What Are Popcorn Buds?
As the name suggests, popcorn buds are small, compact cannabis buds that grow lower on the cannabis plant. They are about the size of a popcorn kernel and are often sold at a fraction of the price of regular-sized buds.
Despite their lower price and small stature, they are tiny treasurers bursting with flavour, potency and personality.
Popcorn nugs are found on the lower part of the plant, where they don’t receive enough levels of heat, airflow, and sunlight prompting stunted growth.
They also do not receive the same trichomes as their premium counterparts. This means they might not also have the same levels of cannabis-active compounds like cannabinoids and terpenes.
How Strong Are Popcorn Buds?
The potency of popcorn weed strains heavily depends on the growing conditions and harvesting technique.
Some still carry the same effects as the larger nugs, only having stunted growth due to the environment or being harvested early.
Then again, they are considered to be of lower potency than the regular-sized nugs, which is the consensus, due to their limited number of trichomes.
That said, popcorn buds have an appeal that cannabis enthusiasts enjoy.
First, they often have similar effects to full nugs regarding potency and aroma. Nevertheless, they offer a milder experience that appeals to both beginners and experienced cannabis fans.
Second, popcorn strains in Canada are budget-friendly, having a lower price point than most other grades of cannabis.
Finally, popcorn buds are an affordable avenue to try famous strains such as the Iconic popcorn kush strain and popcorn OG strain. These strains are a fine example of the variety of premium weed you can explore with popcorn buds Canada.
