Strain FAQ
Does environment impact cannabis sweetness?
Environmental circumstances are said to affect a strain's sweetness. Everything from soil quality and nutrient use to light exposure and drying and curing can reportedly affect sweetness-producing terpenes.
How long do indica-dominant strains flower compared to sativas?
The fastest flowering strains are indica-dominant, finishing in 45–60 days. This fast flowering phase helps legal growers get their plants to maturity quickly, reducing the time from seed to harvest.
