Lavender is a indica-leaning cannabis strain with a floral lavender, sweet spice, light earthy hash profile, 18-22% THC range, and a dominant terpene blend of linalool, caryophyllene, myrcene. It is best known for calm evenings, the lavender-forward evening combo, with effects setting in medium, 5 minutes, calming relaxed body wave. Terp Bros NYC stocks Lavender-family cuts and similar terpene profiles across both our Astoria and Ozone Park CAURD-licensed locations, lab-tested under NY OCM Part 113 standards.
Effects + Reported Use Cases
Lavender is typically reported as a indica-leaning experience: calm evenings, the lavender-forward evening combo. Onset is medium, 5 minutes, calming relaxed body wave. Duration runs 2 to 4 hours when inhaled, longer when consumed as edibles or rosin gummies. The cannabinoid + terpene profile drives the felt experience, not just the THC number on the label.
Terp Bros sells adult-use cannabis for adults 21 and older, and nothing here is medical advice or a treatment claim. What our budtenders will do is explain the terpene and cannabinoid profile, talk through the aroma and the reported feel, and help match a product format and dose to the kind of session you have in mind. Every product is lab-tested with a certificate of analysis on the package and on the Dutchie product page.
Terpene Profile
What each terpene is and how it behaves is covered in our terpene guide. Below is what they do in this cultivar.
Lavender is built on a dominant terpene stack of linalool, caryophyllene, myrcene, which together produce the floral lavender, sweet spice, light earthy hash aroma profile customers recognize across batches. Terpene-led recommendations are how our budtenders walk new customers off "biggest THC number wins" thinking and into picking a strain that actually matches the feeling they want.
Linalool
In Lavender specifically, linalool contributes floral, calming, evening-leaning.
Caryophyllene
In Lavender specifically, caryophyllene contributes peppery, warm, grounding on the body.
Myrcene
In Lavender specifically, myrcene contributes body-relaxing, heavy, classic indica-feel.
Lineage + Genetics
Lavender traces back to Super Skunk crossed with Big Skunk Korean crossed with Afghani Hawaiian, with a documented origin story rooted in Soma Seeds Amsterdam, early 2000s, Cannabis Cup winner 2005 for the genuine lavender terpene nose. The flowering time runs 8-9 weeks, which puts it in the standard commercial-cultivar window most NY indoor growers are working with.
Budtender Notes, Queens-Specific Observations
one of the rare linalool-dominant strains we can keep in stock, customers who want a calmer profile gravitate to it because the lavender terp pairs with a mellow high. That observation is the kind of pattern only a store with foot traffic in a specific neighborhood can identify. The Astoria walk-in crowd is different from the Ozone Park walk-in crowd, and both are different from a Manhattan dispensary's customer base.
How to Try Lavender in Queens
Ask at either counter for the current batch and its certificate of analysis: Astoria, 36-10 Ditmars Blvd or Ozone Park, 135-26 Cross Bay Blvd. Same-day delivery covers most of Queens. Formats: flower, pre-rolls, vapes, concentrates, edibles (NY OCM caps edibles at 10mg THC per serving, 100mg per package). When a cultivar is out of stock we say so and point to the closest terpene profile on the live menu.
Is Lavender a daytime or evening strain? Yes for most customers. Lavender's linalool + caryophyllene terpene dominance combined with the indica-leaning lineage makes it one of our requested evening strains. Pair it with a low-dose CBN-blend gummy for full evening wind-down support.
Does Lavender cause anxiety? Less likely than high-terpinolene sativas. Lavender contains caryophyllene (peppery, grounding), linalool (calming) which tend to read calmer than racy. Start with a small dose if you are sensitive to cannabis, and ask a budtender if 1:1 THC:CBD versions of this strain family are in stock.
What is the THC percentage of Lavender? Lavender typically tests in the 18-22% THC range across NY-licensed cultivators. The exact percentage varies by batch and cultivator, every Terp Bros NYC flower jar has the certificate of analysis on the package and on the Dutchie product page. CBD is typically less than 1% in this cultivar.
Is Lavender safe for first-time cannabis customers? Lavender is one of the friendlier strains for first-time customers because the body-heavy effect tends to be physically grounding rather than anxiety-provoking. Start with a small dose, and have a low-key evening plan, this is not a strain for active social settings.
