Ketosis
Ketosis is a modern hybrid strain derived from Mendo Breath F2 genetics. As a deliberate breeding project, the strain demonstrates the refined characteristics associated with its lineage, maintaining a high-yield potential that serves both indoor and outdoor cultivation environments. Growers should expect a moderate difficulty level throughout its 70-day flowering cycle, which ultimately produces consistent, reliable outcomes for those familiar with contemporary hybrid management.
The sensory profile of Ketosis is defined by a primary presence of myrcene, followed by caryophyllene and a final note of limonene. This specific terpene hierarchy informs the aromatic experience, balancing earthy and foundational elements with the spicy, woody, and subtle citrus nuances expected from this chemical composition. The result is a profile that is chemically complex, characterized by the specific interplay of these three dominant compounds.
Users of this THC-dominant strain report feeling relaxed, happy, and uplifted upon consumption. These characteristics make Ketosis a practical candidate for addressing concerns related to stress, pain management, and sleep support. Its genetic legacy is preserved and refined through its most notable offspring, Ketosis #4 S1, which continues the developmental trajectory established by the original hybrid.

Russo 2011: naloxone-sensitive analgesia, potentiates barbiturate sleep; dominant sedating terpenoid; blocks hepatic carcinogenesis by aflatoxin.

●●○○
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Ketosis indica or sativa?
Ketosis is modeled here as a balanced hybrid (equal indica and sativa genetics).
What terpene is dominant in Ketosis?
Myrcene is shown as the dominant terpene at approximately ~60%. Caryophyllene follows as the secondary terpene.
Is Ketosis good for daytime use?
Ketosis is versatile and works across different times of day depending on dose and individual response.
