Spade-shaped nugs

Spade-shaped nugs in cannabis cultivation refer to buds that have a distinctive shape resembling the head of a spade, like the playing card symbol. These nugs are generally larger and more elongated than round or popcorn-shaped buds. The spade shape is often a result of the way the buds develop during the flowering phase, influenced by the plant’s genetics and how the branches grow and stretch. Spade-shaped nugs are often found in certain indica and hybrid strains. They offer an appealing appearance and tend to have a high concentration of trichomes, where the valuable cannabinoids and terpenes are produced. Cultivating spade-shaped nugs requires attention to proper light exposure, training the branches for even growth, and providing adequate space between plants to allow for healthy development. The presence of spade-shaped nugs is an indication of a successful and rewarding cannabis cultivation process, yielding buds with excellent potency and visual appeal.
