Maracuya
Maracuya is a modern hybrid-sativa strain derived from Orange lineage. Designed for cultivators seeking high productivity, this strain requires a moderate level of experience throughout its 66-day flowering phase. It is a versatile plant that performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments, consistently rewarding growers with a high yield.
The chemical profile of Maracuya is defined by a complex, multi-layered terpene composition led by terpinolene, myrcene, and limonene. Secondary and tertiary notes of ocimene, caryophyllene, beta-pinene, bisabolol, pinene, humulene, alpha-terpinene, gamma-terpinene, linalool, nerolidol, caryophyllene-oxide, p-cymene, sabinene, eucalyptol, valencene, borneol, and camphene round out the sensory experience. This extensive array of compounds creates a distinct aromatic and flavor profile that reflects its diverse chemical foundation.
As a THC-dominant cultivar, Maracuya is sought after for its ability to produce creative, uplifted, and happy effects. These qualities make it a practical selection for consumers looking to enhance focus during creative tasks or engage in social settings. Currently, there are no notable offspring recorded in the pedigree for 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: 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.
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.
