CRAFT CANNABIS FAQs
Why is craft cannabis more expensive?
The quality-over-quantity approach means that craft cannabis producers often yield less product per harvest, which can contribute to higher costs.
Is craft cannabis more potent?
Dialling-in the perfect inputs of water, light, and nutrients might yield higher potency cannabis plants but that's not necessarily the main objective when cultivating craft cannabis.
Craft cannabis often aims to accentuate the best qualities of each cultivar and high terpene content (equating to big aromas and bold flavour profiles) and visual appeal (i.e. big buds and trichome coverage) are equally important to connoisseurs.
Why are some cannabis strains only available from craft growers?
Uncommon genetics often appeal to niche markets, such consumers looking for specific cannabinoid profiles or flavour aficionados. Craft growers cater to these specialized demands by offering strains that are difficult to find elsewhere.
Overall, uncommon genetics allow craft cannabis growers to maintain their commitment to quality, innovation, and distinctiveness, which resonates with consumers seeking a more curated and unique cannabis experience.
Is craft cannabis organic?
Many craft cannabis growers prioritize organic and sustainable farming practices, avoiding synthetic pesticides and fertilizers and may opt instead for beneficial predatory insects.
Some producers even buck the trend of irradiation in effort to preserve trichomes and terpenes for maximum bag appeal.
