honestly a lot of ppl get caught up in strain names, but it’s really the genetics + chem profile that matter most.
Genetics: the parents pretty much set the baseline for flavour + affects.
Cannabinoids: it’s not just THC or CBD, minor ones like CBG/CBN can shift the vibe heaps.
Terpenes: these are the smelly bits (like limonene, myrcene, pinene). they don’t just make it smell good, they also kinda tweak how it feels.
Grow conditions: same strain, diff enviroment = noticably diff result sometimes.
that’s why your mate might say a strain is chill but you feel it hit way more buzzy. it’s less about the name on the label and more about how your body reacts to the actual profile.
