THCV is a modern sativa cultivar resulting from the specialized breeding of Sativa, Kannadaze V, and Afghani. This genetic lineage produces a plant that requires moderate cultivation skill; when grown in an outdoor environment, it reaches maturity after a 67-day flowering period and produces a medium yield.
The chemical profile of this strain is defined by a terpene composition led by terpinolene, followed in prominence by ocimene and myrcene. These compounds dictate the sensory experience, providing a distinct aromatic and flavorful nuance inherent to this specific combination of terpenes.
With a cannabinoid profile dominated by THC at approximately 6.9 percent, THCV facilitates creative, energetic, and uplifted effects. These characteristics make it a functional choice for users seeking support for creativity, social engagement, and focus. There are currently no recorded offspring for this strain.

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: acetylcholinesterase inhibitor (IC50 0.44 mM) counteracting THC-induced short-term memory deficits; most widely encountered terpenoid in nature; anti-inflammatory via PGE-1.
Antifungal, antiviral, decongestant; activates CB1/CB2 at 10–60% THC efficacy per Israeli receptor study (NORML 2025); highly volatile (bp 50–66°C); limited clinical data.
Effects
Reported effects — derived from terpene chemistry and cannabinoid profile.
◈
creative
morningAssociated with terpinolene/limonene profiles; dopaminergic and serotonergic modulation via limonene 5-HT1A supports divergent thinking.
⚡
energetic
morningAssociated with ocimene/terpinolene profiles; stimulating without sedation; largely emergent from absence of sedating compounds rather than a direct mechanism.
△
uplifted
morningLimonene anxiolytic/antidepressant via serotonin elevation in prefrontal cortex (Russo 2011); mood improvement without full euphoria; key for balanced-1-1 profiles.
Genetic Profile

Frequently Asked Questions
Is THCV indica or sativa?
THCV is modeled here as a pure sativa (cerebral, energizing genetics).
What terpene is dominant in THCV?
Myrcene is shown as the dominant terpene at approximately ~60%. Pinene follows as the secondary terpene.
Is THCV good for daytime use?
THCV 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.
