Terpenes (98) Vitamins (1) Cannabis also produces numerous volatile sulfur compounds that contribute to the plant's skunk-like aroma, with Prenylthiol (3-methyl-2-butene-1-thiol) identified as the primary odorant. [15] These compounds are found in much lower concentrations than the major terpenes and sesquiterpenes.
All known strains of Cannabis are wind-pollinated [16] and the fruit is an achene. [17] Most strains of Cannabis are short day plants, [16] with the possible exception of C. sativa subsp. sativa var. spontanea (= C. ruderalis), which is commonly described as "auto-flowering" and may be day-neutral.
The lists of cultivars in the table below are indices of plant cultivars, varieties, and strains. A cultivar is a plant that is selected for desirable characteristics that can be maintained by propagation. The plants listed may be ornamental, medicinal, and/or edible. Several of them bear edible fruit.
Traditional heirloom strains of cannabis and contemporary hybrid varieties vary broadly because terpenes in the essential oils of the flowers, which give the buds their fragrance, and the ratio of cannabinoids, the more than 100 different therapeutically-active compounds, are infinitely variable.
Monoterpenes myrcene and sesquiterpenes β-caryophyllene (binds to the human CB2 cannabinoids receptor) and α-humulene are the most common terpene compounds, and are present in most varieties of cannabis strains. The lack of exact standards makes it sometimes difficult for scientists to classify new terpenes.
Super Lemon Haze is a sativa-dominant [3] [4] cannabis strain (also referred to as a "cultivar") in the haze family of strains. It was originally bred by Franco Loja from the Netherlands-based Green House Seed Co. [5] as a cross between two other strains: Lemon Skunk and Super Silver Haze.
Industry trade name for indica-dominant hybrid strain, a mix of Blueberry and Sour Diesel strains, its name is also a combination of theirs. [71] Blue Dream: Industry trade name for sativa-dominant hybrid strain. [59] Blue Goo Industry trade name for sativa-dominant hybrid strain, a mix of Blue Dream and Agoo, a combination of which gives it ...
While sometimes used interchangeably with "terpenes", terpenoids contain additional functional groups, usually containing oxygen. [1] When combined with the hydrocarbon terpenes, terpenoids comprise about 80,000 compounds. [2] They are the largest class of plant secondary metabolites, representing about 60% of known natural products. [3]
