Phoenix is a modern hybrid cannabis strain resulting from the crossing of Triangle Kush and High School Sweetheart. Information regarding the specific history and origins of the strain is undocumented, leaving its development and initial breeding context obscure. The plant is considered of moderate difficulty to grow, typically completing its flowering cycle in 63 days. When cultivated in either indoor or outdoor environments, it is capable of producing a high yield.
The chemical profile of Phoenix is characterized by a complex array of terpenes, starting with caryophyllene and followed by limonene, myrcene, linalool, humulene, beta-pinene, bisabolol, pinene, and terpinolene. While these components are confirmed, the cannabinoid profile features an estimated 19.9% THC content. Consumers often note the aromatic nuances inherent in this terpene cascade, which contributes to the strain's overall sensory profile.
In terms of therapeutic and recreational utility, Phoenix is reported to produce effects that are relaxed, happy, and uplifted. These characteristics make it a common choice for individuals looking to address stress, pain, or sleep-related concerns. There are currently no notable offspring recorded for this strain, solidifying its place in the modern catalog as a distinct genetic entry that serves specific user needs through its consistent effect profile.
Terpene Profile
Synergies (+) and conflicts (−) are relative to each other within this profile.
| Terpene | Share | Character | Likely role |
|---|---|---|---|
| caryophyllene | ~60% | spicy | relaxing · social |
| limonene | ~28% | citrus | social · creative |
| myrcene | ~12% | earthy | relaxing · 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: increases serotonin in prefrontal cortex + dopamine in hippocampus via 5-HT1A; Johns Hopkins 2024: significantly reduced anxiety vs THC alone.
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.
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.
