Power Stout
Power Stout is a modern, auto-flowering strain with an undocumented lineage. Designed for ease of maintenance in both indoor and outdoor settings, this variety completes its flowering phase in 70 days. While the resulting yield is characteristically low, the cultivar is recognized for its consistency and accessibility, eventually serving as the parent of the notable offspring known as Quixter.
The complex terpene profile of Power Stout is dominated by caryophyllene, followed by myrcene and limonene. Secondary and tertiary contributions include pinene, humulene, ocimene, nerolidol, and linalool, with trace amounts of beta-pinene, guaiol, p-cymene, bisabolol, eucalyptol, camphene, and caryophyllene-oxide. This chemical diversity creates a nuanced sensory profile defined by the interaction of these sixteen specific compounds.
As a THC-dominant variety, Power Stout provides effects that are simultaneously relaxed, happy, and uplifted. These characteristics make the strain a suitable choice for users seeking relief from stress and pain, as well as those looking for support with sleep. Beyond its immediate utility, its genetic legacy continues through the development of subsequent hybrids like Quixter.

●●○○
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.
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.
◎
relaxed
eveningPrimary endpoint of myrcene+linalool sedating combinations; GABA modulation is the dominant mechanistic driver.

morningLimonene anxiolytic/antidepressant via serotonin elevation in prefrontal cortex (Russo 2011); mood improvement without full euphoria; key for balanced-1-1 profiles.
Genetic Profile
