What is CBD flower?

CBD flower is the dried flower of a hemp strain (Cannabis sativa L.) that is rich in CBD and low in THC. It is the flowering tops of the female plant, also known as buds.

At first glance, it looks like regular cannabis flower: the same appearance, the same trichomes. The difference lies in its composition: CBD is its main cannabinoid, and its THC content stays below 0.3%.

Each flower is unique in its strain, appearance and aromas. Not sure which one to choose? Take a look at our pick of the best CBD flower.

Indoor, greenhouse or outdoor CBD flower: what’s the difference?

It’s one of the questions we’re asked most often, and it’s also what affects the price most. It all depends on how the plant was grown, and the product page for each flower shows its growing method:

Indoor. Light, temperature and humidity are controlled throughout the cycle: nothing depends on the weather. The result is the densest flower with the cleanest aroma, but also the most expensive to produce. Examples include EUREKA (Tropicana Cookies), YUBA (Blue Dream) and ONIRIA (Amnesia); see our selection in the indoor CBD flower category.

Greenhouse and hybrid greenhouse. The plant gets the benefit of sunlight while staying protected. Most of our greenhouse flower is grown in a hybrid greenhouse, a glass greenhouse with supplementary lighting: the flower is slightly less dense than indoor, with a very good aroma and a lower price. This is our classic range, with GREEN LIME, CANDY KRUSH and LOWRIDER: see all our greenhouse CBD flower.

Outdoor. The plants are grown in the open air, in direct sunlight, following the seasons. The flower is usually airier and its profile varies a little from one harvest to the next; on the other hand, it’s the cheapest option. In our range, this is the case with THE ELDER (Space Queen): base genotype, the EU-certified strain KOMPOLTI; Space Queen-type phenotype. Analysis of batch B28621202200003 of 20 February 2025 (CTAEX laboratory): total CBD 10.69%, total THC 0%, total CBG 2.51%.

CBD flower strains: genetics, CBD and CBG

As CBD flower has grown in popularity, the range has expanded considerably: today you can find CBD versions of the aroma profiles of most of the major cannabis strains.

A strain’s genetics work on two levels. The base genotype is an EU-certified hemp strain, selected for its high CBD content and very low THC content. The phenotype, on the other hand, is selected for its aroma profile: this is what links it to big names such as Gelato, Amnesia, Lemon Haze or Gorilla Glue. For example, GREEN LIME has the EU-certified strain SANTHICA 27 as its base genotype and a Lemon Diesel-type phenotype, from a California Sour × Lost Coast OG cross.

On our product pages, “indica”, “sativa” and “hybrid” describe the plant’s growth habit: indicas are short and compact, with broad leaves, sativas are tall and slender, with narrow leaves, and almost all of today’s strains are hybrids of the two. These words refer neither to the species nor to legal status: botanically, there is only one species, Cannabis sativa L. To find out more, here are the differences between sativa and indica.

CBG flower

Alongside CBD-rich flower, we offer CBG-rich flower, another cannabinoid found in hemp. This is the case with SUAVE G (Lemon Sorbet): analysis of batch B33922202400001 of 4 August 2026 (CTAEX laboratory): total CBG 10.05%, total CBD 1.3%, total THC 0%. Our range also includes PALMERA G (Grape Ape).

CBD flower aroma profiles

A flower’s aroma profile depends mainly on its combination of terpenes. On the product page, the aroma wheel groups each strain’s notes into families. Here are the ones in our range, with a few strains where they stand out:

• Citrus (lemon, mandarin, grapefruit): GREEN LIME, VIBRATION, ORANGE MOOD.
• Tropical (mango, pineapple, passion fruit): EUREKA, GUAVA, OHANA.
• Fruity and red fruit (strawberry, cherry, berries): CANDY KRUSH, NINJA FRUIT, MARULA.
• Sweet (caramel, biscuit, cream): TRINITY, LOWRIDER, MIKADO.
• Floral (lavender): HIMALAYA, YUBA, PURPLE BUDDHA.
• Herbal and minty (fresh grass, green notes, hops): BLUE GREEN, SUNSET, THE ELDER.
• Pine and resin (resinous notes, incense): HALLEY, BUBBA DREAM, MARULA.
• Woody and earthy (earth, wood, kush): FUNKY MONKEY, LILITH, MIKADO.
• Spicy (spices, ginger): FËNIX, ELEN, PALMERA G.
• Gas and skunk (diesel, glue): NEW YORK, FUNKY MONKEY, GREEN LIME.
• Cheesy and funky: MELLOW, LILITH.
• Roasted (chocolate, hazelnut): as a hint in MIKADO and HALLEY.

