Fact Checked by Doctor NameIn the world of cannabis concentrates, you may hear the term “Nug Run” used to describe the starting material used in the extraction process.
Nug run refers to concentrates that have been made using only the most premium part of the marijuana plant – the crystalline trichome-covered buds.
What is a Nug Run?
Table of Contents
A nug run is a slang term for a batch of cannabis concentrate that has been extracted using only the buds (or “nuggets”) from female marijuana plants.
This differs from runs that extract from less optimal material like trim leaves, stems and stalks.
Nug run concentrates highlight the most desirable components from the plant, especially flavorful and aromatic terpenes found within the trichome heads.
Premium bud produces premium extracts.
Why Nug Runs, and Produce Quality Concentrates?
- More trichomes – Female buds contain the highest density of trichome resin glands.
- Better terpenes – Buds hold the most powerful aromatic terpene profiles.
- Higher cannabinoids – Bud material has the highest levels of therapeutic THC, CBD, etc.
- Smoother flavor – Buds produce a cleaner-tasting aroma and smoke.
- Distinct strains – Buds maintain the individual strain characteristics.
Nug run concentrates provide the full flavor, aroma, and therapeutic essence of the strain’s buds in an intensely concentrated form.
Connoisseurs often prefer nug runs over trim runs due to their superior terpene quality and purity.
For the finest hash, shatter, wax, or any other cannabis extract, always look for concentrates proudly advertised as “nug runs.”
