Bloom Meter

How the Bloom Meter works.

The Bloom Meter on each product page is an estimate. This page explains what it is calculated from, how, and what it can and cannot tell you.

Last reviewed October 22, 2026

What it is

Every batch we dispense is tested by a state-licensed laboratory, and the lab's Certificate of Analysis lists that batch's terpenes and cannabinoids. The Bloom Meter turns that chemistry into five petals: Calm, Relaxed, Energetic, Uplifted and Focused. A longer petal means the batch's chemistry leans further toward profiles that research has associated with that word.

What it is not

  • It is not a prediction of how a product will affect you. How cannabis feels depends on the dose, how it is used, your tolerance and your own body, and a lab report captures none of those.
  • It makes no claim about any medical condition, and it does not say a product will help with one.
  • It is not dosing guidance. Your qualified physician determines what is appropriate for you.

How it is calculated

For each batch we take each terpene's share of the batch's total terpenes, give each terpene a weight toward each petal, and add them up. Batches with more terpenes overall count a little more, up to a limit. The batch's total THC and total CBD also shape the petals, and THC can move some of them a long way: a batch with less THC scores higher on Focused, and one with more scores higher on Relaxed and Uplifted. Each petal is then placed on one scale shared by every product we carry, so petals can be compared from product to product. Where a product has two lab reports, the meter uses their average.

If a batch's lab report shows less than 0.5% total terpenes, we do not draw a meter for it: there is not enough terpene data to estimate from.

How strong the evidence is

It is limited, and we would rather say so. Only two controlled studies in people have tested whether terpenes change how cannabis feels. One found that limonene changed some of the ways people rated THC, but only at an amount of limonene that unprocessed cannabis flower is unlikely to contain. The other, testing pinene, found no change. Most of the associations behind the weights come from laboratory and animal studies and from how strains have been described, not from controlled trials in patients. We show the meter because the chemistry is real and measured, and we label it an estimate because the step from chemistry to experience is not established.

Estimated from this batch's lab-tested terpene and cannabinoid profile. It is not a prediction of how you will feel, and it makes no claim about any medical condition: your experience depends on dose, method and tolerance. Ask your qualified physician. Marijuana may have intoxicating effects and may be habit-forming. Do not operate a vehicle or heavy machinery when under the influence of marijuana.
