Grow facts come from the breeder first, then seed banks and strain databases. With 2 sources we show the range and the middle; with 3 or more, the range and the median, after leaving out values far from the rest. The breeder's own value is the anchor, unless it is far from every other source (outside their range and more than 20% from their median); then we show the full range and the median of all of them. A fact from a single source is marked "1 source", and a fact no source lists is left out. Yields are converted to one unit: indoor per square meter, outdoor per plant.
CTU writes every profile from these facts; we do not copy other sites' descriptions. Values that are a generic default in the source data are left out. Last checked Oct 21, 2026.

About Pennywise
Pennywise is an indica cannabis strain credited to TGA Genetics. Public lineage data lists it as a cross of Harlequin and Jack the Ripper.
How strong is Pennywise?
Public listings give Pennywise a THC level of 8%, which is on the milder end. Compared with all strains in our research dataset that have their own THC figure, it is higher than roughly 2% of them. It also lists 8% CBD, which few strains do; most list close to none. Potency varies by grower, batch and lab, so read these numbers as typical values, not guarantees.
Pennywise aroma, flavor and terpenes
People most often describe the flavor of Pennywise as pepper, woody, spicy and herbal. The terpenes listed most often are myrcene (earthy, musky), terpinolene (fresh, herbal) and pinene (pine). Myrcene is the lead terpene for about 44% of the high-confidence strains in our dataset, so it is a common profile. Terpenes shape smell and taste; their levels change from batch to batch.
Reported effects of Pennywise
People who have tried Pennywise most often report feeling relaxed, sleepy, focused, happy and uplifted. These are user reports, not promises. Effects differ from person to person and depend on dose, setting and tolerance.
