Charlotte’s Web is a modern hybrid strain with an undocumented lineage. Widely credited as a foundational variety in contemporary cannabis studies, the strain has achieved a reputation for its distinct cannabinoid composition. Cultivators can expect a flowering period of 63 days, with the plant demonstrating moderate growth difficulty. Suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments, the strain is noted for producing a high yield.
The chemical profile of Charlotte’s Web is defined by a terpene arrangement dominated by myrcene, followed by caryophyllene and a tertiary presence of limonene. This specific combination shapes the sensory experience of the strain, contributing to its profile through the interaction of these aromatics. The interplay between these dominant, secondary, and tertiary compounds defines the characteristic nuances encountered by the user.
As a THC-dominant hybrid, Charlotte’s Web is frequently utilized to provide effects described as relaxed, happy, and uplifted. These attributes make it a common choice for addressing concerns related to stress, pain, and sleep. The influence of this strain on the broader market is solidified by its diverse list of notable offspring, which includes Auto Finny, Finola, Fruit Squirting, Goodwill's Gift, Kera Dorong, and Sensi Supreme Angel's Bliss CBD Automatic.

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
Reported effects — derived from terpene chemistry and cannabinoid profile.
relaxed
eveningPrimary endpoint of myrcene+linalool sedating combinations; GABA modulation is the dominant mechanistic driver.
