Eight Circuit
Eight Circuit is a modern hybrid strain derived from the crossing of Dr Who and Project 592. The origin of the strain remains undocumented, with no specific breeder or historical background recorded for its development. Because its lineage is confined to these two parents, the strain is a deliberate result of modern breeding practices rather than an heirloom or landrace variety. It exhibits a moderate level of cultivation difficulty and is suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments. Growers can expect a high yield from this variety, which reaches maturity after a 68-day flowering period.
The sensory profile of Eight Circuit is defined by a complex range of terpenes, characterized by its confirmed dominance of myrcene, followed by pinene, caryophyllene, limonene, terpinolene, humulene, beta-pinene, linalool, ocimene, and guaiol. This chemical makeup presents a precise aromatic experience derived directly from these constituent compounds. The interplay of these terpenes creates a specific profile that balances earthy, resinous, and sharp citrus notes, reflecting the confirmed laboratory data provided for the plant's expression of secondary metabolites.
As a THC-dominant hybrid, Eight Circuit produces effects centered on feelings of relaxation, happiness, and an uplifted state of mind. Given these reported outcomes, the strain is frequently turned to as a method for managing stress and pain, and it is commonly utilized as an aid for sleep. At this time, there are no recorded offspring attributed to this specific genetic line. Eight Circuit remains a distinct, stand-alone contemporary selection within the modern hybrid category.

| Terpene | Share | Character | Likely role |
|---|---|---|---|
| myrcene | ~60% | earthy | relaxing · solo |
| pinene | ~28% | pine | focus · creative |
| caryophyllene | ~12% | spicy | relaxing · social |
Research notes below describe isolated terpene mechanisms and early findings. They do not guarantee effects from this strain and are not medical advice.
Russo 2011: naloxone-sensitive analgesia, potentiates barbiturate sleep; dominant sedating terpenoid; blocks hepatic carcinogenesis by aflatoxin.
Russo 2011: acetylcholinesterase inhibitor (IC50 0.44 mM) counteracting THC-induced short-term memory deficits; most widely encountered terpenoid in nature; anti-inflammatory via PGE-1.

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.
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
anytimeuplifted
morningLimonene anxiolytic/antidepressant via serotonin elevation in prefrontal cortex (Russo 2011); mood improvement without full euphoria; key for balanced-1-1 profiles.
Genetic Profile
Balanced Hybrid
Equal indica and sativa genetics. Balanced body and mind effects.
THC-Dominant
High THC, trace CBD. Psychoactive. Full CB1 agonism — euphoria, appetite, analgesia.
