Highlighter is a modern hybrid-indica strain derived from Permanent Marker. Beyond this genetic connection, the strain’s exact origins remain undocumented, and breeders have not publicly confirmed a broader lineage or specific development history. This lack of detailed lineage is common among contemporary hybrids, where the full developmental trail often remains unrecorded by the original breeders.

The terpene profile of Highlighter is led by limonene, followed by myrcene, linalool, caryophyllene, beta-pinene, humulene, and pinene. Users can expect an estimated THC content of approximately 23.4 percent, with negligible CBD levels. Given these constituents, the sensory profile likely leans into the sharp citrus notes of limonene, balanced by the earthy, floral, and spicy undertones provided by the subsequent terpene stack. Cultivation is categorized as moderate in difficulty, with plants reaching a high yield in both indoor and outdoor environments over a sixty-day flowering period.

The physiological effects of Highlighter are characterized by a sense of being both relaxed and focused. These qualities make the strain a candidate for addressing pain, stress, and sleep difficulties. While the strain has established itself in modern cultivation, it currently has no recorded progeny or notable offspring to further its genetic lineage.
