Strain FAQ
How will cannabis therapy evolve?
With so many strains and pharmacological characteristics, personalised cannabis treatment has a bright future. Patients and doctors can choose strains that are said to target their ailments, enabling more personalised cannabis therapy.
Does every early-finishing strain have Indica dominance?
Indicas have a shorter flowering period and so are normally involved somehow, however breeders have also created fast-flowering Sativa and hybrid strains. This is very useful as breeders can select from a larger range of potential genetic attributes.
How have North American and Canadian cannabis strains adapted?
North American and Canadian strains have evolved or been intentionally selected to thrive in a wide range of temperatures, from the humid Southeast to the cooler, drier North. Strong plants that can withstand a variety of environmental circumstances are helpful for breeders trying to generate resilient hybrid strains.
Do environmental conditions alter these strains' earthy taste?
Definitely. Soil and environmental factors are all said to affect a strain's flavour, especially earthiness. Terroir describes how soil type and climate affect the taste and aroma of agricultural products.
Has cannabis potency altered over time?
Cannabis, a decade ago, reportedly used to have less than 10% THC across the board. Modern breeding methods have quickly resulted in boosted potency with legal breeders striving to accommodate the desire for stronger and stronger cannabis strains. Where strains with 10% to 19% THC were once the strongest, we are now almost getting into 30% and beyond!
