Alaska is a modern hybrid-sativa strain with undocumented lineage. Although the specific genetic background remains unknown, the strain requires a moderate level of expertise from cultivators who wish to achieve its high yield potential. Suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments, the plant reaches maturity following a flowering cycle of 66 days.
The chemical profile of this strain is defined primarily by terpinolene, which provides the foundation for its aromatic and flavour characteristics. Supporting notes are derived from a secondary concentration of myrcene and a tertiary presence of caryophyllene. This terpene combination results in a distinct sensory experience that reflects the strain's complex hybrid development.
As a THC-dominant variety, Alaska consistently tests at approximately 17.8% THC, with no significant presence of CBD or CBG. Users often report effects characterized by elevated creativity, mood enhancement, and an uplifted state. Consequently, the strain is frequently selected for activities requiring sustained focus or social engagement. There are currently no recorded notable offspring derived from this variety.
Terpene Profile
Synergies (+) and conflicts (−) are relative to each other within this profile.
| Terpene | Share | Character | Likely role |
|---|---|---|---|
| caryophyllene | ~60% | spicy | relaxing · social |
| myrcene | ~28% | earthy | relaxing · solo |
| limonene | ~12% | citrus | social · creative |

●●○○
Russo 2011: only terpene that is a selective full CB2 agonist (100 nM); Gertsch et al. 2008: acts as dietary cannabinoid; unique anti-inflammatory and gastric cytoprotective properties.
Russo 2011: naloxone-sensitive analgesia, potentiates barbiturate sleep; dominant sedating terpenoid; blocks hepatic carcinogenesis by aflatoxin.
Russo 2011: increases serotonin in prefrontal cortex + dopamine in hippocampus via 5-HT1A; Johns Hopkins 2024: significantly reduced anxiety vs THC alone.
Effects
Reported effects — derived from terpene chemistry and cannabinoid profile.
creative
morningAssociated with terpinolene/limonene profiles; dopaminergic and serotonergic modulation via limonene 5-HT1A supports divergent thinking.
uplifted
morningLimonene anxiolytic/antidepressant via serotonin elevation in prefrontal cortex (Russo 2011); mood improvement without full euphoria; key for balanced-1-1 profiles.
happy
anytimeGenetic Profile
Sativa-dominant
Primarily sativa with indica grounding. Uplifting with body relaxation.
THC-Dominant
High THC, trace CBD. Psychoactive. Full CB1 agonism — euphoria, appetite, analgesia.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Alaska indica or sativa?
Alaska is modeled here as a sativa-dominant (primarily sativa with indica grounding).
What terpene is dominant in Alaska?
Caryophyllene is shown as the dominant terpene at approximately ~60%. Myrcene follows as the secondary terpene.
Is Alaska good for daytime use?
Alaska is versatile and works across different times of day depending on dose and individual response.
