CBD flowers Switzerland – the complete range from Swiss cultivation

CBD flowers are the dried, cured and trimmed flower heads of female hemp plants (Cannabis sativa) with a high cannabidiol content and a THC content below 1 %. This category brings together HempJoy's entire flower range in one place: indoor premium, greenhouse qualities, Cali strains, trim and bulk packs – from Swiss production, declared by strain and with a batch-specific laboratory report.

The CBD flowers you will find at HempJoy

The range is organised by growing method, quantity and product form. That gets you to the right selection faster, without having to click through every single strain:

Indoor, greenhouse and outdoor compared directly

The growing method often influences flower structure, aroma intensity and price more strongly than the strain itself. The overview below sets out the differences:
Growing method Light source Flower structure Typical aroma Price level
Indoor Artificial light only, fully climate controlled Very dense, compact, heavily covered in trichomes Intense and clearly defined High
Greenhouse Sunlight with climate control Medium to dense Pronounced, a little softer Medium
Outdoor Pure sunlight in the open field Looser, more coarsely grown Earthy, varying with the season Affordable
Trim A by-product of trimming Leaf material with some flower Milder Very affordable

Terpenes: where the smell and taste of the flowers come from

Terpenes are the aromatic compounds of the hemp plant and the reason a strain smells fruity, earthy or citrus-like. They are listed in the laboratory report for many batches and are a good guide when choosing a strain:
Terpene Typical aroma Strains with this profile
Myrcene Earthy, herbal, musky Granddaddy Purple, Bubba Kush
Limonene Citrus, fresh, zesty Super Lemon Haze, Tangerine Dream
Caryophyllene Peppery, spicy, woody Gorilla Glue, Sour Diesel
Pinene Pine, resinous, fresh Jack Herer, Super Amnesia Haze
Linalool Floral, lavender-like Purple Haze, Wedding Cake
Terpinolene Fruity and sweet, slightly floral Zkittlez, Runtz

How to recognise good CBD flowers

Quality comes down to a few things you can check for yourself. These six points help when comparing suppliers:
  • Trichome coverage – a visibly resinous, glistening surface rather than dull, dusty flowers
  • Clean trimming – little leaf left, an even flower shape, hardly any stem
  • Residual moisture – the flower gives slightly and does not crumble, and the stem snaps when bent
  • Aroma intensity – a clear smell typical of the strain speaks for fresh goods
  • A batch-specific laboratory report – a certificate of analysis (COA) for exactly the batch delivered, not for the strain in general
  • Complete declaration – strain, growing method, cannabinoid values and product category clearly stated

How to read the laboratory report (COA)

A certificate of analysis usually reports the cannabinoids in two forms: as the acid form (CBDA, THCA) and as the activated form (CBD, THC). The meaningful figure is the total CBD or total THC, in which the acid form is counted with a factor of 0,877. For Swiss marketability the total THC value is what matters – it must be below 1 %. Reputable laboratory reports also include a test for pesticides, heavy metals and microbiological contamination as well as the batch number and the test date.

Quantities, scaled prices and bulk packs

All strains are available in scaled quantities – from small amounts for comparing strains up to bulk packs by the kilo. The price per gram falls as the quantity rises, which is why larger units are considerably more worthwhile for a strain you buy regularly. The current scales are shown directly on the product page in the quantity selector.

Storing CBD flowers properly

Light, heat, oxygen and moisture break down cannabinoids and terpenes over time. It is best to keep flowers airtight in a dark glass container at about 15 to 20 °C and around 55 to 62 % relative humidity. Plastic bags, in which resin sticks to the sides, are unsuitable, as is the fridge, where condensation can form. Stored properly, aroma and structure stay stable for many months.

Legal status and declaration in Switzerland

CBD flowers with a total THC content below 1 % have been freely available in Switzerland since 2011 and are declared and sold at HempJoy as a tobacco substitute. They are supplied only to people aged 18 and over. The product details serve solely to describe the plant substances contained; no recommendation for use, consumption or ingestion is associated with them. Note also that other limits apply abroad – in many EU states the threshold is 0,2 to 0,3 % THC. Taking the product across the border can therefore have legal consequences.

Frequently asked questions about CBD flowers

What is the difference between CBD flowers and CBD oil?

CBD flowers are unprocessed plant material with a complete cannabinoid and terpene profile. CBD oil is an extract in which the compounds are dissolved out of the plant and dosed in standardised form in a carrier oil.

Are CBD flowers and hemp flowers the same thing?

The terms are used more or less interchangeably in the trade. „Hemp flowers“ is the broader botanical term, while „CBD flowers“ refers specifically to strains bred for a high cannabidiol content at a very low THC content.

What does total CBD mean in the laboratory report?

Total CBD combines the already activated CBD and the acid form CBDA, with CBDA converted using a factor of 0,877. This figure is more meaningful than the plain CBD value when comparing strains.

How do Swiss and EU flowers differ?

In Switzerland the permitted THC limit is below 1 %, whereas across much of the EU it is 0,2 to 0,3 %. Swiss flowers may therefore have a fuller cannabinoid profile. You will find the range for the European market under hemp flowers EU.

What is CBD trim?

Trim is the material left over when the flowers are cut back – small pieces of flower and resinous leaves. Trim is considerably cheaper than whole flowers and is often used as a raw material.

How long do CBD flowers keep?

Stored airtight, dark and cool, aroma and cannabinoid profile usually stay largely stable for six to twelve months. After that the terpenes in particular, and with them the intensity of the aroma, decline noticeably.

Why do flowers of the same strain look different?

CBD flowers are a natural product. Harvest time, light conditions and position on the plant lead to differences in colour, size and density – even within the same genetics. The binding values are in the batch-specific laboratory report.

Are CBD flowers shipped discreetly?

Yes. All orders are shipped in neutral, discreet packaging. From the outside neither the contents nor the sender is identifiable as a CBD shop.

What age do I have to be to order CBD flowers?

They are supplied only to people aged 18 and over. By placing an order you confirm that you have reached this minimum age.

Which strain is good for a first comparison?

For comparing strains, small amounts of several aroma directions work well – a citrus-forward, a sweet and fruity, and an earthy genetic, say. The bestseller category shows which strains are ordered most often.
