Strawberry Strains

What Makes a Strawberry Strain?

The defining feature of a strawberry strain is its terpene profile. Strawberry genetics express a ripe, sugary strawberry aroma, which comes through strongest when flowers are dried slowly and cured for three to four weeks in sealed jars. Rushed drying strips the volatile terpenes that carry the aroma, so even the right genetics underperform without a proper cure. When shopping strawberry seeds, look at the dominant terpenes listed on each strain page, not just the name, since marketing names don't always match the real aromatic profile.
