    Popscotti is a uniquely presenting Indica Dominant Hybrid in all of its categories unter Terpological Discernment. It is a cross.of some Unique Genetics crossing a more.commonly seen Strain, Biscotti with a much less common Recreational strain, RED POP. Popscotti presents an Indica leaning profile but with a unique sativa Expression on the Profile.

     In a Terpological Reading of a strain there are essentially a handful of ways in which sativa expresses characteristics of sativa in Indica leaning Genetics. However, the presentation of Indica genetics on sativa Characteristic is much less likely, While it does happen it isn't as common to see for example, a Humulene Dominant Sativa hybrid, Given that Humulene is correlated to Indica. Remember, Humulene is related to beer via Hops, whose Latin name is Humulus Lupulus. That uck shake n shiver after you take a drink of beer, or a hit of rank n raw herb, that's Humulene. This isn't as common for example, as a Terpinolene Dominance, characteristic more often than not of Sativa on an Indica Profile.

     By indica vs Sativa Profile we are referring to the dominant Terpenes and cannabinoids and how they present. Sativas are defined in their Primary category of the super class of Terpenes by Terpinolene & Ocimene really over other Terpenes. The Cannabinoids characteristic is more complex for sativa expression. For one, higher THC levels indicate an increased level of sativa presenting on the indica Profile, at least that's the case with Popscotti. In Popscotti we see both the diminsihment of indica characteristic as well as inclusion of sativa leaning characteristic.

     Although those sativa inclusions, in Popscotti being Ocimene at 0.14% and Terpinolene at 0.17% are positioned in a secondary level ofnthe Superclass of terpenes. Heightening that categorization to a primary level would alter the extent to which we are reading Sativas impact on the Hybridization of this profile.

     We See in the ocimene and terpinolene the inclusivity of sativa in Indica expression, but remember for each there is both inclusions as well as the diminishment of the "standardized" levels and presences of Indica Leaning Terpenes and cannabinoids.

     For example, linalool is not common in sativa expression at all, and it is terpologically a primary example of the Indica superclass of Terpenes. However, in Popscotti there is a very obvious lowered Linalool level. When you see Humulene at a higher secondary level and linalool near 0% given linalool and Humulene heightened presence indicates deeper indica genetic expression, we suspect the diminished level of linalool from the heightened level of potent sativa expression. In other words, one way sativa is expressing on Indica with a lowered typical indica characteristic showing at tertiary superclass Levels. 

Beta Caryophyllene Clydesdale.kick

     In Indicas we see a primary level of beta Caryophyllene, linalool, & Humulene,.and beta Caryophyllene is a hard defining aspect of indica Characteristic. Beta Caryophyllene enhances sedation of the cannabis. Also, Beta Caryophyllene is terpologically the most accurate descriptor of indica given it is a direct enhancement of sedation and Indica is relative to couch lock and pain relief. 

Couch lock
Indica = Beta Caryophyllene= Couch Lock 

 

     Trans Caryophyllene is the most common form of Beta Caryophyllene and appears more often in indica because of this factor. However, the more hardline descriptor of indica relative to how we comprehend the difference between indica and sativa as Relaxation and sedation vs uplifted & energetic is indeed BETA Caryophyllene. That means that even in a sativa with a beta Caryophyllene presence, that indica characteristic expressesas sedative in nature. It is one of the few ways we see inclusivity of indica on a sativa leaning profile, but remember Popscotti is Indica by Industry definition. 

      Trans Caryophyllene being present in an indica / a lack of the beta caryophyllene is telling us that this Indica Hybrid has a lessened sedative nature as it lacks that sedation increases Terpene. On this note, people often misunderstand the presence of Myrcene as it varies relative to beta Caryophyllene presence and levels relative to one another. Myrcene enhances sedation of beta Caryophyllene when paired there with, it does.so to a lesser extent with trans Caryophyllene. Also, the probability the Myrcene will impact the absorption of THC across the blood brain barrier increasing psychoactivity is more prominent with trans Caryophyllene. It takes much more Myrcene to cause a psychoactive enhancement over sedative with beta Caryophyllene than trans Caryophyllene. 

Fire breath
Trans Caryophyllene= Fire Breath Exhale 

 

     So, with that, we know that a strain we are told is indica and is heavy on primary level in a trans Caryophyllene we know the sedation will likely be turned down, atleast the initial onset of the sedation & it is more easily impacted by heightened beta Myrcene presence. With that, the likelihood of being made more psychoactive is increasing and does so more with heightening beta Myrcene levels. Myrcene with beta Caryophyllene is typically sedative more so than if we took away the Myrcene from that equation. It takes almost an exponentially higher level of Myrcene compared to Beta Caryophyllene to get a psychoactive effect overpowering the indica Characteristic sedation. 

B Caryophyllene
Beta Myrcene enhances the sedation of Beta Caryophyllene when at non amplified levels, at excessively high levels greater than the beta Caryophyllene it acts like it does without beta Caryophyllene present, as a proliferative of THC across the blood brain barrier exacerbating psychoactivity via increased THC absorption on CB1 receptors. On its own Myrcene acts on CB1 & is less sedating & more psychoactive and is a bit less so like it's sativa presence paired with trans Caryophyllene. 
 

 

      In Popscotti we have Trans Caryophyllene at 1.68% and a Myrcene level of 1.33%. This is a reasonable level of each for the Terpenes to express more in their colloquially accepted characteristics and not change the sedating quality of indica to one more psychoactive. This is the hybrid aspect. To what extent is indica diminished? Moreover, to what extent is that diminished level replaced by or taken over experientially by heightened Myrcene to Beta Caryophyllene ratios? Remember, trans Caryophyllene is the most common form of beta Caryophyllene. 

Trans Caryophyllene
Trans Caryophyllene typically has a firey inhale and exhale with less sedative quality than beta caryophyllene, of which trans Caryophyllene is the most common form in nature & cannabis. 

 

      This is also an area of interest to me that I believe can point to the origins of cannabis, similar to limonene being expressive of sativa overall but having a presentation for indica and sativa not just effected by undertones of earthiness. There are actually 2 enantiomers of limonene, as well as 2 forms of Limonene. I have yet to really define whether it is that dual enantiomers nature or the variation between Delta and L Limonene that differentiates this.

      It may be that I don't have a full grasp on this concept yet. I was able to intuitively sense this pattern in the confirmation of Analysees and realized I wasn't just smelling things when I learned of the dual enantiomer nature of limonene as well as that delta and l limonene are described as Orange vs lemon aroma. Orange is certainly a more indica oriented aroma terpologically thinking han lemon. Lemon is sour, vibrant, saliva inducing while orange is more rank, earthy in its rind aromatic presence. I think it's a solid comparison or to compare lemon un peeled on the tree to indica, while sativa expresiveness is defined in the sliced open lemon. 

Limonene answered

      Limonene is what I have referred to in my Terpological protocol as a bridge between indica and sativa. Indica landrace does have the presence of Limonene, but again that limonene is typically different than sativa Limonene, and not just from the earthy undertones that is indica which aren't limonene, like beta Caryophyllene or linalool or Humulene.

      In sativa LIMONENE has the more vibrant expressive nature we expect terpologically of A sativa. Ergo, even though overall Limonene is expressive of sativa characteristic, we can't presume from heightened limonene levels that we have heightened sativa presence. Popscotti is a perfect example of this and this is a common happenstance in modern cannabis, which supports my sativa oriented protocol, IE diminished by sativa or sativa expresses on indica (occurs more Often than for example sativa diminished by indica.)

Limonene again
Limonene Explained 

 

      Popscotti has a dominant primary level of 2.99% which is nearly double the next highest level Terpene, trans Caryophyllene at 1.68%. The lowered level of linalool is also going to impact the limonene presence, especially how it presents aromatically. Because the reading of the profiles is only an initial step to discernment, and this is correlated with the aromatic profile and ideally to a structural profile as well, we have to consider this whole.picture. Ergo, we need to consider that the lessened presence of Indica aromatic characteristic of lavender, earthy, floral notes of linalool in how the limonene will then Present. 

     As well, overall Limonene experimentally is going to make the cannabis experience more.lively.and situated moreso towards sativa alertness. It is t an energetic psychoactive TERP, but it DEFINATELY also aligns experimentally with sativa characteristic. This is also represented in the Popscotti profile as it has rather odd alertness and uppidyness that we wouldnt expect from a sativa. 

      However, we know early on in seeing this profile that it is a sativa impacted hybrid. We can see this in quick observations of the presence of lack thereof of certain patterns. For example, seeing a significantly high THC level beyond approximately 0.5% in live concentrate examples is indicative of the sativa characteristic to present with higher levels of THC. The presence of THCVa is a quick decider as well, as it is typically present in a cannabinoid profile from sativa Landrace genetics, often times in modern cannabis from Durban Poison.

       As an example in the Terpenes, while it's harder to point to one Terpene to be a final deciding factor, we can be confident by pairing Terpenes and understanding those pairs. For example, we know we're seeing sativa if we see no beta Caryophyllene, linalool, or Humulene. 

Humulene
Humulene 

 

     Now I do realize there are obviously more Terpenes characteristic of indica than these 3, however they are the most prominent currently in my work in progress. Bisabalol is a tertiary level Terpene typically but is indica representative. Terpineol is often at tertiary or secondary levels and is also characteristic of Indica.

      THEREFORE,seeing a lack of Humulene, linalool, and BETA Caryophyllene and seeing heightened to primary or secondary levels of terpinolene and/or ocimene we can be more confident in stating sativa prominence. On the same note, the presence of Trans Caryophyllene makes it more likely.that were dealing with sativa significance. However, remember trans Caryophyllene is the most common form of beta Caryophyllene,.so it best to think of this rule in terms of Beta Caryophyllene (as Beta) being relative to Indica. It effects the cb2 located throughout the body receptors influencing sedation. Even when trans Caryophyllene presents in indica it still maintains its sativa orientation therein as it at the very least is less sedating than Beta Caryophyllene &doesn't have as intense of a sedation aplification with beta Myrcene as seen with Beta Caryophyllene.

Cb 1 cb 2
Cb 1 vs cb2 receptors activity 

 

     These characteristics make Trans Caryophyllene more characteristic of Sativa orientation that indica even though it is the most common form of beta Caryophyllene & therefore occurs more in both indica and sativa. Ergo, to simplify understanding this, think beta equals cb2 which are in the body where beta Caryophyllene seeks relaxation. Indica, body, cb2 receptors in the body, sedation of the body by CB 2 receptor activation via beta Caryophyllene. That sedation of beta Caryophyllene is enhanced with the presence of beta Myrcene at less than exponentially greater levels of beta Caryophyllene.

     When Myrcene is much higher than beta Caryophyllene, we tend to see an increase in psychoactive nature of the experience & a lessening of traditional indica characteristics effected by the increased activity on CB1 receptors. The heightened Myrcene causes the combination one would expect to be sedating to be the opposite of sedating. This is crucial to remember about beta Myrcene because as on its own it is analgesic, and only slightly relaxing. It is moreso relaxing due to its analgesia / painkillkmg properties allowing calm. Alone or when much higher than beta Caryophyllene the pair reverts back to its CB1 receptor psychoactivity enhancement.

       To support that we can look to a study where lab rats injected with Beta Myrcene both subcutaneously and intra paritaneally were shown to have analgesic benefits similar.to that of prescription opioids pain killers without activating the reward seeking pathway to that effect. Same pain killing benefit, no addictive behaviors. This speaks to the apparent lack of sedative quality of Myrcene that seems to be colloquially accepted as myrcenes main characteristic action in cannabis.

Mouse Myrcene analgesia
Study injecting Myrcene ok not lab rats indicated Myrcene has similar analgesia to prescription opioids without activating the additive reward.seeking pathway, hence it took a novel pathway. See my theory regarding this phenomena and it's application to my Bath Bombs With Hemp Derived Terpenes infusion for topical analgesia & therapeutic relief. 

