About this profile

Panda Kush is strongly caryophyllene-led: caryophyllene makes up roughly 49% of its measured terpenes, with humulene and limonene behind it. Those lead terpenes are usually described as peppery spice (caryophyllene) and woody, hoppy notes (humulene). Looking at the numbers, THC averaged 19%, toward the lower end of the library, and total terpenes averaged 2.4%, toward the upper end of the library. With 30 lab samples, all from Nevada, this is one of the better-documented profiles in the library.
