Weed sun rocks are not a type of cannabis strain per se. They are marijuana buds with high THC content dipped into cannabis concentrate. The top-shelf cannabis buds and extracts are used to make weed sun rocks. If you plan to make your weed sun rocks at home, you must consider what concentrates are and how to pick the most potent ones. On the other side, moon rocks or buds are dipped into the hash oil and then rolled in kief. Consuming one bong rip of these potent and drenched buds will give you a lifetime of an experience like no other.
Moon Rocks Vs. Sun Rocks
Before understanding and knowing about weed sun rocks, you should know what goes behind the making of moon rocks and who can try them. Moon rocks are like any other buds at the start. Moon rocks are grown outdoors or indoors of a place. The buds are then harvested, trimmed and cured. The dried nugs are then coated with a layer of hash oil or cannabis distillate which helps in saturating the bud. It is then rolled in kief.
The result is an opaque sticky flower which has a THC level between 50% and 60%. The quality of moon rocks can differ greatly. There is a thick coating which makes it impossible to judge the quality of the flower used. There are several horror stories of cracking into a moon rock and finding the dry and brown bud inside.
What Are Sun Rocks?
Sun rocks have potent effects, high THC and a combination of cannabis extracts making them a top-notch option for elite smokers. They are not very different from moon rocks on the surface. Moon rocks can compromise bud, hash oil and kief from any strain and of any quality. It can help in anticipating terpene flavours and also have high effects later. The components of sun rocks include top-shelf buds, flavourful extracts, and pure and strong kief. The infamous myrcene-heavy OG Kush is the most common strain you will find as sun rocks.
On the other hand, moon rocks are known to have thick and opaque textures because of the hash oil used on them. This way you will be unable to tell the bud quality until you purchase one and figure it out yourself. Sun rocks switch out low-quality hash oil which is created through extracting trim and shaking of top-shelf concentrate from nugs of the same strain.
The resin trichome-rich and packed with more flavour into each hit than typical hash oil makes it best to consume. The oil purity helps the extract turn out to be clearer. It in advance helps consumers to see the bud through dusting of kied. The elements that are present in it are not only for you to experience the taste but they also contribute to the high potency of sun rocks. Moon rocks usually have 60% THC but the weed sun rocks have over 80% THC levels present in them.
How to Consume Sun Rocks?
There are many ways to consume sun rocks. Some of them are:
Glass: It is usually recommended to use glass to smoke both moon and sun rocks either through a bong or a pipe. You can add them into a joint or blunt but it can make its worth messier. However, you can skip the grinder on these because of the distillate coating. You can try to cut up the sun rocks into small chunks with a utility knife or using a razor blade.
Layer in a bowl: When you add pieces of regular ground flowers into a bowl, you don’t have to add them right on the top. Instead, you can try to mix or layer them with other flowers to help the bowl burn evenly.
Use hemp wick: When you plan on smoking weed sun rocks, try to get them broken up in as many pieces as possible to avoid wasting time. It might get difficult to burn the plant matter when there are bigger nugs present in them. To get the most from those flavours you can opt for a hemp wick instead of a butane lighter to avoid scorching the product. This way you can experience the full flavour of it and enjoy the highness.
Use a pair of scissors instead of a grinder: Try to put sun rocks in a grinder as it will gum up the gears. You can use a pair of scissors or a sharp knife to break the sun rocks for careful and efficient consumption of the weed sun rocks.
Start low and go slow: Sun rocks have higher levels of THC which makes them much more potent than the regular flower and moon rocks. Make sure to exercise caution and take time between puffs to assess how your high is progressing before consuming more. Ensure to start low and go slow at the start to enjoy the full benefits of it.
How to Make Sun Rocks?
Making sun rocks is simpler as long as you use high-quality ingredients of the same strain. Here is a list of materials that should be used to make premium quality weed sun rocks.
- Top-shelf cannabis buds
- Cannabis concentrate (BHO or CO2 oil)
- Kief (the powdery, trichome-rich residue at the bottom of your grinder)
- Tongs or tweezers
- A dropper or small brush for oiling
- Heat source such as lighter.
- A tray or clean surface for drying
Instructions for Making Weed Sun Rocks
Step 1: Prepare oil: The process starts with preparing the oil that will be used to coat the weed sun rocks. If your cannabis is too thick, you just have to gently heat it to make it into a liquid consistency. It can be done by placing the concentrate container in a warm water bath or using a lighter to warm the outside portion of it. Make sure to not overheat to reduce the terpene flavour of the weed sun rocks.
Step 2: Apply oil: Use a brush or with the help of a dropper, apply the cannabis concentrate onto the buds. Make sure to evenly coat it and avoid saturating the bud too much. Make sure to aim to cover the bud without overly drenching it.
Step 3: Allow the oil to dry: Allow the coated buds to dry for a few minutes so that the concentrate can become a bit tacky. This will help in better and more efficient consumption.
Step 4: Roll nugs in kief: Use a pair of tongs or tweezers to gently roll the oil-coated bud in kief. Try avoiding a heavy coating of kief. Even dusting the kief can allow some buds and oil to show through.
Step 5: Dry: Let the finished sun rocks dry on a tray or clean surface in a dark or cool place. It can take a few hours to dry up completely.
Step 6: Store: Once the product is completely dried out, store the sun rocks in an airtight container to maintain their potency and freshness.
