Citrus
Citrus is a modern hybrid-sativa derived from Rosetta Stone, serving as a foundational pillar in contemporary breeding circles. This strain is cultivated via both indoor and outdoor methods, rewarding growers with high yields after a moderate 56-day flowering period. Its genetic stability and reliable performance have cemented its status as a staple for cultivators, eventually leading to its role in the development of notable offspring such as Lemonade 2000.
The sensory profile of Citrus is defined by a complex terpene arrangement, led by terpinolene, ocimene, and myrcene. These are complemented by limonene, caryophyllene, beta-pinene, pinene, and isopulegol, with minor contributions from camphene, linalool, eucalyptol, humulene, alpha-terpinene, gamma-terpinene, and nerolidol. This chemical makeup results in a distinct, multi-layered aromatic experience characterized by the interplay between its dominant floral notes and underlying pine and citrus undertones.
As a THC-dominant variety, Citrus is recognized for inducing feelings of euphoria that leave the user feeling uplifted and creatively inspired. These effects make it a preferred choice for individuals seeking to enhance focus during creative endeavors or those requiring a social aid for interactive settings. Its contribution to subsequent breeding programs persists through its progeny, confirming its enduring utility within the hybrid-sativa category.

●○○○
PMC11060501: antinociception via NO/PGE2/TNF-α inhibition; associated with cerebral sativa profiles; least clinically characterised of major terpenes.
Antifungal, antiviral, decongestant; activates CB1/CB2 at 10–60% THC efficacy per Israeli receptor study (NORML 2025); highly volatile (bp 50–66°C); limited clinical data.
Russo 2011: naloxone-sensitive analgesia, potentiates barbiturate sleep; dominant sedating terpenoid; blocks hepatic carcinogenesis by aflatoxin.
Effects
Reported effects — derived from terpene chemistry and cannabinoid profile.
creative
morningAssociated with terpinolene/limonene profiles; dopaminergic and serotonergic modulation via limonene 5-HT1A supports divergent thinking.
uplifted
morningLimonene anxiolytic/antidepressant via serotonin elevation in prefrontal cortex (Russo 2011); mood improvement without full euphoria; key for balanced-1-1 profiles.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Citrus indica or sativa?
Citrus is modeled here as a sativa-dominant (primarily sativa with indica grounding).
What terpene is dominant in Citrus?
Terpinolene is shown as the dominant terpene at approximately ~60%. Ocimene follows as the secondary terpene.
Is Citrus good for daytime use?
Citrus is versatile and works across different times of day depending on dose and individual response.
