How Sonic Bloom Selects the Best THCA Flower in North Carolina: Inside Our Quality Scoring System

How Sonic Bloom Selects the Best THCA Flower in North Carolina: Inside Our Quality Scoring System

When people search for the best THCA flower, what they’re really looking for is trust. In a fast-growing industry full of inconsistent quality, questionable testing, and “mystery bud,” Sonic Bloom in Statesville, NC takes a different approach.

We don’t guess.
We don’t chase hype strains.
And we definitely don’t put anything on our shelves that we wouldn’t smoke ourselves.

Instead, every batch of THCA flower goes through a detailed scoring process — one designed to protect our customers, ensure legality, and deliver a truly premium experience each time you walk through our doors.

Here’s exactly how we determine what earns the title of best THCA flower at Sonic Bloom.


1. Compliance & Legality Come First (40 Points)

Before we consider aroma, trichomes, or effects, there’s one non-negotiable: the flower must be 100% compliant, safe, and legal.

Our team verifies:

  • DEA-certified COAs and/or full panel testing for accuracy and legitimacy

  • Proper D9 levels that meet federal hemp guidelines

  • Licensed, transparent growers

  • Clean test results free of pesticides, heavy metals, microbials, or residual solvents

  • Full batch traceability from seed to shelf

If a product doesn’t pass compliance, it never enters our dispensary — no exceptions.

The best THCA flower starts with safety.


2. Terpene Profile & Aroma (25 Points)

Once legality is confirmed, the next thing we assess is the soul of the flower: its terpenes.

At Sonic Bloom, we’re obsessed with:

  • Loudness — does the aroma hit you the moment the jar opens?

  • Complexity — is the terpene profile layered or one-note?

  • Freshness — does it smell clean, bright, and alive?

  • Signature characteristics — does the strain express its true identity?

Great flower should pull you in with scent alone.
If it doesn’t excite your senses, it won’t make our menu.


3. Aesthetic Quality & Bud Structure (15 Points)

Beautiful flower isn’t everything — but it signals care, craftsmanship, and quality.

Our team looks closely at:

  • Trichome coverage and frost level

  • Density and structural integrity

  • Coloration and vibrancy

  • Trim quality (no sloppy machine jobs)

Clean, frosty, well-grown buds show that the cultivator respects the plant — and the customer.


4. Growing Environment & Craftsmanship (10 Points)

Legendary flower doesn’t happen by accident.
It comes from cultivators who treat their grow rooms like science labs and their strains like living art.

Points are awarded based on:

  • Indoor, greenhouse, or light-dep methods

  • Dry and cure process

  • Environmental controls

  • Sustainability and cleanliness practices

  • The grower’s reputation for consistency

Craft cannabis is about intention.
We choose growers who care about the plant as much as we do.


5. Effects & Experience (10 Points)

Finally — and only after everything else checks out — we evaluate how the flower actually feels.

We assess:

  • Smoothness of smoke

  • Flavor on inhale and exhale

  • Potency and onset

  • Clarity and consistency of effects

  • How closely it matches the expected strain profile

Whether you’re seeking relaxation, focus, creativity, or mood elevation, the effects should deliver exactly what the strain promises.
