c) a tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) cannabinoid content such that the THC:CBD content ratio is greater than1.4

and d) a terpene oil content greater than about 1.0% by weight

wherein the contents of THC and CBD comprise acidic and decarboxylated cannabinoids as measured by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and calculated based on dry weight ofthe inflorescence

wherein the terpene oil content is the additive content of the terpenes in the inflorescence's terpene profile

wherein the terpene profile consists of terpinolene, alpha phellandrene, beta ocimene, carene, limonene, gamma terpinene,alpha pinene, alpha terpinene, beta pinene, fenchol, camphene, alpha terpineol, alpha humulene, beta caryophyllene, linalool, caryophyllene oxide, and myrcene

and wherein the terpene contents are measured by gas chromatography-flame ionizationdetection (GC-FID) and are calculated based on dry weight of the inflorescence

wherein a representative sample of seed capable of producing said plants has been deposited under NCIMB Nos. 42248, 42249, and wherein cellular cultures representative ofsaid plants are deposited under Bigelow NCMA Nos. PATENT201611001, PATENT201609001, and PATENT201612001.
