Indica vs. sativa vs. hybrid
What the three labels do and do not predict, and what to look at on the jar instead when choosing.

Mostly the plant's genetic lineage and the way the grower expects it to feel. Indica-leaning strains are traditionally described as heavier and more relaxing, sativa-leaning as brighter and more energetic, and hybrids as a mix. The labels are a loose guide, not a guarantee; THC percentage, terpene profile, and your own tolerance shape the experience more than the category.
The collection is sold by weight in 3.5 gram eighths, 7 gram quarters, and 28 gram ounces, plus a few pre-packed 0.3 gram chillums. An eighth rolls roughly three to five joints depending on how you roll. The Size filter narrows the grid to one weight.
Smaller buds from the same harvest as the full-sized flower, sold at a lower price per gram. They are the same strain and are lab tested the same way; they are simply the pieces that did not make the top jar. For grinding into joints or bowls, the size of the bud makes no difference.
It is the share of the flower's weight that is THC, as measured in the lab test for that batch. Flower on this menu ranges from the high teens to the mid-30s. A higher number means less flower is needed for the same effect, which matters more than the strain label when you are pacing yourself.
Where it was grown. Indoor rooms give the grower full control over light and climate, which often produces tighter, more uniform buds; greenhouses use sunlight with some control, which can mean a slightly different look and a lower price. Both are tested to the same New York standards, so judge by aroma, THC, and price rather than the method alone.
In an airtight glass jar, away from light, heat, and humidity. Kept that way it holds its aroma for a few months; left in a plastic bag it dries out within weeks and burns harsh. Do not refrigerate or freeze it, which damages the resin and makes the buds brittle.
A grinder, rolling papers or cones or a pipe, and a lighter. The pre-packed chillum in this collection needs only a lighter. Grinders, papers, cones, pipes, and storage jars are in the Accessories collection and can go in the same order.
