To ensure that the HHC-O product is of high quality, it is important to assess the quality of the CBD flowers that compose it. Since the market is flooded with a variety of stores, products and strains, it can be difficult for customers to judge the quality of CBD flowers. For this reason, we have put together a simple checklist to help you assess the quality of CBD flowers. Natural smell as an indicator : Smell is a crucial characteristic when assessing the quality of cannabis flowers. A good CBD flower should have a natural smell and not be too overpowering. If the flowers smell excessively strong or have a chemical odor, it is likely that they have been treated with harmful chemicals. However, note that some strains may have a distinct scent that may be natural and not unpleasant. It should smell fresh: A musty smell in cannabis flowers can also indicate mold or fungal growth. This can happen due to incorrect storage. Therefore, it is important to carefully check whether the flowers show signs of mold or fungus. If this is the case, you should not consume the flowers as it may pose health risks. However, a faint smell can also indicate that the flowers are not of good quality or that they have not been dried properly. The color of the HHC-O flowers plays a role: HHC-O and other cannabis flowers come in different colors such as green, red, purple or yellow. However, the color alone says nothing about the quality; it depends on the variety and growing conditions. Some buds change color over time or depending on environmental factors. However, an indicator of suspicion is a washed out color or strong differences between buds of the same strain, which can indicate that they have been washed, i.e. synthetically treated, to extract cannabinoids or terpenes. Heavy Metals & Pesticides: It is important to ensure that HHC-O flowers are free of heavy metals and insecticides. If you are environmentally conscious and know about growing plants, you certainly know that it is possible to get by without these harmful substances. However, it can be difficult to see with the naked eye whether and how the flowers have been treated. It is therefore advisable to find out in advance about the origin and treatment of the HHC-O flowers.