 

    So remember, alone it's analgesic and possibly psychoactively more intense but with beta Caryophyllene it is sedating more than beta Caryophyllene alone. Myrcene increasing within the range of not causing the throw back to CB1 receptor activity tends to make the relaxation / sedation of beta Caryophyllene hit more.immedoately with more intensity, intensity being very similar to that psychoactive sensation Myrcene produces in sativa leans.

     You also tend to feel the beta caryophyllene as you inhale the cannabis oil and the trans Caryophyllene tends to cause a burnt throat hit & fiery exhale. Think of trans caryophyllene as the 'cough to get off' instigator. Beta Caryophyllene kicks like a Clydesdale horse  before exhale. 

Cough to get off
Trans Caryophyllene has a firey inhale and exhale causing "cough to get off" phenomena,. Beta Caryophyllene is smooth & has a kick to the chest while holding the hit. 

 

    ONE OF THE patterns of which I am most proud for having uncovered so far in my development of this protocol is the formula for lea n assignment from Pinenes levels. This formula is approximately equivalent to the presence of indica to sativa.

The formula is 

 

  (A-Pinene÷Sum A+B) / (B-Pinene÷Sum A+B)

                       Approx. =

     Lean Of Sativa (Alpha) to Indica (Beta) 

     This formula usually holds true but there are exceptions, all of which is haven't used out totally yet. However, one of those occasions of acceptance is in Popscotti. We must remember in this that the presence of sativa characteristic on this indica profile, which is important here. In the pinene formula use we find that alpha pinene seems to indicate a pure sativa landrace strain as there is no Beta Pinene listed. This would indicate a pure sativa genetic, which we know upfront from the packaging in this case that were dealing with an Indica Hybrid.

      I believe this is a just barely leaning indica, so around a 55/45 Indica Dominant hybrid. I have a theory about the pinene ratios which is that strains with more pure genetics closer in their lineage to strain at hand show a lack of adhering to the Pinene formula. This applies to strains expressing themselves more purely as well as, like in Popscotti more pure strains contributing to the genetic pool closer to the production of popscotti. So instead.of seeing al landrace 4 generations back we may see.it as a parent genetics for example. 

     We have a significant level of Alpha Humulene in Popscottie which is one of the few solid indicators.of an indica leaning heft. Humulene appears in this Live Resin Badder at 0.82%. The further away from immediate primary level support of The primary dominant Terpene, often beta Caryophyllene in Indicas (as beta in easier to define situations or as trans Caryophyllene in less clear strains) then the less indica heft we are seeing expressed therein. 

      Back tracking a bit to the Cannabinoid Profile, we see a few things that stand out immediately. The first most obvious things are the increased level of THC and the presence of THCVa. Both of these factors are indicative of sativa expression being prominent in the profile. This is essentially just traditional cannabis knowledge colloquially accepted by the community. That being that THC is typically considered to be in higher levels in Sativa cannabis whereas CBD is more commonly in higher levels in Indicas.

    Then we look for he expression of CBGa to CBG profile given that we already know from packaging his is Indica, though regardless this is usuallythe point at which I begin when reading profiles. The typical Indica characteristic is approximately 1.5% CBGa to an Approximately 1/3 that level of CBG, which is about 0.5-0.9% or so.

Indica Afghani
Afghani Indica Landrace - CBGa / CBG pairing where CBG is approx. 1/3 the presence of CBGa which is around 0.9% on Average 

 

       Here we have a CBG level totally diminished to being not listed, and a heightened CBGa Level from the expected indica expression. These both indicate a sativa characteristic expression on an Indica Profile. The CBGa expresses as being more.impacted hy sativa as the level increases, and the corresponding effect on CBG characteristic of this haopenstance is a lessening thereof. So both ways we see expression of one lean on Andover another & diminishment effect are both represented in this CBGa / CBG profile.

    Continued on 2/16/24 

      The genetic breakdown of the plant is also important to get a full understanding of the strains your interpreting. I want to highlight the fact that the alpha Pinene Beta Pinene formula not only doesn't apply properly to this strain, but it is the polar opposite of the actual lean. Remember that beta pinene relative to indica and alpha to sativa that added together, each taken against the sum of the two is the ratio of indica to sativa respectively.

      So if you seen alpha 0.5% and Beta pinene the same 0.5%, we have a total of 0.10%. Beta pinene over the sum is 50% as is alpha pinene as their the same in this example. This is a 50/50 lean.

50/50
50/50:Lean, 

 

       However, when the strain is presenting in one of two ways, the formula equates to a polar opposite lean. Those two situations are when the genetics are as follows. The first, we see in examples of landrace presentation near the contributing genetics, aka simplicity of the genetic profile (within 3-5 generations of the landrace genetics.)

Drip yom yang
Artistic Rendering of 50/50 &/or presentation of opposite characteristics in a strain. FOR example, Terpinolene Dominance & THC heightened level in an Intuited Indica Hybrid. Or say beta Caryophyllene in a.Sativa like Blue Dream. making Snoop Dog OG indica hybrid Happy uplifting & BlueDream Sativa hybrid Relaxing and Calming. 

     So the closer to the pure genetics that a strain is, the more likely it is that the pinene formula presents polar opposite lean moreso than the intuitive initial glancing understanding of the over all profile. So looking at this Profile we would understand it is likely indica, but heavily influenced by sativa genetics. Or in the case of this Popscotti by Gage we know it is Indica Hybrid from packaging labeling.

       The Second situation, the opposite presentation is common in profiles that are expressing dominant or prominent levels of Terpenes & Cannabinoids & yheir corresponding levels opposing the presumed lean. In other words heavily oriented in opposition to the intuitive understanding or knowledge of the actual lean.

     So maybe a terpinolene heavy & THC heavy indica hybrid like Snoop Dog OG, though there are more oppositional examples. A sativa example of this would be like the profile.in Blue Dream, slightly indica indicated by its beta Caryophyllene presence. Again, your much less likely to see this, pinene indicate indica on an obvious or known/suspected sativa  than to see pinene indicate sativa on an indica.  

Snoop dog OG
Snoop Dog OG 

 

      So in short it is less common to see a polar opposition against sativa, where pinene formula is indicating indica on a sativa lean, than the apparent sativa lean on indicas. Again this supports the idea behind the genetic strength of sativa relative to my theory on cannabis as well as the recreational market from 1970s -mid 2000s. 

      On that note I find it best to not know before hand the lean of a strain so I am not influenced by it in my analysis. The other situation we see polar opposition in lean to formula is in stains that present with profiles in significant opposition to the reality of the strain. So for example, a heightened terpinolene to dominance in an Indica Hybrid like Snoop Dog OG or Gorilla Glue no 4.

      We can look at the overall profile once we have a general grasp of the Terpological assignment of Terpenes and Cannabinoid interactions for ourselves, and when we see a sativa dominant Terpene expression in a generally indica profile, possibly with other opposition markers like THC potency (as opposed to lower THC, not THCa but Delta 9 THC) we can prepare for the possibility that pinene levels will be oppositionally indicative.

       In this one of the two situations where I have seen this inaccuracy of pinene formulae this will prevent less absolute than simplified genetic lineages. In this instance as well we often see the pinene Formula not give us an accurate description of the strains lean, but not as an absolute opposite of landrace. But rather some obscure lean in opposition to the intuited reality or known lean from box indicators. 

      The difference is that when the presenting cannabis is close to the landrace genetics in its lineage, we tend to see an absolute pinene definition opposite the expected. But when the strain presents as uniquely expressing indica on a sativa or sativa on an indica we see opposition of lean but not in absolute totality of polar opposition. It may present as 55/45 sativa rather than being appropriately categorized indica.

       This is a fairly common occurrence in modern Hybrid cannabis so this is an important concept to grasp to fully understand Terpological Protocol. 55/45 is the probable lean of this strain in my Terpological Discernment. So like this Popscotti, the presenting cannabis, the genetics are closer to landrace in lineage therefore it presents as an absolute polar opposite.

     In Popscotti we see this defined with an absolute absence of Beta pinene in the superclass presentation in the Confirmation of Analysis.these rules naturally always have exceptions. 

       Ergo, the indication is a pure sativa in Popscotti. This is the common indication in simplified genetics where as in genetics indicating opposote profile presence we see a reversed lean of the pinene ratio, still in opposition to the expected

      In my opinion, my hypothesis of this is that sativa genetics, particularly landrace are much stronger in stability than both Hybrids as well as Landrace Indica. Ergo you will often see this polar opposition indicated in an indica hybrid or fairly potent indica as opposed to seeing a sativa hybrid present incorrectly as indica. This also backs up and fits with my analysis of sativa genetics as the dominant or at least genetically stronger from of CANNABIS.

      While it's true, indica is more hardy in terms of survivability of adverse conditions, in terms of genetic presentation expression compared to indica it often overpowers it's mating strains. Even when we see for example, A strain 4 generations down from a landrace cross of Durban Poison, that Durban Poison still is able.to express itself quite often in the indica hybrid examples of this. Often in these cases the Indica Hybrid will present with levels of THCVa, uncommon in Indica as well, or heightened THC as previously noted.

Durban Poison

       Again, the most important thing here is that when the cannabis being studied is within just a few crossings from the Landrace genetics, the pinene ratio presents as polar opposite to the actuality, meaning a total sativa lean on this (likely imo)  55/45 Indica hybrid.

     So it is not opposite like 55/45 SATIVA Dom. Rather than. indica, But opposite in totality, so it's sativa pure that is the pinene indication. This is the que that the genetics are likely very simplistic, having few crosses between presenting strain and the landrace contributions.

    Again, there's always exceptions, it's possible to be simplemin lineage and have an accurate pinene representation. And comparing when this happens vs when it doesn't is how I start to understand what's causing this and how it's effecting everything, or how it can be used to further understand the cannabis. 

      In modern cannabis in America it is not uncommon for this to be Durban Poison in these situations as it is a significant contributer to modern genetics, for example via the cookies.line of cannabis.

      Biscotti is one of our halves of the genetic contribution to Popscotti. Biscotti is a cross of South Florida OG and Gelato #25 (Guava Gelato). We have here a trace back to Thin Mint GSC & Sunset Sherbet. This is what I mean by the simplicity of the profile. The more simplistic the lineage the more likely it is we see that oddity of pinene ratio representation. In absolute polar opposition, as opposed to the other happenstance situation where sativa is expressing heavily on the Indica leaning strain when the opposition is not absolute but still in opposition to the reality of the lean.

Oh Kush
OG Kush is a nice full green, Hindu Kush the Landrace has more purples. 

 

     Sunset Sherbet is a well known strain and is a good example of both simplicity of genetics and the presence of Durban Poison (or possibly just South African Landrace in General ) being the genetics of this oddly presenting Indica. We have Thin Mint GSC which is a cross that takes us back to Durban Poison F1. This is within a mere 6 total crossings.

Durban
Used extensively thanks to centuries of cultivation creating a uniquely dense sativa Landrace strain widely utilized on today's Market. It is also the cause of much of the THCVa we see today in my.edicated opinion

 

     We have Hindu Kush Indica With Burma Sativa. This is an interesting area of thelineae to make more of as it is a cross of pure Indica And Pure sativa Landrace Genetics. Burma uses an unknown Indica From Burmese to cross with OG Kush. OG Kush is also not a complex genetic lineage, as it is a cross of Chem Dawg and the Landrace India Hindu Kush named after the Afhani/pakastani mountain range to which it is endemic. 

OH kush
OH KUSH 

 

      This is also a key thing to make of in the genetics of Popscotti overall. Specifically the presence of Hindu Kush in the parents of Burma, as it is Burmese & OG Kush, as well as it being crossed with Hindie kush. So the Parent is present in the other parents contributing genetics one generation from the current.

