An indica-dominant hybrid reported as relaxed, euphoric and happy. Picked for evening wind down and watching tv/movies in the evening. The profile features earthy flavor, fruity diesel aroma and geraniol as the lead terpene.
Terpenes are natural compounds that give cannabis its smell. Compare citrus, pine, and earthy notes to find what you like. They are clues, not a promise of how it feels.
Terpene percentages belong to the jar, not the strain. They move with harvest timing, drying, cure and shelf age — the lighter ones literally evaporate. What holds steady is which terpenes lead, so that is what we rank.

Professor High on Headstash
Okay, notes from the lab couch: the first thing I notice is a warm, mood-brightening lift behind my eyes, a happy, bubbly clarity that makes my thoughts feel organized. Then the body softens, shoulders dropping and a heavy, honeyed calm spreading outward. That's the myrcene doing its job, and the floral, geraniol-forward aroma lingers pleasantly. Music suddenly has layers, and I'm noticing details I'd normally miss. This is a cerebral-meets-relaxing hybrid. Push the dose and the sleepy side takes over, so I'm glad I picked a cozy evening. Too much and my thoughts could get a little twitchy, which is the educational part: potency matters. Dry mouth is real, so water is within reach.
