Vanilla

Properly dried and cured cannabis flowers have a distinct vanilla flavor and pleasant aroma with a pronounced sweet overtone, occasionally highlighted by notes of bitter chocolate, toffee, cream, lavender, citrus, herbs, and spices.

Characteristics

The genetic composition of vanilla cannabis is typical of both indica and sativa hybrids. The mild, sweet flavor and enchanting aroma are due to the following terpenes:

Pinene. A bicyclic monoterpenoid that contributes to a pine or fir-like scent. It also has anti-septic and anti-inflammatory properties.

Humulene. Features a sharp aroma of hops and has an antibacterial action.

Caryophyllene. A sesquiterpene with a spicy, woody, and peppery aroma. It actively interacts with the human endocannabinoid system and helps relieve severe pain of any etiology.

Myrcene. It imparts herbal, earthy, and musky tones to the flavor and aroma. When found above 0.5% in dried cannabis with a predominant vanilla profile, it significantly enhances cerebral effects. Additionally, myrcene is known for its anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties.

Due to the presence of a broad terpene profile, consuming cannabis with a vanilla palette not only contributes to the enjoyment of an exquisite flavor and smooth aroma, but also helps to unwind from the pressures of everyday life.

Please note: Cannabis has an intense odor during the flowering stage. Even an inexperienced "civilian" can easily recognize the smell of weed. If you choose to grow indoors, we recommend that you purchase and install a reliable ventilation system and a heavy-duty carbon filter for your safety and discretion.

Recommendations

If you want to treat your taste buds to a burst of rich vanilla flavor, grow organically. If this approach is not possible for any reason, and you are growing with mineral fertilizers, flush the plant's root system with clean, pH-ed water during the last two weeks of flowering. This allows you to remove all the chemical compounds that have accumulated in the flowers throughout the cycle. Keep an eye on the color of the trichomes and do not miss the perfect time to harvest. To achieve peak potency, determined by maximum cannabinoid and terpene content, harvest when 70-80% of the trichomes are cloudy while the rest begin to fill with an amber-gold color.

The vanilla cannabis strains offered by the KADAMA online store have high germination rates, are genetically stable, feature pronounced complex cannabinoid and terpene profiles, and consistently show excellent results under minimal growing conditions, both indoors and outdoors.
