Great Success
Great Success is a modern hybrid strain derived from a complex genetic lineage consisting of an unknown strain, Ave, and Testarossa. As a result of this specific breeding process, this plant has established a notable genetic legacy, as it is the direct parent of the cultivar known as Ave. Designed for a moderate cultivation difficulty, the strain performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments and is capable of producing a high yield within a 63-day flowering window.
The chemical profile of Great Success is defined by a diverse range of terpenes, led by a dominant presence of caryophyllene followed by myrcene and limonene. The secondary and tertiary layers of its aromatic structure include pinene, humulene, ocimene, nerolidol, and linalool, with additional trace amounts of beta-pinene, guaiol, p-cymene, bisabolol, eucalyptol, camphene, and caryophyllene-oxide. This specific combination of volatile compounds creates a nuanced sensory experience that reflects the strain's complex hybrid ancestry.
As a THC-dominant variety, the effects of Great Success are characterized by a sense of being relaxed, happy, and uplifted. These attributes make the strain a functional choice for users seeking support with stress, pain, or difficulties related to sleep. Its balanced profile ensures that the intended therapeutic effects remain the primary focus for its consumers.

●●○○
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
