Strain FAQ
What products can compete in the Cannabis Cup now?
The competition now includes not just flower but also edibles, extracts, and topicals. The cannabis industry is particular inventive and this has to be reflected in the awards available!
Can feminised cannabis strains create male flowers?
Feminised strains are designed to be nearly always female, yet nature can occasionally throw them curveballs. They may produce male flowers under extreme stress such as irregular light cycles or environmental pressure. This shows that even with thorough genetic selection, other factors are necessary to keep plants on track!
How have Sativa strains evolved to handle humidity?
Thin, extended leaves help sativa plants handle extreme humidity. Sativas are said to be great for producers in moist climates since their sleek leaves have been shown to repel mould and infections.
Do strains listed as suitable for outdoor growth have resistance to pests and diseases?
Being out in the wild, outdoor cannabis strains face a barrage of environmental stressors, from bugs to fluctuating weather. This tough love from Mother Nature prompts them to ramp up their production of terpenes and cannabinoids, which serve as their shield against these threats. It's a fascinating survival strategy that not only makes the plants hardier but is also said to improve the aroma and flavor of the buds!
Are strains which finish at the End of September more sustainable?
Absolutely. These strains are said to need less water and nutrients since they finish faster. Their low light and heat requirements reportedly make them a greener outdoor production option.
