Sled Dawg
Sled Dawg is a modern hybrid strain derived from its parent, Cherry Mountain. Known for its productive growth cycle, this cultivar is suitable for cultivation in both indoor and outdoor environments. Growers can expect a high yield from this variety, which reaches maturity after a 63-day flowering period. Due to its specific requirements, the strain is assigned a moderate difficulty rating for those managing its cultivation process.
The terpene profile of Sled Dawg is complex, led by the dominant myrcene, followed by caryophyllene, ocimene, nerolidol, linalool, limonene, pinene, humulene, guaiol, bisabolol, eucalyptol, beta-pinene, p-cymene, caryophyllene-oxide, terpinolene, camphene, isopulegol, valencene, borneol, sabinene, and gamma-terpinene. This diverse chemical composition influences the sensory experience, offering a nuanced arrangement of scents and flavors that correspond to its broad secondary and tertiary terpene hierarchy.
As a THC-dominant hybrid, Sled Dawg is recognized for providing effects that are relaxed, happy, and uplifted. These characteristics make it a functional choice for those seeking relief from stress and pain, or support for sleep. The genetic legacy of this strain is evidenced by its notable offspring, Pink Grasshopper, which continues the lineage established by the parent plant.

Russo 2011: naloxone-sensitive analgesia, potentiates barbiturate sleep; dominant sedating terpenoid; blocks hepatic carcinogenesis by aflatoxin.

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.
Antifungal, antiviral, decongestant; activates CB1/CB2 at 10–60% THC efficacy per Israeli receptor study (NORML 2025); highly volatile (bp 50–66°C); limited clinical data.
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
