Watch

It is a common anxiety trigger at higher amounts, so cautious sizing matters.

A strain name is marketing. The lab sheet is chemistry.

Growers, harvests and even jars from the same harvest test differently. The ranges above describe what this cultivar usually looks like, and the certificate of analysis for your batch is the number that counts.

Dominant terpenes

In the order they usually test highest. Each links to what was actually studied.

Take this to the counter

Three questions that turn a strain name into a decision you can defend.

  1. 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.

  2. Ask total THC on this batch.

    Compare it against the 18 to 25 percent range on this page. A number well above it means a stronger start than you may expect.

  3. Ask which terpenes tested highest.

    This cultivar usually leads with Limonene. If the batch leads with something else, expect it to feel different.

Related cultivars

These share at least one dominant terpene, which usually matters more than the name.
