<span class="link_user">@GrowDiaries</span>, , You totally missed the point. A single dominant terpene is only partial information and not useful. That&#039;s like saying the dominant ingredient in a soft drink is water! It doesn&#039;t tell us anything about the soft drink! The most dominant 3 terpenes of a strain at minimum are needed to get a more accurate picture. The vast majority of commercial cannabis is going to fall directly into 3 distinct terpene profile groups, which leafly calls cluster 1, 2 and 3 because of the commercial hybrid blender that&#039;s shaping cannabis genetics by market trends, and not wise breeding practices. Why not make 4 categories. One for each common terpene profile, and the 4th for the truly unique cannabis? This will simplify the classification from looking at everything singularly, to seeing a few obvious groupings. If you are unable to compete with the competence level of leafly... why willingly fail knowing your effort will be sub-par? What&#039;s the point when it&#039;s obviously it&#039;s more beneficial for people to go elsewhere to get the most useful information? I think most everyone serious would want the best information possible. Time and resources have already been wasted in making these lackluster superficial changes on growdiaries. Those resources could have went into something else. Whoever made that decision is locking people in to anecdotal, subjective descriptions, and air castles from sales departments. I don&#039;t consider that helpful to people. Actually it&#039;s more harm than good. Also a switch to normal plant breeding terms that can distinguish between an unstable unpredictable hybrid and an actual strain would help tremendously. Imagine common terminology that makes concise communication possible, ending a lot of chaos and confusion that is rampant here. A seed that results in high variation isn&#039;t going to have the same chemical compounds in each unique plant. In truth, without being deceptive, all one can say is: we tested some of these hybrids and this is what the results were, but we can&#039;t say this is what you will actually get because the hybrid is unstable and will have variations between plants. If it&#039;s a true breeding strain, yes, then one can say what is actually there consistently and reliably. This is what medicine is, an actual strain with known reliable characteristics. It&#039;s time to take peoples suffering and need for medicine seriously, and stop catering soley to people that buy blindly based on subjective opinions or whatever is hyped up at the moment through marketing and advertising campaigns. These descriptions you want to pay close attention to are what? Mostly subjective and anecdotal if not total fantasy. The genetic lineage? How are you making that accurate? Which DNA testing lab is working with you to figure this out? That must be a massive project. Surely you aren&#039;t just believeing parroting claims of others... right?

<span class="link_user">@UnorthadoxDude</span>, Thank you! I ended up with 2 that had not made any visible roots so I put those in the compost waste. Overall I&#039;m happy with the result. I knew not all of them would root here in my situation and I factor that in with the number of cuttings used.
