The Dirty Secret Behind Sprayed Flower — and How to Avoid It
It might look frosty. It might even test high.
But if your “THCA flower” was sprayed in a warehouse instead of grown in a field—it’s not the real thing.
As the hemp market grows, so do the shortcuts. And one of the biggest issues facing consumers today is sprayed flower—hemp buds that are artificially coated with synthetic cannabinoids or THCA isolate to mimic premium cannabis.
At Geremy Greens Farm, we’re committed to keeping your flower clean, natural, and transparently grown. Here’s what you need to know to protect your lungs, your wallet, and your peace of mind.
What Is Sprayed Flower?
Sprayed flower is typically low-grade hemp that has been:
-
Coated with THCA isolate or distillate
-
Infused post-harvest with synthetic cannabinoids
-
Rolled in kief to cover the artificial appearance
It’s done to make a weak or legal hemp product look like potent indoor flower. And it’s more common than most people think—especially with low-cost or unbranded options on the market.
Why It’s a Problem
1. Unnatural Combustion
Sprayed flower often burns unevenly, smokes harsh, and produces residue—not to mention what it does to your lungs over time.
2. False Lab Results
Some labs test only the coating, not the whole nug. That means your COA might reflect sprayed-on THCA, not what’s actually inside the plant.
3. No Terpenes
The natural flavor and effects you get from real cannabis are missing. Even if the numbers look good, it won’t hit right.
4. Health Risks
If it’s sprayed with unknown synthetic cannabinoids (as is often the case in bad actors’ supply chains), you’re gambling with substances not tested for inhalation safety.
How to Spot Sprayed Flower: A Quick Buyer’s Checklist
| Red Flag | What to Look For |
|---|---|
| Wet, sticky feel | Overly damp surface that doesn’t feel natural |
| Crystalline chunks | Uneven or visible coating of isolate “dust” |
| Burns with black ash | Harsh smoke, poor combustion |
| No strain aroma | Lacks the loud nose or terpene profile of real cannabis |
| Strange COAs | Lab results that seem inflated, vague, or too uniform across batches |
If it smells like nothing but tests at 35%? Be skeptical.
