Amarelo is a modern sativa cultivar with an undocumented lineage. Its genetic origins remain unknown in the official registry, and despite its geographic nomenclature, it is classified strictly as a modern hybrid variety rather than an indigenous landrace. This cultivar is cultivated outdoors with a flowering cycle of 91 days, a process considered to be of moderate difficulty that typically produces a medium yield.
The chemical profile of Amarelo is characterized by a dominant presence of terpinolene, which is accompanied by secondary notes of ocimene and a tertiary foundation of myrcene. This specific terpene composition informs the strain’s sensory experience, creating a distinct aromatic and flavor profile defined by the interplay between these three compounds.
As a THC-dominant variety, Amarelo is associated with creative, energetic, and uplifted effects. These properties make it a functional choice for social settings, focused tasks, and the pursuit of creative endeavors. The genetic influence of the strain is further evidenced by its status as a parent to the notable offspring Brazil, another sativa cultivar in the lineage.

●○○○
PMC11060501: antinociception via NO/PGE2/TNF-α inhibition; associated with cerebral sativa profiles; least clinically characterised of major terpenes.
Antifungal, antiviral, decongestant; activates CB1/CB2 at 10–60% THC efficacy per Israeli receptor study (NORML 2025); highly volatile (bp 50–66°C); limited clinical data.
Russo 2011: naloxone-sensitive analgesia, potentiates barbiturate sleep; dominant sedating terpenoid; blocks hepatic carcinogenesis by aflatoxin.
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.
energetic
morningAssociated with ocimene/terpinolene profiles; stimulating without sedation; largely emergent from absence of sedating compounds rather than a direct mechanism.
uplifted
morningLimonene anxiolytic/antidepressant via serotonin elevation in prefrontal cortex (Russo 2011); mood improvement without full euphoria; key for balanced-1-1 profiles.
Genetic Profile
Pure Sativa
Cerebral, energizing genetics. Tall plants, narrow leaves, longer flowering.
THC-Dominant
High THC, trace CBD. Psychoactive. Full CB1 agonism — euphoria, appetite, analgesia.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Amarelo indica or sativa?
Amarelo is modeled here as a pure sativa (cerebral, energizing genetics).
What terpene is dominant in Amarelo?
Terpinolene is shown as the dominant terpene at approximately ~60%. Ocimene follows as the secondary terpene.
Is Amarelo good for daytime use?
Amarelo is versatile and works across different times of day depending on dose and individual response.
How accurate is this data?
See the "Data confidence" card in the sidebar. Terpene profiles and effects are chemistry-informed estimates — individual responses depend on phenotype, source, and personal chemistry.
