Small Buds

Whole flower in smaller buds, sold under names such as smalls, minis, littles, popcorn, or shmediums. They are the buds that fall below the size an MMTC sets for its standard whole flower. They often come from the lower or inner parts of the plant, which receive less light.

Small buds are still whole flower, not ground, not shake, and not trim. They usually cost less per gram. Potency and terpene content can match the larger buds of the same strain or run somewhat lower, so the lab report for the specific batch is a good way to compare.

Hybrid

A plant bred from both indica-type and sativa-type parents. Menus use "Hybrid" for effects described as in between or mixed. The label is often narrowed to indica-dominant hybrid, sativa-dominant hybrid, or balanced ("50/50"). Any percentages given are the breeder's estimate from the plant's family tree, not a measured one.

After decades of crossbreeding, nearly all modern commercial strains are hybrids in the genetic sense, regardless of the label they carry. The label says more about how a product is positioned than about the plant. A listed lineage (the cross) is more specific, but a strain name doesn't guarantee chemistry either.
