🧬 Terpene Profile

Terpenes give Romulan its distinctive aroma and contribute to its effects through the entourage effect.

Pine, fresh, earthy. May promote alertness and memory retention. Acts as a bronchodilator (opens airways). Found in pine needles, rosemary, and basil.

🫚MyrceneSecondary

Earthy, musky. The most abundant terpene in cannabis. Promotes relaxation and sedation. Also found in mangoes and hops — eating mango before consuming cannabis may intensify effects.

🌶️CaryophylleneSecondary

Spicy, peppery. The only terpene that also acts as a cannabinoid, binding directly to CB2 receptors. Strong anti-inflammatory properties. Also found in black pepper and cloves.

Outdoor run in full sun. She got massive — had to stake the main branches. The cure took 3 weeks and the smell is absolutely incredible. Worth every minute.

Grew this in a 4x4 tent under LED. Stretched more than expected but structure was solid and trichome development was beautiful. Dense frosty buds at the end.
