Question 1

What does "full spectrum" mean?

Accepted Answer

That the extract preserves the plant's complete chemical profile — cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids together — instead of isolating one compound. A quality FSE carries hundreds of compounds; a distillate carries fewer than twenty.

Question 2

What's the difference between HTFSE and HCFSE?

Accepted Answer

Two fractions of the same extract. HTFSE is the high-terpene liquid — saucy, aromatic, often 13–40% terpenes. HCFSE is the high-cannabinoid crystalline fraction — sugar and diamond textures rich in THCa. Many jars combine both.

Question 3

Is FSE stronger than distillate?

Accepted Answer

On the raw THC number, usually not — distillate runs 85–95%. But FSE keeps the strain's full terpene and cannabinoid profile that distillation strips away, and many users find the fuller profile a richer experience than the higher number alone.

Question 4

Is FSE the same as live resin?

Accepted Answer

Close cousins. Most premium FSE is made from fresh-frozen flower, just like live resin. "Live resin" names the input (fresh-frozen plant); "full spectrum" names the output (a complete, unstripped profile). A jar can honestly be both.

Question 5

Why does FSE taste more like the actual strain?

Accepted Answer

Because nothing was removed. The terpenes and minor compounds that give a strain its specific smell and taste survive the gentle extraction, so the jar carries the flower's real fingerprint instead of a reconstructed flavour.

Question 6

What is diamonds and sauce?

Accepted Answer

The combined presentation of FSE's two fractions — THCa crystals (the HCFSE side) sitting in high-terpene sauce (the HTFSE side). See our THCA diamonds page for the full breakdown of that format.

Question 7

How should I dab FSE?

Accepted Answer

Low temperature, always — the terpene profile is the whole point, and high heat burns it off instantly. If the jar has separated, take a little crystal and a little sauce per dab. Store airtight, cool, and dark.

Question 8

How are FSE orders delivered?

Accepted Answer

All orders ship in Stealth Packaging across Canada by tracked courier — discreet, unmarked outer packaging by default. Details live on our shipping policy page; more questions on our FAQ. Cannabis is sold to adults 19 and older in BC.
