Sourdough #1 is a modern hybrid strain born from a complex genetic lineage that includes Georgia Pie, Cereal Milk, Sunset Sherbert, and OG Kush. Developed to be grown in both indoor and outdoor environments, this strain requires a moderate level of expertise from cultivators. During a flowering period of approximately 65 days, the plant is capable of producing a high yield, reflecting its robust selection from such notable parents. Its success in the breeding room is evidenced by a substantial list of offspring, including Ciabatti, Comatose, Crybaby, Currency, Double Peaches, Eastbound, GPII, Hellcat, Oceanside, Painted Lady, Rotten Citrus, and Silencer.
The sensory profile of Sourdough #1 is defined by an extensive terpene composition starting with dominant caryophyllene, followed by limonene, myrcene, and humulene. The secondary and tertiary notes consist of linalool, bisabolol, beta-pinene, pinene, nerolidol, and ocimene, with trace contributions from geraniol, camphene, borneol, caryophyllene-oxide, guaiol, and isopulegol. This intricate chemical structure creates a unique aromatic profile that reflects its varied parentage, providing a consistent experience for those who appreciate highly specific terpene expressions.
As a THC-dominant cultivar, Sourdough #1 is primarily utilized for its ability to induce feelings of relaxation, happiness, and an uplifted state of mind. These effects make it a frequent choice for users seeking relief from stress, management of physical pain, or assistance with sleep. Through its diverse genetic footprint and documented therapeutic use cases, Sourdough #1 maintains a prominent position in modern horticulture and continues to influence the development of new hybrid genetics.

●●○○
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.
