Vanilla Fizz
Vanilla Fizz is a modern automatic variety resulting from a cross between Sour Hound and Cosmic Queen F4 S1. Optimized for both indoor and outdoor cultivation, this strain reaches maturity with a 74-day flowering cycle. While it is characterized as an easy-to-grow plant, growers should anticipate a low yield from harvests. Its genetic influence remains evident in its notable offspring, which include Compound V and Space Station Gold.
The aromatic profile of Vanilla Fizz is defined by a complex sequence of terpenes, led by dominant myrcene, followed by caryophyllene, limonene, pinene, and terpinolene. The secondary and tertiary layers of the profile consist of linalool, beta-pinene, humulene, nerolidol, and ocimene, with trace contributions from bisabolol, guaiol, camphene, caryophyllene-oxide, and p-cymene. This specific arrangement of compounds dictates the sensory experience, offering a nuanced chemical composition that reflects its diverse parentage.
As a THC-dominant strain, Vanilla Fizz produces effects centered on feelings of relaxation, happiness, and an uplifted state. These characteristics make it a functional selection for individuals addressing stress, pain, or difficulties with sleep. By serving as the genetic foundation for lines such as Space Station Gold, the strain maintains a measurable role in contemporary breeding programs.

| 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.

spicy
●●○○
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.
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.
Genetic Profile
Autoflower
Photoperiod-independent. Flowers based on age, not light cycle. Compact and fast.
THC-Dominant
High THC, trace CBD. Psychoactive. Full CB1 agonism — euphoria, appetite, analgesia.
