Sagans Star Cannabis Seeds

Why do some cannabis strains taste or smell metallic?

The metallic taste or aroma in some cannabis strains derives from a specific blend of myrcene, pinene, and caryophyllene. A unique blend of terpenes creates that harsh, metallic aroma.

What are some significant indica terpenes and their effects?

Indica strains can have terpenes like myrcene, which is is said to be a sedative, and linalool, which is said to calm. These create the "couch-lock" effect, making indica strains most desired for deep relaxation.

Do high-yielding strains resist pests and diseases?

On the one hand it is known that their increased biomass makes them vulnerable to pests and illnesses. However, on the other hand, breeding has enhanced their genetic resistance. New strains are being created all the time that promise high yields as well as good disease and pest resistance.

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.

How can cannabis enthusiasts learn from regular seeds?

Regular seeds are a gateway to the production of new and exciting strains. They can also show valuable information on cannabis' life cycle and genetics and how to recognise and manage both male and female plants.
