Strain FAQ
Why do high-yielding cannabis strains yield so much?
Their genetics are the key to this question! These strains combine sativa's tall growth and high biomass with indica's denser bud production. This genetic base is what enables their high production and explains why they generally have a mix of indica and sativa traits.
Is it all just about the High THC content and nothing else?
No! Even though THC is the most commonly known psychoactive element within the cannabis plant, even THC heavyweights don't just have strength. It is said that other cannabinoids and terpenes complement THC to create the strain's particular flavour. Due to their chemical makeup, it is well known that two strains with comparable THC amounts may have quite distinct experiences.
What is responsible for the Anise flavour?
Anethole, a cannabis terpene-like molecule, gives anise plants and cannabis strains their anise taste. Anethole isn't a terpene and doesn't present in cannabis, but its structural similarities can give it an anise flavour.
Can 12/12 photoperiod hybrids flower faster?
Breeders have been working cross-breeding hybrids to meet the 12/12 light schedule and speed up flowering. These optimised hybrids can finish faster than other varieties without compromising yield or potency.
When did feminised cannabis seeds first come about?
In the late 20th century, feminised seeds revolutionised cannabis production. This breakthrough allowed producers to focus on bud-producing females without worrying about unproductive male plants eating up space and resources.
