Blood Cell
Blood Cell is a modern hybrid strain derived from the stable genetics of Hannibal OG F2. As a result of this lineage, the plant is optimized for high yields and offers a moderate cultivation difficulty, capable of thriving in both indoor and outdoor environments. Growers can expect a relatively short flowering cycle of 55 days. This specific genetic line is recognized for its role in the development of Agha Red, a project facilitated by Maruf Black Preservation.
The terpene profile of Blood Cell is defined by a complex, multi-layered chemical structure led by caryophyllene, myrcene, and limonene. Secondary and tertiary contributions from pinene, humulene, ocimene, and nerolidol round out the aromatic profile, further supported by linalool, beta-pinene, guaiol, p-cymene, bisabolol, eucalyptol, camphene, and caryophyllene-oxide. This diverse combination creates a distinctive sensory experience for the user.
As a THC-dominant hybrid, Blood Cell primarily induces effects of relaxation, happiness, and an uplifted mood. These characteristics make it a functional candidate for users seeking relief from stress and pain, as well as those looking for support with sleep. Its legacy continues to influence breeding programs, most notably through its contribution to the Agha Red preservation efforts.

●●○○
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.
relaxed
eveningPrimary endpoint of myrcene+linalool sedating combinations; GABA modulation is the dominant mechanistic driver.
happy
