The award winning strain Orinoco is named after the powerful South American river. It is a veritable powerhouse of a plant and was awarded best CBD strain of 2017 at the Spannabis Champions Cup.
Characterised by an extremely intense and fruity aroma from its Mango Cheese heritage, Orinoco is full of favour and grows vigorously during the flowering period.
Strain FAQ
Why is flowering time important for phenotypic expression?
Terpenes and cannabinoids, which give plants their flavours and effects, develop during flowering. This time is said to ensure a complete manifestation of the plant's potential by allowing for a richer, more nuanced profile than faster-flowering strains.
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!
Does environmental stress impact cannabis' therapeutic properties?
Cannabis plants can increase cannabinoid and terpene production to combat UV radiation and water shortages. The atmosphere may enhance a plant's medical properties, adding to cannabis' complexity.
What other benefits are high CBD strains said to have besides treating epilepsy, anxiety, and inflammation?
Like the Swiss Army knife of cannabis, high CBD strains reportedly offer several benefits beyond the well-trodden road. Their antibacterial and antifungal properties are being studied for neuroprotection, nicotine desire reduction, and fungal infections.
What role does selective breeding play in greenhouse strain development?
Breeders for greenhouse cultivation obviously select traits that thrive in that environment. They generally select strains with compact growth to fit more plants and early blooming to match the greenhouse's light schedule.
