Locomotive
Locomotive is a modern hybrid strain created through the crossing of Thai sativa and Afghani indica genetics. Its history and specific breeding origin remain undocumented, reflecting a common trend among contemporary hybrids where formal records of the initial development are unavailable. This strain is cultivated in both indoor and outdoor environments, demonstrating a moderate difficulty level and a consistent ability to produce high yields within a 56-day flowering period.
The sensory profile of Locomotive is characterized by a complex chemical composition, with terpinolene, myrcene, and pinene functioning as the most prominent terpenes. The overall aromatic and flavor experience is further shaped by the presence of ocimene, caryophyllene, limonene, beta-pinene, humulene, linalool, eucalyptol, and nerolidol, with trace contributions from alpha-terpinene, gamma-terpinene, camphene, isopulegol, and caryophyllene-oxide. This diverse terpene arrangement provides a distinct sensory output that defines the strain’s identity.
As a THC-dominant cultivar, Locomotive is associated with effects that are relaxed, happy, and uplifted. These characteristics make it a functional option for users seeking relief from stress and pain, or support for sleep. While it serves as a distinct entry in modern hybrid genetics, there are currently no recorded notable offspring derived from this strain.

PMC11060501: antinociception via NO/PGE2/TNF-α inhibition; associated with cerebral sativa profiles; least clinically characterised of major terpenes.
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.
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.
Genetic Profile
Balanced Hybrid
Equal indica and sativa genetics. Balanced body and mind effects.
THC-Dominant
High THC, trace CBD. Psychoactive. Full CB1 agonism — euphoria, appetite, analgesia.