Hindi
Hindu Kush 

 

      We also then see in the initial genetics of Biscotti, we have South Florida OG, where we see Hindu Kush crossed with Gelato #25, which also has Hindi Kush repeating this tactic of reusing the landrace genetics after they've been used. This is also an important pattern to take note of and observe patterns occuring in relationship thereto. 

Guava Gelato
Gelato #25 - Guava Gelato 

 

      When we look at them Hindu Kush x ChemDawg, OG Kush...we know that Chemdawg is likely also a croas of Landrace genetics. So here again we have a quick abrupt halting of the lineage. Chemdog is likely Nepalese x Thai Landrace, or at least this is the most accepted current consensus of its uncertain genetics. Chemdawg is merely an advanced recreationally potent improved version of chemdog, same Genetics. 

Chem Dawg
Chemdog was Created as a possible/probable Nepalese x Thai Landrace cross
 Chemdawg is a version worked on by the US illicit market to amplify potency and orient the strain recreationally. Hence, high AF. 

 

   Then we move onto the genetics of Gelato 25 aka Guava Gelato and we see even more of this Hindu kush Indica being used to cross over it's genetic offshoots. Like OG kush X Burma. We have Hindu Kush x Chemdog but it is doubly present crossed with burma then crossed over itself. 

Hindu vs OG Kush
oG Kush vs Hindu Kush, Both heavily utilized today

 

      oG kush crossed with the F1 Durban Poison Landrace is also here in Thin Mint Cookies. 

Durban Poison
Cultivated by Tribes like Bantu Tribe of South Africa for Centuries. Sativa Landrace but die to endmeic environment & centuries of Cultivation it has a fairly dense,less elongated bud structure. Add today's cultivation & it's a go to for genetics being incredibly Stale. 

    

   While Red Pop does not have the genetic Simplicity that is seen in Biscotti, there is a unique presentation none the less that aligns with the strain being an example of opposition to the intuited or known strain lean. In this case there is an extensive amount of Landrace contributions to the genetics of this one hybrid strain. 

      Red Pop is also known as Faygo Red Pop crosses a hynrid of unknowm limeage, Strawberry with Cookoes n Cream. Cookies n cream gives us the genetics of Girl Scout Cookies and Straighter F2. Now while these direct parents are not landrace, we see landrace taking only one more step back genetically. There we have Thin Mint GSC which is OG Kush x F1 Durban.

       This is a Durban Poison one generatikn removed from its endemic environment. Then we already know we have Hindu Kush in OG Kush. OG Kush is important to mention here as well since we're attempting to understand why these pinene profiles are presenting in such a unique manner. oG Kush is a Clone Only line, all of those used in the creation of Popscotti are clone Only OG derivatives. I included a chart above to compare OG genetics with those of Kush indicating the difference between them. 

Sfv oG
San Fernando Valley oG Kush (SFV-OG) - OG KUSH (Emerald Triangle Hailimg Unknown Hybrid crossed with Hindu Kush) x Afghani 

 

      OG Kush is a clone only, but others included here like Tahoe OG take a Tahoe Cut and cross with san Fernando Valley OG. San Fernando Valley OG is a cross of OG kush derived from the Emerald Triangle Unknown Hybrid (compared to the Strawberry Unknown Hybrid) & Hindu Kush Landrace with Afghani Indica Landrace. So we therefore have clones of various cuttings that create carrying lines of OG cannabis. Like the contributing genetics to Popscotti via Red Pop of SFV OG & SFV OG Kush. 

Red pop
Red Pop - Unknown Strain (Strawberry) X Cookies n Cream

   When we get to Starfighter F2 we start to see a lot more examples of parent strains with very simplostic and therefore genetically pure lineage. One can merely quickly pick any contributing genetics from the lineage tree for Red Pop under Starfighter F2 & Everything falls within the range making it applicable to strain lean oppositional Ratio phenomena of the pinene formula, remember of which there are two happenstances in which we see said phenomena.

     Genetic Simplicity as seen here and opposition presentation in profiles. Both of these characteristics are present in Popscotti, the simplicity of the profile / proximity to landrace contribution & as well as sativa expression on this industry labeled indica hybrid. We see both Ocimene & Terpinolene present at a secondary level when taken against the entire superclass. Ocimene tests 0.14% and Terpinolene 0.17%. given the numbers on the profile these Terpenes are categorized as a secondary level Terpene.

    This isn't as significant as if these were primary on an indica, like Snoop Dog OG dominance in Terpinolene. Meaning that the likelihood of the strain expressing in opposition is supported more strongly by this observation. In the case of Popscotti the proximity of the strain to landrace is more applicable than the secondary level presentation of the sativa characteristics on this obviously indica Profile.

Blue dream
Blue Dream Is a great example of the Second Happenstance in which the pinene lean ratio opposition phenomena occurs, resulting in a strain presenting with characteristics of the opposite lean as intuited by or given on the Comfirmation of Analysis. This is sativa presenting on Indica, remember there's also diminishment of the actual lean characteristic by oppositional characteristics (lessened linalool in Popscotti). 
 

     In addition to the manner in which sativa presents on indica or vice versa (much less common, IE Blue Dream beta caryophyllene presence equals.relaxing sativa) we have to also take into account the sativa profile diminishment of Indica expression on the profile. We see this exemplified in the lessened level of linalool. Linalool is an earthy lavender like floral Terpene which is characteristic of indica expression.

Linalool
Diminished in Popscotti , characteristic of sativa impact on indica diminishment

 

       Linalool is typically aligned inso far as the levels of Humulene & beta Caryophyllene. Beta Caryophyllene typically tests as your second highest and often the dominant Terpene in the superclass of Terpenes. Humulene and linalool typically act in support of this Terpene at levels sort of stair stepping down from the beta Caryophyllene level. 

     Lemon Kush is a great example of how Red Pop isnt characteristic of the first method in which pinene formulas' strain lean oppositional Ratio phenomena which is simplicity of the profile. This is also thought of as proximity to landrace genetics, as with less genetic crossing there's a closer proximity to landrace. Lemon Kush is exemplified by the reoccurrence of landrace contribution numerous times. 

Lemon Kush cartoon
Lemon Kush 🍋

 

       Lemon Kush is a unique example.of the phenomena as the profile is not simplistic in nature, yet it has very quick paths to landrace contributions. There is simply a significant number of landrace genetics crossing. First there is the initial cross of genetics which is Lemon G (also extensively landrace impacted close to presenting strain) with Hindu Kush Hailimg from Afghanistan. 

     We move to the first set of genetics and we see Early Misty x G13. G 13 is known as Government strain Number 13. It is highly rjmored to be either a genetic enhancement experiment by the US government at the FDAs University of Mississippi cannabis Cultivation facility (see my articles and posts on the subject, it's deeply interesting) to create the ultimate Indica Pure Strain.

G13
G13 is.rumored to have created by US scientists to create to ultimate Pure Indica Genetics by crossing numerous Indica Landrace genetics, and also rumored to possibly rather be carried into the states via a Warring Soldier returning Home From Overseas. 

 

       The other popular rumor is that a soldier brought the seed back from Afghanistan or Vietnam, I can't remember which but both stories seem legitimate when one considers the stoner nomenclature. So G13 is a landrace Hybrid Indica pure Hybrid Genetic. 

       Lemon Gs other contribution is Early Misty. And in this we have the simplicity in proximity to landrace / Plethora of Landrace in Simplicity phenomena (p¹). The second phenomena I will call the Characteristic Opposition of strain presentation phenomena (p²), meaning the opposite characteristics of that lean are presenting on the profile, be that presence of the opposite characteristics or diminishment of the leans actual characteristics. So this can be like our Blue Dream go to example of A sativa lean with Beta Caryophyllene sedating quality or as an example.of diminishment we have the lack of.CBG or lowered linalool content in Popscotti. 

     Lemon G is an easily seen example of simplicity in proximity / plethora of Landrace simplicity phenomena. So we have an immediate throw back to sativa landrace expression in Early Misty's Parent genetics. 

A Pinene
Alpha Pinene 

 

     After this we see Early Skunk, which is also a blend of landrace genetics immediately. Early Skunk is Early Girl x Pollyanna which both trace immediately back to hybrid landrace in Early Girl and South American Sativa Landrace in Pollyanna. Both representing the simplicity of Proximity to Landrace phenomena & plethora of Landrace in Simplicity phenomena extremely well (both types of Phenomena 1 in pinene formula Terpological protocol.)

     Even Skunk No.1 is a proximity to simplicity phenomena example. Skunk No. 1 is literally a cross of 3 Landrace genetics. I wouldn't consider this plethora of.lamdrace in simplicity as were only dealing with 3 genetic profiles, all landrace. Ergo it is exemplary of simplicity of Proximity to Landrace  phenomena.

B pinene
Beta Pinene 

 

     Then when we back up to the genetics of Popscotti, Which are the contributing genetics.of Biscotti & Red Pop we get back to Tahoe Alien. Once again we have an epitomized example of Simplicity of proximity to Landrace phenomena.

Indica vs Sativa - My Artistic Interpretation of the Modern Dichotomous Binary Categorization of cannabis Lean
  • Indica, Sativa, Hybrid.....but to what extent hybrid? EVOLUTIONARILY ADAPTIVE TERPOLOGICAL DISCERNMENT & ASSIGMENT DEVELOPMENTAL CANNALYTIC PROTOCOL seeks to further this categorization to more accurately understand the synergistic effects of cannabis & categorize them more accurately thereby.

    Soecifically this reel is hinting at the scientific understanding of Myrcene in cannabis & how the synergistic effects differ in sativa or indica. It is scientifically stated that cannabis over 0.5% Myrcene is typically indica, this based on the presumption of myrcenes pain killing & Sedative nature. However, really in my study I have found Myrcene to enhance psychoactivity in sativa and in Indica increases sedation TYPICALLY. This is directly due to synergistic differences between indica and sativa that is part of my protocol.
    Indicas contain Beta Caryophyllene in that form, as there is another form present more often in a sativa (but also in indicas) called Trans Caryophyllene. Beta ...

MARIJUANA EFFECTS THE MEMORY.... MARIJUANA EFFECTS THE MEMORY... MARIJUANA EFFECTS T........I can only count to 4 ...... When I'm stoned .... 😂

No jokes. So we all know how Cannabis in years past and today even is said to alter memory in a negative way causing a loss of short term memory. Well, that's somewhat true at least in my notable experience.
While in college at Garrett College prior to transferring to Frostburg State University I took Statistics. I wanted to avoid having to take it at the University and thought it may be easier with a professor not insane as the one at FSU doing intro Stats at that time. Unfortunately I ended having the same professor as she was doing some courses like mine at Garrett. Her name was Ms. budzienne and she was an absolutely horrid teacher and person in general. Over half the class received a failing grade and those who passed like myself I got a 78% and I'm a typical A/B student. Between those who left / unenrolled in the course in time and those who failed over half the class did not pass this course.
I not d this because I was smoking weed more than usual prior to her class to keep my ...

Intacacies Behind Proper Dab Technique - Cold Starting vs Normal Dabbing - Why So Hot & Why Wait To Cool Down? - Proper Dab Technique

Normally when one takes a dab the standard way to do so is to preheat the banger, which is the equivalent to a Bowl on a bong. You typically preheat to 450-520°F. This is the way to get the totality of the experience onset all at once and as hard hitting as whatever your poison can get.
However, just because you don't slam yourself into stoned state with a single rip doesn't mean you won't get there using a low temp warm up cold start. You'll get to that Maximum point but you alsocdont have to, if for example that potent hard hitting onset is too much for you personally.
I prefer to do what people.refer to as a Low temp dab. This starts at a lower temperature and then I use the butane torch to heat up the banger slowly. Now this technique is the same when using a cold start in the Self Spinner. Therefore first I will describe the heating process of a cold start, because it's not just the same as heating and waiting for the cool down period to dab.
Most people start the heating of the banger from the ...

