Copper Sunset is a modern hybrid cannabis strain derived from its parent, Peruvian Punch. Developed for both indoor and outdoor cultivation, this variety maintains a moderate difficulty level for growers while consistently rewarding them with high yields after a sixty-three-day flowering cycle. As a stable modern hybrid, it is characterized by its balanced growth patterns and reliable developmental traits.
The chemical complexity of Copper Sunset is defined by a terpene profile led by caryophyllene, followed by limonene, humulene, and linalool. These are supported by secondary and tertiary notes of myrcene, beta-pinene, pinene, ocimene, bisabolol, guaiol, camphene, and terpinolene. This precise arrangement of aromatics creates a sophisticated sensory experience, where the spicy, woody base of caryophyllene and humulene harmonizes with the distinct citrus and floral undertones provided by the limonene and linalool content.
As a THC-dominant cultivar, Copper Sunset is recognized for producing effects that are categorized as relaxed, happy, and uplifted. These physiological and psychological outcomes make the strain particularly suitable for users seeking relief from stress and pain, or aid in achieving sleep. The genetic impact of the strain is further evidenced by its notable offspring, Ethereal Sunset, which carries forward the established lineage and characteristics of the parent plant.

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.
