The world’s first AI-powered trichome intelligence lab at a music festival. Scan, learn, and unlock the secret language of resin.
At SelassieFest, Smart Buds features 10 digital microscopes connected to large 4K screens. Watch resin glands turn from clear → cloudy → amber. Our budtender-scientists guide you through the ripeness window.
Using machine vision, Smart Buds predicts THC/CBD potential based on trichome density and morphology. Festival-goers can upload their own bud pics (via kiosk) for an instant "bud score".
Interactive touch game: match trichome stages to the perfect harvest window, gain points and win Smart Buds merch (sticker packs, loupes).
Scan a live leaf sample and receive a digital “chemotype profile.” Learn about the relationship between gland size and cannabinoid expression.
"Smart Buds redefines plant observation — using technology to honor the ancient conversation between cultivator and gland. Every trichome tells a story."
