Buying Guide
Buying a THCA flower ounce (28g) is one of the easiest ways to get better value, but it also comes with more “small decisions” than buying an eighth.
If you pick the wrong product, you can end up with flower that feels too intense, too dry, or simply not worth the money.
This THCA flower ounce (28g) buying guide covers what THCA flower is, how to pick a good ounce, why many people prefer a hybrid ounce,
how long 28g can last, and how to store an ounce so it stays fresh. It also includes a practical checklist you can use on any product page.

Best “safe middle”
Many buyers choose a hybrid THCA flower ounce for balance and flexibility.
Biggest mistake
Most “bad ounces” are actually storage problems (dryness), not “bad flower.”
What to verify
28g clarity, type, COA access, shipping restrictions, and support steps.
Quick navigation
Quick answers (so you can decide fast)
What is THCA flower?
THCA flower is hemp flower that contains THCA, a cannabinoid found naturally in raw flower.
When heated (for example, by smoking or vaping), THCA can convert into THC through a process called decarboxylation.
Why do people buy a THCA flower ounce (28g)?
- Better value than smaller sizes
- Fewer reorders
- A consistent stash for a week-to-month depending on usage
What matters most when choosing an ounce?
- A product page that is clear about what you are buying (weight, type, and what to expect)
- Freshness and storage guidance
- Transparent shipping rules and support steps
- Verification (COA access), presented simply
The 3-step decision path (use this before you buy)
Step 1
Pick the type
Hybrid for balance, indica-leaning for wind-down, sativa-leaning for daytime direction.
Step 2
Verify the listing
Confirm 28g (1 oz), COA access + batch info, and shipping restrictions before payment.
Step 3
Protect freshness
Use an airtight glass jar and cool/dark storage from day one. This keeps 28g consistent.
A simple ounce value calculator (use this every time)
Price per gram = total price ÷ 28
Compare smaller sizes: eighth (÷ 3.5), quarter (÷ 7), half (÷ 14).
| Size | Grams | Formula | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Eighth | 3.5g | Price ÷ 3.5 | Trying a strain |
| Quarter | 7g | Price ÷ 7 | Short stash |
| Half | 14g | Price ÷ 14 | Regular use |
| Ounce | 28g | Price ÷ 28 | Best value if stored correctly |
A good ounce usually wins on value. But if the product page is unclear, or storage is ignored, the “cheap ounce” can become the most expensive purchase.
How to choose between hybrid, indica, and sativa for a 28g ounce
Most people buy a THCA flower ounce (28g) because they want something they can use more than once. That is why your choice of type matters.
Hybrid (balanced)
Often the safest all-around choice for day-to-evening use, with fewer extremes.
Indica-leaning (wind-down)
Common pick for end-of-day direction and a heavier feel.
Sativa-leaning (daytime)
Often chosen for a lighter daytime direction. If you are sensitive to overstimulation, start low.
Important reality: Strain labels are not perfect. Two “hybrids” can feel very different. A good product page should give enough clarity to decide with confidence.

How long does a 28g ounce last?
There is no single answer, but this range helps most buyers plan:
- Occasional use: often lasts several weeks
- Moderate use: often lasts 1–3 weeks
- Frequent use: can run through faster, depending on session size
If you are not sure, start with smaller sessions and track your real usage for a few days. That is the easiest way to estimate your pace without guessing.
How to store a THCA flower ounce (28g) so it stays fresh
If you want your ounce to feel consistent from the first session to the last, storage is everything.
Best practices
- Transfer flower to an airtight glass jar after opening
- Store it cool and dark (heat and sunlight reduce freshness)
- Avoid grinding everything at once; grind only what you plan to use soon
- If you use humidity control packs, keep it moderate so moisture stays stable
Common mistakes
- Leaving flower in a thin bag for weeks
- Storing near a window, in a car, or near heat
- Opening and closing repeatedly without sealing properly
