Circles
Circles is a modern hybrid cannabis variety derived from La Crema. This strain exhibits moderate growth difficulty, making it a viable option for cultivation in both indoor and outdoor environments. Growers can expect a high yield from this plant, which maintains a flowering period of approximately 70 days.
The terpene profile of Circles is structured with myrcene as the dominant compound, followed by secondary caryophyllene and tertiary limonene. These aromatic compounds shape the sensory experience, providing a distinct chemical signature defined by this specific progression. This profile is consistent across the plant's development, grounding its olfactory and flavor characteristics in these three primary constituents.
As a THC-dominant variety, Circles produces effects categorized as relaxed, happy, and uplifted. These properties make it a targeted choice for individuals seeking relief from stress, pain, or difficulties with sleep. The genetic lineage of this hybrid has proven influential, serving as the foundation for several notable offspring, including Circles F3, Izno CBG Auto, and La Crema.

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.
