'87 Firebird is a modern hybrid cannabis strain resulting from the crossing of Haze and Limepop. Developed for consistent performance in both indoor and outdoor environments, this strain is considered moderately difficult to cultivate and typically requires a 70-day flowering period to reach its high-yield potential. As a notable genetic contributor to the industry, it is the parent of the strain Mystery Machine.
The complex terpene profile of '87 Firebird is led by terpinolene, followed closely by myrcene, caryophyllene, beta-pinene, and limonene. The sensory experience is further nuanced by the presence of ocimene, pinene, humulene, nerolidol, alpha-terpinene, gamma-terpinene, bisabolol, and linalool. This chemical arrangement creates a distinct aromatic and flavor profile defined by the interplay of these thirteen documented compounds.
As a THC-dominant cultivar, '87 Firebird is recognized for its ability to induce effects that are simultaneously relaxed, happy, and uplifted. Because of these characteristics, it is often utilized by those seeking relief from stress and pain, or for patients looking to address difficulties with sleep. Its refined genetic lineage and reliable performance have solidified its standing within the contemporary market.

Effects
Reported effects — derived from terpene chemistry and cannabinoid profile.
relaxed
eveningPrimary endpoint of myrcene+linalool sedating combinations; GABA modulation is the dominant mechanistic driver.
