Botanical Derived Strains

Botanical-derived terpenes (BDTs) are natural aroma compounds sourced from plants other than cannabis. These non-cannabis terpenes are chemically identical to terpenes found in cannabis that give strains their unique flavor and aroma.

At Lab Effects, we distill, isolate, and then blend precise ratios of botanically sourced terpenes to recreate the terpene profiles of the most popular cannabis strains on the market. Our botanical-derived terpenes offer authentic flavor at an accessible price point.

    What are botanical-derived terpenes (BDTs)?

    Botanically sourced terpenes are extracted from plants other than Cannabis sativa L. Common sources of plant-derived terpenes include citrus fruits, trees, flowers, herbs, and spices.  Sourcing terpenes from these plants is more cost-effective than sourcing from cannabis.

    ‍

    To create our botanical-derived terpenes, we first analyze the exact terpene profiles of your favorite strains using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). We then carefully reconstruct these profiles by blending botanically sourced terpenes in precise ratios.

    ‍

    The terpene molecules in botanical-derived strains are identical to those found in the original cannabis strain, but are derived entirely from natural, non-cannabis sources. They allow brands to deliver strain-specific products with consistent quality and scalability.

    ‍

    What’s the difference between cannabis-derived terpenes vs. botanical terpenes?

    Both cannabis-derived and botanical-derived terpenes contain the same strain-specific terpene profiles, but there are two main differences between the final products.

    ‍

    First, cannabis-derived terpenes contain other aromatic compounds, such as esters, that contribute to the overall complexity of the aroma and flavor. Botanically sourced terpenes, by contrast, contain only pure terpenes with no other active compounds.

    ‍

    Second, plant-derived terpenes are typically more affordable than cannabis-derived terpenes. By sourcing terpenes from a wide variety of plants, it’s possible to isolate compounds that occur only in trace amounts in cannabis, allowing for precise reconstruction of strain profiles at a lower cost.

    ‍

    What's the best way to use botanical terpene strains?

    Botanical terpenes are strain-specific blends of terpenes and other essential oils. They can be added to nearly any product formulation through either blending and/or emulsification.

    ‍

    We recommend the following starting concentrations for popular product types:

    • Vape oils and cartridges: 7 percent
    • Tinctures: 1.5 percent
    • Topical: 0.5 percent
    • Gummies and edibles: 1 percent

    ‍

    Botanically sourced terpenes can also be used to enhance the flavor of dried flower, pre-rolls, and concentrates by gently misting them onto the dried product. Ensure consistent application for a high-quality final product.

    ‍

    Can I order custom strain profiles?

    Yes! We’d love to work with you to create custom terpene blends that elevate your products. Whether you’re looking to replicate an existing cultivar or craft something entirely new, our team has the expertise to bring your vision to life.

    ‍

    The first step is to share your goals and preferences with our team. From there, we can develop an exclusive terpene profile tailored to your needs. Please note that minimum order quantities may apply for custom products.

    ‍

    Terpenes are highly volatile and can degrade if exposed to heat, light, or air. To maintain peak freshness, store them in their original container in a cool, dry place between 60°F and 70°F.

    Avoid direct sunlight, high temperatures, open flames, hot surfaces, and any other ignition sources. Always ensure the lids of your specialty bottles are tightly sealed to preserve potency and natural aroma compounds.

    No, none of our terpene products contain any cannabinoids, including THC or CBD. Our botanical-derived terpenes only contain pure terpene compounds sourced from non-cannabis plants.

    Yes, all of our botanically sourced terpenes meet the highest compliance standards across all 50 states and numerous international markets. When you buy botanical terpenes from Lab Effects, you'll receive comprehensive Safety Data Sheets (SDS) and Certificates of Analysis (COAs) for every product.

    Lab Effects is currently the only FDA cGMP-certified terpene supplier in the industry. Our portfolio includes only all-natural, food-grade terpenes, with no synthetic additives, byproducts, or artificial flavors.

    If you need additional documentation for your specific state or international region, our team is always happy to assist.

    Use botanical-derived strains to elevate the flavor and aroma of virtually any cannabis product. Our liquid terpenes are easy to incorporate into vape carts, edibles, tinctures, and topicals, and can also be used to enhance flower, pre-rolls, and concentrates.

    Many customers choose botanical-derived terpenes to recreate a specific strain profile at a more cost-effective price point, while others leverage them to craft innovative flavor profiles and custom terpene blends that go beyond traditional strain-specific offerings.

    Botanical-derived strains can be added to vape carts by thoroughly blending the terpene extract with your formulation. They integrate easily, giving you full control over flavor and final formulation, enabling accurate replication of strain-specific aromas.

    We recommend using a diluent like The Cut™ or a carrier oil like The Base™ when formulating vape carts with Lab Effects terpenes. This keeps your final product synthetic-free while giving you precise control over viscosity, optimizing delivery, and ensuring consistent, high-quality carts.

    Our portfolio of Botanical-Derived Terpenes includes crowd-pleasers like Wedding Cake and Lemon Haze, legendary strains such as OG Kush and Jack Herer, and on-trend phenotypes including Green Crack and Runtz.

    And with over 105 botanical strain profiles available and growing, you can buy botanical strains to suit any market niche, inspired by the products customers consistently seek out.
