Estrella Malva
Estrella Malva is a modern hybrid cannabis strain derived from African sativa genetics. As a carefully developed cultivar, it serves as the parent of the notable offspring known as La Diosa Lakshmi. This strain is designed for versatile cultivation, performing with moderate difficulty in both indoor and outdoor environments. Growers can expect a high yield from this variety, which reaches maturity after a 53-day flowering period.
The sensory profile of Estrella Malva is defined by a complex chemical composition anchored by nerolidol as its dominant terpene, followed by limonene, caryophyllene, and humulene. The aromatic and flavor nuances continue through a broad spectrum of secondary and tertiary compounds, including linalool, myrcene, bisabolol, beta-pinene, caryophyllene-oxide, camphene, terpinolene, and finally, pinene. This diverse terpene arrangement provides a distinct profile that remains consistent across harvests.
As a THC-dominant strain, Estrella Malva is recognized for producing effects that are characterized as relaxed, happy, and uplifted. These traits make the strain a suitable option for users seeking relief from stress and pain, as well as those looking for assistance with sleep. Through its genetic stability and therapeutic utility, Estrella Malva continues to influence contemporary breeding projects, most prominently through its contribution to the development of La Diosa Lakshmi.

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
