The following Abstrax Factors are how we determine the unique characteristics of different cultivars. It is very important to note that these factors are not a reflection of the “quality” of the cultivar. A cultivar that has a 100% Haze Factor is not objectively any better than a cultivar with a 0% Haze Factor. It just means that one is a Haze and the other is not.
Cannabis is one of the most complex botanicals found in nature and these factors are a way to categorize their properties.
Measures the similarity of a terpene profile to haze cultivars. These profiles tend to be sativa-leaning in their effects with woody and citrus aromas. The terpene content in these profiles tend to be higher than average. If you are looking for an energetic high with strong, woody, citrus notes, look for a profile with a high HAZEFACTOR.

| Sojay Haze | 94% |

Measures the intensity of the gassy aroma in a profile. This aroma can be found in both sativa and indica dominant cultivars, as well as hybrids of each. Gassy cultivars often have high amounts of ß-Myrcene, D-Limonene, or ß-Caryophyllene as well as flavorants typically found in gassy exotics. The GASFACTOR is highly dependent on product age so be sure to check for freshness when hunting for gas.

Measures the potency of the aroma and flavor of a profile. Loud cultivars typically have high aroma content (>9% in LLR, >2% in flower) as well as a very high gas factor (>80+.) Terpinolene-rich cultivars can also have high loudness when fresh. If you’re looking for very loud flower to fill the room, look for a high LOUDFACTOR.

Measures the intensity of exotic flavors and aromas - sweet, fruity, or creamy notes. These profiles span the wide sativa-indica divide with many being indica-dominant hybrids. The compounds that contribute to these scents are typically esters, alcohols, or aldehydes. If you’re looking for profiles with less-OG and more exotic notes, look for a high EXOTICFACTOR.

Measures how the amounts of terpenes vary in a profile. Cultivars with similar amounts of terpenes will have a higher strain balance because the variety will be more equal and varied. This leads to more complex aromas with less targeted effects. Cultivars with an overwhelmingly dominant top terpene will have a lower strain balance with less complex aromas, but more targeted effects.
When looking for very specific effects – sedative, energetic, or otherwise – look for a low strain balance profile. When looking for a more evenly balanced profile with a complex flavor and aroma, look for a high STRAINBALANCE.
| Insane OG - 99 | Rich earth tones |
| Papaya - 71 | Sweet musky notes |
| Wedding Cake - 73 | Citrus sweet notes |
| OG Kush - 4 | Myrcene rich Heavily sedating |
| Jack Herer - 12 | Terpinolene rich Heavily energetic |
Even distribution of terpenes yields complex aroma. Effects will be more even balanced, with none overpowering the others.
Higher concentration of dominant terpenes leads to a less complex aroma. Effects will be mainly driven by the top terpene.
