Flowers

Indoor, hydroponic, greenhouse: where a CBD flower comes from

All our flowers are dried hemp inflorescences (Cannabis sativa L.). What sets them apart first is where the plant grew. Indoors, the grower controls light, temperature and watering; hydroponics is a soil-free variant of indoor growing, with the roots bathed in nutrient-enriched water. In a greenhouse, the plant gets sunlight behind a wall that shields it from rain and wind. Outdoors, it simply follows the seasons.

No method is better in absolute terms. Indoor growing aims for regular, compact buds and costs a little more per gram: see our indoor CBD flowers, including the hydroponic Amnesia in a sealed 5 g jar (€29.90, €5.98 per gram). The greenhouse aims for the best balance between price and aroma: our greenhouse CBD flowers start with the Harlequin in 5 g at €11.90.

2 g or 5 g, sealed jar or OKU pouch: reading the format

Most varieties come in two weights. The 2 g lets you try a variety without committing; the 5 g lowers the price per gram. The price per gram is the only figure that lets you compare two pages: divide the price by the weight before you choose.

Two kinds of packaging coexist, and the page always says which one. The first is the manufacturer's sealed packaging, delivered as is. The second is the 5 g OKU pouch, which we fill from the manufacturer's bulk, with the weight checked before sealing: this is the case of the Mix Buds in a 5 g pouch at €13.90. Finally, "small buds" are smaller-grade buds of the same variety, sold for less, like the White Widow small buds at €12.90 for 5 g. The look changes, the plant stays the same.

What a page tells you, and what it does not

Each page gives the variety, the growing method, the origin when the supplier states it (Italy or Switzerland for most), the weight and the THC level declared by the manufacturer: below 0.2% on most flowers, never above the legal limit of 0.3%. When a producer gives no CBD level for a batch, we do not make one up. We do not yet publish batch-by-batch laboratory analyses: the figure shown is the manufacturer's, and we prefer to say so.

Aroma: what a variety name promises

A flower's smell comes mostly from its terpenes, aromatic molecules also found in lemon zest, pepper or lavender. A name like Lemon or Orange Bud points to a family of aromas, not a guarantee: drying, the age of the batch and how it is stored matter just as much. Some flowers put another cannabinoid, CBG, forward, like the Banana Cream CBG; the page always says so in the name.

Keeping a flower in good condition

A dried flower fears four things: light, heat, air and humidity. A well-closed glass jar in a mild cupboard is enough in most cases; the fridge is a false good idea, because of condensation each time you open it.

The legal framework in France

In France, selling hemp flowers to individuals has been possible since the Conseil d'État annulled, on 29 December 2022, the ban set at the end of 2021. Two conditions of the order of 30 December 2021 remain: a variety listed in the official catalogue, and a THC content of 0.3% or less. A CBD flower is not a food, and it is for adults aged 18 and over. We deliver it in France only. This paragraph summarises public texts; it is not legal advice.

Still torn between a flower and a resin? The CBD flower and resin sampler holds two sealed 2 g jars for €22.90. And if you already know you prefer resin, go straight to CBD resin, or browse the CBD shop online.

Frequently asked questions about CBD flowers

Are CBD flowers legal in France?

Yes, if the plant comes from a variety listed in the official catalogue and its THC content does not exceed 0.3%. This is the framework of the order of 30 December 2021, as it applies since the Conseil d'État decision of 29 December 2022. Sale is for adults only.

What is the difference between indoor, hydroponic and greenhouse flowers?

Indoor flowers grow inside under artificial light; hydroponics is soil-free indoor growing; the greenhouse uses sunlight sheltered from the weather. Indoor usually gives more regular buds at a higher price per gram, the greenhouse gentler prices.

How much does delivery cost for CBD flowers?

€4.90 while your CBD purchases stay under €45, and delivery is free from €45. The parcel arrives in France in 4 to 8 business days, with tracking sent by e-mail.

Why do some pages show no CBD level?

Because the producer did not state one for that batch. Rather than estimate a figure, we leave it out. The THC level is always shown, as declared by the manufacturer.

What does "small buds" mean on a page?

Smaller-grade buds sorted from the same variety. They cost less than standard buds; their look is less regular, but the plant and its growing are the same.

Do you deliver CBD flowers outside France?

No. CBD flowers and resins are delivered in France only. OKU merch is delivered across the European Union.