Pink Sunrise - Indica Dom Hybrid (unstable genetics, listed as sativa, explained below) 73.39% THCa. Amnesia x GMO Cake

DOMINANT in Beta Caryoohyllene, Limonene, & Linalool, With no CBD this is the Indica Lovers hybrid high. There is not the extreme body grogginess one would typically get from heavier Indica Blends, but it still keeps the late hitting Munchies. The munchies were one of the main positives of this blend Imo.
The Beta Caryophyllene hits at 1.75%,Limonene 0.87% & Linalool 0.82%. a heavier Indica blend would have for example beta myrcene paired up in that dominant terpene cluster. Humulene is also a very good indicator of Indica Genetics. Limonene is one of the bridge terpenes meaning that it presents not as an identifier of lean one way or another but does so in both sides of the cannabis dichotomous genetic makeup. There is a more lemon like presentation of Limonene in sativa presentation and typically a less pungent orange like citrus that expresses in most indica leaning presentations. That isn't to say for certain though that the sativa presentation wouldn't appear in an indica expression. U can ...

Liquid Diamond Cart Vs Live Resin Çart vs Distillate w/ Botanical Terps

So there's several types of carts available on the dual market here in Maryland. Sussing out what is what even asking budtenders can be sketch as many are simply pretty faces for the industry. Live Resin, liquid Diamond, and distillate are different products sources from raw cannabis flower.
A live concentrate is referencing the fact that the entirety of the plant has been used to make the product. Curred Resin has only the bud of the plant used in the concentrate processing. So live resins have more Terpenes that come naturally from the plant. By flash freezing a plant upon removal from dirt the Terpenes and cannabinoids are maximally preserved.
When resin products are processed there is a significant level of THCa lost in comparison to the process of making Diamonds. A Live Resin will typically tap in with levels around mid 70s to upper 80s and once in a great while you can find a strain pushing into the 90% range. This is a bit more than a curred budder for example, where those THCa levels ...

Grapescicle Preroll From Curio 31.64% THC levels - Smells like very lightly mentholated Grapes, very Fruity Grapey Skunk Presentation

Very much so worth while as a pre roll
Terps stuck to this like glue, which is an issue for ALOT of pre rolls. The roll was also nicely compacted and not too loose nor tight, which is also an issue I run into when buying pre rolls. These aren't rolled by hand usually it's a machine rolling them using a gravity fed agitation technique. So the skull of an expert hand doesn't feel the compactness to roll it on point Everytime. But these from Curio, the half gram joints sold as 1 gram 2 rolls are nicely rolled.

DEFINATELY recommend for the high and well as the incredible terps.

I also snagged some Juice J pre rolls same 0.5 gram rolls 2 in a container for $9 from Strane. It was a bit less appealing but was the more common place in ore roll territory. It wasn't real terpy and had a bit harsher smoke than the Grapescicle.
Juice J is a nice juicy fruit like taste as well so it probably losses it's terps fairly quickly not being really fruity or powerfully presenting. Though I ...

Cannabis Bud Structure & Micro Structures - Analysis of Bud Structure
Dichotomy of Indica & Sativa as a Means Of Classification - Attempted & Presented, Terpological Cannalysis Is Novel

 

 

Cannabis Bud Structures & Micro Structures

Dichotomy of Indica & Sativa as a Means Of Classification, Attempted & Presented,Terpological Cannalysis is NOVEL 

Tying it all together w/Terpenes 

Current scientific approach to categorizing cannabis in a binary fashion. Above shows the distinction between indica red and sativa green. 

  I have wanted to write a full on discussion about bud structure for awhile now. So I figured I would use it as a chance to show how older attempts to create a Charting for Terpenes & Cannabinoids has been presented in the past but nothing has really taken hold of the field as of yet. Those that are presented that hold.similar value I have included links to in this paper. Such as seperatin the cannabis first using the THC only, THC & CBD, & CBD  only. This splits to Terpene Clusters defined in their papers.

 

 

      I am not going to dive too far into that work because I do not want their findings of Terpene research to influence my findings via my approach. My approach splits the Terpenes into three Hierarchical categories based upon each confirmation of analysis of Terpene levels, seperating them into three categories demarcated by significant decrease in amount of the Terpenes present. Primary, secondary, and tertiary levels.

      This categorization has led ME tO questions such as, what if the Tertiary level equated to or was more.than the primary Terpene. Would the cannabis be effected in any novel notable way.? Or what other patterns EXSISt therein to be found that reveal new information.?

Pinene Lean Ratio For Discerning Lean From Levels of Alpha & Beta Pinene plugged into my formula to discern percentage sativa to indica more accurately than. A guess taken on structural chacteriatica pertinent to the cultivator, my approach at lean is pertinent to the user. 

     My protocol is very much centered around understanding terpenes, their role in cannabis in nature and synergistically in use, This goes all the way back to how the Terpenes are created in cannabis as well as the cannabinoids, as their closely connected, which my protocol takes into account, but I do not begin with a tertiary split of chemicals of THC expression.

     For Terpological protocol this works out via the entire cannabinoid profile on COA that points more accurately I may add I argue to specifics about lean and experience of that strain. The formation of the bud involves the formation of Cannabinoids and terpenoids, which I have touched on in the past. The process of the molecular development of the terpenoids and cannabinoids is also very much relative to my comprehension of this data fully as it is part and parcel of the evolutionary approach.

      For example, by understanding the levels of CBGa that characterize indica, I have hypothesized that higher levels of CBGa correlates to Sativa as Sativa contains more complex cannabinoid profiles which would use more CbgA. Devils Advocate, what if that means though that lower CBGa indicates Decarbbing, meaning there was more CBGa but all the cannabinoids used it up.

       There's that thinking or that indicas decarb that Initial cannabinoid more than a sativa due to the natural endemic environments of jungle vs desert. So is lower CBGa an indica trait or is it pointing out that it has been used extensively to create the remaining cannabinoids. To know this it would be helpful to know the initial levels of CBGa produced prior to production of the other cannabinoids both in indica and sativa. This is just one way in which the articles I have referenced may further my own study. Just off the top of my head. 

    I have discussed how CBGa is the first cannabinoid to be born of Olevetolic acidnand Geranyl Diphosphate in creation. Or my hypothesis that CBGa in Increased levels beyond those I find to be associated with Indica Expression (approx. 1.50% in Indica hybrid), that this is expressive or characteristic of SATIVA influence on the cannabis.

      Now the NBCI article does state that variation between indica and sativa isn't as cutnand dry as SATIVA UP INDICA DOWN. 

 

This is a huge POINT of Evolutionarily Adaptive Terpological Discernment and Assignment Developmental Cannalytic Protocol, but not only that there's a range of variation of Specifically Sativa Expressing on Indica profiles creating plethora of varrying lean dominance hybrids, but that it can be quantified and understood through Understanding Terpenes and the Confirmation of analysis that shows us those levels. 

Showing how CBGa is Formed FIRST from the precursor molecules Olevetolic Acid And Geranyl Diphosphate which then is formed from CBGa, Cannabegerolic Acid into THCa, CBNa, CBDa, Etc. once Decarbbed, introduced to heat and light the Acid is Taken Out so it's just then THC, CBD, CBG, etc. 

     The formation of cannabis is at the definitive base of Terpological Cannalysis as the creation or rather existence of Sativa and Indica are characterized by micro adaptations specific to their endemic environments. Indica produces earthier, spiced, Hops like herbal woodsy scents. Terpenes are for plant protection, this is spelled out in the characterization of strains via their prominent Terpenes, using COA all levels. Indica is high in linalool, which is known to repel FEMALE mosquitos which are particularly bad in regions where indica grows best outdoors wild, Afghanistan Pakistan etc.

     Sativa just like the Birds of the jungle, the sativa is characterized by expressions of Terpenes relative to the rest of that endemic enviroment. Hence the fruity, bright expressive, complex, exotic aromatic presentations. Now I present the concept of "bridge Terpenes" which explains things like why an overlap of Limonene in Both Landrace presentations, which I believe is the dual enantiomers of Limonene.

    There are other Terpenes as well with the same arrangement having one indica and a sativa type of that terpene. Beta Caryophyllene is another, trans Caryophyllene being the most common type thereof. Beta Caryophyllene is black pepper, that's the smell, and it's also found in black pepper able to be absorbed as it too is a dietary Terpene.

     It is also sedative and ergo all around associated with and characterizes the profile of an Indica leaning hybrid or indica.h Trans Caryophyllene is less so sedating but still calming and relaxed & relative to sativa. There are supposedly however landrace sativa Claimed anyway that has Beta Caryophyllene.

     If this is the case then my theory that if indeed Sativa leads to indica in the grand help of it all Evolutionarily, then beta Caryophyllene would be able to express on Sativa, it just isn't common. Usually beta Caryophyllene comes from indica influence, at least to my current understanding. The above may change that thinking over time. 

                         Bud Structure

    What most growers rcognize as the Bud is actually a group of pistllate structures. The actual flower of cannabis is technically the pistils themselves. The structures of the cannabis together make up what we call a bud. 

    Now that I have, I hope sufficiently connected my protocol to why I'm even discussing bud Structure, it's also a good thing to understand in general. It will also help you to understand how I define the structural characteristics of the Macro and the pulled back micro structures, micro structures meaning the shape that makes up the general overall shape. 

Cheese Cannabis Sativa Leaning Bud Structure

    First remember there's the generalized difference between indica and Sativa in their macro structure shape, density, & micro structures of shape and actual Micro Structures.

Quesso Pero Multiple Colas 

   Indica is bulbous and dense, shorter stunted pistils, and sativa has longer pistils often lighter in color than indicas both in bud color and pistil. But let's look at these parts. 

Cola
Single sativa Cola 

    The largest part of the bud starting on the Plant we see is the COLA. THIS is the large Inverse cone/ pointed hat on top a cannabis plant. If the plant has been topped or femmed there will be loads of Colas,one per main branch. Structures of and On the Cola is where we're diving into, not just of the Colas Though. This applies.to all buds.on the plant. 

Single Cola of Indica Hybrid 

 

    The next step down would probably be, well first to begin with the Cotleydons. Cotleydons are the round leaves that form on cannabis in the seed that allows the plant to begin photosynthesis once above soil. They help direct the seedling to orient the root and grow towards the sun. These fall off or some snip then once the leaf base is developed of the beginner fan leaves. 

   Part of the bud that is probably the least important  to the cannabis user is the Sugar Leaves. However it's worth discussing as sugar leaves are the foliage left on Untrimmed cannabis. This is sold for very cheap, cheaper than smalls which is just small buds. The sugar leaves do have trichomes on them and can be ground up though they will ad a slight harshness if too dense with sugar leaves.

This is MAC IV I Grew as my first ever grow showing the sugar leaves very nicely. This is the COLA Of that Plant grown with Sunlight and HCL Lighting Indoors, and it was a feminized Regular (Photoperiod) Seed. 

    The Calyx is the same pointy shape as the ends of sugar leaves, but they're shorter and they remain on the bud, usually trimmers do ofn't snip them unless they're really sticking out. The Calyx is the foliage that ends up colored nearly.Black in indica leaning OG hybrids and shows off a mint green that contrasts against surrounding CANNABIS foliage in sativa leaning OG cannabis strains. This may seem like a far fetched generality but it is not. Id confidently say 90% of the time OG cannabis presents with unique colored Calyxs. 

     Atleast this is what many people believe. . . In reality the Calyx, well cannabis technically doesn't have a Calyx, not per se. The Calyx like region I am referring to above and many growers mistake as a Calyx is actually called the Perianth.

 

These structures are often what is colored purple in indica cannabis, although anthacinin levels can be activated by cold exposure causing even more purple foliage. The same structures are black in indica OG Expressions, and a mint dark green in Sativa leaning OG cannabis Kush strains. 

