What are the signs of high quality marijuana?

1. Odor

The highest quality marijuana usually gives off a pungent and pleasant aroma. The smell of high-quality marijuana is obvious, irritating and can be distinguished. The stronger the smell, the better the quality.

2. Appearance

High quality marijuana, like fresh goods, can be distinguished at a glance.

Although all good marijuana should be visible, a top shelf marijuana should be recognized at a glance. High quality flowers are usually dark or lime green, with flaming orange or red hairs. They can also be dark purple to bright blue, but they should never be brown.

Another important visual indicator is the number of hairs. Fluff is a tiny, glittering crystalline appendage on the surface of plants. It generates and maintains the compounds responsible for the smell, taste and effect of flowers. The more hairs you can see with the naked eye, the better the effectiveness of the flower.

3. Tactility

Top shelf flowers should feel sticky and slightly spongy. The stem should be breakable, and the flower bud should be relatively easy to peel off, but it should not be completely dry or broken at the touch. In addition, flower buds should not be too wet or too soft, because these buds have a higher chance to contain or secrete molds or molds.

4. Pattern

Carefully cultivated sativa flowers tend to be light and fluffy, while indica flowers tend to have a tighter and denser flower structure. Stone hard flowers often indicate that growers may have used plant growth regulators, which may lead to bad taste. Excessive fluffy flowers may indicate that the plant does not grow at sufficient optical density and is not cultivated to its potential.
