When it comes to cannabis, growers and enthusiasts are constantly on the lookout for unique and exclusive strains that offer exceptional terpene profiles and bag appeal. While the world of cannabis has come a long way from the days of limited availability and limited choices, there are still a few strains that stand out as truly exclusive and sought after by connoisseurs. But how do you distinguish noise from true signal?
Too much hype?
The hype around cannabis strains is real, and it’s no wonder why. As the cannabis industry continues to grow and evolve, strains that offer unique and exceptional experiences are in high demand. Whether it’s the high potency, distinct flavors, sought-after genetics, or limited availability, “exclusive” cannabis strains have become a proxy for quality and luxury in the cannabis world.
The hype surrounding exclusive cannabis strains is not just about novelty or bragging rights. These sought-after varieties have become a symbol of quality and craftsmanship in the cannabis industry. Growers and breeders put in countless hours of research, experimentation, and meticulous cultivation to create unique and exceptional strains that stand above the rest.
The exclusivity of these strains also adds to their appeal. Limited availability and small production quantities make them highly coveted among cannabis connoisseurs. Being able to experience a rare and exclusive strain can be a thrill for enthusiasts who enjoy exploring the different flavors, aromas, and effects that cannabis has to offer.
Additionally, the cannabis community has developed a culture around strain hunting and collecting. Like rare wine or aged whiskey, having a collection of unique strains has become a hobby and a way to showcase one’s knowledge and appreciation for the plant. In this sense, the hype around cannabis strains serves as a driving force for innovation, pushing growers and breeders to constantly strive for new and exciting variations.
However, it is essential to approach the hype and exclusivity of cannabis strains with caution. While they can offer exceptional experiences, it is vital to remember that personal preferences and individual body chemistry play a significant role in how a strain affects each individual. What works well for one person may not have the same effects on another. It’s important to approach cannabis strains with an open mind and to experiment responsibly, starting with low doses and gradually increasing as needed.
Finally this hype has become a distraction, where some industry players put names on unverified genetics, spray buds with artificial flavors and even use colorants to fake bag appeal. The hype is starting to have nefarious effects on the space.
Find True Signal!
Aside from the sometimes unjustified and completely made up hype, growers and breeders manage to find signal, but one has to look hard and sift through all that noise. That’s why we decide to release a unique tool in the industry: The Third Eye.
The Third Eye shows you sold items during all of Strainly’s history and allow you to compare prices. You can enter any strain name and it will show you how many times the genetics have been sold, under the form of seeds, clones or even pollen. It will tell you when those transactions took place and how much did the genetics sold for. All of that is indeed made anonymous and no one can see who was involved in those transactions.
So if you want to get an idea of whether a strain is being chased right now, or whether the hype is fading and other strains are becoming more popular with breeders and growers, Strainly’s Third Eye feature helps sorting the noise from signal.
Here’s the quick glance. Enjoy!
