Terpenes

The most common terpenes in this Bubba Kush x Black Russian strain are myrcene, limonene, and beta-caryophyllene. These fragrant terps mix for a sweet, earthy pine scent with a hint of coffee. They also synergize with cannabinoids in the body for added therapeutic properties, including pain, depression, and anxiety relief.

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.
