Top 10 THCa Strains You Can Buy Online from Perfect Plant

By J Gordon Curtis

THCa flower has changed the legal cannabis game and brought a phenomenal alternative form of THC to restrictive states like ours. Perfect Plant offers a wide selection of THCa strains online and in our shops.

While THCa is non-intoxicating, heat  —  like the heat from, say, a lighter  —  rapidly converts the molecule into good old delta-9 THC. As a result, the product has a lot of similarities with other illegal options and many are switching to the legal alternative.

Whatever you look for in a strain, we’ve likely got a great option for you somewhere on our shelves. If you, like me, find it hard to choose with so many options, we’re here to help make the decision easier.

Here’s where I rank the top 10 strains sold by Perfect Plant:

Breakdown of the Top 10 THCa Strains

#1. Sour Garlic Cake  —  Slightly Sativa-Leaning Hybrid

This strain has everything it takes to become your new daily driver:

• High THCa content
• Delightful flavor and aroma
• Solid, hybrid effect leaning towards sativa

My favorite times to reach for Sour Garlic Cake are when I want to get through the mid-afternoon slump in style or as a pick-me-up between a hard day’s work and a making delicious dinner.

Flavor	Heavy lemon flavor with hints of garlic and a peppery finish
Effect	Relaxing with a slight elevation in mood and energy.

#2. Pineapple Express  —  Sativa-Dominant Hybrid

We know the “number hunters” are going to come after us for this one but only high THCa content does not a delightful strain make. This flower has a delightful mix of terpenes which contribute to an elevated and energized effect.

Our Pineapple Express THCa strain feels like drinking a refreshing glass of juice in the morning  —  which is when I prefer to smoke it. I’m salivating over here just talking about it.

THCa Content	18.69%
Terpene Profile	Myrcene, caryophyllene, and pinene
Aroma	Sweetly sour like a lemon gummy with just the right level of tartness. Pine meets lavender meets pepper.
Flavor	Deliciously juicy flavor. Like a delicious edible, you’ll have to stop yourself from taking more than you meant to.
Effect	Energizing and uplifting. Cerebral.

#3. White Bubblegum Gelato  —  Indica-Dominant Hybrid

With its heavy-hitting THCa content and terpene profile, this strain is great for nighttime and relaxing after a tightly-wound day. If you’re looking for daytime smoke, this probably isn’t the right call.

This earthy flower is one-of-a-kind on our shelves and in the market. It currently has the highest level of THCa of our offerings and it’s a great addition to the roster.

THCa Content	28%
Terpene Profile	Myrcene, pinene, and caryophyllene
Aroma	Cherry aroma with a hint of a fresh pine forest. Slightly sour yet invigorating
Flavor	Sweet and earthy with a spicy after-flavor.

#4. Lemonade  —  Sativa

Our Lemonade THCa flower is a pure sativa with fantastic energizing effects. Both the flavor and aroma of the terpene profile and the delightful effects it creates make it a great way to get over the lingering alarm-clock anxiety in the morning.

Wake and bake or smoke it throughout the day  —  however you enjoy your coffee, really. This one will get you through to 5 pm and then beyond if you want it to.

THCa Content	23.6%
Terpene Profile	Limonene and caryophyllene
Aroma	A sweet lemon aroma that will remind you of dusting tables with Pledge
Flavor	Almost entirely sweet with a hint of spice at the end. Slightly sour taste.

#5. Purple Punch  —  Indica

One of the most historically beloved Indica-heavy strains to hit the market: Purple Punch quickly became my favorite nighttime smoke. It has a delightfully sweet flavor like dessert after dinner.

On days off or times when I don’t have a lot on my to-do list, I’ll smoke a bowl of Purple Punch and let the couch lock take me into relaxation. Like dessert after dinner, you’ll be ready for bed after smoking this flower.

THCa Content	25.84%
Terpene Profile	Limonene, myrcene, and caryophyllene
Aroma	Hits you with the smell of grape soda, and fresh berries with a slightly sour finish
Flavor	Hints of lavender remove tartness from the dominant lemon flavor with a satisfying, peppery finish
Effect	Great for relaxation, sleep, and easing the mind

#6. Green Crack  —  Sativa-Dominant Hybrid

Living up to the name, Green Crack has a cerebral effect that will energize and excite anyone who’s looking for a pick-me-up. This flower is a perfect morning smoke or mid-day slump-buster to reset before diving back in.

While it may sound unappealing, the flavor and aroma of this flower are fruity and delicious. If you want to see our full write-up on this strain, you can check out our article devoted exclusively to Green Crack.

Aroma	Smells like an underripe mango with hints of black pepper
Flavor	Earthy yet fruity flavor with a citric aftertaste of slightly sour mango
Effect	Great for anyone seeking cerebral, daytime highs with an uplifting mood.

#7. Thin Mints  —  Hybrid

Minty sweet like the name suggests, Thin Mints are another all-star hitter when it comes to cannabis strains. Its mixture of terpenes creates an even-keeled effect perfect for daytime or nighttime use. 

Like the cookies they get their name from, there’s no bad time to reach for some.

THCa Content	17.84%
Terpene Profile	Caryophyllene, limonene, and humulene
Aroma	This spicy aroma will remind you of fresh-picked spearmint and feels just as invigorating
Flavor	Minty sweet  —  like the cookie its name comes from  —  with herbal undertones and finish.
Effect	Even-balanced: energizing and relaxing but not to the point of paranoia couch lock

#8. White Widow  —  Hybrid

White Widow feels  —  and smells  —  like a walk through the woods in the middle of a long day. Mid-afternoon flowers like this offer a non-overpowering euphoric effect like you might expect from a pure sativa.

White Widow is a unique strain with a lot to get excited about. As a balanced hybrid, there isn’t much of a bad time to reach for this strain.

THCa Content	19.7%
Terpene Profile	Myrcene, caryophyllene, and pinene
Aroma	Distinctly earthy smell with a slight sweetness to it. It’ll remind you of leaving the city and stepping out into the woods
Flavor	Earthy flavor, slightly spicy with a citric aftertaste
Effect	Good for euphoria and a slight boost in energy along with relaxation and creativity.

#9. Louis the 13th  —  Indica

So-named for being among the “royal” caliber of strains, Louis the 13th is a heavy nighttime smoke for anyone having trouble falling or staying asleep. I might even start keeping an emergency stash ground next to my bed for times when I wake up in the middle of the night and can’t fall asleep.

Don’t smoke this if you’ve got plans or anyone depending on you. This is a before-bed smoke.

THCa Content	22.907%
Terpene Profile	Myrcene, limonene, and caryophyllene
Aroma	Smells like a forest after a long rain. Pleasant with a citric finish
Flavor	Skunky, earthy flavor with hints of pine and black pepper
Effect	Deep relaxation effect, couch-lock, and appetite-induction

#10. Gary Payton  —  Sativa

Former basketball player Gary Payton had such a good defense, he earned the nickname “the glove,” catching everything trying to pass him. Breeders of this strain named it after him for the feeling it gives of a soft glove hugging your whole body.

Cerebral and delightful, Gary Payton is a powerhouse option for anyone who enjoys a sativa strain for the ages.

THCa Content	24.8%
Terpene Profile	Caryophyllene, limonene, and pinene
Aroma	Spicy, skunky aroma breaks through a lemony undercurrent
Flavor	Earthy flavor with a spicy finish and pleasant aftertaste
Effect	Elevated mood and cerebral effect with an energizing feel
