Three questions that turn a strain name into a decision you can defend.
Ask for the batch COA.
The certificate of analysis is the lab sheet for the batch in front of you. Ask to see it before you decide.
Ask total THC on this batch.
Compare it against the 14 to 21 percent range on this page. A number well above it means a stronger start than you may expect.
Ask which terpenes tested highest.
This cultivar usually leads with Myrcene. If the batch leads with something else, expect it to feel different.
