Appearance & Morphology

Bagus THCv typically presents with a sativa-leaning structure, featuring medium-tall plants with long lateral branches and pronounced apical dominance.

This strain is noted for providing a sharp cognitive edge and minimal appetite stimulation, making it suitable for daytime activities and creative pursuits. The experience is generally described as clean and highly functional.

Terpenes & Cannabinoids

Bagus THCv is characterized by its high THCV content, often falling in the mid-to-upper range of typical THCV-rich cultivars. The terpene profile frequently includes terpinolene, beta-caryophyllene, limonene, and ocimene. The total terpene content generally ranges from 1.5% to 2.8%.

Cultivation

Considered an intermediate-difficulty strain to grow, Bagus THCv requires attention to environmental factors to maintain high varin levels. Indoor flowering typically takes 63–70 days, with potential yields of 450–600 g/m². Outdoor cultivation in suitable climates can yield 600–900 g per plant, with plants finishing by early October.
