Sonic is a modern, auto-flowering strain derived from the crossing of White Widow and Lowryder #2. Its origins remain reflective of typical modern developmental practices, blending the established genetics of its parents into a stable auto-flowering framework. Cultivation is considered easy, making the strain suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments. Growers should note that Sonic requires 70 days for flowering and generally produces a low yield.
The chemical profile of Sonic is defined by a diverse range of terpenes, led by myrcene as the primary constituent, followed by limonene, caryophyllene, isopulegol, beta-pinene, linalool, pinene, nerolidol, humulene, bisabolol, caryophyllene-oxide, camphene, eucalyptol, terpinolene, ocimene, guaiol, gamma-terpinene, p-cymene, and alpha-terpinene. The strain contains an estimated 17.7% THC. Given these concentrations, the aromatic experience tends to reflect this complex, multi-layered terpene composition, though the exact sensory output is an estimated interpretation of these laboratory-confirmed results.
Users typically report feeling relaxed, happy, and uplifted following consumption. Due to these attributes, Sonic is frequently utilized to manage stress, alleviate pain, or improve sleep quality. While it remains a popular choice for those seeking these specific effects, there are currently no notable offspring recorded in its genetic lineage.

Research notes below describe isolated terpene mechanisms and early findings. They do not guarantee effects from this strain and are not medical advice.
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.

spicy
●●○○
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.
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
Autoflower
Photoperiod-independent. Flowers based on age, not light cycle. Compact and fast.
THC-Dominant
High THC, trace CBD. Psychoactive. Full CB1 agonism — euphoria, appetite, analgesia.
