New Caledonia is a modern sativa cultivar resulting from the crossing of Sativa, Hala Kahiki Haze, and Pineapple Soda. Designed for cultivators who prefer outdoor environments, this strain presents a moderate level of difficulty and requires a 95-day flowering period to reach a medium yield. Its genetic lineage has established it as a foundational plant for further breeding, serving as a direct parent to Hala Kahiki Haze and Her Holiness.
The terpene profile of New Caledonia is anchored by a dominant concentration of caryophyllene, followed by myrcene, humulene, and limonene. The nuance of the profile continues with bisabolol, linalool, beta-pinene, and caryophyllene-oxide, finishing with a trace of pinene. This complex chemical architecture dictates the specific aromatic and flavor characteristics experienced by the user, reflecting the diverse genetic inputs of its parent strains.
As a THC-dominant cultivar, New Caledonia is formulated to deliver creative, energetic, and uplifted effects. It is most frequently utilized in social settings or during periods requiring enhanced focus, making it a functional choice for those seeking to augment their creative output. Through its genetic contributions to lines like Her Holiness, New Caledonia continues to influence the development of contemporary sativa genetics.
Terpene Profile
Synergies (+) and conflicts (−) are relative to each other within this profile.
| Terpene | Share | Character | Likely role |
|---|---|---|---|
| caryophyllene | ~60% | spicy | relaxing · social |
| myrcene | ~28% | earthy | relaxing · solo |
| humulene | ~12% | earthy | focus · solo |

●●○○
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: naloxone-sensitive analgesia, potentiates barbiturate sleep; dominant sedating terpenoid; blocks hepatic carcinogenesis by aflatoxin.
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 New Caledonia indica or sativa?
New Caledonia is modeled here as a pure sativa (cerebral, energizing genetics).
What terpene is dominant in New Caledonia?
Caryophyllene is shown as the dominant terpene at approximately ~60%. Myrcene follows as the secondary terpene.
Is New Caledonia good for daytime use?
New Caledonia is versatile and works across different times of day depending on dose and individual response.
