TERPENES AND
THEIR PRODUCTION

Terpenes are naturally occurring compounds that originate from the resin glands of female cannabis plants, called trichomes. These sticky, translucent glands primarily cover the surface of cannabis buds, with smaller amounts present on leaves and stems. These trichomes serve as resin factories, generating a wealth of terpenes that not only shape cannabis’s distinctive aroma but also contribute to its pigmentation and flavor.

These trichomes serve as resin factories, generating a wealth of terpenes that not only shape cannabis's distinctive aroma but also contribute to its pigmentation and flavor.

Vital Role in Growth and Defense

Terpenes are integral to the growth and survival of cannabis. Some terpenes, like geraniol, work as natural repellents against insects and herbivores that might damage the plant. Others, like terpinolene and linalool, attract beneficial insects that assist in pollen distribution.   Furthermore, terpenes help the plant’s immune system by conveying crucial information about the environment, thus triggering immune responses that shield the plant from pathogens and environmental stressors.

Factors Affecting Terpene Production

The amount of terpenes a cannabis plant produces is influenced by several factors, including whether it’s cultivated indoors or outdoors, exposure to light, temperature, nutrient levels, the type of growing medium, and the timing of harvest.

All these variables play a role in determining the terpene profile of a cannabis plant.

Challenges in Terpene Extraction

Due to their volatile nature, many terpenes are lost during standard cannabis extraction processes. As awareness of terpenes’ therapeutic benefits grows, there’s a rising demand for sensitive extraction methods.   Live resin, produced from fresh frozen cannabis plants while maintaining freezing temperatures, is one such method. This approach preserves the full spectrum of terpenes, leading to a more complex aroma and flavor, enhancing the overall cannabis experience.

CANNABIS-DERIVED
TERPENES VS. REGULAR TERPENES

Terpenes play a pivotal role in defining the unique flavor, aroma, and effects of cannabis. However, it's essential to understand the difference between cannabis-derived terpenes and those found in other plants or synthetic sources. Here's a comparison to help clarify their distinctions: 

Cannabis-derived terpenes are preferred by many cannabis enthusiasts for their authentic strain-specific flavors and entourage effects. In contrast, regular terpenes provide some similar benefits at a lower cost but lack the unique characteristics inherent to cannabis strains.   Choosing the right terpene depends on your goals, desired effects, and personal preferences.
