THCA Flower vs Hemp Flower: What You Need To Know

Table of Contents
Turns out, THCA Hemp Flower is a hot topic in the THC space! Last week’s blog was so well received, that it even brought about many more questions. Y’all asked, and I am quite literally paid to answer, so today we’re digging in deeper and really highlighting the differences between THCA Flower vs Hemp Flower.
Since we’re all adult, THC enthusiasts here, I’m going to assume that we’re all well versed in marijuana and that we don’t need a breakdown on what weed (also known as Delta 9 Flower) is. However, Hemp Flower is a little less main stream than it’s psychoactive counterpart, so we’ll start there.
THCA Flower vs Hemp Flower
Hemp Flower is also commonly known as CBD Flower. Pure, unadulterated hemp flower is mostly CBD, so when smoked it is not psychoactive. CBD does enhance feelings of calm and relaxation, and some might refer to that as a “buzz” but compared to THC, it is so mild that it is not generally considered “high inducing”. The OG’s in this community might recall the Savage CBD Hemp Flower that we used to sell, but when we pivoted to a Delta 8 THC focus, we realized customers wanted more than just a CBD Calm.
This is where the next evolution of flower arose: Infused Hemp Flower. We thought, “hmmm let’s take hemp flower, but make it buzzy.” We realized that if we could take the concentrated THC from hemp to create vapes and edibles, then we could infuse that concentrate back into our hemp flower to make it much stronger. This also gave us more control over the taste and experience our customers would have with our infused hemp flower. Our first range of this flower included Delta 8 infused buds and prerolls, which we called Delta 8 Flower, and our next variations featured Delta 10 THC, HXY-11, HXY-9, THCP, and THCB. Then THCA hit the scene and that is all anyone wanted.
THCA Infused Flower vs THCA Flower
Before we started offering our premium Diamond Heights THCA Flower, we launched the Adios Blend THCA Infused Hemp Flower. This was at the beginning of THCA’s rise to popularity, and straight THCA flower was not really a thing yet. So we infused our bestselling Hemp Flower with THCA and THCP for that extra kick.
Behind the scenes, we were growing and sourcing and seeking the best quality, pure THCA flower. We took our time on this, because when we debuted our Diamond Heights Collection, we wanted it to be the highest quality and incredibly potent. Which is exactly what our Diamond Heights Flower is!
THCA Flower vs THC Flower
If Hemp Flower is mostly CBD and a little THC, and Marijuana is mostly THC and a little CBD, then what is THCA Flower? It’s magic, pure magic. (Just kidding, but it does feel like magic.) But it does beg the question, how is THCA Flower made? It’s Cannabis flower that has been bred to be high in THCA and low in THC and CBD. The strains being used for THCA Flower are carefully cultivated specifically for their THCA content.
This begs the question, what is the difference between all of these types of flower? It’s been established that hemp flower alone is very, very low potency. Infused hemp flower is mid potency, and THC Flower (aka Marijuana) is obviously high potency. So where does THCA Flower fall in this spectrum? Once heated, THCA decarboxylizes and becomes psychoactive with similar effects to traditional THC. So, THCA flower is typically regarded as high potency.
Different Types of THCA Flower
Now that we understand why THCA Flower is different than hemp flower, I thought it would be helpful to give some brief insights into the different ways THCA Flower is sold.
THCA Flower Buds
This is pretty straight forward, as these are jars (or bags) of pure, THCA Flower in the strain of your choice. At Delta Extrax we offer a range of 7 strains so everyone can pick their go-to!
THCA PreRolls
Another type we offer at Delta Extrax are THCA prerolls, which currently come in three strains. Our prerolls boast more than a gram of THCA Flower per roll, with two per container. These are perfect for sharing….or just having an extra for yourself.
THCA Moon Rocks
Moon Rocks are nuggets of THCA flower coated in either concentrate or kief. Also known as “moon rock weed” these offer a very potent experience and aren’t recommended for those new to THC. Due to the outer layer, these look like little rocks, hence the name.
THCA Snowcaps or Snowballs
Snowballs or Snowcaps are also THCA flower nuggets, just these are coated in crystalized THCA isolate. Similar to moon rocks, THCA snowcaps are pretty potent due to being highly concentrated. They’re typically white in appearance, as if they’re covered in snow.
