CBD Flower Grading Explained – What Do Our 1–5 Leaf Grades Mean?

CBD Flower Grading Explained – What Do Our 1–5 Leaf Grades Mean?

At Green Budz, we believe in keeping things clear and honest — that’s why we created our exclusive 1–5 leaf grading system for CBD flower.

Whether you’re new to CBD or a regular buyer, this quick guide helps you understand exactly what to expect from each grade.

Grade 5 – Premium Indoor Quality

Our top-shelf strains. Grade 5 flowers are dense, perfectly trimmed, and packed with flavour. These are often award-winning or exotic strains with strong aromas and beautiful structure.

Perfect for connoisseurs looking for the best of the best.

Grade 4 – High Quality with Minor Flaws

Still indoor grown and very good quality, but may contain small imperfections like a few seeds or slightly looser trim.

Great value for those who want strong effects and flavour without paying premium prices.

Grade 3 and Below – Everyday & Budget Picks

Greenhouse-grown or looser buds with more variation. Grade 2 includes our Shake & Small Buds, which are ideal for rolling, infusing, or stretching your stash.

They still carry full-spectrum effects, just not the visual perfection of higher grades.

Why It Matters

Our grading system helps you choose based on quality, budget, and use — whether you’re relaxing, blending, or exploring new strains.

No mystery, no surprises — just honest CBD.
