Do you have some info on what terps tend to be associated with sativa and which with indica? This is an interesting point if there seems to be a pattern!
- GordonS 4y agoUnfortunately in the UK medical market, clinics/dispensaries/growers don't have to provide patients with terpene profiles. Still, some CoAs (Certificates of Analysis) are made available, and the rest you can sometimes figure out from the likes of Leafly. For me, I'd say terpinolene, limonene and pinene tend to be dominant in the stimulating sativas I've had, where caryophyllene and myrcene take their place in indicas. But it's no simple challenge, as non-dominant terpenes exert an influence too - and there can be dozens of them. And just to make it an even harder problem, it also seems to vary to some degree from person to person. I seem to recall seeing Leafly's data in Kaggle, might be worth a look if you want to dig in!
