Farm Gas (Cannabis flos Aurora): lineage from Sour Diesel and GMO, and the profile depends on the source

Where does Farm Gas come from and who cultivated it?

Farm Gas was cultivated by the Canadian company Aurora in collaboration with North 40 Cannabis, and its parents are Sour Diesel and GMO. The lineage is established, as confirmed by two independent descriptions: the industry service StratCann when granting the breeder rights to the strain and a database describing the genetics of this cross.

Both parents have their own entries in Polish pharmacies, so the lineage can be traced back more than one generation. Sour Diesel it appears in our chart without established parents, as the available descriptions of its origin contradict each other and none can be identified as certain. GMO has documented parents, Chemdawg and Girl Scout Cookies, and its phenotype has been described as garlicky.

The name conveys less than it seems. The fuel component is also listed as Modified Gas from a completely different producer, and these two strains do not share a common parent or breeder. The repeated word comes from the naming convention describing the aroma, not from kinship. Therefore, we read the lineage from the breeder's description, not from the sound of the trade name. The breeder's rights were granted to Farm Gas along with the second strain of the same application, Driftwood Diesel, which is not listed at all in Poland.

Which producers supply Farm Gas to Polish pharmacies?

One. Farm Gas is available in Polish pharmacies exclusively as an entry from Aurora, the Canadian producer, which has ten strains listed in our database. Therefore, there is no alternative version of the same name from another supplier, and any comparison of batches pertains to the same manufacturer and the same documentation.

Dried flower is a pharmaceutical raw material dispensed by prescription in the Rpw category, so entries from the list are not chosen independently at the pharmacy counter. Separately from the pharmaceutical raw material, we maintain a category of over-the-counter dried flower, in which none of these entries are present.

Aurora supplies ten names to Poland, and Farm Gas is among them as one of two with lineage tracing back to the diesel line. The producer cultivates in their own facilities, which means that the documentation of the batch comes from one entity, not from an intermediary packaging raw material purchased elsewhere.

The composition of supplies changes over time and this is not a fault of the list. The permit for the raw material expires after five years, the wholesaler may be out of stock for several weeks, and the producer can withdraw a batch after testing results. Therefore, we maintain the current state exclusively in the list of strains available in Polish pharmacies, updated separately from the pages describing individual names.

What does Farm Gas smell and taste like?

The descriptions indicate four notes: citrus, fruity, fuel, and peppery. The first impression can be sour citrus, followed by a heavy tone associated with spilled fuel, and in the background, there is a sharpness reminiscent of freshly ground pepper. The trade name refers specifically to this second note.

The aroma from the description is not a measurement. The scent notes in strain bases come from the manufacturer's material or from the accounts of those who opened the raw material, not from sensory analysis conducted according to protocol. Two batches of the same name can smell different because the scent depends on the harvest time, the drying method, and how long the package has been in the warehouse.

The terpene composition attributed to this strain includes humulene, caryophyllene, limonene, myrcene, and nerolidol, although not all of these names appear in both sources. The fuel tone is usually attributed not to a single compound, but to a combination of volatile sulfur compounds with a terpene background, and none of the available databases measure the first ones for Farm Gas. We do not provide percentage shares with the names because both databases omit the denominator, and their total values do not add up to one hundred. Nerolidol is the only one mentioned in both descriptions, so it is the most reliable reference point here, although it does not account for the fuel tone.

How long does it take for Farm Gas to start working, and how long does the effect last?

It depends on the method of administration, not the strain name. No concentration measurements over time have been published for Farm Gas, so the ranges below describe the behavior of dried flower when vaporized and after ingestion, and they apply equally to any other item on the list.

The route of administration determines the course more than the variety itself. After vaporization, the substance passes from the lungs to the blood almost immediately, so the first sensations appear after a few minutes, the intensity increases for another ten to thirty minutes, and the whole effect lasts for two to four hours. After ingestion, the raw material first passes through the intestine and liver, so the first sensations are awaited from half an hour to two hours, and the episode can last six, sometimes eight hours. Hence the most common mistake with oral administration: anyone who thinks nothing is happening after thirty minutes and takes another dose will receive both doses at once. The above ranges describe the route of administration, not this variety; pharmacokinetic studies for a single cultivar have not been published.

The difference between these two methods is often confused with the difference between strains. Anyone comparing Farm Gas with another item, but once grinding it for vaporization and another time preparing it for oral use, is actually comparing two methods of administration. A conclusion about the strain itself can only be drawn from such a comparison when the method and dose are identical on both sides.

What is known and what is not known about the effects of Farm Gas?

It is known what terpene composition two Polish services attribute to this strain, and it is known that both descriptions differ from each other. However, nothing is known about the effects of the strain itself on humans: no clinical studies on a single cultivar have been conducted or published so far, and available works concern isolated terpenes.

Both sources describe the same Aurora product, yet they differ in composition. The budcare.pl service lists five terpenes: humulene, caryophyllene, limonene, myrcene, and nerolidol. The medweed.pl service only mentions nerolidol for this strain, so the four names from the first list are absent where the second source is silent. The discrepancy also extends to genetics, as the first description calls Farm Gas an indica strain, while the second calls it a hybrid.

The terpene indicated as the leading one here is limonene, so we are gathering evidence for it. A study published in 2002 in the journal Phytomedicine (PMID:12587690) showed the following. Limonene administered intraperitoneally in mice exhibited muscle relaxant effects (rota-rod test) at a dose of 50 mg/kg and prolonged sleep time induced by pentobarbital at a dose of 200 mg/kg (about 2.6 times); in the elevated plus-maze test, already at a dose of 5 mg/kg, it reduced the number of entries into the open arms, which the authors described as an anxiogenic effect, not anxiolytic. A newer study from 2025 in the journal Behavioural Pharmacology (PMID:40622197) dealt with pain and inflammation. Limonene reduced paw swelling induced by carrageenan in rats and pain responses in the formalin test in mice; the effect was linked to the l-arginine/nitric oxide/cGMP/KATP channel pathway and the involvement of opioid and benzodiazepine receptors.

