Encore
Encore is a modern hybrid strain derived from the parent cultivar Petrolia Headstash. Cultivated for its balanced characteristics, it reaches maturity following a 60-day flowering period. This variety is suited for both indoor and outdoor environments, offering growers a high yield while maintaining a moderate degree of cultivation difficulty.
The chemical profile of Encore is defined by a terpene composition led by myrcene, followed by caryophyllene and limonene. These constituents shape its distinct sensory profile, presenting a nuanced aromatic and flavor experience consistent with its specific terpene dominance. This sequence of myrcene, caryophyllene, and limonene provides the foundation for the strain's chemical identify.
As a THC-dominant hybrid, Encore is associated with effects described as relaxed, happy, and uplifted. These therapeutic attributes make it a viable option for users seeking management of stress, pain, or assistance with sleep. The genetic influence of the strain continues through its notable offspring, which include both Chocolate Parfait and Citrus Parfait.

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.
