How Do THCA Snowballs Smell?

THCA snowballs are the talk of the cannabis market at the moment, consisting of THCA flower rolled in a dust made by grinding up THCA diamonds.  While the product obviously shares a lot in common with standard THCA flower buds, there are some distinct differences that are important to be aware of in order to know that you’re getting the real thing.  One thing you may be wondering is whether or not THCA snowballs have a distinctive smell to be on the lookout for, compared to the smell of “regular” flower.

What’s the Difference Between THCA Snowballs and THCA Flower?

First, let’s cover the key differences between THCA snowballs and THCA flower, since that explains a lot about whether or not there’s going to be a difference in the aroma.  THCA flower refers to hemp flower buds that are cultivated using special methods that lead to high levels of THCA, aka tetrahydrocannabinolic acid, which is the raw precursor to delta 9 THC.  When THCA is heated, like through smoking or vaping, it converts into delta 9 THC, which is why THCA flower is basically a legal form of weed.  

THCA flower buds come in the same strains as marijuana, with the same potency in terms of the high you can feel.  So, how are THCA snowballs different?  Well, like we said earlier, the only difference is that THCA snowballs are THCA flower buds that are rolled in THCA diamond dust.  THCA diamond dust is a pulverized form of THCA diamonds, which are the result of purifying the THCA cannabinoid in the plant material until it naturally converts into a crystalline form – hence the name.

THCA snowballs therefore have all of the properties of THCA flower, with the addition of an extra coating of pure THCA crystals to bring up the potency of THCA, which, of course, means a higher potency of delta 9 THC once you use the flower.

What is THCA Flower Supposed to Smell Like?

Let’s focus on THCA flower for a moment, since that’s the foundation of THCA snowballs.  THCA flower is typically going to have a pretty pungent aroma, with strong “green” notes and a complex overall aroma profile.  The thing about the aroma of flower is that it’s going to vary depending on a few factors, as seen below.

Factor #1: Strain Type

THCA flower, like all cannabis flower products, comes in a huge variety of strains.  And, as you probably know, each strain of cannabis has its own distinctive aroma profile.  That’s because every strain has a specific composition of terpenes, and it’s the terpenes in cannabis that carry the plant’s aroma molecules.  Each terpene has a specific scent, so the composition of terpenes is going to make up the complex aroma profile of each particular strain.

Strains can vary quite a bit in terms of aroma.  Some have strong notes of citrus and skunkiness, while others literally smell like desserts, candies, or cereals.  Today, breeders put more effort than ever into creating strains that have unique and delicious aroma and flavor profiles.

Factor #2: Overall Freshness

How fresh the flower is will play a big role in the pungency and complexity of the aroma.  The longer flower ages, the more it loses its scent, little by little.  At about the 6-month point, THCA flower tends to lose a large portion of its aroma pungency.

Factor #3: Cultivation Practices

Yes, how the flower was cultivated certainly matters.  Subtle differences in things like light exposure, heat, humidity, and nutrient intake can affect the pungency and quality of the smell of THCA flower.

Do THCA Diamonds Alter the Aroma of Flower?

So, do snowballs smell any different from regular THCA flower?  To answer this, we need to understand the aroma of THCA itself.  We said before that terpenes are the compounds that carry the aroma of the cannabis plant.  And, THCA is not a terpene, but a cannabinoid.  As it turns out, cannabinoids like THCA are completely odorless.  And, since the THCA diamond dust that coats every bud is pure THCA, it has zero impact on the aroma of the product.

What this basically means is that THCA snowballs should smell no different from THCA flower.  In fact, if there is a big difference in aroma, that’s a great indicator that the product is actually fake – that is, what’s coating the buds is not pure THCA diamond dust, after all.

What Can Be Done if Your THCA Diamonds Smell “Off”?

Alright, let’s say you take a whiff of your new THCA snowballs, and something isn’t right.  If you’re wondering what this could be, there are a few key examples of why that may be the case.

The Snowballs are Old

Like we said, when flower is no longer fresh, it starts to lose its aroma’s pungency and complexity.  Now, the same would obviously apply to THCA snowballs.  If you’re not getting the depth and strength of aroma you’d expect from a flower product, it’s probably past its peak of freshness.

The Snowballs are Fake

Again, if you smell THCA snowballs and they don’t smell like regular flower, that’s a good sign that the coating is not actually THCA diamonds at all – or, in rarer cases, that there are added ingredients in the flower itself, like chemical preservatives, etc.  You should never consume THCA snowballs that you suspect are fake or added to in some way.

The Snowballs are Moldy

Finally, if there’s a mildewy or rancid smell, that means that there’s a good chance your flower has gotten moldy due to high moisture exposure.  If your flower is moldy, please throw it out, as it can be very dangerous to consume.

Bottom Line: THCA Diamonds Should Have a Satisfying Aroma 

THCA flower snowballs should always smell just like THCA flower, and high-quality THCA flower, at that.  Like we said, the addition of THCA diamonds should have no impact on the aroma, as the cannabinoid has no aroma qualities to speak of.
