The Woods Report

Navigating the cannabis market can be challenging – from the multitude of strain names, new growers and brand names, as well as concerns about the quality of the product. We get that. And that’s why we have our expert budtender teams put every single product that sits on our shelves through a full testing process, in order to become Woods Certified through The Woods Reports.

The Woods Certification Process

1. Pre-smoke, the bud is inspected under a fine microscope to uncover the finer physical details such as the trichome density, type and aging as well as other characteristics. Package details are compared with lab tested results for the specific batch and compared to other reviews to understand any commonalities where possible.

2. During the smoke, testers undertake a few small dry pulls with a spliff or bong and meticulously note characteristics of the flavor and ash color.

3. After, testers utilize their sommelier and grow training to begin to record details of the high onset, peak and come-down.
