Terpentine
Terpentine is a modern, auto-flowering cultivar derived from its parent strain, Witch Doctor. Designed for accessibility, this variety is characterized by an easy difficulty level, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation environments. Growers can expect a 50-day flowering cycle and a modest, low-yield harvest.
The terpene profile of Terpentine is led by myrcene as the dominant compound, followed by caryophyllene and limonene as secondary and tertiary constituents, respectively. This combination drives a distinct chemical profile that shapes the sensory experience of the flower. These aromatic compounds create a balanced olfactory presence that defines the profile of the cultivar.
The effects of Terpentine are THC-dominant, resulting in sensations characterized as relaxed, happy, and uplifted. These attributes make the strain a functional choice for those seeking relief from stress and pain, or support for sleep. The genetic legacy of this cultivar is further established through notable offspring, such as the cross between OG Truth and Terpentine.

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.
Effects
Reported effects — derived from terpene chemistry and cannabinoid profile.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Terpentine indica or sativa?
Terpentine is modeled here as a autoflower (photoperiod-independent).
What terpene is dominant in Terpentine?
Myrcene is shown as the dominant terpene at approximately ~60%. Caryophyllene follows as the secondary terpene.
Is Terpentine good for daytime use?
Terpentine is versatile and works across different times of day depending on dose and individual response.
How accurate is this data?
See the "Data confidence" card in the sidebar. Terpene profiles and effects are chemistry-informed estimates — individual responses depend on phenotype, source, and personal chemistry.
