Terpenes
Terpenes are naturally occurring compounds found in trace amounts in cannabis. They’re located in the trichomes of cannabis plants and contribute to their pigmentation and the unique aroma of the bud.
Levels of terpenes are variable, as they depend on many factors, like whether the plant is grown indoors or outdoors, how much it’s exposed to light, its nutrient levels, and when harvesting occurs.

Cannabinoids like CBD can help modulate serotonin transmission, giving it anti-depressant and anxiolytic effects.
Cannabis contains anti-inflammatory and analgesic compounds that can help reduce or distract from pain, including THC, CBD, and beta-caryophyllene.
THC and CBD interact with the endocannabinoid system to relieve some of the pain and other symptoms associated with chronic fatigue syndrome.
Dosing

The silver lining is that the high comes on quite suddenly, so you will know if you can handle increasing doses. Start slow, no matter your tolerance.
Growing
The Bacio Gelato strain is challenging to grow. It requires high-intensity light and low humidity conditions, which can be hard to maintain. It’s also susceptible to fungi and overwatering. Growers prepared for the challenge will enjoy the benefits of this potent strain.
