Strain FAQ
What role did landrace strain genetics play in North American and Canadian strain development?
True landrace strains are rare in North America and Canada, although landrace genetics from around the world have helped generate many popular strains. These genetics have introduced new traits and increased genetic diversity, altering cannabis development forever!
How does genetics affect Earthy tasting strains' flavour?
A strain's terpene profile and flavour depend on genetics. Indica strains have a more earthy flavour, however this can vary based on the strain's genetic background and hybridization.
How do strains suitable for the outdoors vary phenotypically?
Legal growers report that growing the same strain outdoors can produce startling differences in potency, flavour, and growth. Cannabis is said to be very flexible, with its features finely modified by its growth environment.
Do 12/12 photoperiod strains have an edge in terpene profiles?
Sometimes, a little stress goes a long way, especially when it comes to pumping up the terpenes in 12/12 photoperiod strains. The stringent light schedule can stress the plants just enough to kick their flavor and aroma profile up a notch!
Why do strains finish at the Beginning of October?
These genetically engineered strains flower earlier to prevent late fall cold and shorter days. Northern legal producers use it to ensure their plants finish their cycle in time to avoid seasonal environmental issues.
