Strain FAQ
Are there specific nutrients that enhance pest resistance in cannabis plants?
Yes, nutrients like silica can strengthen plant cell walls, making them tougher for pests to penetrate. Additionally, balanced feeding with essential nutrients ensures overall plant health, which is critical for maintaining natural pest defenses.
Can the same woodsy strain smell different based on its environment?
Genetics, environmental conditions, and curing can all reportedly affect a cannabis strain's aroma, including woodsy notes. A strain grown in one environment may have subtle terpene differences from another.
Why are some cannabis strains purple?
These strains are purple because of anthocyanins, antioxidants found in blueberries and other purple plants. These molecules change colour from red to purple to blue depending on plant pH, giving each strain its own special colour palette.
