What To Look For In THCA Flower: Potency, Purity, and Premium

When you’re looking for THCA flower, it’s likely that you’re mostly paying attention to things like the price, the selection of strains, and the attractive packaging that it comes in.  But, on a more scientific level, there are some pretty critical factors that determine just how likely you are to be satisfied with the outcome.  We call them the “three p’s,” and they each illustrate something that affects the quality of the flower, and ultimate quality of the experience you will get when you enjoy THCA flower.

At Bloomz, you will find only top-shelf, highly effective flower, because a lot of effort has been put into those three p’s, which are potency, purity, and premium (quality).  Let’s take a closer look at what these terms mean and why they matter.

Why the “Three P’s” Can Make All of the Difference

Here’s the thing: not all THCA flower is created equally.  It can look alike, smell alike, and taste alike, and can even come in the same choice strains.  But, the reality is that in such an unregulated industry as that of hemp, quality standards can vary wildly from one brand to the next.  After all, who’s overseeing things like purity standards, but the brands themselves?

That’s why you want to get more certain verification of quality through factors that are quantifiable – like the ones below.

Potency

Potency is a big factor when it comes to THCA flower, and it refers to how much THCA distillate has been added to the product.  Now, companies can add as much THCA distillate as they want, but the bottom line is that the average consumer is looking for a substantial amount ranging between 20-30%, so as to mimic weed.

THCA turns into delta 9 THC when flower is consumed, so companies should aim to replicate a weed strain’s THC level in the THCA flower they produce.  For instance, if they’re carrying THCA flower in the strain Gelato, which typically yields 20% in weed form, a company should infuse their Gelato flower with 20% THCA distillate to match.  Overall, a company that’s using very little THCA distillate in their flower can technically call their product THCA flower, but it’s just not going to give users the results they want in terms of psychoactivity.

Purity

Then, we have purity.  This refers to the purity of the THCA distillate that’s being used in the formula.  And, this is something that makes a bigger difference than consumers may realize.

Basically, the purer the distillate, the more potent it is, the cleaner it is, and potentially, the safer it is as well.  THCA distillate is made through a very involved process that uses steam distillation.  The hemp extract is exposed to various degrees of temperature and pressure in the form of distilled steam, to strategically evaporate the unwanted chemical compounds in the plant to leave behind only THCA in as pure a form as possible.

THCA distillate will never be 100% pure – that’s just not scientifically possible.  But, it can be 99% pure, which is what Bloomz has achieved.  This means that there’s just a trace amount of terpenes remaining in the final extract before it’s added to the hemp flower.  Impurities can include other compounds, as well as solvents or even environmental toxins that come from poorly grown hemp material, such as pesticides.  Besides that, the less pure the THCA, the more diluted it is, and so the less potent it is.  Since there is no regulated standard for purity levels in a distillate, it’s up to the consumer to check the purity level to know they’re getting something with as high of a purity rating as possible.

Premium

Lastly, we have “premium,” which refers to the quality grade of the THCA flower itself.  This is a way to quantify quality as much as possible, based on a number of important factors that relate to how the flower was cultivated and harvested.  The better the conditions to which the flower was exposed to during its growing stages, the higher the trichome count, which refers to the sticky coating of resinous glands on each bud, which are high in cannabinoids and terpenes.  Naturally, more trichomes means more effectiveness, as well as flavor.  Bud size is also taken into account, as well as how the THCA flower is trimmed.  If flower is being sold with lots of leaves, stems, and seeds, it’s not premium, since only the buds are what customers want, and so the weight of the product is diluted by ineffective components of the plant.

How to Tell if THCA Flower Lives Up to These Standards

Now that you know what these big quality indicators are, how can you know that the THCA flower you’re looking at checks all of these boxes?  The best way is through third-party lab reports, provided by the brand, which tell you lots of objective, unbiased information as provided by a state-authorized third-party testing facility.  Hemp companies have their flower tested by these laboratories, and the resulting reports are then published on the companies’ websites for customers to access.

The lab reports will clearly illustrate the purity of the product as well as the potency, in percentages.  In terms of whether or not the product is considered premium is a bit more abstract, but you can get a decent idea by looking at the cannabinoid and terpene breakdowns in these lab reports, which will show you just how potent the flower is with these compounds – ultimately reflecting the trichome count that was achieved through proper cultivation.
