I’ve been exploring a lot of exotic indoor THCA flower lately and noticing huge differences in quality, even when strains are marketed the same way. Some batches have perfect calyx stacking, dense trichome coverage, and a terp profile that hits instantly, while others fall short despite being labeled “exotic.” It made me wonder what standards the community here uses to judge true top-tier indoor.
For example, do you prioritize terpene intensity over visual appeal? Does a long cure matter more to you than phenotype expression? And how much weight do you give to consistent burn quality, moisture content, and overall resin production?
I’d love to hear from growers, extractors, and regular connoisseurs about the specific traits that define real exotic indoor flower in today’s market. This community has some of the sharpest eyes around, so your insights would help a lot.
