// Definition
A visual lab report format developed by Ryan Lee (Chimera) for SC Labs that uses colored graphs to present cannabinoid and terpene data in an intuitive, accessible way. The top three terpenes are represented as color bars that consumers can learn to recognize by pattern.
// From the Episode
Ryan Lee explained that PhytoFacts was designed to address the problem of lab reports being rows of incomprehensible numbers. The format uses a color-coded system where consumers can visually identify terpene profiles without understanding chemistry. It was particularly useful for breeding, allowing comparison of plants with identical terpene profiles but different cannabinoid contents. Lee noted it was adopted by SC Labs but acknowledged it would need evolution to capture rare compounds like selinadiene.
