Best woody flavored weed strainsBest woody flavored weed strains

Woody terpenes are often linked to comforting and familiar scents, whether they evoke memories of a forest hike, a woodworking shop, or burning incense. Unlike pine-scented strains, wood-fragrant varieties can showcase a diverse range of aromas, including cedar, cypress, sandalwood, and redwood. Nerolidol is the primary terpene responsible for these woody notes, though additional secondary terpenes contribute to the distinct scent. In general, Indica strains are more likely than Sativas to feature this terpene profile, often resulting in a more calming and relaxing experience.

Frequently asked questions

What are woody strains?

Woody cannabis strains refer to all weed strains that produce a distinct woody aroma and flavor, often reminiscent of forest floors, or earthy, timber-like notes. These aromas are the result of the strain’s specific terpene profile, which is responsible not only for the aroma but also flavor profile and type of effect. Woody strains can be Indica, Sativas, and Hybrids with slightly different or completely different effects yet all share the woody terpene profile with relaxing and focused properties.

What do woody-flavored strains look like and how do they grow?

The appearance and growth structure, among other things, of woody-flavored strains depends on the specific genetic lineage. However, most woody strains lean towards Indica genetics which often results in shorter, bushier plants with oftentimes purple and blue undertones if exposed to lower temperatures during the flowering stage.

What are the effects of woody weed?

The effects of woody weed depend on the strain’s specific cannabinoid and terpene profile, however, woody strains are often associated with relaxing and calming effects that provide mental focus, elevate your mood and can help alleviate pain. 

How strong the effects feel depends on the strain’s THC and CBD levels, plus how they team up in what’s called the entourage effect. Weed hits everyone differently, but, in general, strains with high THC and low CBD tend to hit harder, while those with less THC and more CBD lean toward gentler, healing benefits without much of a head rush.

Which terpenes give woody weed its aroma?

That woody scent and taste comes from terpenes like Humulene, Caryophyllene, Pinene, and Myrcene. The exact mix depends on the strain and how it’s grown, though. Some might offer a zesty citrus twist or a dash of sweetness, but the woody background is present no matter what.
