0.3% Delta 9-THC or less to be legal (the psychoactive form of THC that gives users the classic cannabis high). However, it is possible and technically legal for CBD flowers to have a total THC content exceeding 0.3% when considering THCA.
Many cannabis laboratories will use a unique mathematical formula that combines D9-THC and THCA to calculate the total THC, which is usually between 0.1% and 0.8%
What are the advantages of growing in a true indoor environment compared to growing outdoors or in a greenhouse?
Indoor cultivation allows 100% control of all environmental factors, the most important being control of the spectrum and power of light.
By controlling the power of our lights, we can ensure that the flower buds maintain optimal humidity levels and resin production. Due to the intensity of the sun, the terpenes and cannabinoids in flowers grown outdoors are generally damaged while moisture escapes from the buds, resulting in a dry, tasteless, and hard final product.
Does Lord Of CBD provide full lab tests or certificates of authenticity?
Yes! While most CBD brands only conduct potency tests to ensure legal compliance, we systematically test our products according to the standards required by the cannabis market—that is, a full compliance test. This ensures that we provide the safest and cleanest product possible.
How are Secret Nature's CBD flowers dried and cured?
Our flowers are hung on the whole plant for two weeks at 60 degrees Celsius with a relative humidity of 60%. This ensures slow, cold drying, allowing the plants to express their full terpene and flavor potential while reaching optimal moisture levels for consumption.
What are the advantages of CBD hemp flower compared to THC-rich cannabis?
CBD hemp flower can provide virtually all the same mental, physical, and spiritual benefits as typical THC-rich cannabis, but without the common undesirable side effects of standard high-THC products (anxiety, paranoia, short-term memory loss, etc.)
CBD flower offers a gentle cannabis experience that can relax you, improve focus, help relieve physical pain, and help you fall asleep and stay asleep throughout the night. Many cannabis users are surprised to find they prefer CBD flower to THC flower once they've tried it and experienced its unique effects.
Can CBD flower help those who consume tobacco and nicotine products?
Many users report that CBD hemp flower helps them get rid of or even completely quit their nicotine habit. Although CBD hemp flower is not physically addictive, the ritual of smoking and its beneficial effects help those who use nicotine by offering a similar, healthier, and safer alternative.
Recent studies have shown that cannabinoids can help people suffering from addiction and withdrawal symptoms, including addiction itself.
What does it mean to cultivate in living, organic soil?
Growing in living organic soil is a method that seeks to replicate the most natural and efficient growing medium and environment found in nature. Indoor living soil mimics an ancient forest, where thousands of years of decomposing plant matter create a symbiotic and dynamic soil that thrives with microbial life—hence the term "living soil.".
These factors form a highly diverse network of bacteria that cannot be replicated or achieved by any other cultivation method. These microorganisms form a soil food web that helps nourish plants in exchange for carbon and sugars that the plant releases into the soil through its root system.
In this style of organic farming, plants have the power to choose and self-regulate their nutrition. After millions of years of evolution and practice, we can be certain that plants, as living beings, can nourish themselves effectively without human intervention.
