THC potency – the higher, the better – is still the most important factor to consumers shopping for marijuana products, cannabis operators say, but secondary factors also are driving genetics trends at cultivation facilities across the United States.
In addition to high-THC, high-yield cultivars, experts in the cannabis industry say consumers are becoming increasingly interested in:
- The terpene profiles of cannabis products.
- Legacy strains bred with high-THC marijuana cultivars.
- Minor cannabinoids such as THCV and CBN.
