Hurricane Katrina
Hurricane Katrina is a modern hybrid strain derived from its parent, Slam Dunk. This variety is categorized as a moderate-difficulty grow, suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation environments. Growers can expect a high yield from this plant, which reaches maturity after a 63-day flowering period. Its genetic influence remains visible in its notable offspring, which include Bourbon St Blues and Katrina Fruit Bowl 1.5.
The aromatic and flavor profile of Hurricane Katrina is defined by a complex, layered terpene expression. It is dominated by caryophyllene, limonene, humulene, linalool, bisabolol, beta-pinene, pinene, geraniol, nerolidol, myrcene, ocimene, camphene, isopulegol, caryophyllene-oxide, p-cymene, and terpinolene. This precise sequence of chemical compounds informs the botanical nuance experienced during consumption, reflecting the specific terpene hierarchy present within the cultivar.
As a THC-dominant hybrid, Hurricane Katrina is primarily characterized by effects that leave the user feeling relaxed, happy, and uplifted. These properties make it a choice for addressing concerns related to stress, pain, and sleep. The strain maintains a stable genetic legacy, serving as a foundational element for subsequent crosses.

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.
