Genesis is a modern hybrid strain with a lineage that remains largely undocumented. While it is known to be derived from Smurf Berry, its full genetic history and the specific breeders responsible for its initial development have not been publicly confirmed. Because no comprehensive breeder description exists for this variety, its formal origin remains a point of ambiguity within the cannabis community, and the background of its cross-breeding remains unverified.
The chemical profile of Genesis is defined by a complex, confirmed hierarchy of terpenes that ranges from primary caryophyllene and pinene to tertiary limonene, myrcene, linalool, humulene, beta-pinene, terpinolene, bisabolol, and caryophyllene-oxide. This diverse aromatic blend creates a multifaceted sensory experience, though its potency is a matter of approximation. The strain contains an estimated THC concentration of 17 percent and an estimated CBD content of 0.04 percent.
Genesis is documented to be a moderate-difficulty plant that offers a high yield when cultivated in both indoor and outdoor environments, reaching maturity after a 67-day flowering period. Users report that the strain provides effects characterized as relaxed, happy, and uplifted. These properties make it a commonly cited choice for those seeking relief from stress, pain, and sleep difficulties. There are currently no notable offspring recorded for this strain, leaving its genetic contribution to future varieties presently undefined.
Terpene Profile
Synergies (+) and conflicts (−) are relative to each other within this profile.
| Terpene | Share | Character | Likely role |

●●○○
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: acetylcholinesterase inhibitor (IC50 0.44 mM) counteracting THC-induced short-term memory deficits; most widely encountered terpenoid in nature; anti-inflammatory via PGE-1.
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Genesis indica or sativa?
Genesis is modeled here as a balanced hybrid (equal indica and sativa genetics).
What terpene is dominant in Genesis?
Caryophyllene is shown as the dominant terpene at approximately ~60%. Pinene follows as the secondary terpene.
Is Genesis good for daytime use?
Genesis is versatile and works across different times of day depending on dose and individual response.
How accurate is this data?
See the "Data confidence" card in the sidebar. Terpene profiles and effects are chemistry-informed estimates — individual responses depend on phenotype, source, and personal chemistry.
