Lavender effects are mostly calming.
Lavender is a modern hybrid-indica strain with an undocumented lineage, making its genetic origins a subject of professional debate. Designed for both indoor and outdoor cultivation, this variety reaches maturity after a seventy-day flowering cycle. It is categorized as a moderate-difficulty grow that rewards the cultivator with high yields. Its versatile growth requirements have allowed it to persist in various environments, contributing to its status as a foundational genetic influence for numerous subsequent crosses.
The sensory profile of Lavender is defined by a complex terpene cascade, led by a dominant concentration of myrcene. This base is complemented by a secondary layer of limonene, followed by ocimene, pinene, and humulene. The aromatic complexity continues through the presence of linalool, beta-pinene, caryophyllene-oxide, and camphene, with trace influences from isopulegol, nerolidol, terpinolene, and alpha-terpinene. These compounds harmonize to create a distinct profile that balances earthy, citrus, and floral undertones.
As a THC-dominant cultivar, Lavender is recognized for inducing states of relaxation and focus in users. These qualitative effects make it a frequent choice for the management of pain, stress, and sleep-related difficulties. The genetic impact of this strain is evident in its diverse range of notable offspring, including Lavender x Afghani, Blue Mountain Durban, Zen, Bubblegum x Lavender, Hash Heaven, Jack Cloudwalker, Lavender Muffin, The Duchess, Chilavender, Chile Verde OG, A1 Kush Pie, and Agent Jack Lavender.

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: 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: acetylcholinesterase inhibitor (IC50 0.44 mM) counteracting THC-induced short-term memory deficits; most widely encountered terpenoid in nature; anti-inflammatory via PGE-1.
Reported effects — derived from terpene chemistry and cannabinoid profile.
Primary endpoint of myrcene+linalool sedating combinations; GABA modulation is the dominant mechanistic driver.
Linalool GABA-A modulation + caryophyllene CB2 agonism drive anxiolysis without heavy sedation; distinct from sleepy — supports sustained presence and mild focus.
Pinene acetylcholinesterase inhibition (IC50 0.44 mM per Russo 2011) sustains acetylcholine; counteracts THC-induced short-term memory deficits.
Primarily indica with sativa influence. Relaxing body with some cerebral lift.
High THC, trace CBD. Psychoactive. Full CB1 agonism — euphoria, appetite, analgesia.

Seeds availableLavender is modeled here as a indica-dominant (primarily indica with sativa influence).
Myrcene is shown as the dominant terpene at approximately ~60%. Caryophyllene follows as the secondary terpene.
Lavender is versatile and works across different times of day depending on dose and individual response.