OG Kush Indica Dark Purple Verging on Black "calyx" which are actually sugar leaves & Bracts, which contain the highest levels of terpenoids in the distillate structure that is the Bud. 

     This is the "spade shaped structure" that forms when the cannabis first moves into flower from vegetation. This is also where one can differentiate the sex of the cannabis. Typically when you see these form and you have these pistils though you looking at a female, and Ganja Goddess willing she won't herm. Males aren't always bad though, especially if you want to cultivate and create not just grow. 

This shows the structure often referred to as Calyx, indeed what I see in OG cannabis that is colored black or mint green is these structures, but these are the Perianth, which contain Calyx Cells, but there is not structural component called a Calyx on cannabis. 

       Now as for the Trichomes of cannabis, most everyone realizes these are the frosty looking and sometimes sticky stringy crystalline structures that cover cannabis. There is actually a few types of Trichomes which explains to me ALOT like how many Sativas have a fuzzy white appearance of small short no bulbous head Trichomes.

Sessile Stalked Tricomes - Short and bulbous head, remember the stalked tricomes with head has the highest concentration of goodies. 

      There is Bulbous trichomes which is a bulbous head on practically no stalk, short and round. Capitate Sessile Trichomes are bulbous heads on a short stalk, & Capitate stalked tricomes are longer stalks and a bolbous head.

Capitate stalked Tricomes, these tricomes with longer stalks and bulbous heads are those with which people.are most familiarized & contain the largest concentration of cannabinoids.Alao exemplifies the compact bolbous macro and micro structurenifmthe colas and distillate Structures. He Trichomes seen with Naked eye, usually on Indica presenting leans, are Capitate Stalked. 

So there's just round, round with a short stalk, and round with a long stalk. Indicas present more often with Capitate stalked tricomes and capitate Sessile while Sativas often appear with the small no stalked bolbous Trichomes. 

Sessile & Capitate Stalked Trichomes - Trichomes with short stalks and bulbous heads that are larger than bolbous Trichomes that are smaller and lack a stalk & capitate stalked have longer Stalks and bulbous heads.

     Trichomes also produce both a clear bubble and amber color. Many growers refer to the extent to which the amber color is & is not present in Trichomes, using different ratios of clear tricomes to amber to determine the number of days until harvest practices begin. That would be the flushing of the plant, preparing it with far red light treatments whatever your approach is. 

Bulbous Trichomes that coat the bud like this, these are typically seen more.in sativa leaning and hybrids around 50/50 with a sativa pull to them, appearing like in the picture above and below as a white fuzz
Visual of the location of cannabinoids and terpenes on Capitate Stalked Tricomes 

.     Pistils,.which is essentially the entire bud in reality, but for clarity sake were referring to pistils as they are referred to colloquially. They are the hair like structures of orange and off yellow color that protrude from the pistillate structure that is known as the bud.

Bolbous Trichomes appear like a powder & can confisensome.novice.growers for being powdered mildew

The bud is actually in totality the combination of the plants reproductive & aromatic producing & cannabinoid producing parts. Indica Pistils tend to have a shorter length and are sort of stunted in appearance often a burnt orange color.

Somewhat stunted Indica Pistil Structure with a lighter than typical color indicating more sativa presence than if they were stunted n dark orange 

Sativa pistils are much more elongated and they stretch much further than the stunted indica Pistils. The White fuzzy hairs on the pistils and the scraggly ends of some.pistil is known as stigma. These combine with the bolbous tricomes to create that fuzzy looking appearance that may indicas have. 

Good example of hybrid Pistils on an Indica Leaning Hybrid strain. You can also see the bolbous Trichomes with lack a stalk and have smaller heads in this cannabis, makes it look somewhat like white fuzz, however, that is different still from the Stigma of the pistils which are also a white fuzz on the pistils. That can be confusing for the expert eye. 

     If you apply this characteristic to the evolution of the plant from its endemic Landrace enviroments it falls in place that the sativa would have elongated pistils. The pistil is there to essentially grab the pollen from the air that is floating by from male plants nearby.

This is a good example.of shape & structure of sativa leaning Hybrid to the sativa side.of 50/50. You can see the knots of the indica starting but it still has the elongated somewhat comical form that spreads to a shapeless flame.shaoed bud, as opposed to an indica lean with elongated bolbous micro structure. 

Now obviously in a humid jungle dense with life and plants these pistils will stretch to increase their likelihood of getting pollen. Compared to the desert arrid dry hot environment of indica endemic landrace territory where the pollen would easily blow about the territory with little vegetation standing between the male and females in the open desert steepe of Afghanistan for example. 

You can see these bright orange fairly long pistils of GMO.  YOU CAN ALSO NOTE THE STRUCTURAL SHAPE OF THIS HYBIRS STRAIN. The bolbous knots elongating and stretching out forming a 3 pronged triangular structure, in opposition to the picture above of a sativa leaning hybrid. Note the individual knots of flower.  

       The way in which the pistils stretch to teach the max amount of pollen also is applicable to the sativa in a generalize sense. The Sativa stretches, that's a good overall thing to remember. The plant stretches up towards the canopy to attain as much light as possible in the position it is in, hence tall skinny sativas. The skinny elongated leaf fingers make sense as you wouldn't want a bunched up foliage in a humid dense jungle so as to properly aerate the plant.

This is a great example of Sativa pistil color with a bit of indica length to them, this also shows how a sativa differs from indica moving towards balance. This semi elongated comical shape maintained but spread and very much lacking a stable shape like the 3 prong triangular indica Hybrids, Sativas have little rhyme or reason to the structure as they hybridize. Note the lack of differentiation of micro structure of the flow

    

Endemic Landrace Enviroments of Sativa Cannabis, dense Thick Jungles with Hot Humid Wet Surroundings bombarded with competition, this more expressive, complex, brighter, exotic presentation, as well speaks to reason for Sativas structural differentiation between it and Indica. 

     So the Sativa Has skinny fingers on the leaves of the plant. This allows for maximum airflow if I am comsiderkng the Evolutionary purpose form this, which adds up given the humid and hot densely packed with vegetation and animal life jungle.enviromemtnofnsatica Landrace. The Environment which sprang forth the sativa genetics do relative to the endemic surroundings. 

Great examples ofmthe Indica vs Sativa Structures of plants from an overall perspective. SATIVAS BUDS GROW ALONG THE STALKS, INDICA GROWS ON ENDS OF THE STALKS. 

     In the same.light, an Indica has the exact opposite. An indica poseses very convex leaf fingers that often touch one another at their apex points on each convex curve of each finger in lamens terms, the leaves touch at their bend to create shade and shadows.well as to keep heat refracting back to the plants important structures in the cold.dry Afghani Steepe Nights.

This is a good image of the buds growing on the ends of the stalks vs the above left growing along the entirety of the branches. This makes some Sativas seem like they have bigger colas but in reality the indica is denser. 

Again, the dense bulbous buds and the leaves acting both as shade and as a blanket are Evolutionarily influenced traits the Indica Micro adapted into from Sativa. We can see evidence of this micro adaptation from sativa to Indica in Terpene presentation. For example the fact that there is a variance in beta Caryophyllene vs trans Caryophyllene presentation, although given that even still beta Caryophyllene maintains sedative qualities even in Sativas like Blue Dream. 

Great example.ofnImdica Leaf Structure acting as Shade and Cover form the cold.in an Afghani Landrace growing in its Endemic Landrace desert steepe environment. 

        

    The current approach to understanding cannabis ia a binary classification system, the most recent one use Terpene pairs, three to be exact to differentiate three types of cannabis presentations. Those are myrcene Limonene, Terpinolene & beta Caryophyllene, & Myrcene pinene pairs. I will be looking into this as a possible man's of furthering my own understanding. Such as is there a Terpene pairing like listed here always present for example in indicas which contain dominant levels of the terpologically sativa oriented terpinolene. 

Another variation for comparing Terpenes that extrapolates on the paired Terpene concept discussed above, linked in NIH reference link & the PUB link

Cheese Wiz Live Resin Batter - 2 Genetic Scenarios 1 Unique Hybrid
Discussing Stoner Nomenclature, Genetics, & CANNABIS strain History

Understanding Cheese Wiz

Terpological Review & Genetics Breakdown 

Koala the Bloodshot here....

    Sincerest apologies for the recent lapse in content. My Internet is currently minimal until I can take care of that were stuck with what I can manage. I figured out how to load the web page rather than the App so I can write this. As the Web Page when logged into through web view then turn it back to phone you can load the webpage without being kicked to the App.

   Now I had to approach Cheese Wiz ABit differently as I still haven't scanned the Confirmation of Analysis as of WRITTING these words, I will and I'll analyze it based upon the information gathered regarding this unique genetic situation.

     Cheese Wiz comes off aromatically as a Gass factory located in a forest of pine thicket and lemon grass, think about all those aromas being dominated by gassy Skunky pine, and this is Cheese Wiz. I personally felt it has a minor sativa onset, all beit maintaining a general calm throughout. The more you smoke, the more the sativa psychoactivity and headiness, squinty eyes even a bit dizziness can occur. Imo this is the result of seeing Myrcene on its own in impeded by Beta or Trans Caryophyllene. When on its own in a profile like this, be it indica or sativa, the Myrcene acts on what is the nature of most sesquiterpenes which is to Proliferate, to aid in transport across some barrier.

ENDOCANNABINOID SYSTEM  NECESSARY FOR HIMEOSTATIC LROCESSES IN OUR BODIES 

     Limonene is extensively used in skincare to proliferate the Dermal layer of the skin. I use Limonene combined with Myrcene in my TERP BOMBS (Bath fizzies) as Limonene proliferates the dermal layer as the salts exfoliate and penetrate muscles allowing the Myrcene to at least act in its scientifically suggested manner as an analgesic. In this way the Terpenes bombs all provide minor skin irritation relief & are safe in the sensitive areas, & From my experiences & my friends there's a major different in the way your skin feels and the relaxation and skin tension easing between Epsom salts and my mixtures of hemp derived Terpenes.

     This is not utilizing the Synergistic nature of Cannabis, as these are isolated and extracted Terpenes, but their independent nature can be combined to work together outside the Endocannabinoid system, grooving the therapeutic application IMO despite the argument over existence or the operation of the ECS. Imo the ESC is an essential Homeostatic system in our bodies that the FDA is well aware has potential to end many of their Drugs. This is why they possess the patent on Non Psychoactive Cannabinoids since 2001. 

   So the Myrcene in Cheese Wiz Being as dominant as it is, just beneath Limonene, leaves for a rather intense onset, again increasing in potency of the experience with more consumption. In addition to increasing this supposedly 50/50 hybrids ability to hype up the jitters, the Myrcene also kicks in the bottom of the lungs and the bronchial tubes like a little boxer going fast bag on your Airway. Beta Caryophyllene has a more full chested pound of a hurt, that doesn't really provoke the spitting smoke cougΠΠΩhing burnt throat, o shit now I'm drooling and ^′Π on saliva and mucus hit. . . This Myrcene alone like this that's what it does.

     And there's not but potent pungency to pump that up, the piney sharp kick, the Slightly sweet smoothness of limonene keeps the Humulene Shiver at bay, so that's a plus on the indica expression of it. 

     The Terpene profile listed on the printout from my Dispensary, The Apothecarium of Cumberland here in Western Maryland, shout out to the real ones working there. It lists:

Humulene 0.53%, alpha pinene 0.25%, limonene 3.02%, linalool 1.17%, beta Caryophyllene 1.70%, 1.33% beta Myrcene, beta pinene 0.44%

     I have to admit here that I was under the false impression the Beta Caryophyllene was lacking in this presentation, however it is not. This doesn't change what I said about the Myrcene hitting in the chest, though it is a very sharp sensation for beta Caryophyllene either way, it's usually a more full chested too much to hold in feeling than an actual thump of a stab, if that's makes sense. Myrcene causes that awful cough exhale that is all mucus ridden and makes your back itch sometimes, just unpleasant. But, the fact that we do indeed have beta Caryophyllene means that I'm not such a nut for findng sedation and a weed nap in the mid to end of this experience, which imo cheesen wiz like this hits obviously as soon as you dab at temp, and it lasts around 4 hours, about an hour being a weed recovery nap.

