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.
Beta-Caryophyllene
Ocimene
Humulene
Pinene
Linalool
Myrcene
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
Cannabinoids like CBD can help modulate serotonin transmission, giving it anti-depressant and anxiolytic effects.
THC can stimulate the release of the sleep neurotransmitter, adenosine.
Cannabis contains anti-inflammatory and analgesic compounds that can help reduce or distract from pain, including THC, CBD, and beta-caryophyllene.
Cannabis contains many anxiolytic (anti-anxiety) compounds that can beat stress and reduce the production of the stress hormone cortisol.
Utilizing CBD and other phytocannabinoids and terpenes in cannabis may help replace the lost endocannabinoids, helping treat pain and mood disorders associated with NF1 gene mutations. Using THC may help boost dopamine levels in the brain.
Medical cannabis may also help reduce the intake of stimulant medications. Terpenes like beta-caryophyllene and limonene may be beneficial for reducing the intake of stimulants and addiction in general.
Cannabis’ potential neuroprotective effects could help protect against retinal toxicity, and cannabinoids like THC have been shown to lower intraocular eye pressure.
Dosing
Many factors influence how much of a particular cannabis product you should take, depending on the effects you’re after. When using Bettie Page for the first time, you may want to take things a little bit slower than you usually do. At the same time, you figure out your tolerance to reduce the likelihood you’ll experience uncomfortable adverse side effects.
Growing
Before you begin, there are a few cannabis growing essentials for you to learn if you’ve never grown cannabis before. Bettie Page seeds aren’t sold commercially, so you’ll need to get some clippings to grow a clone of an adult plant if you want to grow your own. These can be grown inside or outside depending on the climate conditions where you’re growing.
Height
Bettie Page plants grow to be short and stout, reaching heights between 30 and 80 inches (76-203 cm) depending on growing conditions.
Humidity and Temperature
The ideal humidity for your Bettie Page plant depends on what stage of its life cycle it’s in. Seedlings, for example, should be kept at humidities of about 60%, while plants in the vegetative stage can manage anywhere between 50% and 70%. When the plants start flowering, they need to be a little drier at 50% humidity to prevent them from attracting molds that can be toxic and damage the plant.
Flowering
The plants should begin to flower in about 57 days and can be ready to harvest after 66 days. If you’re not sure it’s ready, the color of the pistils and trichomes can be a useful indicator of whether the buds are ready to be harvested.
