HP 21
HP 21 is a modern hybrid strain derived from the breeding of U Dub and HP Bx. This genetic pairing results in a versatile plant suitable for cultivation in both indoor and outdoor environments. Growers can expect a high yield from this variety, which reaches maturity after a 63-day flowering period and requires a moderate level of technical skill to successfully cultivate.
The chemical profile of HP 21 is defined by a complex terpene arrangement, led by dominant myrcene, followed by limonene, caryophyllene, and beta-pinene. Further nuance is provided by linalool, pinene, bisabolol, camphene, nerolidol, guaiol, and ocimene. This diverse composition contributes to a distinct aromatic and sensory profile that reflects the interplay of these eleven specific constituents.
As a THC-dominant cultivar, HP 21 produces effects characterized by a sense of relaxation, happiness, and an uplifted mood. These properties make the strain a functional choice for those seeking relief from stress and physical pain, or assistance with sleep. The influence of the strain continues through its genetic legacy, most notably as the parent of the offspring known as Jane Doe Skunk.
Terpene Profile
Synergies (+) and conflicts (−) are relative to each other within this profile.
| Terpene | Share | Character | Likely role |
|---|---|---|---|
| myrcene | ~60% | earthy | relaxing · solo |
| limonene | ~28% | citrus | social · creative |
| caryophyllene | ~12% | spicy | relaxing · social |
Research notes below describe isolated terpene mechanisms and early findings. They do not guarantee effects from this strain and are not medical advice.
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.

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.
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.