Separately, it should be noted what these studies did not show. The anxiolytic effect of limonene in humans has not been demonstrated. It has also not been shown that isolated limonene has anxiolytic effects in animals; the only available data from the elevated plus-maze test showed an opposite effect in mice, reducing the number of entries into the open arms even at a low dose. Everything else circulating about this strain comes from the manufacturer's material or from the accounts of people using the raw material, and such sources do not replace research.

What side effects have been reported after using Farm Gas?

None under that name. Reports go to supervision with the batch number of a specific product, not with the name of the cultivar, so there is simply no separate statistics for Farm Gas. The following description pertains to dried flower as a group of raw materials, and that is all that can be said honestly about it.

Reports of adverse effects are collected for medicinal products with a batch number, not for the strain name, so the following pertains to hemp dried flower as a group of raw materials. The most frequently reported symptoms are dry mouth, red eyes, and increased heart rate. Dizziness upon rapid standing, daytime drowsiness, and temporary worsening of short-term memory are less frequently described, as well as anxiety that increases with dosage. A separate issue is medications taken concurrently, especially sedatives and those affecting coagulation: their assessment requires knowledge of the entire list of preparations, not just the description of the plant. We do not provide the frequency of these symptoms numerically, as public compilations for hemp dried flower in Poland do not separate them by individual products.

Two things from this list are worth relating to Farm Gas itself. The declared content of the psychoactive substance is high in this product compared to the list, and the increase in anxiety has been described as dose-dependent, not dependent on the name on the package. The reaction can also differ upon first contact with the raw material compared to after several weeks of use, as determined by the attending physician, not the strain description.

What do the boiling temperatures of the terpenes in Farm Gas say about the vaporizer settings?

Less than popular tables suggest. Among the names attributed to this strain, limonene boils at 177.8 degrees Celsius, myrcene at 166.8, and caryophyllene only at 257.5. For humulene and nerolidol, none of the collected sources provide measurements taken at atmospheric pressure, so their thresholds cannot be compared with the others.

The boiling point is not a threshold, below which nothing evaporates.. The compound also transitions to vapor at a lower temperature, just more slowly, as vapor pressure increases with temperature in an exponential manner. For this reason, the table linking the terpene to a single number describes a chemical property, not a setting of the equipment. The limonene actually has two values in the collected records, as the measurements come from different studies. The record for nerolidol mentions 275-277 degrees, but without specified pressure, and the only record for humulene was taken at a reduced pressure of three millimeters of mercury, so neither can be placed in the same column as the others.

Do tego number on the vaporizer display. it is not the temperature of the dried flower. The setting describes the heating element or the air entering the chamber, and the material is cooled by the flow during inhalation and heats unevenly. There is a difference between one value and another, but it has not been publicly measured, so we do not provide it numerically. Separately, we explain why tabele temperatur they contradict each other from different sources.

Which strains from Polish pharmacies are related to Farm Gas?

Two. Chemango Kush shares a parent with GMO, while Sourdough shares Sour Diesel. Both come from the same producer, so the relationship here is paired with a common origin of the raw material, not just a shared word in the trade name. There is no third entry like this in the list.

Chemango Kush has a four-parent lineage, and among its components is GMO, the same one whose phenotype was described as garlicky. However, the rest of the lineage goes in a different direction, through OG Kush and Wedding Cake, so the similarity ends with one ancestor.

Sourdough shares with Farm Gas the second parent, namely Sour Diesel, and the other half of the lineage comes from Wedding Cake. An interesting aspect of the graph is that both related names meet Farm Gas from two different sides: one through the diesel line, the other through GMO. However, they are connected by Wedding Cake, which is not present in the lineage of Farm Gas at all.

Neither Sour Diesel nor GMO disappear from the list as separate entries, because both names have their own suppliers in Polish pharmacies, different from Aurora. Thus, the pairing of parent and offspring is feasible, although it concerns raw material from two different cultivations and two independent documentations.

Frequently Asked Questions about Farm Gas

Is Farm Gas an indica strain?

It depends on the source. One description calls it an indica strain, another a hybrid, and the lineage after Sour Diesel and GMO does not clarify this definitively. The division into indica and sativa does not have a counterpart in the chemical composition of the raw material.

How many producers supply Farm Gas to Polish pharmacies?

One, the Canadian Aurora. There is no second entry with this name in the list, so the comparison of series always concerns the same supplier and the same documentation.

What THC content is reported for Farm Gas?

The range is 24.3-29.7%, as the producer's declaration has a tolerance of ten percent of the value, and providing a single number would be false precision. Only one source provides the tolerance for this entry.

Does limonene from Farm Gas have anxiolytic effects?

This has not been demonstrated. Available studies concern isolated limonene administered to rodents, and in the elevated cross maze test, the effect turned out to be the opposite of what was expected.

Does the smell of Farm Gas say anything about its potency?

No. The intensity of the aroma depends on the terpene content, which is measured separately from the content of psychoactive substances. A strong fuel tone can be mistaken for potency, although the two are not related.

Why does the availability of Farm Gas change from month to month?

Because the list depends on permits and deliveries. The permit expires after five years, the series can be withdrawn after a test result, and the wholesaler can run out of stock for several weeks. We maintain the current status exclusively in the comparison of strains.
