Galactic is a modern hybrid strain created through the crossbreeding of Stardawg and Trophy Wife. Developed for versatility, this cultivar is cultivated in both indoor and outdoor environments. Growers can expect a high yield from this plant, which reaches maturity after a 63-day flowering cycle. Maintaining the health of this variety is considered of moderate difficulty, requiring consistent care throughout its developmental stages.
The chemical profile of Galactic is defined by a primary presence of myrcene, followed by secondary concentrations of caryophyllene and a tertiary influence of limonene. These terpenes contribute to the specific sensory experience of the strain, influencing its overall aroma and flavor profile. The interaction between these dominant, secondary, and tertiary compounds is central to the chemical character of the plant, distinguishing its olfactory and gustatory qualities.
With a THC-dominant profile measured at approximately 17.7%, Galactic produces effects characterized as relaxed, happy, and uplifted. These attributes make the strain specifically suited for consumers addressing concerns related to stress, pain, and sleep. While its genetic lineage derives from its two identified parents, there are currently no notable offspring recorded for this variety.
Terpene Profile
Synergies (+) and conflicts (−) are relative to each other within this profile.
| Terpene | Share | Character | Likely role |
|---|---|---|---|
| caryophyllene | ~60% | spicy | relaxing · social |
| myrcene | ~28% | earthy | relaxing · solo |
| limonene | ~12% | citrus | social · creative |

●●○○
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.
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.