To compare several profiles, our flavour bundles bring together flowers from the same aroma family: Fresh citrus, Tropical, Floral skunk and Earthy kush.

Colour matters too: find out why some flowers take on purple hues in our article on purple cannabis.

How to choose your CBD flower

Four pointers let you compare flowers before you order, and you’ll find them on the product page for each flower:

• The aroma profile: this is often the first thing people look at. Start from the aroma families above, or begin with a flavour bundle.
• The growing method: indoor, hybrid greenhouse, greenhouse or outdoor, which affects how the flower looks and its price.
• The lab results: the CBD, CBG and THC levels measured by the laboratory, with the report number and the date.
• Format and budget: a small format to try, a large format for the strain you already know, small buds or CBD trim for a tight budget.

How to read CBD flower lab results

Each strain has its own profile of cannabinoids (CBD, CBG…) and terpenes. Cannabinoids are measured in the laboratory: the results from the independent CTAEX laboratory are published on our certificates of analysis page (version of 12 October 2026) and shown on the product page for each flower. Here’s how to read them:

• The report and the date: these identify the analysis. The product page states whether it is the analysis of the batch on sale or of a previous batch.
• Total CBD and total CBG: each value adds together the neutral form of the cannabinoid and its acid form, for example CBD + 0.877 × CBDA.
• Total THC: this is calculated in the same way, Δ9-THC + 0.877 × THCA, and it is the value that THC limits refer to, where a country sets one. A value of 0% means the laboratory measured less than 0.01%.
• The method: cannabinoids are measured by liquid chromatography (HPLC).

The aroma profile, on the other hand, is described on the page for each strain: it is not a terpene analysis. To find out more, we explain what CBD is.

Prices and formats: buds, small buds or trim

All our flower comes in several formats, from a small bag to try a strain to a large format. Before you choose, bear one thing in mind: the larger the format, the less you pay per gram. The starting point depends on the growing method: indoor flower costs more than greenhouse, and greenhouse more than outdoor.

• Buds: the whole flower, the format for most of our strains.
• Small buds: small flowers from several of our strains, much cheaper because of their size. See our CBD small buds.
• CBD trim: also known as shake, these are the fragments of flower removed when the buds are trimmed, sold by strain or as a mix; the product page for a single-strain trim shows the lab results of its original flower. See our CBD trim.

Which format suits you?

For a first order, or to try a new strain, the small formats are made for it: you can try without committing. Once you’ve found your favourite, move on to the large formats: that’s where the price per gram really comes down.

And if you can’t decide between several strains, take a look at the bundles: the Mini bundle of 5 premium CBD flowers, the Bundle of 8 premium CBD flowers, greenhouse and indoor and the Bundle of 9 CBD flowers. They work out cheaper than buying individually, and they’re the easiest way to find yours.

How to store your CBD flower

After harvest, drying and curing preserve the flower’s aromas. It is then packed in a sealed bag, which protects it until it is opened.

Once it’s with you, the simplest thing is to keep it in the same bag, closed tightly after each opening, in a cupboard or another dark, cool, dry place. Light, heat and humidity are the main enemies of its aromas. All our tips are in our guide to storing CBD flower.

“THC-free” CBD flower: what the lab results and the law say

CBD flower is not completely free of THC: it can contain traces. Ours contains less than 0.3%: in the 28 flower analyses published on our certificates page (CTAEX laboratory, version of 12 October 2026), total THC ranges from 0% to 0.12%. It all comes down to the strain: our flower comes from EU-certified strains, selected for their high CBD content and very low THC content. It is the same species as regular cannabis, with different genetics.

And does it get you high? No. CBD isn't psychoactive: the compound that produces that effect is THC, and our flower contains less than 0.3%. If you'd like to know more, we explain it in Does CBD get you high?, and the differences between the two plants in hemp vs cannabis.

In Europe, each country sets its own rules for hemp flower. In most countries, cannabis with THC is not legal, and in some, such as the UK, hemp flower is controlled even when its THC content is low. Check the rules in your country before you order.
