Terpenes
Terpenes are another type of compound that is found within the cannabis plant. These compounds are present throughout nature, and every plant has a unique combination of terpenes that gives rise to different flavors and fragrances, which is why different strains of cannabis vary in smell and taste.
Beta-Caryophyllene
Humulene
Limonene
Flavonoids
Flavonoids are one of the lesser-known compounds in cannabis, and little is known about the flavonoids present in each strain because they are rarely tested. Like terpenes, flavonoids add to each strain’s flavor and fragrance profile.
Studies have shown that the major flavonoids present in all cannabis plants are cannflavins A, B, and C.

Medical Applications
Cannabis contains anti-inflammatory and analgesic compounds that can help reduce or distract from pain, including THC, CBD, and beta-caryophyllene.
Cannabinoids like CBD can help modulate serotonin transmission, giving it anti-depressant and anxiolytic effects.
THC and CBD interact with the endocannabinoid system to relieve some of the pain and other symptoms associated with chronic fatigue syndrome.
THC can stimulate the release of the sleep neurotransmitter, adenosine.
Dosing
Bay Platinum Cookies boasts a very high THC content — up to 23% — so this strain isn’t recommended for novice users. Due to its potency, even the most experienced users are encouraged to proceed cautiously.
Dosing depends on your tolerance, and taking it slow with this potent strain is beneficial to ensure “green out” doesn’t occur. However, for the more experienced cannabis user, this strain provides a pleasant and energizing high.
Growing
Bay Platinum Cookies is a moderately complex plant to grow; however, it may be a welcome challenge for some growers. If done right, this plant rewards with a moderate to high yield and colorful buds that can send you into a spacey and fantastic high.
Height
Bay Platinum Cookies reaches around 51 inches (129 cm) when fully grown. However, these plants can be a little more challenging to grow than others, so some growers may struggle to get their plants to reach this height.
As with other cannabis plants, regular topping is required to ensure bud clusters don’t form. This process involves cutting the main stalk to encourage more bushy growth. Pruning is also required to remove dead parts, and the living portions have adequate light exposure and airflow.

Bay Platinum Cookies prefers warm weather between 68 and 80 degrees F (20 and 27 degrees C). These plants thrive in indoor growing environments, often generating large resinous buds. They do exceptionally well in greenhouse environments, growing to huge and dense sizes.
Flowering
Bay Platinum Cookies takes around eight to nine weeks to flower and has a moderate to high yield depending on the harvesting method and the plant’s health. If the plant is healthy and grown under the right conditions, Bay Platinum Cookies can yield between 3 and 6 ounces per square foot.
