Effects
Flavors & aroma
Dominant terpenes
Caryophyllene
Black pepper, spice, woodThe only terpene that also binds cannabinoid receptors; peppery and warming.
Limonene
Bright citrus, lemon, orangeAssociated with uplifted, stress-relieving character.
Myrcene
Earthy, musky, ripe fruitThe most common cannabis terpene; associated with relaxing, heavy 'couch' character.
Grower's notes
Good indoor structure. Moderate feeder. The 'platinum' comes from the extreme trichome coverage — frostier than standard GSC. Responds well to SCROG. Cool temps bring purple.
