Lab Leak
Lab Leak is a modern hybrid-sativa cultivar bred from the combination of Sunshine Daydream and Star Pupil. As a result of this specific genetic crossing, the strain exhibits distinct growth characteristics, reaching maturity after a flowering period of 58 days. It is cultivated in both indoor and outdoor environments with moderate difficulty, consistently rewarding growers with a high yield. Its professional history remains largely anecdotal, and no notable offspring have been recorded or attributed to this lineage to date.
The terpene profile of Lab Leak is dominated by limonene, followed by myrcene as the secondary constituent and caryophyllene as the tertiary. The full chemical composition continues through pinene, linalool, beta-pinene, nerolidol, humulene, terpinolene, bisabolol, p-cymene, caryophyllene-oxide, and camphene. The interplay of these compounds defines the strain's sensory expression, delivering a complex aromatic profile derived from its confirmed chemical data.
As a THC-dominant cultivar, Lab Leak primarily produces effects characterized as creative, uplifted, and happy. Due to these reported effects, the strain is frequently selected for use cases involving creativity, social interaction, and focus. Its functional profile reflects its hybrid-sativa classification, providing a sensory and cognitive experience aligned with its provided cannabinoid and terpene data.
Terpene Profile
Synergies (+) and conflicts (−) are relative to each other within this profile.
| Terpene | Share | Character | Likely role |
|---|---|---|---|
| limonene | ~60% | citrus | social · creative |
| myrcene | ~28% | earthy | relaxing · solo |
| 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: increases serotonin in prefrontal cortex + dopamine in hippocampus via 5-HT1A; Johns Hopkins 2024: significantly reduced anxiety vs THC alone.
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.
Effects
Reported effects — derived from terpene chemistry and cannabinoid profile.
creative
morningAssociated with terpinolene/limonene profiles; dopaminergic and serotonergic modulation via limonene 5-HT1A supports divergent thinking.
uplifted
morningLimonene anxiolytic/antidepressant via serotonin elevation in prefrontal cortex (Russo 2011); mood improvement without full euphoria; key for balanced-1-1 profiles.
happy
anytimeGenetic Profile
Sativa-dominant
Primarily sativa with indica grounding. Uplifting with body relaxation.
THC-Dominant
High THC, trace CBD. Psychoactive. Full CB1 agonism — euphoria, appetite, analgesia.
