Strain FAQ
Why are landrace strains getting rarer?
Genuine landrace strains are discovered in just a few isolated regions globally. This rarity, along with modern agriculture and cannabis breeding, has made some landrace strains scarce and valuable.
How do disease-resistant strains combat mold and mildew?
A key focus in breeding disease-resistant strains is tackling fungi like botrytis (gray mold) and powd3ery mildew, which are said to be particularly harmful in humid conditions. Strains developed for mold resistance have natural defenses against these pathogens, reducing reliance on chemical fungicides.
What is responsible for the taste's woodsiness?
One of the most common terpenes in cannabis, myrcene, gives the woodsy profile an earthy and musky undertone. It adds complexity to the aroma's base notes.
How did the Cannabis Cup affect cannabis culture?
The Cannabis Cup is a cultural highlight that promotes unity and cannabis love. More than a competition, it's a location where the cannabis community can celebrate its advances and culture.
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.
