If you’ve been sleeping on Citradelic Sunset, this is your sign to stop. Ghost Train Haze × Mandarin Sunset, grown by us in both Missouri and Illinois. Here’s the rundown for you flower fans.
The Lineage
Citradelic Sunset is a sativa-dominant cross of Ghost Train Haze and Mandarin Sunset.
Ghost Train Haze brings the potency, and it’s known for clear, functional energy that doesn’t tip into anxiety the way some high-THC sativas can. Mandarin Sunset is the counterweight: sweet, citrus-forward, with a warmer and more uplifting character than its indica-leaning genetics suggest. The cross produces a sativa that’s uplifting without being wired. The warmth in this strain comes from the Mandarin Sunset side.
The Terpene Profile
Terpinolene · beta-Myrcene · Ocimene
Terpinolene leads, and it explains a lot. It’s the backbone of strains described as “uplifting but not racy” associated with clear, creative energy that supports focus and mood without the edge that limonene-heavy sativas can produce.
Ocimene adds the brightness. Sweet, herbal, faintly tropical, it enhances the uplifting quality without competing with the terpinolene. It’s what gives Citradelic Sunset that light, slightly hazy character most people notice on first use.
beta-Myrcene is the moderator. Left on its own it’s sedating, but in this profile it functions as a grounding note, rounding the edges and preventing the high from feeling sharp or overwhelming.
Together: uplifting, functional, warm.
How It Feels
Bright mandarin orange on the inhale, with a sweet piney finish. The effect matches: forward-moving, warm, present. Our strains range from 19.25% – 27.46% THC, so expereinced smokers will feel it without being too wired or couch-locked. Most people find it motivating without feeling like they’re moving too fast.
Good for mornings and early afternoons, being outside, creative work, and social settings that call for presence over sedation. Not a nightcap strain.
