Smalls

Smalls are the small buds sorted out of a harvest — same plant, same cannabinoid content, less visual drama. They typically sell 20–40% cheaper per gram than the A-buds they grew alongside, which makes them the best value proposition in flower for anyone not buying with their eyes. The honest caveats: smalls can run slightly drier, trim quality varies more, and some vendors quietly use the smalls bag as a home for shake and larf. A COA covers the potency question; the vendor’s reputation covers the rest. Our reviews treat a good smalls program as a mark in a vendor’s favor.