     But I also like weed naps I always feel super recharged mentally after and very euphoric upon waking. Though that does present a bit of a quandary as to the hyped up sativa jitterines I started to get with too many pulls on the Cheese Wiz. Because I am convinced this starts, yes relaxed and calm but as the buzz creeps.on, by hit 3 or ,4 the intensity of the high is such that bodily euphoria isnt the focus, it's the hyperactive state and paranoid thoughts that start, particularly for novice or inexperienced users.

     Now I'm not exaggerating this or rather don't want to, as it isn't a severe case of this happening but why it is important is because in this 50/50 hybrid argued about amongst cultivators and users of its lean. Some say sativa slightly some say slightly indica. I think I have a reason for the variation in experiences,.though it could be confirmed by seeking the genetic lineages of the syrains from others experiences. I get just a slight indica pull however the Sativas THC potency is what is front and center IMO in Cheese Wiz.

      Typically one would get more immediate relaxation with these levels of Myrcene to beta Caryophyllene ratios, the Myrcene is at prime position to amplify the sedation of beta Caryophyllene and it does do so, as the buzz wears on, ending were in a weed nap. I believe this is heavily likely because the form of Limonene present, as per the aromatic profile IMO is that Limonene which expresses Sativa, not the rindy, orangey, mango lean of Indica Limonene.

       And I have a good reason for this and thinking to back up everything. This takes a very indepth look at the genetics of this Strain. 

     First though the cannabinoid profile Totalling just over 80%. 78.85% THCa, 0.44% THC, 0.29% CBD & and 0.70% CBN.all of this including  my ratio for pinene which ill go over points to this being an indica hyrid, rather than 50/50 which makes it even more to unique in my opinion.

      But it also speaks to the potency with which sativa can play a role.in the experience especially and particularly when the strain at hand is close in proximity to Landrace Genetics, as sativaà being the fire runner of indica, it being a micro adaptation of sativa this adds up sativa would be able to express as such on indica dominance, particularly when close to Landrace, & regardless of the genetic path taken discussed below, the proximity to landrace very high, it is very close to the landrace strains that make it up. 

     The pinene ratios here is

Alpha Pinene 0.25%

  Beta Pinene 0.44%

   =0.44+0.25

   = 0.69% 

    =  0.25%/0.69% : 0.44%/0.69%

      =       0.3623%  :    0.6376%

       =        0.36 ---->0.35%. :  0.6376--->0.65%          =.   0.65% : 0.35% Indica Dominant Hybrid

                                                     = 100% 👍 

          Cheese Wiz Terpologically is 65/35 Indica Dominant Hybrid. 

      Everything this far save my mis reading of the Terpene profile a week ago and believing for this time it had No. Beta Caryophyllene, which led.to some false thinking regarding its role.with THC. WHILE THAT role.is still an issue, as this strain presents that way despite my knowledge of the BCP, IT ISNT as obvious why Cheese Whiz, especially presenting even heavier indica would exhibit sativa hyperactive characteristics in the onset.

   

    The Terpenes present though speak to the indica dominance, we have Humulene, a little.bitnlower than expected in Most heavier leaning indicas, but I also again believe I understand reasoning for this. When you have a presentation so close in proximity to so many Sativa Landrace, even with indica landrace present en masss, the sativa expresses dominant as it's both in sativa and dormant somewhere in indicas microadaptation from sativa, so it stands forth. But doesn't necessarily impact a total shift all the time, and we know this seeing terpinolene dominance in Gorilla.Glue #4 

     This pinene lean Ratio states a lean of 65% Indica and 35% Sativa. And setting the onset of the experience aside, admitting I said it maintained a calm throughout this makes.more sense to me than does comparing this wicked Heavy Hitter with something much more.mellow for a wider range of users like the 50/50 White Grape. I know its a bit of a handful, but cheese Wiz for myself and others I've seen reviews of online, hits with a sativa punch and lulls into an Indica sedation. 

    Stoner Nomenclature is the use of legacy Market experiences, anecdotes, stories, & more & current cultural zitghiest if you will surrounding cannabis culture in America and somewhat internationally,  to express an idea about a strain of cannabis in most cases, that is relatively "Stoner" in its characterization of its nature. Like associating tree with cannabis, at a very basic level. This comes.into play ALOT I'm cannabis nomenclature, naming strains.

    For example, Genetically Modified Organism was the title of GMO, aka Garlic Cookies. Why aka, ? At the time this strain hit the market in legal states out west, there was a News freak out about how big our apples are and why our carrots are not like natural ones, the Genetically Modified Organism discussion, as we know everything Americans consume is genetically.modified from Apples to oranges. Some.modifications are necessary for the food to EXSISt as is, like Bananas, without the genetic modification are super small and seedy. 

     None the less there was a freak out in Society, more of a social discussion but one with a glare on it. Therefore dispensaries weren't willing to bring the News attention to their then supcoming businesses by selling a strain claiming it's Genetic Modification on the label. However, GMO is not actually any more genetically Modified than any other strain of cannabis, it just had an extremely pungent, unique aromatic presence not smelled by the masses before. So the name then, uses the nomenclature to reference the parent Contributing genetics, Garlic Cookies. Cookies is the line and "Brand" of cannabis and it smells like 'Garlic' or imo like a.man who doesnt wear deoderant because "there aluminum!". 

 

      Now l, why am I mentioning all of this in the review for Cheese Wiz? Well when seeking the parent strains for cheese Wiz what I found was interesting. And to be absolutely honest i don't think it would jump out to the average smoker. 

      Google will usually give you a main description, a sort of amalgam of all the data and it finds the best answer online that matches the most submissions. This isn't always accurate, as humans are not always accurate, and cannabis is one space online and in science still Very largely not understood. So your liable to find incorrect Google Definitions of strain lineage so one must be vigilant. This Cheese Wiz In particular, First I saw reddit posts regarding people aearching for the strain lineage and asking the chat on reddit.

      So I modified my search parameters slightly and got an Answer of a Google Definition that Cheese Wiz Is a potent Cross of Cheese x White Widow. I am including a Screenshot right here of this all on one page.

Screen shot genetic lineage
This shows the issue I am talking about. So when faced with this, one needs to start digging into the genetics a bit to figure it out. 

Now one could take this to mean that White widow and cheese are somewhere in the lineage. But the other cross listed is QUESSO PERO X Oz Kush Bx1. And Cheese in Spanish, melted cheese anyway is to the English tongue Quesso. The connection is there, and I don't think it unintentional. 

      I believe that the difference between them can be found by finding all similarities in Genetics, or genetics that could be subbed in and create a similar very indifferent result will reveal that which is Different, ergo revealing the relationship between these approaches. 

   

Cheese / UK cheese
Cheese / UK Cheese
SKUNK🦨 No1 Derivation 

    Rather than detail the entirety of every single strain cross and what isn't present in one vs another if any, I am posting up the genetic maps of Quesso Pero, Oz Kush Bx1, Cheese, & White Widow.  Now Cheese & White Widow are very simple.to recall. Cheese is a Skunk #1 derivation. I remember it easily as Exodus Cheese aka UK cheese was actually on a National Geographic Channel Episode when I was like 13. I remember "this extremely potent marijuana, CHEESE" In the white mans narrators.voice. it was funny to me back then idk why, it's even more humorous now though. 

     White Widow is a cross of Indian Indica and Brazilian Sativa. That's simple. The Quesso Perro and The Oz Kush bX1 is where things go off the rails and get more confusing. 

   Queso Perro is a heavy leaning 65/35 Sativa Dominant Hybrid that is a cross of UK CHEESE x STARDAWG.  So we know that Exodus Cheese is now scratched off that list of similar strains amongst these 2 crossings. What about Stardawg? 

Stardawg
AuroFlower StawDawg 

    Stardawg is a cross of Chemdawg No. 4 x Tres Dog. These strains were bred by Top Dog Genetics. Now, since I am discussing stoner Nomenclature herein; what is the the difference between '...DOG' & '...DAWG?' According to information i can find, thenDAWG genetics refers to more recent potencies CHEMDOG, which has very much a disputed genetic lineage. The potency happenstance here with 'DOG' to ' DAWG' supports what I believe about the US cannabis market & the way the cannabis leans in presentation due to the the illegality of cannabis. Why and what did I just say? 

      Cannabis is very much NOW in 2024 starting to become a more balanced pool here in the United States. The strains have been there, we have the history, but between approximately 1998-2012 or so, cannabis had a particular illicit hayday. This was spurred on by the fact that cannabis from the legallly growing market in California could be obtained all over the US. During prohibition before legalization of States independently began to roll out as it is, California supplied up to 75% o the U.S. cannabis Supply. Because of this, growers were more easily able to obtain seeds and clones from the Legally grown Market, opening their possibilities in cultivation more. 

      Regardless of whether this played a big role how the Illicit cannabis leaned overall, the cannabis from the illegally grown market in states that hadn't decriminalized cannabis extensively enough or legalized increased in potency over that same period, Exponentially. Compared to the previous decades, where a powerful strain would rear it's head now and again, helping many cannabis legends gain their notariaty like Nevelle Shumaker or Mr. sherbinski. These exotic or potent beauties were 1 difficult to come by due to their requirement of extensive breeding, 2 breeding was more complex but arguably led to more stable genetics pre feminization of seeds in late 1980s, & the attainment of genetics was more difficult often requiring the use of "Strain hunters."

     These are still employed by companies to go to exotic areas of the globe to uncover exotic, LANDRACE untouched genetics. There are, to my knowledge at least far less Indica Landrace than Sativa, which also makes sense if indeed Sativa microadapted into Indica over centuries as current science predicts was the case.

      Therefore, obviously the access to people even if it was through the post which became very common who had unfettered access to the current cannabis in ,late 90s through 2012-15 or so made it more easy to expand the illegal markets variety & potency. Again though regardlesa of the Legal Markets influence from far away, cannabis obtained from the illicit Market by the DEA in Drug busts tested as increasing from approxomately 9% in the mid 1990s to over 18% and up to 25% by approximately  2015. This is a study I have in memory, feel free to fact check it. 

Distillation Machinery in DEA Lab Bust of illicit Cannabis Concentrate Manufacturing, see this is there Industry gets what they're making, from the streets, we figured this out, not mainstream science. 

       So what does any of this have to do with Stardawg, Chemdawg and the DOG VS DAWG question? Follow just a moment more. The illicit market due the aforementioned reasons combined and regardless of other extenuating unmentioned influence I believe from my expertise in study of Cannabis as a subject if you will, tends to present more Sativa expressive during this period of time when the potency of THC was seen to be increasing by the DEA busts & CBD seen to be stable. The heightened THC & Lack of CBD speaks to the fact CBD is more prominent in INDICA, this wouldn't increase overall in testing. Sativas on the hand are higher in THC, LOWER IN CBD, ergo all of this supports my observations of the marketplace.

      You can also refer to THE FACT that people in this time period absolutely expected one Smell from cannabis, SKUNK/GAS/PINE/DANK AF....Any hint of herbaceous/ earthy/spicey/woodsy was immediately off-putting to people who were very involved in n the market. I know this oersonally.  Also heavily influenced by the poor quality Mexican Brick Pack that sprawls its deedy stemmy brown yuck across the market before The Cartels stopped pushing cannabis.

