Strain Types
Indica, Sativa, or Hybrid
The indica/sativa distinction is a starting point, not a rulebook. Terpene profiles and cannabinoid ratios matter more than the label. But understanding the basics helps you communicate what you want.
Indica
Full-body relaxation. Calming, sedating effects ideal for evening use, pain relief, and sleep support. Terpene profiles are typically heavy in myrcene and linalool.
Popular strains: Granddaddy Purple, Northern Lights, Purple Punch
Sativa
Uplifting, cerebral effects. Boosts creativity, focus, and energy, making them better suited for daytime use. Common terpenes include limonene and pinene.
Popular strains: Sour Diesel, Jack Herer, Green Crack
Hybrid
Blends indica and sativa genetics for balanced effects. Some lean indica-dominant, others sativa-dominant. Most modern strains are hybrids.
Popular strains: Blue Dream, Gelato, Wedding Cake
Beyond THC
Terpenes shape your experience
THC percentage is not the only number that matters. Terpenes are aromatic compounds that influence how a strain makes you feel. A 20% THC strain with the right terpene profile can outperform a 28% strain with a flat profile.
Our budtenders can walk you through terpene profiles for every strain we carry. Ask about terpene-forward recommendations if you want to get specific about your experience.
Myrcene
Earthy, musky
Relaxation, sedation
Limonene
Citrus, lemon
Mood elevation, stress relief
Caryophyllene
Peppery, spicy
Anti-inflammatory, calm
Pinene
Pine, herbal
Alertness, memory retention
Linalool

Anxiety relief, sedation
Terpinolene
Fruity, floral

Potency Guide
How strong should your flower be?
Higher THC does not mean better cannabis. It means stronger effects. Choose based on your experience level and what you want from the session.
18-22% THC
Manageable effects, good for building tolerance. Perfect for your first few purchases.
22-26% THC
For regular consumers who know their tolerance. Stronger effects, more pronounced terpene profiles.
26%+ THC
High-potency flower for seasoned consumers. Intense effects and strong flavor. Not for newcomers.
Storage Tips
Keep your flower fresh
- Store in an airtight glass jar, away from light and heat
- Ideal temperature is 60-70F with 55-65% relative humidity
- Never store in plastic bags long-term (static strips trichomes)
- Boveda or Integra humidity packs extend freshness significantly
- Properly stored flower stays fresh for 6-12 months
- If it crumbles to dust or smells like hay, it is past its prime
