Clone Wars: What’s New in Cloning

There are many ways to take clones from a cannabis plant, and new methods are popping up constantly. One of the most tried and true methods of cloning is to use individual clone domes to sustain the high humidity environment needed for rooting. While clone domes do the job pretty well, it can be extremely time consuming to maintain all of these separate domes in a commercial facility. To address the common issues of clone domes, Athena recently developed their VPDomes.   “Achieving the optimal VPD for plants allows them to properly transpire, uptake nutrients, uptake CO2, and prevent stress….

Liquid Gold: What Makes Distillate So Special?

Cannabis distillate is a staple in the cannabis industry—used in everything from edibles and tinctures to vape cartridges. In simple terms, “distillate” is just a fancy science word for something that’s been cleaned and purified through distillation. Think about it like this: Distilled water? You boil water into vapor, then condense that vapor into a clean container—pure H₂O. Distilled alcohol (like liquor)? Same idea—boil, condense, collect. THC Distillate? Yep, you guessed it—boil THC into vapor, condense it back into a pure liquid, and collect it in a sterile container. The result? A clear, potent, and highly refined cannabis extract. Here’s…

Diamonds are forever

Diamonds and sauce is a popular form of cannabis concentrate known for its potency and flavor. It’s made by extracting THC and terpenes from the plant, then placing them under specific conditions where they naturally separate. From there, the THC forms crystals—these are known as “diamonds.” What’s left is a terpene-rich liquid called HTE (High Terpene Extract), or “sauce.” You can keep them together or separate them, depending on the product. Some companies sell just the diamonds or sauce on their own, while others package them together in jars or vape carts. Diamonds are one of the longest-lasting concentrates because…

Praying Plants: What Does it Really Mean?

If you look around on the internet for “the cause of praying leaves” you will find a ton of conflicting opinions. Many say it is a stress response to too much light, too little humidity, or too much water. These all cause the plant to increase its need for transpiration, so the plant’s response is to curl up its leaf edges to open the stomata as much as possible. This stress response is recognizably different from “praying” leaves, but is often conflated with the latter in the online debate. I found an article on turgor pressure and why plants pray,…

The Chosen One: Terpinolene

Terpenes are the plant compounds responsible for smell and flavor in cannabis. They also play a strong role in the therapeutic effects of weed and are well known for their role in the “entourage effect,” which enhances the benefits in comparison to cannabinoids by themselves. Of these compounds, the most commonly abundant ones you will find in cannabis are myrcene and caryophyllene. While there are a few other common terpenes in bud like limonene and pinene, we aren’t here today to talk about the common terps. We’re here to talk about one of the rarest terpenes in cannabis, Terpinolene. “Terpinolene-dominant…