 Their technique was brick packing and this left a bad taste in people pallete for indica expressing cannabis. People during that period, a period of cannabis Boom in terms of introduction of new genetics and potencies thereof as well as the understanding of isolation of independent terpenoids/cannabinoids expected dank smell. This pushed growers to pull as little of the earthiness of Indica into the market is possible, not by trying to avoid that really, but rather by seeking the rank. As Sativas are the lean that presents in that way, this led to a potent Sativa dominant market place.

      People did not understand Terpenes the way even people in illegal states do today because there just wasn't the exposure to the market in that way. I have smoked cannabis since.I was 12 & while I remember old-school skunk I haven't smelled.for a long time, I never got those exotic juicy fruits or.oink lemonades until decriminalization and legalization began near me. That market really has no exposure to Terpenes in this way. 

        So, with all of this in mind about the dominance of Sativa presentation in the Illicit Market place, which is admittedly becoming more balanced as of late with more & more states decriminalizing or legalizing cannabis this influences the DOG VS DAWG conversation .DAWG is said to be a later note recent development of the less known about CHEMDOG. In my opinion this makes sense, as Chem the man responsible for this monstrosity of a smash hit was jailed as recently as 2011 for cannabis related activities.

      So the development of CHEMDOG to Chemdawg has taken place precisely during this time period I am mentioning here and always discussing, the 90s and mid 2000s due this times significance to cannabis. The combination of acces through ease of Prohibition & the illicit nature still existing in areas where these two world can converge, as I said even via the mail, LED to development of many potent strains and the knowledge and scienfe of cannabis also began to expode during this period of time.

     Yes, no doubt the Internet was one of the major players in this illicit cannabis development hayday. 

       Chemdog is a unknown genetics and is literally a strain bred during this period from Bag seed. Bagseed simply refers the attainment of seeds through the purchase of cannabis. Today it avoided but in the past, trust me dealers would add seeds to the pot to make it weigh more. If one is going through a lot of cannabis, that 0.3 grams in seeds adds up quickly to a free 1/8 of weed if that bad would happen to teach itself.how to do a backflip. Chemdog cannabis was created by  Greg Krzanowski.

     It was arranged to have 2 Oz. Shipped to him here on the East Coast. One bag was Sensimillla or de sseded and the other contained the 13 seeds that developed into today's CHEMDAWG.  CHEM planted the first 4 seeds in 1991, and of these 4 seeds Chem, had one Male & the common thing for most who didn't understand cultivation well was to trash the males.

      Some old school smokers say that the feminization of seeds just prior to 91 caused a shallowing of the pool genetically and certain strains to be lost, like Roadkill Skunk. The 3 Females grown were labeled Chemdog, Chemdog a which is now Chemdogs Sister aka Chem Sister, and chemdog b. In 2001 chem again attempted to germinate 3 seeds from that original 13 seed stash, of which 1 was a dud, 1 was no good according to Chem & Chemdog e was the keeper.

     In 2006 chemdog & Joebrand, the initial salesman of the 'DogWeed' met up & was given 4 of 6 remaining seeds, and of these came Chemdawg4, as 4 was the keeper. That leaves 2 seeds remaining in Chems stash but in 2011 the hand of the man came down in Chem & he hasn't been heard of from information I have seen since on the scene with Chemdog. 

     Now I suppose it is argued even apparently by The Creator himself.that it was never Chem dawg. However, while I get that he is saying he always named the cannabis Chemdog, the last being effectionately named "the reunion Pheno" I do also believe that the generalized notion from the crowd, yes it carries from place.to place but it was that these newer presentations were more potent and had varrying presentation than the chemdog 91. This people began referring to TooDog Genetics ChemDog with a -w. I think it also makes sense in stoner nomenclaturenas a sort of shoutnto Krazanowlski -w.

 

 

      But the accepted reason amongst those who started using this terminology that even The Creator has spake against, was because they recognized the variation of the strain as new presentation some.even comparing 91' to more sativa lean and later versions to be more indica expressive, leading to differentiating them earlier indica leans from later sativa...at least expression in buzz with DAWG.  So Stardawg uses the strain from Round 2 of breeding in 2001 where 4 seeds led to 1 beautiful Skunky chem factory, Chemdog 4. (Seed D -2001). 

     Tres DAWG IS ANOTHER topDog Genetics strains and crosses ChemDawg (here we see that W I mentioned, so this is more indica in presenting experience hence.people adding the W in later variations of Chems Chemdog 91, like their chemdog 4 in 2001. ChemDAWG is crossed with is crossed with Afghani then this result is crossed over Afghani and this is Double Dawg. So Chemdawg x (ChemDawg x Afghani no.1.) x Afghani 1 is hhh a a crossing over of Afghan Landrace with Afghan Landrace. 

Cheese
Cheese / UK Cheese

       So to recap, Cheese x White Widow. This is Skunk no.1 which derives from (Afghanistan x Columbia) x Mexico, so landrace. Now White Widow is a Landrace cross.of Indian Indica and Brazilian Sativa. So This far, at least with the most basic cross of Cheese Wiz has extensive Afghani & south American Sativa not so much Asiatic, which could speak to the effect I get from Cheese Wiz, that the Sativa doesn't kick hard until I take several hits. The calming aspect of Cheese Wiz, labeled a 50/50 by industry certainly can be tied to this extensive indica Landrace presence. 

Quesso
Cheese x (Cheese x Afghanistan) 

    So Quesso is Cheese x (cheese x Afghanistan) (Mazar-i-Sharif.) However, Quesso Pero uses UK CHEESE x STARDAWG. So it isn't the AFGHANI cross, but UK cheese x Stawdog. 

Cheese

     Stardawg is ChemDawg 4 x Tres DAWG. Tres DAWG is again, a.play at stoner Nomenclature, as it is Chemdog D which is the 2001 variety of Chemdog From Chem & his sister. Remember, the story is 4 seeds led to one male tossed, and 3 females labeled Chemdog (Chemdog91) , Chemdog a (Chems Sister) , and chemdog b. In 2001 chemdog attempted 3 more seed which led to Chemdog D.. Then jn 2006 the Reunion Pgenorypenwas created.  I am reviewing Chemdog bc this seems to be the bit that speaks to me. 

StawDawg 

      While it is certainly true we don't see Chemdog in the pure genetic cross.of.Indian Indica & Brazilian Sativa, we do see the South American genetics present in StawDawg as Grapefruit as well as having Kush genetics that could speak to the lack of that Indian Landrace. Those are the two landrace that stand apart from all the phenotypes.in both of these crosses, Indian Indica and Brazilian Sativa. The approach used here in Maryland By Modern Flower owned by Terrascend Maryland is DEFINATELY the Quesso Perro X Oz Kush Bx1. 

      Quesso Pero is covered now, UK CHEESE x StawDawg, Stardawg Chemdog4 x Tres dawg. Oz Kush Bx1, what does BX 1 MEAN? BX 1 means the production of an F1 hybrid that is crossed.over one of its parent strains. So crossing Oz Kush after attaining it with Either Eddie Lepp or Skittlez. 

     is a cross of OG Eddie Lepp x Zkittles. This reinforces my thoughts that this is the genetics for Cheese Wiz because Zkittles is extensively used in the Maryland Market. I would venture to say it isn't possible to know which parent was used to back cross the Oz Kush. Given that Quesso Pero is 65/35 Sativa, and Oz Kush is crossing two 65/35 Indica dominant Hybrids, OG Eddie Lepp & Zkittles, this but atleast right there adds up to logically equating to a 50/50 lean, if we sort of look at it as the woods not just each tree, meaning seeing it overall, the 50/50 outcome of Cheese Wiz Makes sense. 

       I also have a notion that using Afghani so extensively over and over and over in the same genetics, can lead to allowance for the indica to express it natural makeup derived from sativa and push a fruitiness now and again. Purest Indica is said to have had Thai Slipped.into the genetic formula mentioned at some.point, but given how extensively we've recorded the histories of these strains, I don't think that's the case more likely in my opinion that the extensive Afghani Crossing led.to sativa rearing it's dominant genetic head producing that terpinlene fruitiness hinted at in Purest indica. Completely unrelated aside.from being extensive Afghani Crossing. 

      It is possible that the genetics do not need to be EXACTLY the same to get what comes on across to us as exactly the same strain. I can see where the genetics of Quesso Pero line up side.by side.with the much more.simlified Indica India Brazillian sativa cross in White Widow. But we can achieve that via the Grapefruit south American lineage, as well there is Mexico present in the profile from Cheese. And it is crossed over Afghani x Columbian so those genetics may indeed be able to make up for the difference, Mexican being on its own, crossed over the above. The Columbian & the Mexican would both work in favor of the fact being these are both examples.of Cheese Wiz Parents. 

Cheese Wiz Buds 

      I believe it's completely feasible that both of these parents crosses can equate to Quesso Pero, possible even creating a variation in the lean dominance of this potent 50/50 Very ok interesting and complex hybrid strain.

      Edit - In also have now Ran into a third cross, which is what I initially thought this strain contained a part of this cross when I first seen Cheese Wiz. Because of stoner Nomenclature, WHIZ is the way to spell it so speelling it with WIZ got me considering Blissful Wizard as I Know this Company, Modern Flower & Not many others have used Blissful Wizard and it's precursors.

      However, if it is this cross this is absolutely different, containing OG Kush & Durban Poison Throw back genetics. However, the use of Cookies makes me that much more lean into this cross. I can not find an example for Ajs Cheese, though I did find Ajs Cookies, which crosses 2 forms of GSC. Ergo I would venture to say AJs cheese is Cheese x UK Cheese or some form of Cheese, like and ,F1 crossed over F2. I believe that makes logical sense. So that made this eve more complex. 

       I do not like that industry is hiding the genetics, given that it's always been a canna his culture thing to share these pearls with the community in some way, these companies are hoarding everything regarding strains, given they're developing aside a market created under prohibition I don't agree with this.

Blueberry Yum Yum Reveals A Confirmation Of The Pinene Lean Formula
Making Pinene Lean Make Better Sense - Null 2, Opposition in Totality Correlating to Pure Genetic Lineage Highly Unhybridized

   The Pinene Lean Formula is an significant aspect of the evolutionarily adaptive TERPOLOGICAL Discernment and Assignment Developmental Cannalytic Protocol as it CAN BE a staying point from which to understand the true lean of the strain. Why would I want to change what the industry or your dude tells you? Most cannabis is determined to be Hybrid today and the lean IMO is not applied to the strains as scientifically as they could be, as obviously a confirmation of analysis based lean confirmation is likely more accurate than a guess from punnet squares & knowledge of the parent lineage. The protocol roots out the parent lineage contribution through representation thereof in the Terpene and Cannabinoid expression. 

   The formula is as follows before we discuss YumYum and why it is a premium example to validate at least what I have deemed the null 2 of the Formula. 

           ****PINENE LEAN FORMULA****

            Alpha Pinene + Beta Pinene 

Alpha Pinene = Sativa - Beta Pinene = Indica 

      Alpha/Alpha + Beta : Beta/Alpha+Beta

        Some decimal = % : %---> The Lean 

EXAMPLE:

          Alpha - 0.2.  Beta - 0.5 

               0.2/0.2+0.5 : 0.5/0.2+0.5

                    0.2/0.7 : 0.5/0.7

                    0.29... : 0.7142

                Rounds to 70:30

            Indica Dominant hybrid 

    Now this part may seem a bit different to people but it's the best I have at the moment. When examining the profile Terpologically the first thing I do Is take in the over all Terpene superclass arrangement and which Terpenes are present.

I'm

   For example, if I see Beta Caryophyllene I'm immediately gokng to start with indica expression dominance in my reading. That would change though say if bCP was second to Terpinolene. Terpinoelene is characteristic of Asiatic sativa and thus would lean us moreso back to sativa. And significantly moreso because Sativa is always more impactful on indica expression when seen than is Indica on Sativa. In that I mean your not going to find many Indica presenting Sativas, but there's plenty of sativa forward presenting Indicas with terpinolene dominance.

