Supersonic is a modern hybrid strain derived directly from Project 4516. As a product of selective breeding, this THC-dominant variety has been developed for consistent performance in both indoor and outdoor environments. Growers can expect a moderate difficulty level and a high yield, with the plant reaching maturity after a sixty-five-day flowering period.
The sensory profile of Supersonic is defined by a complex chemical composition led by caryophyllene, humulene, and myrcene. This foundation is further nuanced by secondary and tertiary notes of ocimene, bisabolol, limonene, pinene, beta-pinene, and linalool. This specific arrangement of terpenes informs the strain’s distinct aromatic and flavor characteristics, serving as the basis for its multifaceted sensory experience.
Regarding its psychoactive profile, Supersonic is primarily utilized for its ability to induce relaxed, happy, and uplifted states. These reported effects make it a frequent choice for those seeking relief from stress and pain, as well as those looking for support with sleep. The influence of this strain extends into the modern cannabis market through its role as a parent for notable offspring, most specifically the cultivar known as Sonic Truffle.

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.
PMC11060501: opioid-independent antinociception; appetite suppression (anorectic); NF-κB dual-pathway synergy with caryophyllene.
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
