Cannabis Terpene Testing - The Simple Explanation
There have been over 100 different terpenes discovered so far and it seems every strain has a unique composition of them. Terpenes are produced inside structures called glandular trichomes, which also produce cannabinoids. These compounds are found in almost every plant and are responsible for the pleasant aromas that can be found in cannabis. The different terpene compositions in each strain are what give unique flavors, aromas, and colors to the cannabis plant. Environmental conditions such as the climate, fertilizer used, soil type, and the age of the plant can play a huge role in terpene development. For example, prior to aging, terpenes are mostly found in high concentrations in unfertilized female plants.
