Sativa Strains Benefit From Amber Resin Glands

      In the 1970s in California all marijuana was dominated by Sativa strains. Sativa is now defined by the level of the terpene Myrcene as well as physical differences, with Indica plants being shorter and stockier, built more like Christmas trees than the lankier, taller Sativa plants. Before OG Kush with high levels of Myrcene dominated the 1990s, growers in California intentionally grew their outdoor Sativa strains to fully Amber glands because the product lasted longer and they got top dollar for it.      If Sativa or Sativa dominant strains are grown until the large capitate-stalked resin glands have formed but are still clear, the “high" will only last about an hour or an hour and a half when smoked and should have higher levels of CBC or CannaBiChrhomene which is the only drug that controls diarrhea without causing constipation. If the resin glands are allowed to turn white not only will the THC or TetraHydroCannabinol be at the highest p...
