Vixen is a modern, hybrid-sativa strain derived from the parent strain Dark Side of the Moon. This cultivar is categorized as a moderate-difficulty grow, suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation environments. It reaches maturity with a 58-day flowering period and is noted for producing high yields.
The sensory profile of Vixen is defined by its specific terpene arrangement, led by a dominant presence of terpinolene. This is complemented by secondary notes of myrcene and tertiary hints of caryophyllene. These compounds combine to create the strain's aromatic and flavor characteristics, maintaining a consistent chemical structure throughout the maturation process.
With a THC-dominant profile that testing confirms at approximately 17.8%, Vixen is utilized to induce creative, uplifted, and happy effects. It is primarily recommended for consumers seeking support for creativity, social interactions, or mental focus. At this time, no notable offspring have been recorded in the strain’s genetic lineage.

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.
uplifted
morningLimonene anxiolytic/antidepressant via serotonin elevation in prefrontal cortex (Russo 2011); mood improvement without full euphoria; key for balanced-1-1 profiles.
happy
anytimeGenetic Profile
Sativa-dominant
Primarily sativa with indica grounding. Uplifting with body relaxation.
THC-Dominant
High THC, trace CBD. Psychoactive. Full CB1 agonism — euphoria, appetite, analgesia.
