Battle Axe
Battle Axe is a modern hybrid strain derived from a three-way cross of Oooze, OG Kush, and Mac 1. The genetic origins of the strain remain straightforwardly documented through this lineage, though specific details regarding the breeder or the historical timeline of its development are currently unavailable. As a plant suited for both indoor and outdoor cultivation, it reaches maturity after a 60-day flowering period, offering a high yield for growers of moderate experience.
The aromatic and flavor profile of Battle Axe is defined by a complex chemical composition, with limonene serving as the dominant terpene. This primary note is followed in descending order of significance by caryophyllene, linalool, myrcene, pinene, beta-pinene, humulene, bisabolol, nerolidol, valencene, and caryophyllene-oxide. These terpenes contribute to a nuanced sensory experience that mirrors the strain’s diverse parentage.
As a THC-dominant cultivar, Battle Axe provides effects characterized by feelings of relaxation, happiness, and an uplifted state of mind. These properties make it a functional choice for individuals seeking relief from stress and pain, while the relaxing nature of the experience supports its use as an aid for sleep. At this time, there are no recorded notable offspring resulting from the use of Battle Axe in further breeding programs.

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: local anesthetic equal to procaine; anticonvulsant via glutamate/GABA modulation; reduces morphine tolerance via multisite opioid/GABAergic/cannabinoid action.
Effects
Reported effects — derived from terpene chemistry and cannabinoid profile.
