Sweet Pea
Sweet Pea is a modern hybrid cannabis strain derived from the genetic cross of Banana MAC. As a product of selective breeding, it reflects the specialized lineage of its parents, having been stabilized to reach its current characteristics. The strain is well-suited for cultivation in both indoor and outdoor environments, offering a high yield for growers who can navigate its moderate difficulty level. It requires a flowering period of approximately 63 days to reach full maturity.
The sensory profile of Sweet Pea is defined by its complex terpene arrangement, which begins with dominant levels of limonene, followed by myrcene, caryophyllene, nerolidol, and linalool. This primary aromatic foundation is further supported by a secondary structure of beta-pinene, pinene, humulene, and caryophyllene-oxide, with trace contributions from guaiol, bisabolol, camphene, p-cymene, terpinolene, geraniol, ocimene, alpha-terpinene, and gamma-terpinene. These compounds combine to create a distinct profile that translates directly to the flavor experience of the flower.
As a THC-dominant cultivar, Sweet Pea is primarily utilized to facilitate feelings of relaxation, happiness, and an uplifted mood. Its therapeutic profile makes it an appropriate choice for users managing stress, physical pain, or sleep disturbances. Beyond its immediate user benefits, the strain has also proven its value within breeding programs as the parent of the notable offspring known as Bozack.

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: 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.
