Editorial profile
Crossbow in detail
Origin & classification
The specific version of Crossbow is presented in the continuous source description as a cross of Moonbow 75 and Planet Purple F2 from Archive Seed Bank. This defines the lineage more precisely than the normalized family tree, which only names Moonbow and Planet Purple. The source also indicates that the Moonbow line used is descended from The Original Z. These details refer to the cultivar described and should not be transferred to similarly named variants without verification.
Aroma & taste
Crossbow has a layered, rather herbal aromatic profile. Floral and deeply earthy notes form the foundation, topped by a distinctly fuel-like diesel nuance. In the background, a restrained, slightly tart sweetness is described. The result is neither exclusively sweet nor purely earthy, but is defined by the contrast between floral accents, fuel character and a tart-sweet finish.
Terpene profile
The source description names limonene, beta-caryophyllene and linalool as the key terpenes. The structured data, however, lists limonene, linalool and myrcene. Since these details do not fully match, myrcene should not be considered confirmed; the public profile therefore reproduces only the compounds explicitly named in the continuous description. Terpene profiles can also vary between phenotypes and batches.
Effect tendency
The typical progression of effects is described in two stages. At first, a brief mood-lifting, mildly euphoric and mentally clarifying phase takes center stage. This is then said to develop into deep physical relaxation, described as calming and balancing. These details are experiential descriptions, not guaranteed effects. The medical-use claims contained in the source text are not included.
Cannabinoids, flowering & appearance
For THC, the source gives an average of 26 percent, while the structured field lists 26 percent as an upper value. Because these figures have different meanings, no exact universally applicable value can be established. The only certain point is that Crossbow is characterized there as very THC-rich. CBD is said to be below one percent. Both figures depend on batch, phenotype, cultivation and laboratory analysis.
Further classification
The dataset contains no reliable information on flowering time, growth height, yield or specific cultivation. The documented profile therefore focuses on the specific parent combination, the earthy-floral-diesel aroma and the described transition from brief mental uplift to physical calm.
