Terpenes & Cannabinoids
While specific lab data is not universally published, the aromatic profile suggests a terpene composition likely including limonene, terpinolene, and caryophyllene, contributing to its citrus, herbal, and peppery notes. Myrcene, pinene, and ocimene may also be present, adding complexity. THC content typically ranges from 18-22%, with CBD levels below 1%.
Growing
