Four Peaks
Four Peaks is a modern hybrid-sativa strain derived from the genetics of Chernobyl. Developed for cultivators seeking a productive harvest, the plant maintains a moderate difficulty level and reaches maturity with a 66-day flowering period. It functions effectively in both indoor and outdoor environments and is recognized for its capacity to produce a high yield.
The chemical profile of Four Peaks is defined by a complex terpene hierarchy led by caryophyllene, myrcene, and limonene, followed by humulene, linalool, beta-pinene, bisabolol, pinene, camphene, terpinolene, and caryophyllene-oxide. This diverse combination of ten terpenes provides a nuanced aromatic and flavor experience. The potency of the strain is further established by its THC-dominant cannabinoid profile.
In practice, Four Peaks is associated with uplifting, euphoric, and creative effects, making it a preferred option for social settings that require focus. Its genetic influence has extended to a series of notable offspring, including Khumbu Icefall, Lhotse, South Col, Tenzing, and Tom's Thumb. These varieties reflect the strain's established role in contemporary genetic lines.

●●○○
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: naloxone-sensitive analgesia, potentiates barbiturate sleep; dominant sedating terpenoid; blocks hepatic carcinogenesis by aflatoxin.
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.
creative
morningAssociated with terpinolene/limonene profiles; dopaminergic and serotonergic modulation via limonene 5-HT1A supports divergent thinking.
uplifted
morningLimonene anxiolytic/antidepressant via serotonin elevation in prefrontal cortex (Russo 2011); mood improvement without full euphoria; key for balanced-1-1 profiles.
happy
anytimeGenetic Profile
Sativa-dominant
Primarily sativa with indica grounding. Uplifting with body relaxation.
THC-Dominant
High THC, trace CBD. Psychoactive. Full CB1 agonism — euphoria, appetite, analgesia.
