You’re looking for a good CBD plant? The quality of the thc always matters. When i said that quality doesn’t matter when making distillate, I meant the amount of THC. As long as it’s not old and degraded you can still make distillate. If you have a harvest with low THC you just won’t get as much distillate, if you have a harvest with high THC you will get a lot more distillate but it will be the same quality. They use harvests that pollinate, or have infestation issues, or the nug structure is terrible, or the terps didn’t develop well, or other things like that. They just need THC, that’s not old to make distillate, they don’t need to worry about having an awesome terp profile like they do for BHO. Does that make sense?

For the topicals, it just depends on how they’re making them, and I’m not to familiar with that process. I believe they use distillate but I’m not positive. I doubt they are using top shelf nug to make it though.

If you are looking to grow a CBD high strain you still have to worry about the quality of the crystals because that is where the CBD is located as well as the THC.
