Glossary
A-grade flower has strong visual appearance, intact bud structure, clean trim, minimal scarring, and size generally above 5/8 inch. It commands the highest wholesale and retail price.
The price gap between A-grade and B-grade is where post-harvest economics live. Every pound miscategorized down the tier is real dollars off the top — often $150–$500/lb depending on market.
