Wowza
Wowza is a modern hybrid strain derived from its parent, Taste the Rainbow. As a result of this specific genetic lineage, the plant requires a moderate level of expertise to cultivate, performing well in both indoor and outdoor environments. Growers can expect a high yield from this variety, which reaches maturity after a 56-day flowering period.
The chemical profile of Wowza is defined by a complex array of terpenes, led by caryophyllene, limonene, and humulene. This arrangement is rounded out by the presence of linalool, myrcene, beta-pinene, pinene, ocimene, bisabolol, guaiol, camphene, and terpinolene. These constituents work in concert to establish the strain's aromatic and flavor profile, marking it as a THC-dominant option for those interested in its varied botanical composition.
Consumers typically report feeling relaxed, happy, and uplifted following the use of this THC-dominant hybrid. Its primary use cases include the management of stress, pain, and sleep difficulties. Wowza has also solidified its position within the nursery market as a significant parent strain, with notable offspring including Banana Laffy Taffy, Bowza, Cab’s Here, Centerfold, Chocolada, Danny Gare, Laser Tag, Oh MI, Orange Meringue, Oy Vey!, Rainbow Bridge, and Rainbow Sorbet.

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
