Fat Bastard
Fat Bastard is a modern hybrid strain with an undocumented lineage. Because the parents of this cultivar remain unknown, growers focus on its reliable cultivation traits, which include a moderate difficulty level and high yields. Suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments, the plant typically completes its flowering cycle in 63 days. Its reputation for consistent production has led to its use in further breeding projects, serving as a parent to the offspring known as Inglourious Bastard.
The terpene profile of Fat Bastard is dominated by myrcene, followed by caryophyllene and limonene. This chemical composition dictates the sensory experience, offering a nuanced aromatic presence derived from these specific compounds. The interplay between the earthy base of myrcene and the spicy, citrus undertones of caryophyllene and limonene defines the flavor profile, which informs the overall consumer experience.
As a THC-dominant strain, Fat Bastard is noted for inducing effects characterized by feelings of relaxation, happiness, and an uplifted mood. These properties make it a candidate for individuals seeking to manage stress, alleviate physical pain, or improve sleep quality. Its genetic legacy continues to influence the market through various progeny, firmly establishing its role within the contemporary landscape of hybrid cannabis varieties.

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.
happy
