A lack of standards for cannabis vape devices puts consumers at risk, but several organizations are committed to the research, collaboration, and solutions needed to promote safety and quality in the industry.
Cannabis genetics fundamentally dictate the plant's potential for chemical signatures, including cannabinoid and terpene profiles, and physical traits, such as yield. Cultivators use selective techniques, such as "stacking," to enhance specific compounds. Ultimately, successful cultivation involves balancing superior genetics with environmental "levers" to optimize gene expression and create targeted strains.
