Strain FAQ
What strains are particularly known for their piney flavour?
Jack Herer, Dutch Treat, and Blue Dream are known for their piney fragrance and remarkable effects due to their rich alpha-pinene profile.
Why are strains which finish by mid-September popular for the outdoors?
The ability to harvest by mid-September is said to benefit legal outdoor growers. Beating the first fall frosts is said to be helpful in avoiding crop loss to cold or mould. This timing is reportedly essential for crop quality and quantity without the risks of later-finishing cultivars.
Do indica strains have more CBD?
Indica cultivars are often thought to be CBD-rich, however their cannabinoid makeup varies. Due to their terpene and cannabinoid compositions, they are said to provide a calming, tranquil body buzz.
How are photoperiod cannabis strains different to autoflowering ones?
Here's where things get interesting: auto-flowering strains switch to flowering mode with age, but 12/12 photoperiod strains need a light trigger. This allows legal growers to fine-tune the light schedule, potentially improving yields and quality.
What does hybrid cannabis strain phenotypic variation mean?
Individual plants in a hybrid strain can vary in colour, height, and bud structure. Breeders can improve and stabilise desired traits by selecting certain phenotypes and thereby improve the strain.
