A complete guide on bud, joint and effect grading

The three-step-evaluation process of our grading system

Our Guide to the TDC Grading system will guide you through the key aspects of evaluating the quality of your buds, the smoke experience and tracking the effects you felt after consuming. 

To do so, we dive into our mindful grading protocol for each cannabis quality measurement and explain not only the evaluation, but also the mindful focus when grading your cannabis.

While the evaluation focus will inform you about what the particular grading aspect evaluates, the mindful focus will remind you on the senses and perception you must pay attention to when grading your cannabis products. 

Instructions to grading the Aroma Complexity of your products

In addition, the PDF will also help to refresh the knowledge you acquired from our Cannabis Microscopy course on how to evaluate trichomes and spot undesirables.

As a result, the document covers the evaluation of trichome visibility, trichome colour and trichome development while also listing the various undesirables you can find in your cannabis buds.
