The Three Terpenes

Caryophyllene

Caryophyllene is the lead terpene, with peppery, warm and body-grounding descriptors and a light earthy spice in the aroma.

Limonene

Limonene is the middle terpene, uplifting and clear-headed, with mint in the aroma.

Humulene

Humulene comes third; its body-grounding, earthy, hoppy descriptors sit next to the cookie dough.

Gelato, Sherbet, Wedding Cake and the OG Kush Parent

Gelato lists sweet berry, vanilla cream and light citrus at 20-25% THC. Sherbet lists sweet citrus sorbet, creamy berry and light floral spice at 18-24%. Wedding Cake is indica-leaning and lists sweet vanilla cake and a peppery exhale at 21-27%. OG Kush is the parent to compare against, with lemon-pine and fuel funk in place of dough and mint.
