Dried nugs are then coated with hash oil or cannabis distillate, saturating the bud, and then rolled in kief. The result is an opaque, sticky flower that typically tests between 50-60% THC.<\/p>\n<p>The quality of moon rocks can vary greatly. With their thick coating, it\u2019s nearly impossible to judge the quality of the flower used. There are plenty of horror stories of cracking into a moon rock and finding dry, brown bud inside.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leafly.com\/news\/cannabis-101\/what-are-moon-rocks-and-how-do-you-smoke-them\" class=\"wp-block-leafly-blocks-leafly-single-inline-block leafly-inline-related-story\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"border border-deep-green-alt border-l-0 border-r-0 my-xl p-md font-bold\">\n<p>Related<\/p>\n<p>What are Moon Rocks and how do you smoke them?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/a> <\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-what-are-sun-rocks\">What are sun rocks?<\/h2>\n<p>Sun rocks take the benefits of moon rocks\u2014potent effects, high THC, and a combination of cannabis extracts\u2014and turn them up a notch.<\/p>\n<p>They aren\u2019t so different from moon rocks on the surface. Moon rocks can comprise bud, hash oil, and kief from any strain and of any quality, so anticipating terpene flavors and effects can be tough.<\/p>\n<p>With sun rocks, all components\u2014top-shelf buds, pure, flavorful extracts, and strong kief\u2014are derived from the same strain. Fan-favorite, myrcene-heavy <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leafly.com\/strains\/og-kush\">OG Kush<\/a> is the most common strain you\u2019ll find as sun rocks.<\/p>\n<p>Because of the thick, opaque hash oil used in moon rocks, there\u2019s no telling if the bud is quality until you purchase one and break into it yourself. Sun rocks switch out low-quality hash oil\u2014often created through extracting trim and shake\u2014for a top-shelf concentrate extracted from nugs of the same strain.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The resulting resin is trichome-rich, packing more flavor into each hit than typical hash oil. Plus, the purity of the oil makes the extract clearer, allowing consumers to see the bud, even through the dusting of kief.<\/p>\n<p>These upgraded elements aren\u2019t just for taste; they also contribute to the higher potency of sun rocks. Moon rocks typically reach up to 60% THC at their most potent, but sun rocks can test over 80% THC.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leafly.com\/news\/strains-products\/i-hate-moon-rocks\" class=\"wp-block-leafly-blocks-leafly-single-inline-block leafly-inline-related-story\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"border border-deep-green-alt border-l-0 border-r-0 my-xl p-md font-bold\">\n<p>Related<\/p>\n<p>I hate moon rocks<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/a> <\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-how-to-consume-sun-rocks\">How to consume sun rocks<\/h2>\n<h3 id=\"h-glass\">Glass<\/h3>\n<p>Most consumers recommend using glass to smoke both sun rocks and moon rocks, either a pipe or a bong. Trying to add them to a joint or blunt can be messier than it\u2019s worth, and you\u2019ll want to skip the grinder on these because of the distillate coating. Instead, try cutting up sun rocks into small chunks with a utility knife or razor blade.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"h-layer-in-a-bowl\">Layer in a bowl<\/h3>\n<p>When adding pieces to regular ground flower in a bowl, don\u2019t add them right on top. Instead, try to mix or layer them with other flower so the bowl burns evenly.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"h-use-hemp-wick\">Use hemp wick<\/h3>\n<p>When smoking a bowl of only sun rocks, try to get them broken up as small as possible to avoid wasting time and plant matter trying to light bigger nugs. And, to get the most from those flavor-forward elements, opt for a hemp wick instead of a regular butane lighter to avoid scorching the product and to allow its full flavor to come out.<\/p>\n<div id=\"author-box\" class=\"p-lg my-xxl bg-white rounded border border-light-grey elevation-low\">\n<div class=\"mb-lg\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/thcinct.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/what-are-weed-sun-rocks.jpg\" alt=\"Grace Griffin's Bio Image\" class=\"lazyload inline-block mr-md rounded-full border border-light-grey\"> <\/p>\n<p>Grace Griffin<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"text-sm\">Grace Griffin is a journalist based in Massachusetts with recent work in The Boston Globe, Adolescent US, and The Austin-American Statesman.
