More About the Biscotti Strain: Nutty and Sweet

Biscotti seeds grow into really cool-looking plants. The medium to tall plants are packed with THC and feature a mix of dark and light green leaves sprouting out of dense and dank buds. Every inch of these plants is covered with white, resiny trichomes. You can thank those trichomes for the flavor and aroma that the strain produces. You will see that amber hairs are growing out of the green and purple buds. After the harvest, you are left with deep green and orange nuggets that are super leafy and easy to break apart. If a strain’s resume is something you consider when choosing whether or not to grow it, then you will appreciate that the Biscotti strain won a Gold Medal at the California State Fair for having the highest THC content. It has also won international awards in places like the Netherlands, making it a high-pedigree strain that more and more growers are adding to their gardens. Biscotti variants have taken home Cannabis Cup awards, making the OG Biscotti strain a Cup winner by proxy. This strain has a lot to brag about in the marijuana universe.

Biscotti Growing Tips

Biscotti can be grown indoors or outdoors, provided you are diligent in controlling the conditions needed to maximize its potential. Intermediate growers should have no problems bringing this strain to harvest. Since successfully growing Biscotti is dependent on many factors, such as light, temperature, and humidity, carefully choosing whether to grow indoors or outdoors is important. Biscotti needs a warm climate in both grow settings.

An outdoor environment meeting the requirements may produce a higher yield than growing indoors, providing there is adequate natural light and space. When growing Biscotti indoors, the temperature and humidity should be kept the same as if it were outdoors. Lighting is the major factor in maximizing yield when growing indoors.

Dial in Your Growing Conditions

• Indoor or Outdoor: Biscotti cannabis plants can be grown indoors and outdoors by experienced growers. The ideal temperature for these plants is 70-85 degrees Fahrenheit. During the vegetative stage, Biscotti needs a minimum of 18 hours of light per day for a few weeks to maximize growth. It is then recommended to switch the lighting to a 50/50 regime between light and darkness to stimulate the flowering stage. Dropping the temperature and humidity slightly at this point can be beneficial.
•  Moisture control: In terms of humidity levels, you’ll want to set it for 50-70% during the vegetative growth stage. To get the plants through to the flowering stage, you will need to drop the humidity to a steady 50% so that you don’t find mold or bud rot on your plants.
• Training Techniques: Methods like Low-stress training and Scrogging are beneficial with this strain. The idea is to get light and air to hit every level of the plant. When the plant grows evenly, the chances for a higher yield increase.

• Yields: While Indoor yields are around 300 grams per square meter, outdoor grows typically produce up to 350 grams per plant. Given the difficulty growing the Biscotti strain, these yield figures are pretty great. Growing multiple plants will increase your yield exponentially.

Dominant Terpenes in Biscotti: Dessert Bud

The Biscotti terpene profile is directly responsible for how the plant smells and tastes and the strong effects it has on its users. The most dominant terpene in this strain is Beta-caryophyllene, while valencene and limonene are secondary terpenes.

• Valencene: Secondary Terpene – Sweet and citrusy aroma adds to the potential health benefits of marijuana.

Dominant Cannabinoids in Biscotti:

Cannabinoids play an important role in Biscotti seeds and are generally a huge part of most strains of cannabis. That happy, relaxed, and euphoric feeling you get when enjoying the Biscotti strain is due to its dominant cannabinoids. Each cannabinoid does something different to the user.

• THC: The Main Character – THC is the most dominant cannabinoid on the molecular level of this strain. The crystalline compound tetrahydrocannabinol is the main ingredient of cannabis. Topping out at 25%, the THC in this Indica-dominant strain is responsible for the euphoric and relaxed feeling you get when enjoying Biscotti cannabis.
