Motor Head is a modern hybrid strain derived from the genetics of Fleetwood Mac. This cultivar is suitable for cultivation in both indoor and outdoor environments, offering a high yield for those with moderate growing experience. Growers can expect the plants to conclude their flowering cycle after 65 days. Its genetic potential is demonstrated through its notable offspring, Hot Gear.
The aromatic and flavor profile of Motor Head is defined by a complex chemical composition, with pinene serving as the primary terpene. This is closely followed by myrcene, beta-pinene, limonene, caryophyllene, terpinolene, humulene, and bisabolol. This specific distribution of terpenes informs the sensory experience, balancing sharpness with deeper, nuanced undertones.
As a THC-dominant variety with 31.2% THC and 0% CBD, Motor Head primarily induces effects that are relaxed, happy, and uplifted. These characteristics make the strain a functional choice for those seeking to address stress, pain, or difficulties with sleep. Beyond its immediate application, the strain continues to influence current breeding programs through its proven genetic contributions.

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: naloxone-sensitive analgesia, potentiates barbiturate sleep; dominant sedating terpenoid; blocks hepatic carcinogenesis by aflatoxin.
