Bearclaw
Bearclaw is a modern hybrid cannabis strain derived from the genetics of Sour Apple IBL. As a result of this specific heritage, the plant exhibits a stable growth pattern that requires moderate experience to manage successfully in both indoor and outdoor environments. Growers can expect a high yield from this variety following a standard flowering period of 63 days.
The terpene profile of Bearclaw is led by a significant concentration of myrcene, followed by caryophyllene and limonene. This chemical composition defines the sensory experience, balancing the earthy and sedative qualities of myrcene with the sharp, spicy notes of caryophyllene and the bright, citrus-forward finish of limonene. These aromatic compounds harmonize to provide a distinct flavor profile that reflects its hybrid lineage.
Users typically report feeling relaxed, happy, and uplifted after consumption, making this a frequent choice for those seeking relief from stress, pain, or difficulty sleeping. The THC-dominant profile reinforces these therapeutic applications, providing a consistent experience for the user. Its genetic influence is further observed in its notable offspring, Aquamarine, which continues the developmental history of the lineage.

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: increases serotonin in prefrontal cortex + dopamine in hippocampus via 5-HT1A; Johns Hopkins 2024: significantly reduced anxiety vs THC alone.
Effects
