Caryophyllene (spicy, peppery notes, anti-inflammatory interaction with CB2 receptors)

Limonene (citrus brightness, uplifting mental aspects); Myrcene (earthy, herbal qualities, enhances bioavailability); trace amounts of Humulene (woody, hoppy notes) and Linalool (floral complexity, anxiolytic qualities)

Enhanced sensory perception (music, visual art, food); improved single-task focus; physical relaxation without heavy sedation; elevated mood and increased sociability in comfortable settings; body warmth and tension relief; heightened appreciation for sensory experiences

2-3 hours with moderate consumption; varies by method, metabolism, and tolerance; vaporized flower may be shorter but more terpene-forward; gradual decline with mental clarity diminishing before physical relaxation dissipates; mild drowsiness possible in final stages with larger doses or evening use

Quick onset within 5-10 minutes when smoked/vaporized; begins with cerebral shift including heightened sensory awareness, increased focus, lifting of mental static; physical sensations develop over 20-30 minutes with warming relaxation beginning in shoulders/neck spreading throughout body; middle phase balances mental engagement with physical relaxation without couch-lock

Dry mouth; dry eyes; anxiety or racing thoughts (particularly with higher doses or in stressful environments for THC-sensitive individuals); slight dizziness during onset especially on empty stomach; paranoia possible for predisposed individuals in unfamiliar settings or with excessive consumption

Hybrid

High-stress work requiring rapid decision-making; operation of vehicles or machinery; situations requiring peak physical coordination; environments where cannabis consumption creates social or legal complications

Cross of Sour Diesel and Girl Scout Cookies (GSC); emerged from West Coast breeding scene in early 2010s; Sour Diesel contributes East Coast heritage through Chemdawg lineage; GSC brings OG Kush and Durban Poison ancestry combining Afghani landrace, South African sativa, and California Kush genetics; original breeder documentation remains obscured though California collectives credited with early stabilized versions

THC: 18-26% (moderately to highly potent); CBD: typically below 1%, some phenotypes 1-2%; CBG: trace to low amounts (0.5-1.5%); provides mentally engaging and physically present experience without overwhelming effects

Gorilla Glue #4 (shares diesel terps and balanced hybrid effects with similar potency but heavier sedation, less sweetness, more resinous); Purple Punch (GSC descendant with sweet profile and relaxing effects but more indica-dominant, fruitier, stronger evening sedation); Wedding Cake (GSC cross with dessert aromatics and balanced effects but sweeter vanilla/cake terps, less citrus, slightly more sedating); Headband (Sour Diesel cross with cerebral effects and physical relaxation but more sativa-leaning, distinct temple/forehead pressure); Sundae Driver (Fruity Pebbles OG × Grape Pie with sweet terps and functional effects but sweeter creamy profile without diesel, slightly less potent, more uplifting)

Moderate resilience to cultivation stressors; reasonable powdery mildew resistance compared to some GSC-lineage strains; maintains 40-50% humidity in flowering; handles moderate nutrient stress; responds well to balanced feeding regimens

8-10 weeks (56-70 days); most phenotypes optimal around day 60-63; GSC-dominant phenotypes may extend to longer range; Sour Diesel-leaning expressions sometimes finish earlier

Moderate to good yield depending on training and environment; proper environmental control critical for maximizing resin production

Medium height with moderate flowering stretch; bushy multi-branched form benefits from topping or low-stress training; internodal spacing varies by phenotype with Diesel-dominant showing more elongation; moderately dense buds with good calyx-to-leaf ratio

Dense but not rock-hard bud structure with visible calyx definition; trichome coverage extending onto small leaves; deep greens with possible purple hues and bright orange pistils; complex aroma immediately evident; sticky resinous texture with intact trichome heads; stems snap with slight bend before breaking (proper cure); avoid brown discoloration, excessive leafiness, weak/grassy aroma, dry/brittle texture, or visible seeds
