The Terpene Trio: Sativa, Indica, Hybrid
Welcome to the amazing world of cannabis terpenes at Nurse Wellness! This blog is your introduction into the smelly aromatic essences which define effects within cannabis. Whether you are a seasoned enthusiast or just beginning, understanding the nuances of terpenes between various strains of cannabis—Sativa, Indica, and hybrid—can influence your choice of cannabis products to a great extent.
Delving into the Essence of Terpenes
What are terpenes? Besides serving to please our senses, these are the aromatic compounds fundamental to the character of cannabis and its therapeutic effect. Terpenes do more than create memorable aromas; they enhance and alter the effects of THC and CBD through the “entourage effect.” This is the intricate dance between cannabinoids and terpenes, the reason each strain of cannabis affords a totally unique experience in suitable therapeutic or recreational needs.
The Energetic World of Sativa Terpenes
Welcome to the invigorating world of Sativa, where energy and creativity can take flight. Main players include:
- Limonene: Think lemon fresh, and this terpene slices through stress, lifting your mood.
- Pinene: Sharpen your focus while you breathe in the freshness of a forest, clearing the fog of THC.
- Strains like Super Lemon Haze and Jack Herer are full of terpenes and are ideal to take during the day when you need a little bit of energy and alertness.
The Soothing Aura of Indica Terpenes
The indica strains are truly all about good taste for the relief of anxiety and relaxation:
- Myrcene: This terpene is similar to the ground after a rain—musky, tranquil, great for sedation, and relaxation.
- Linalool: This is the floral, peaceful one that’s your pal for clearing the head and slipping into restful sleep.
- Treat yourself to strains like Granddaddy Purple and Blueberry and be wrapped in a shroud of tranquility after a taxing day.
The Balanced Symphony of Hybrid Terpenes
Hybrids combine the best of both Sativa and Indica worlds, with an even balance of terpenes:
- Caryophyllene: Spicy and bold; it could go straight to your body’s receptors and relieve inflammation.
- Humulene: Earthy and mild, it complements caryophyllene in the quest to reduce inflammation.
- Look through varieties such as OG Kush and Girl Scout Cookies, which provide a balanced effect and are self-adjusting to your liking throughout the day.
Finding the right cannabis strain for you is quite an art, not a science, but there are several steps to help you along the way:
Chase Your Desired Effects: What are you seeking from cannabis? Are you looking to relax, relieve pain, gain mental clarity, or perhaps just experience an emotional lift? Know your desires to guide your strain choices.
Estimate Your Experience Level: Your history of cannabis is what shapes your tolerance. Newbies may gravitate toward more subtle THC and higher CBD strains, while seasoned warriors may be ready to tiptoe into more potent territory. Embark on Trials: Because everyone’s reaction is different, you have to experiment with a few strains to discover personal harmony.

Important Product Notes
There is supposed to be air at the top of the tank. When the cartridge is made, the oil is poured to the top of the glass tank and capped quickly to prevent leaking. Over time the oil gradually soaks into the coil area creating space at the top of the tank. This can be as much as 40% of the total amount, which can make tanks appear partly unfilled while actually containing a full amount of product. Keep at room temperature and upright to prevent leaking. Keep out of sunlight and in a cool, dark place for the longest life of product. Products may go bad or lose their potency if subjected to extreme heat or sunlight for long periods.
There are small amounts of variation in our batches. To account for this our 1ml packaging will say “approximately 900mg ∆8THC” to be conservative. However, our products may test lower or higher.
Cannabis Derived Terpenes
These terpenes are taken directly from the cannabis plant. CDTs tend to have a more potent smell and also a wider variety of compounds and terpenes in them than botanical-derived terpenes. This is typically better for those looking for a more well-rounded “entourage effect”. We use 2 different styles of cannabis-derived terpenes and their production methods are different enough that users typically report them having distinctly different taste profiles.
Cannabis Derived Terpene Style 1
This method uses a hydrocarbon extraction on fresh, never frozen cannabis material. Terpenes are fractionally separated from the initial hydrocarbon extraction and pieced back together. While this method is fully cannabis-derived, it can produce a sweeter-tasting terpene that can really bring out the fruit and food-type flavors within the plant.
Terpene strains that fall within this category are: Berry White, Blue Dream, Gary Payton, Gelato 41, Granddaddy Pluto, Grenadine, Ice Cream Cake, Lemon Gelato, London Pound Cake, Melonatta, Orange Cookies, Pancakes, Pineapple Cake, Pink Rozay, SFV OG, Snowman, Sunset Sherbert, and Super Charger.
Cannabis Derived Terpene Style 2
This method uses a proprietary extraction method on fresh, never frozen cannabis material. Terpenes are taken directly from the material and used “as is” versus being fractionally separated and pieced back together. This method will not have the sweetness or enhanced fruit/food flavors as the first CDT options and is typically described as an earthier/more herbal taste that is truer to the flower.
Terpene strains that fall within this category are: Blackberry Kush, Cali-O, Clementine, Garlic Jam, Gods Gift, Golden Ticket, Guava Jam, Jack Herer, Lemon Crush, Lemon Fuel, Mimosa, Northern Lights, Orange Cream, Pineapple OG, Remedy OG, Sour Tangie, Super Lemon Haze, Tahoe OG, and WiFi OG.
