Lagkitan is a modern sativa cultivar developed through a precise lineage comprising Sativa, Double Scorpion, and Punto Rojo. This genetic background positions the strain as a calculated hybrid, contributing to its status as the parent of Double Scorpion. Cultivation of Lagkitan requires a moderate level of expertise, necessitating an outdoor environment where the plant reaches maturity over an 88-day flowering period, ultimately producing a medium yield.
The terpene profile of Lagkitan is complex and hierarchical, led by the dominance of myrcene, followed by pinene, caryophyllene, and nerolidol. This composition continues with beta-pinene, humulene, and ocimene, rounding out with trace amounts of limonene, linalool, and bisabolol. This specific chemical arrangement defines the strain's sensory character, dictating the nuances of its aroma and flavor profile through the interaction of these ten distinct compounds.
As a THC-dominant variety, Lagkitan provides effects characterized primarily by heightened creativity, energetic stimulation, and a sense of being uplifted. These properties make the strain well-suited for activities requiring sustained focus, social interaction, or the pursuit of creative tasks. Beyond its immediate effects on the user, the strain maintains a notable genetic legacy within contemporary breeding, serving as a foundational element in the development of its descendant, Double Scorpion.
Terpene Profile
Synergies (+) and conflicts (−) are relative to each other within this profile.
| Terpene | Share | Character | Likely role |
|---|---|---|---|
| myrcene | ~60% | earthy | relaxing · solo |
| pinene | ~28% | pine | focus · 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: acetylcholinesterase inhibitor (IC50 0.44 mM) counteracting THC-induced short-term memory deficits; most widely encountered terpenoid in nature; anti-inflammatory via PGE-1.

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.
energetic
morningAssociated with ocimene/terpinolene profiles; stimulating without sedation; largely emergent from absence of sedating compounds rather than a direct mechanism.
uplifted
morningLimonene anxiolytic/antidepressant via serotonin elevation in prefrontal cortex (Russo 2011); mood improvement without full euphoria; key for balanced-1-1 profiles.
Genetic Profile
Pure Sativa
Cerebral, energizing genetics. Tall plants, narrow leaves, longer flowering.
THC-Dominant
High THC, trace CBD. Psychoactive. Full CB1 agonism — euphoria, appetite, analgesia.

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