Humboldt Uppercut
Humboldt Uppercut is a modern hybrid cannabis strain derived from a genetic cross between T-1000 and Purple Punch. Cultivated with a moderate difficulty level, this strain performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments. Growers can expect a high yield from this plant, which reaches maturity after a 63-day flowering period.
From a biochemical perspective, the profile is dominated by caryophyllene, followed by myrcene and limonene, with subsequent contributions from linalool, humulene, beta-pinene, pinene, ocimene, bisabolol, guaiol, camphene, and terpinolene. This complex terpene arrangement dictates the sensory experience, providing a nuanced aromatic and flavor profile consistent with its diverse chemical composition.
This THC-dominant strain is primarily utilized by those seeking to manage stress, alleviate pain, or improve sleep quality. Users typically report feeling relaxed, happy, and uplifted following consumption. The genetic legacy of Humboldt Uppercut is established through its notable offspring, Hawaiian Uppercut.

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.
◎
