Strains blend is an extraction process used to create concentrates that mix diverse cannabis strains. It’s typically done by extracting oil from different varieties of marijuana plants, then mixing those oils together into a homogenous concentrate. Strain blends offer the benefits of drawing out both flavor and effects from multiple strains at once, allowing for customizable experiences with each
extract produced. The result is often a richer terpene profile than could otherwise be achieved from any single source strain alone. Additionally, these extracts can effectively allow users to bypass some of the disadvantages associated with creating products in-house - cost savings on energy due to larger batches and improved quality control through automated testing are just some examples. Strains blends are combinations of multiple cannabis plant varieties. The effects and benefits of a particular strain blend depend on the specific combination of strains within it. Each variety will bring something unique to the mix, such as its aroma, taste, terpene profile, cannabinoids content or medicinal properties. Typically, growers aim for an even balance between all elements when creating strain blends in order to produce desirable results. When researching your preferred strain blend be sure to understand exactly what each component variety has been blended with and how this may affect the final experience you have when consuming it. To create a successful strain blend, it is important to consider several variables. Start by selecting two parent strains with complimentary cannabinoid content and aromas - terpenes are the molecules that provide aroma and flavor in cannabis. Then assess their grow environment compatibility – make sure you choose strains adapted to similar environmental conditions for best results. Additionally, be sure to analyze the ratios of THC-A (tetrahydrocannabinolic acid) and CBD-A (cannabidiolic acid). The level of conversion into THC or CBD heavily influences how your end product will look, smell and taste. Finally, pay attention to resistance levels; studying minor cannabinoids can help indicate whether one strain may have more tolerance than another towards diseases like powdery mildew or spider mites that commonly infect marijuana plants grown indoors under controlled conditions.
