What Are Cannabis Budlets and Are They Worth It?

Cannabis budlets are a misunderstood (and underappreciated!) flower format. People often think that smaller buds mean lower-quality cannabis. But that’s not the case! In this post we’ll cover:

  • What are cannabis budlets and how do they differ from other pre-pack flower?
  • Are cannabis budlets lower quality?
  • Why should I buy budlets?

What are cannabis budlets?

Cannabis budlets are small, fully developed cannabis flower buds. Budlets typically form lower on the plant or in tighter clusters, a natural result of a cannabis plant’s growth.You might hear cannabis budlets referred to as B-Buds, smalls, or popcorn buds.

They come from the same plants as full-sized flower, or A-buds. They share all the same genetics, the same grow conditions, the same harvest and cure as the big buds. 

What is the difference between budlets and shake?

Cannabis budlets are not shake, trim, or scraps. At Elevate, budlets are grown, harvested, cured, and packaged with the same standards as our full-size flower.

They naturally fall to the bottom of our storage containers due to their smaller size, but we don’t treat them as leftovers. They’re just a different format of the same carefully cultivated cannabis. 

Quality comes from genetics, cultivation, drying, and curing, not the size of the bud. 

Why should I buy budlets? 

The main difference between your experience with an A-bud versus a cannabis budlet is size. There are even a couple of benefits to a smaller bud.  

Budlets are:

  • more compact
  • grind well, because they have fewer stems and are smaller
  • priced lower (since they aren’t as good-looking as the A-buds).