    It works well though because teroinolene is anxiolytic through calming the mind and helping focus and thus enhances the indica experience moreso in modern cannabis than. It does in Sticks today. I would want to have beta Caryophyllene present in the sativa with the Terpinolene and either have a lower THC level which is less likely in sativa or have the Myrcene leel lowered so the impact of the psychoactive proliferation of ThC to CB1 receptors isn't causing the freak out effect.

    There is a cure for that, which is more beta Caryophyllene or less Myrcene, or alternaticely as I said less THC (Delta 9, so Delta 9 or THCa.) one cam actually ingest Beta Caryophyllene  orally bc it is a dietary Terpene and can be introduced into the Endocannabinoid system through the Gut, where those CB2 receptor sites are which absorb Myrcene to proliferate the sedation of BCP. 

    Remember that Beta Myrcene like all sesqui Terpenes is proloferative by nature, which means it helps transport other molecules, like THC across the blood brain barrier or causing psycjoactive intensification proliferating beta Caryophyllene on cb2 receptor sites with THC causing enhanced sedation. 

      Therefore with all of that, and by observing the bud structure if I wish to include that, or if I'm studying a concentrate which is most often I will look up the strains pictures to study the macro and micro structures of the cannabis because these correlate to the Terpene and cannabinoid expression as well.

    Sativas are fluffy and elongated and indica denser and more.bulbous. as the indica becomes more sativa the bulbous nature begins the triangulate rather equilaterally. As the sativa increases the equilateral nature elongates more and density lessens as color brightens, pistils lengthen and lighten in color, & trichome heads get smaller with sativa but there's more of them usually.

     Indicas trichome heads are typically visible to naked eye and don't look like hair covering like sativa. These characteristics increase or decrease depending on where the pollen falls. Indica pistils are short stunted and darker where sativas stretch like their buds.

     Makes sense evolutionarily in a humid jungle environment to make your pistils elongate to more easily grab pollen, where as an indica in dry cl ok mate wouldn't need this. This is the evolutionarily adaptive aspect of the protocol in action. 

      The micro structure of indica is a smaller version of macro structure while static has a more spikey like micro structure & less of an organized microstructure, often it isn't in knots or gatherings at all but kind of just wound into itself in an elongated fluffy fashion. . . Or spikey. 

Elongated indica with bulbous microstructure.

     Obviously the aromatic presentation is also going to be impacting our decision making before we begin the actual scientific number part of the assessment. Brighter fruitier more vibrant less earthy less spiced fruit lemon and orange notes are sativa.

    Think the expression of the vibrancy of a jungle.

And indica has an orange, but it's much more rank like beer like rank due to one of indica characteristic Terpenes Humulene.  Indica trends to be earthy, herbal, spicey, sometimes orange or a grapefruit lean. Think Afghanistan desert steepe when you think Afghani, hot dry days and cold dry nights. 

   With ALL OF THAT, which is a lot to write but isn't really a lot to do as your acting it out honestly, now we look to the pinene lean. If we see that the answer to the formula is going to go against what all those other indicators are telling us, then we place a big question mark there and start examining further. . . As the answer lay in the profile. To move.on there are two examples of the pinene lean formula not working correctly.

   This is what I have called NULL 1 and 2. NULL 1 is approximation of Opposition and null2 is opposition in totality. The former indicates that there is a somewhat hybridized landrace amalgam of parent genetics that extends beyond a traditional, what I call Hybrid Landrace. A Hybrid Landrace imo isntaking two Landrace and hybridizing them tougher, and this is EXACTLY what YumYum aka Blueberry yum yum is, hence part of  the significance.

   The later is an indicator that the expression of the actual strain is 100% opposite what your senses otherwise tel you outside the lean formula. This is indicative of a total failure of the pinene lean formula. This therefore meanss that there inherently has to be a connection to LANDRACE purity in genetics sinply sue to the nature of the  creation of the formula in its protocol.

    It is a protocol to seek out the landrace expression in hybrid cannabis, and by indicating the failure to correlate to the Terpological association through mathematics even, indicates purity in lineage. Which again Blueberry yum yum Validates. 

     So how is Blueberry YumYum Validating my protocol. ? I just mentioned it above but it needs detailing for people who created to understand to do so. 

    First we look at the Blueberry yum yum parent strains before.doing the protocol this time. I like to keep myself.partially.blind and I usually do tht by not researching the lineage prior to doing the Terpene and cannabinoid discernment.

      This time I just so happened to have looked up the genetics prior to the reading. Upon doing the read I seen tht there is Terpinolene dominance in the weed concentrate at 2.65%  which is immediately followed by Myrcene at 2.15%. the next closest Terpene in thenPrimary heirarchical category  is Limonene at 1.41% & Trans Caryophyllene at 0.84%.alpha Humulene 0.44% Fenchol 0.29%.

      What is missing here for what I would consider a standard Indica.profile, if we take terpinolene out the equation, is Linalool grouped along Humulene. However, the increased Fenchol does in a way makeup characteristically.for tht indica Presence. But we have Terpinolene dominance & Trans Caryophyllene.

      Well the trans Caryophyllene remember isn't a tell either way because it is the most common form of Beta Caryophyllene in nature, so while beta Caryophyllene is expressive of indica in its sedative contribution that doesn't mean Trans Caryophyllene is necessarily only expressive of sativa.  

    Terpinolene here would make one instantly start into sativa thought. But we can't because we know we have Humulene at the standard indica placement around Trans Caryophyllene and Fenchol, as well as practically an entire tertiary level comprised of indica Terpenes: Eucalyptol, bisabilol, borneol,a terpineol.

      Knowing what I do in this moment reading the profile, tht this is a cross of Blueberry And Durban Poison & that it.is labeled as 80/20 INDICA dominant hybrid. I like this considering the level of Myrcene present is one which would cause some jittery mind racing with hyped up THC levels. As low as the Cannabinoid levels may express in Blueberry YumYum, the Terpene profile brings out the experience perfectly and it isn't an unpleasant over powering experience.

     The lower THC level is paired just right with the amped Myrcene that's far higher than 0.84% trans Caryophyllene, over 2x which is approaching Myrcene gets freaky territory. I have discussed the tendency of Myrcene to impact CB1 receptors in certain Myrcene heavy combinations many times. So I'm aware tht even though terpinolene and amped Myrcene and trans Caryophyllene looks sativa on the surface, but I know it's Indica. 

     Now there's reason the strain is expressing so dominantly in sativa characteristic yet pushes off an 80/20 Indica. The proximity to Landrace Characteristics and this is exactly what the Null 2 of thenoineme Lean Formula indicates. We have in Yum yum an Alpha Pinene level of 0.14%. this is the only level present, there is no Beta pinene. This gives us a totality expression, which says that this strain is the opposite of what we already know it is. This means that the protocol that has been developed to find the landrace characteristics amongst hybrids, doesn't work when the proximity to landrace is literally parent genetics.

     A Null1 is when the expression equals an opposite, so 80/20 Sativa which is usually an indicator there is similar.proximity to landrace issue causing this, but it would be more for example, Blueberry x big bud x Purest Indica. That maybe an example of Null 1 lineage. I haven't drawn the exact lines in proverbial sand yet but they're differentiated enough to be novel circumstances in each. 

     The reason I believe there's this circumstance at play is the strains in particular that contribute to the parents of YumYum. Blueberry is a cross.of Afghani (indica landrace) x Thai (sativa landrace) x Purple Thai (Hybrid Sativa). The purple Thai here is where the only complexity in this lineage exists, and speaks the sativa expression present. It is a cross of Chocolate Thai X Oaxacan Gold.

Oaxacan Gold 

     Chocolate Thai is a very pure sativa crossing, and here we hit landrace. Honestly, I would usually arrange this to be a Null 2 answer, I mean rather this what I would expect to see with tht being the case. But the Durban. poison & 2 other landrace make the difference,.particularly the Durban Poison iMO. Oaxacan Gold.Is another sativa Landrace genetics. Knowing the genetics of Purple Thai which I previously was unaware of before this article, it even further more validates both the null presentation but also my past observations and my notations regarding Durban Poison. 

Chocolate Thai 

       Durban Poison is an extremely unique strain of cannabis. It is a landrace strain, but because it was cultivated by the Bantu tribe for both use as a material and as recreational smoking and medicinal / Tribal healing. This means they cultivated it forms centuries just as we cultivated cannabis. And one could imagine they would want a denser than fluffed up landrace. I believe that's partly why Durban Poison has a unique structure apart from most Sativas. It is more bulbous than others, has a darker appearance and even shorter pistil lengths.

Hybrid pistil structure, some.elmngated lighter color and some.stundlted orange, indica dominant hybrid structure 

    The later there, the pistil lengths is of importance because that indicates the weather over time of a plant in an area. Humidity which we would expect in a port city like Durban South Africa, causes elongated pistils as seen in jungle cannabis. The shorter pistil structure speaks to the slightly stivas like slightly indica savannah like environment of Durban Posions endemic Environment. While some may argue it's cultivation by the bantu Tribe makes it a hybridized cannabis, if it is it falls under hybridized landrace IMo. 

You can see Durban Poisons Unique Structural characteristics for a sativa in the lower flowers of the picture above 

     This unique sativa presentation ofnDirban Poison, even presenting a calmer smoking experience than most Sativas, along with the Afghani landrace is what pushed this cross of all these stivas into an 80/20 Indica lean. It also makes me wonder about.further connection between Alpha Pinene and sativa strains present, or a thought I haven't had yet does sativa at higher presence like this with less indica cause the elimination of Beta Pinene in some way. 

      The point of it all is tht the strain is a 80/20 Indica, and my Pinene lean formula cam eto a correct answer indicting tht this is what it is, a strain with so much sativa contribution the indica characterisric is over ridden totally  which also indicates a closeness in proximity to landrace genetics. . . Which he see here in spades. Remember though, this is speaking to the parent contribution of how we arrived where we are at an 80/20 Indica. 

      And it's important to keep in mind that 80 /20 Indica is as about as forward sativa expressing as they come. It is Terpinolene Dominant, even the flavor pallet presentation is a juicy fruit bubblegum like flavor with.an herbal spiced undertone. You really can taste the Myrcene and terpinolene in YumYum. 

      The cannabinoids are a bit more clear as to the lean of the strain. Remembering that heightened DELTA 9:is sativa characteristic and higher CBD is indica, we have 0.92% THC ina lice concentrate which is definitely n indica level of THC. Also we have a super low level of THCa especially.for a live concentrate, which is a total cannabinoid profile of 69.38% and a THCa of 59.65%.

     I say again though, this strain is one I HIGHLY Reccomend to experienced users and non experienced alike because this is a perfect exmplenof Terpenes helping to create the buzz, that the sun is more than whole ofnots parts. We still see Durban Posion making it's THCVa characteristic present, common in strains with Durban as a parent. CBGa is highly increased past the normal indica level of 1.5% in a live concentrate to 4.4%.

      CBG is actually increased to 1.5%. This is sativa characteristic, for sure. The CBDa, CBD, & CBNa all also speak to indica expression. The other cannabinoid is CBCa at 1.47% which is again sativa characteristic. So it almost seems as if the Sativa characteristics are expressing more.in the Cannabinoids than the Terpenes, and the indica is heavily expressed jn the Terpenes. 

 

      If your able to follow my logic along through the genealogy through purple Thai, and the indica in Afghani with the rest of the sativa, but the oddity of the indica like Durban. Poison Landrace sativa. . . .all equating to this unique alagm in the confirmation of analysis. 

 

    I wanted to make a note here that the genetics being referenced in this example of Blueberry YumYum which was actually simply labeled YumYum, is the cross of Blue every x Durban Poison. Even though sweet Blueberry yum yum and the other cultivar do harken back to Durban Poison lineage, I would like to know if they would express pinene.lean as expected. I think it would be a very interesting study to run on the other two types of Blueberry YumYum.
