GSR
GSR is a modern hybrid strain derived from its parent, Rollex OG Kush. Developed to balance specific traits inherent to its lineage, this variety has demonstrated genetic stability and consistency in its performance. It has proven its value as a foundational cultivar in breeding, serving as a parent to notable offspring including Panhandle and SpaceEx.
The chemical profile of GSR is defined by a terpene complex led by myrcene, followed by caryophyllene and limonene. This specific arrangement of aromatic compounds provides a distinct sensory experience characterized by the interplay between these three primary terpenes. These compounds collectively define the aromatic nuance and flavor profile of the flowers, maintaining a constant presence throughout the consumption process.
Users report that GSR is a THC-dominant strain that induces effects described as relaxed, happy, and uplifted. These characteristics make it a functional choice for those seeking relief from stress and pain, or support for sleep. Cultivators can expect a moderate difficulty level when growing GSR in either indoor or outdoor environments, with a flowering time of 56 days and a high yield potential.
Terpene Profile
Synergies (+) and conflicts (−) are relative to each other within this profile.
| Terpene | Share | Character | Likely role |
|---|---|---|---|
| myrcene | ~60% | earthy | relaxing · solo |
| caryophyllene | ~28% | spicy | relaxing · social |
| limonene | ~12% | citrus | social · creative |

Russo 2011: naloxone-sensitive analgesia, potentiates barbiturate sleep; dominant sedating terpenoid; blocks hepatic carcinogenesis by aflatoxin.
~28%
spicy
●●○○
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: 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 GSR indica or sativa?
GSR is modeled here as a balanced hybrid (equal indica and sativa genetics).
What terpene is dominant in GSR?
Myrcene is shown as the dominant terpene at approximately ~60%. Caryophyllene follows as the secondary terpene.
Is GSR good for daytime use?
GSR is versatile and works across different times of day depending on dose and individual response.
