They are responsible, among many other things, for giving plants those very particular <strong>aromas and flavors<\/strong>. This applies not only to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gbthegreenbrand.com\/224-cannabis-seeds\"><strong>different varieties of cannabis seeds<\/strong><\/a>, as we can find terpenes in multiple species of the plant kingdom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is a wide diversity of terpenes, each with an <strong>exclusive chemical structure<\/strong>, which are what provide the unique and exceptional smells and aromas to plants. In the case of cannabis plants, terpenes are found in the <strong>trichomes<\/strong> and have various functions, which we will explain later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Terpenes are made up of <strong>carbon and hydrogen atoms<\/strong>, specifically, repeating isoprene units. <strong>Isoprenes<\/strong> are the union of <strong>5 carbon atoms<\/strong>. Thus, depending on how many isoprene repeating units are in the plant, there will be a predominance of one type of terpene or another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Structure_of_terpenes_according_to_isoprenes\"><\/span><strong>Structure of terpenes according to isoprenes<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We can find different types of terpenes in the cannabis plant depending on the number of isoprene units they are composed of:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Monoterpenes:<\/strong> composed of two isoprene units. Since an isoprene is the union of five carbon atoms, monoterpenes are the conjugation of 10 of these atoms.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Sesquiterpenes:<\/strong> composed of three isoprene units, that is, 15 carbon atoms.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Triterpenes:<\/strong> composed of six isoprenes, which means it is a set of 30 carbon atoms.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>There are many other combinations of isoprenes since, as we have already mentioned, they are not only found in cannabis plants, but also in multiple species of the plant world. However, most of the terpenes found in <strong>cannabis plants<\/strong> are <strong>monoterpenes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Terpenes have high <strong>organoleptic qualities<\/strong> in plants (referring to aroma and flavor), although they can also <strong>define their effect<\/strong> along with cannabinoids. We already know that cannabis plants work very well under the so-called <strong>entourage effect<\/strong>, meaning that all their qualities work better <strong>in synergy<\/strong> than in isolation. Thus, we can understand that the effects produced by cannabinoids are complemented, in part, by the qualities offered by terpenes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Functions\"><\/span><strong>Functions<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Terpenes have <strong>various uses<\/strong> for the plant. Although the most characteristic thing about terpenes is the distinctive aroma they provide, their main function is to <strong>protect the plant from external agents<\/strong>. That smell and aroma that we humans find so attractive generates the opposite effect when it comes to <strong>predatory insects<\/strong> or <strong>herbivorous animals<\/strong>. The smell often acts as a repellent for these animals that can attack the plant. And not just the smell, but the <strong>resin<\/strong> (where terpenes are also found) is responsible, in the same way, for <strong>trapping insects<\/strong> that approach the plant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They not only perform the function of protecting the plant from animals, but also from <strong>extreme temperatures<\/strong>. For example, they are responsible for <strong>regulating the plant&#8217;s humidity<\/strong> to prevent it from being in drought or excess moisture. Consequently, it also helps the plant <strong>prevent fungi and bacteria<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Terpenes are found in greater quantities in <strong>female cannabis<\/strong> plants that have not yet been pollinated. While they can repel predatory insects, they also have the ability to <strong>attract pollinating insects<\/strong>. However, the amount of terpenes varies according to the genetics and cultivation conditions of each plant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Some_terpenes\"><\/span><strong>Some terpenes<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are around <strong>120 terpenes<\/strong> identified, although most of them have been found in such low doses that their effects are very low or null. Thus, the terpenes found in <strong>greater quantities<\/strong> and which, therefore, produce a noticeable effect, are the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Limonene\"><\/span><strong data-wp-editing=\"1\">Limonene<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Known for its <strong>citrus<\/strong> aroma and flavor, it is present, above all, in fruits like lemon or orange, although also in mint and rosemary. But it is also in marijuana, and in large quantities.

The <strong>flavor and aroma<\/strong> it provides, as we can deduce from its name, is <strong>pine-like<\/strong>. Among its <strong>therapeutic effects<\/strong>, pinene is considered anti-inflammatory and antibacterial, among many others.

They <strong>act in synergy<\/strong> with the cannabinoids of our marijuana plant (such as the <strong>CBD<\/strong> available in our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gbthegreenbrand.com\/598-cbd\">CBD Store<\/a>, <strong>THC<\/strong>, <strong>CBG<\/strong>, or <strong>CBN<\/strong>). Thus, the type of predominant terpene will vary <strong>according to the variety of cannabis plant<\/strong> in question, whether it is indica or sativa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>We already know that the effects that the most indica varieties can provide are more relaxing than those of sativas, and in this aspect, the type of terpenes found in them also influences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thus, in <strong>indica genetics<\/strong>, we will find much higher percentages of <strong>myrcene<\/strong>, accompanied by <strong>low amounts of pinene or limonene<\/strong>. It is because of the high amounts of myrcene that the effect is so <strong>physically relaxing<\/strong>, in conjunction with the cannabinoids the plant has, thanks to the aforementioned entourage effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For their part, <strong>sativa genetics<\/strong> or those with sativa dominance may also present <strong>high doses of myrcene<\/strong> as a dominant terpene <strong>along with pinene and terpinolene also in abundant doses<\/strong>. However, some sativas with dominance of the latter terpenes will also be observed. These will be responsible for providing us, together with the cannabinoids, with a <strong>mostly euphoric and stimulating effect<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A good example of a sativa with a marked aromatic profile is <strong>Sour Diesel<a href=\"https:\/\/www.growbarato.net\/royal-queen-seeds-feminizadas\/3587-sour-diesel.html?utm_source=chatgpt.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> <\/a>by Royal Queen Seeds<\/strong>, known for its citrus character with an earthy background and creative effect. Likewise, Zkittlez Strain is well known for its sweet and fruity character, and for how that set of terpenes gives it a very recognizable identity compared to other varieties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Properties\"><\/span><strong>Properties<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Terpenes are the main constituent of <strong>essential oils used in aromatherapy<\/strong>.

Thus, we can say that the use of terpenes in aromatherapy has <strong>medicinal and therapeutic properties<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"738\" height=\"487\" src=\"https:\/\/www.growbarato.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/aromaterapia.jpg\" alt=\"aromaterapia \" class=\"wp-image-46237\" title=\"\u00bfQu\u00e9 son los terpenos?
