Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How can I verify a supplier's quality control processes?
A: Request detailed documentation of their cultivation, processing, and testing procedures. Professional suppliers provide comprehensive quality control documentation and welcome facility visits or virtual tours.
Q: What moisture content should I expect in properly cured hemp flower?
A: Properly cured hemp flower should contain 8-12% moisture content. Higher moisture indicates incomplete curing and potential mold risk, while lower moisture suggests over-drying and degraded quality.
Q: How important is third-party testing for hemp flower quality control?
A: Third-party testing is essential for regulatory compliance and quality verification. It provides objective confirmation of cannabinoid content, safety, and quality standards that protect both dispensaries and customers.
Q: What visual indicators suggest high-quality hemp flower?
A: Premium hemp flower shows dense, well-trimmed buds with heavy trichome coverage, vibrant natural coloration, and consistent structure across the batch. Avoid products with brown discoloration, sparse trichomes, or excessive stem content.
Q: How do I evaluate a supplier's batch consistency?
A: Request COAs from multiple batches of the same strain and analyze cannabinoid content variance. Professional suppliers maintain <5% variation in CBD content and consistent terpene profiles between batches.
