AC/DC is a modern hybrid strain with an undocumented lineage. Known for its specific cannabinoid profile, the plant requires a moderate level of experience to cultivate. It performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments, reaches maturity in 63 days of flowering, and is recognized for producing a high yield.
The complex aromatic profile of AC/DC is defined by a distinct hierarchy of compounds, beginning with myrcene as the dominant terpene. This is followed by pinene and beta-pinene, with limonene, bisabolol, caryophyllene, isopulegol, linalool, camphene, humulene, and ocimene completing the sequence. This combination creates a unique sensory experience based on the sequential expression of these specific aromatic agents.
As a THC-dominant hybrid, AC/DC is consistently sought after for its ability to produce relaxed, happy, and uplifted effects. These characteristics make it a functional selection for individuals addressing stress, pain, or difficulty with sleep. The genetic influence of the strain is further validated by its contribution to numerous offspring, including AC-DC 78, Bora Bora, Candida, CannaBoom CBD+, CannaFuel CBD+, CBcanD lll, CBD Tide, Electric Gorilla D, Fenomed, Flaming Cherries, Goji DC, and Goodlovin.

Research notes below describe isolated terpene mechanisms and early findings. They do not guarantee effects from this strain and are not medical advice.
Russo 2011: naloxone-sensitive analgesia, potentiates barbiturate sleep; dominant sedating terpenoid; blocks hepatic carcinogenesis by aflatoxin.
Russo 2011: acetylcholinesterase inhibitor (IC50 0.44 mM) counteracting THC-induced short-term memory deficits; most widely encountered terpenoid in nature; anti-inflammatory via PGE-1.

●●○○
Beta form of pinene. Piney, woody aroma. Bronchodilator and anti-inflammatory properties similar to alpha-pinene.
Effects
Reported effects — derived from terpene chemistry and cannabinoid profile.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is AC / DC indica or sativa?
AC / DC is modeled here as a balanced hybrid (equal indica and sativa genetics).
What terpene is dominant in AC / DC?
Myrcene is shown as the dominant terpene at approximately ~60%. Pinene follows as the secondary terpene.
Is AC / DC good for daytime use?
AC / DC is versatile and works across different times of day depending on dose and individual response.
