nug knowledge

Indica strains are known for relaxing, body-focused effects.

Sativa strains tend to feel uplifting and energizing.

Hybrid strains combine traits of both, offering a balanced experience that can lean calming or stimulating depending on the genetics.

Cannabinoids are the natural compounds found in nug that interact with the body’s endocannabinoid system to produce effects like relaxation, focus, or pain relief. The most well-known are THC (which cause the high) and CBD (known for calming, non-intoxicating effects).

Terpenes are the natural oils in cannabis that give each strain its unique aroma, flavor, and effects. They work together with cannabinoids to shape your overall experience – for example, some terpenes feel more relaxing while others fell more uplifting.

Rosin is a solvent-free nug concentrate made simply with heat + pressure – no chemicals, no additives. The result is a golden, sticky oil packed with pure cannabinoids and terpenes straight from the nug.

How it’s made:

Premium nug, kief, or hash is gently pressed between heated plates. The resin melts and squeezes out as clean, potent rosin. Collected, cooled, and ready for dabbing, vaping, or topping your bowl.

Resin is the natural sticky sap found on nugs that contains cannabinoids and terpenes. When extracted, it becomes a potent concentrate known for bold flavor and smooth effects.

How it’s made:

Typically made using solvent extraction, nugs are washed with light hydrocarbon like butane to pull out cannabinoids and terpenes. The extract is then purged of solvents and refined into a rich, flavorful concentrate.

Distillate is a highly refined nug oil made by heating and purifying extracts to separate cannabinoids like THC or CBD from other plant materials. The result is a potent, flavorless oil often used in vape cartridges, edibles, and tinctures.

Infused Nug has been enhanced by adding cannabis concentrates like distillate, resin, or kief to boost potency, flavor, and aroma.

Non-Infused Nug is the natural, unaltered cannabis nug as it’s harvested and cured from the plant.

- Store in an airtight container – glass jars with tight lids work best.

- Keep it cool, dark, and dry – avoid heat, light and humidity, which can degrade cannabinoids and terpenes.

- Avoid the fridge or freezer – temperature changes cause moisture and trichome damage.

- Keep edibles sealed and labeled – store safely away from children and pets.

- Use within a few months for best flavor and effect.

Small-batch, craft nug is grown in limited quantities with extra care and attention to detail – often by independent cultivators focused on quality, unique strains, and rich terpene profiles rather than mass production.

Live – products made from fresh-frozen flower

Cured – products made from dried flower

A Certificate of Analysis (COA) is an official lab report that shows a cannabis product’s potency, terpene profile, and safety testing results. It confirm the product is free from contaminants and accurately labeled, ensuring quality, transparency, and consumer safety.

All Love Nug products come with a QR code that can be scanned and will take you to that product’s COA results.

Full-spectrum products contain the complete range of cannabinoids, terpenes, and natural compounds from the cannabis plant, working together to create the “entourage effect” for a more balanced and effective experience.

To microdose means to take a very small, controlled amount of cannabis to experience mild effects – like focus relaxation, or creativity – without feeling overly high.

Indoor nug is grown in a fully controlled environment, producing dense, high-quality nug with strong aroma and potency.

Outdoor nug is cultivated under natural sunlight, often resulting in larger yields and more earth, sun-grown flavor.

Greenhouse nug combines both methods – using natural light with climate control for a balanced mix of quality and sustainability.
