GROW TO NEW HEIGHTS
We are dedicated to advancing modern cannabis genetics. A high-quality cannabis strain exhibits a complex interplay of characteristics such as flavor, potency, the entourage effect, medicinal value, and yield. Here’s how each component contributes to the overall quality:
​
FLAVOR
Flavor is a key aspect of the cannabis experience. It is primarily determined by the plant's terpene profile. Terpenes are aromatic compounds found in many plants, including cannabis. Each strain has a unique terpene composition that can produce flavors and aromas ranging from earthy, citrus, and berry, to pine and skunk. Flavor not only enhances enjoyment but can also influence the therapeutic aspects of the strain.
POTENCY
Potency refers to the concentration of cannabinoids, such as THC and CBD, in cannabis. THC is known for its psychoactive effects, while CBD is non-psychoactive and may offer calming effects. The ratio of these cannabinoids, along with others like CBN and CBG, determines the strength and type of the cannabis' effects.
ENTOURAGE EFFECT
The entourage effect is a theory that all compounds in cannabis work together, and when taken together, they produce a better effect than when taken alone. This synergy includes cannabinoids, terpenes, and other phytochemicals that all contribute to the unique effects of each cannabis strain. It’s believed that the entourage effect can enhance the therapeutic benefits of cannabis.
MEDICINAL VALUE
Cannabis genetics play a crucial role in the medicinal value of a strain. Different genetic profiles can be bred to target specific medical conditions. For instance, some strains may be bred to alleviate pain without a strong psychoactive effect, making them suitable for medical use throughout the day.
YIELD
Yield is important for both growers and consumers, as it refers to the amount of usable cannabis flower produced by the plant. Genetics determine a plant’s potential yield, but environmental factors and growing techniques also play a significant role. Strains that are genetically predisposed to produce larger yields are particularly valued in commercial cultivation.
TERPENES AND CANNABIS GENETICS
Terpenes are not only responsible for the flavor and aroma of cannabis but also contribute to its effects. Myrcene, for example, is a terpene that can produce relaxing effects, while limonene is associated with an uplifting feeling. By understanding terpenes, cultivators can breed strains with desired flavor profiles and therapeutic benefits. To learn more about terpenes, click here.
