Strain Breakdown
The Royal Details
Delta Diamonds is exotic grade, which means it was picked out of the indoor crop as the best of it. Sold from 7 grams up to a pound, part of the Kingdom’s indoor and exotic THCA flower.
The short version
- Trim quality is the last step before a bud is sold, and it is the one people notice first.
- Hand trimming and machine trimming produce visibly different flower.
- Machine trimming knocks trichomes off. That is the real cost, not just appearance.
- Six weights, starting at 7 grams.
What trimming actually is
When a plant is harvested, every bud is surrounded by leaves. Some are large fan leaves, some are small sugar leaves growing out of the flower itself. Trimming is removing them.
It sounds trivial. It is not, because sugar leaves carry far fewer trichomes than the bud does, so leaving them in dilutes what you are smoking and makes the smoke harsher. Removing them well, without damaging the bud, is skilled work.
Hand trimmed against machine trimmed
| Hand trimmed | Machine trimmed | |
|---|---|---|
| Method | Scissors, bud by bud | Tumbler with rotating blades |
| Speed | Slow and expensive | Fast and cheap |
| Bud shape | Natural, retains structure | Rounded, sometimes uniform looking |
| Trichomes | Largely preserved | Knocked off by the tumbling |
| Typical grade | Exotic and top indoor | Bulk and value tiers |
How to spot it
Machine trimmed flower often looks too uniform, with buds rounded off into similar shapes and a slightly scuffed surface where the frost has been knocked back.
Hand trimmed flower keeps the shape the plant actually grew, with the trichome layer intact. On an exotic that difference is a large part of what the premium buys, because the trichomes are where the cannabinoids and terpenes both live.
Why it costs more
Hand trimming is slow. A skilled trimmer works bud by bud with scissors, and on a large crop that is a serious amount of labour. A machine does the same volume in a fraction of the time for a fraction of the cost.
That labour is one of the quiet reasons exotic grade costs what it does, alongside the indoor growing and the selection. None of it is visible on a label, which is why it is worth knowing about.
Choosing a weight
| Size | Grams | Suits |
|---|---|---|
| 7 grams | 7 g | Trying an exotic before committing |
| 14 grams | 14 g | A half ounce |
| 28 grams | 28 g | An ounce |
| Quarter pound | 112 g | A steady smoker, a month or two |
| Half pound | 225 g | Heavy use, or splitting with others |
| Pound | 450 g | Volume buying |
Storing it
Airtight, cool and dark. Glass rather than plastic, because plastic builds static and pulls trichomes off the bud. Having paid for a well trimmed, heavily frosted flower, it is worth not undoing that in a plastic tub. A humidity pack rated 58 to 62% keeps it steady. Do not freeze it.
Look at the buds properly
Next time you open a bag, look at the shape before you grind. Rounded, uniform buds with a scuffed surface were machine trimmed. Irregular buds with an intact frost layer were done by hand.
