// Definition
The practice of selecting specific cannabis cultivars for specific end-product applications (vape carts, rosin, flower, melt) based on their terpene profiles, washing characteristics, oil content, and chemical stability rather than using the same cultivar for all purposes.
// From the Episode
Nic Ziegler (Nick) emphasized that not all high-THC cultivars are suitable for vape carts because high THCA levels require longer decarboxylation times that degrade terpenes. He noted that heavy carbohydrate loading at end of cultivation creates thicker waxy cuticles with more apparent trichome coverage but less actual oil content. Bobby (Damn It Bobby) listed S. Irene 18, the Waves from Tsunami Seed Co, and Black Maple from Bloom Seed Co as top performers for solventless.
