Cannabinoid/Terpene Profile

Cannabinoid/Terpene Profile

Cannabinoid profiling during the growing stage enables the identification of plants that might have unique cannabinoid profiles of interest. These plants can provide growers with differentiated products and a competitive advantage in the market. Performing an analysis of compounds like cannabidiolic acid (CBDA) while a plant is still growing provides useful information for the optimization of growing conditions. Terpene profiling is also important as terpenes are primarily responsible for the taste and smell of cannabis. A terpene profile will provide further data in developing differentiated strains or products with optimum organoleptic qualities.
