\n\tWhat is terroir?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Originating in 13th-century France from the Latin word \"Terra,\" meaning earth, the term \"terroir\" refers to the complete natural environment in which a particular cannabis plant \u2014 or wine, traditionally \u2014 is grown. Terroir is specific to outdoor cannabis grows since it factors in weather patterns, soil, and other environmental elements that affect the final taste of a strain or those grown in a distinct area.<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t\t
