Strain FAQ
Has the main terpene responsible for pine flavour been used elsewhere?
Indeed, it has a long history! Pine needles and alpha-pinene-rich resin have been employed by indigenous cultures for various purposes. I find it amazing that this particular terpene has been used so widely across cultures and time.
How do hybrid strains complicate cannabis genetics?
Hybrids complicate the genetic environment beyond just Indica and Sativa. By crossbreeding numerous generations, hybrids have developed many traits from both parents, creating polyhybrid strains. Genetic variety gives the cannabis family tree many interesting relatives!
Are there any particular challenges with Sativa strains?
Yes, the vigorous growth and tall stature of Sativas can pose a challenge in confined spaces. Techniques such as "Screen of Green" (ScrOG), topping, and LST (Low Stress Training) are often employed to manage their height and promote more horizontal growth, making them more manageable indoors.
