GAW
GAW is a modern hybrid cannabis strain derived from the genetics of Mainline OG. Developed for growers seeking a balance of yield and consistency, the strain presents a moderate level of cultivation difficulty. It is versatile enough to thrive in both indoor and outdoor environments, reaching maturation after a 63-day flowering period and producing a high yield for the cultivator.
The terpene profile of GAW is anchored by myrcene, which provides the foundational aromatic structure, followed by the secondary influence of caryophyllene and tertiary notes of limonene. This specific chemical composition defines the sensory experience, resulting in an aroma and flavor profile unique to the interplay of these three compounds.
In terms of effects, GAW is a THC-dominant variety that typically leaves users feeling relaxed, happy, and uplifted. These characteristics make it a functional choice for those managing stress, pain, or difficulties with sleep. Beyond its immediate application, the strain has established a genetic legacy through its notable offspring, which include Stelouse and Sundaze.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is GAW indica or sativa?
GAW is modeled here as a balanced hybrid (equal indica and sativa genetics).
What terpene is dominant in GAW?
Myrcene is shown as the dominant terpene at approximately ~60%. Caryophyllene follows as the secondary terpene.
Is GAW good for daytime use?
GAW is versatile and works across different times of day depending on dose and individual response.
