FAQs — Cannabis Flower
- What is THCA flower? THCA (tetrahydrocannabinolic acid) is the raw, non-psychoactive precursor to THC found in fresh cannabis flower. When heated through smoking, vaping, or cooking — a process called decarboxylation — THCA converts into THC, producing the effects associated with cannabis. Browse our full THCA flower collection to explore available strains.
- Is your cannabis flower lab-tested? Yes. Every flower product sold at Royal Apothecary is third-party lab-tested for potency, pesticides, heavy metals, and residual solvents. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) is available for each product. If you need a COA for a specific strain, contact us via Live Chat and we’ll send it directly.
- What sizes do you offer? Our flower products are available in multiple size options commonly 3.5g (eighth), 7g (quarter), 14g (half ounce), and 28g (ounce) depending on the strain. Size options are shown on each individual product page. Shop all flower to compare.
- What’s the difference between Indica, Sativa, and Hybrid strains? Indica strains are generally associated with relaxing, body-heavy effects ideal for evening use. Sativa strains tend to produce more uplifting, cerebral effects suited for daytime. Hybrid strains blend characteristics of both. Each product page lists whether the strain is Indica-Dominant, Sativa-Dominant, or Balanced Hybrid to help you choose.
- What are “Smalls”? Smalls are smaller-sized buds of the same high-quality flower same genetics, same potency, just a lower price point due to size. They’re perfect for grinding and rolling. Look for “Smalls” in the product name to identify these offerings, such as Blue Nerdz Smalls THCA Flower and Illemonati Smalls THCA Flower.
- How do I store cannabis flower properly? Store your flower in an airtight container (glass jar preferred) in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight, heat, and humidity. Avoid plastic bags for long-term storage as they can degrade trichomes. Proper storage preserves aroma, potency, and freshness for weeks to months.
