Which Is Better: THCA Flower Or THC Flower?

Many cannabis enthusiasts would like to understand the difference between THC vs. THCA flowers. At Hemp Generation, we are ready to teach you the sweet secrets of THC and THCA. We have been blazing the trail in crafting premium CBD and hemp goodies for years.

The simple answer: there is no difference. Whether you’re referring to a particular cannabis strain as “THC” or “THCA”, the truth is that cannabis flower is both THCA and THC.

Here’s a simple breakdown. All cannabis strains produce hundreds of cannabinoids in the form of acids. For example CBG-A, CBD-A, and of course THC-A. The “A” stands for “acid”. THCA is simply THC-acid. It’s the acidic form of THC. THC-acid is naturally produced abundantly by the cannabis plant. So, when a cannabis plant is growing and begins to flower, these buds and trichomes produce large amounts of THCA. As the plant matures, only a small percentage of that THCA naturally converts to THC through light and heat. A common misconception is that cannabis flowers contain an abundance of THC. That is incorrect. It actually contains an abundance of THCA. Now here’s the main point: THCA converts to THC when heated through combustion. This is known as decarboxylation. This is why you cannot consume raw cannabis buds and get high. You have to burn it and consume the smoke, so that you get the effects of the converted molecule, popularly known as THC.

What Makes THC and THCA Flowers Different?

There is a slight difference, but this mainly concerns the cultivation process. In order for a cannabis strain to be considered “THCA” aka legal hemp flower, it needs to contain less than 0.3% THC. Traditional growing practices will typically yield strains that contain upwards of 2-3% THC, which is above the federal limit. To clarify, most cannabis strains contain 15-30% THCA and 2-3% THC. So what we look for as cultivators is the THCA percentage. The higher the THCA percentage, the more potent the flower. As long as we keep the THC percentage from exceeding 0.3%, it can be sold as legal hemp flower,, while still providing the classic euphoric experience that all cannabis consumers know and love. At Hemp Generation, we have perfected the art of breeding each variety to maximize their strengths while staying within the legal limits.

Crafting Artisanal THC Flowers

We carefully nurture each strain for its tailored cannabinoid expression. Using traditional and hydroponic techniques, our farmers provide premium genetics and a nurturing environment for the plants to thrive.

For our THCA flowers, harvest comes early to prevent excess THC accumulation, keeping levels below the legal 0.3% threshold. To craft artisanal THC flowers, we allow more maturation first. Either way, expect exceptional quality.
