UW is a modern hybrid-indica resulting from a cross of Indica, Black Lotus, and Snow Lotus. Its precise historical origins remain undocumented within the trade, providing a clear genetic foundation derived from these three parent strains without a verified breeder narrative. This variety is designed for both indoor and outdoor cultivation, reaching maturity after a 60-day flowering period and consistently producing a high yield for the grower. Cultivation of this strain is rated as moderate in terms of difficulty.
The aromatic and flavor profile of UW is complex, defined by a confirmed hierarchy of terpenes starting with myrcene, followed by pinene, limonene, nerolidol, and caryophyllene. This profile continues with beta-pinene, linalool, humulene, caryophyllene-oxide, camphene, ocimene, bisabolol, and eucalyptol. Users can expect a cannabinoid profile that represents a THC-dominant variety, with an estimated 16% THC and an estimated 0.23% CBD content based on averaged industry reporting.
Upon consumption, consumers report feelings of relaxation and focused awareness. These primary effects make the strain a candidate for addressing physical pain, managing stress, or assisting with sleep. The genetic lineage of UW has proven influential, as it is the parent of notable offspring including Caturra Kush, FruitBowl, and SlugSlime, which continue to carry forward the traits established by this modern hybrid-indica.
Terpene Profile
Synergies (+) and conflicts (−) are relative to each other within this profile.
| Terpene | Share | Character | Likely role |
|---|---|---|---|
| myrcene | ~60% | earthy | relaxing · solo |
| pinene | ~28% | pine | focus · creative |
| limonene | ~12% | citrus | social · creative |
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.
Russo 2011: increases serotonin in prefrontal cortex + dopamine in hippocampus via 5-HT1A; Johns Hopkins 2024: significantly reduced anxiety vs THC alone.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is UW indica or sativa?
UW is modeled here as a indica-dominant (primarily indica with sativa influence).
What terpene is dominant in UW?
Myrcene is shown as the dominant terpene at approximately ~60%. Pinene follows as the secondary terpene.
Is UW good for daytime use?
UW 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.
