What is Flower (Bud)?
Flower, or "bud," is the dried, cured blossom of the female cannabis plant—the smokable part containing the highest concentration of cannabinoids.
Cannabis flower is harvested from female plants, then trimmed, dried, and cured before sale. It is the most traditional form of cannabis and can be smoked, vaporized, or processed into extracts and edibles. Quality is judged by factors like aroma, trichome coverage, density, and the absence of seeds and excess stems.
