Future #1 is a hybrid cannabis strain bred by Anesia Seeds from Gorilla Glue #4 and Starfighter, known for a pineapple, mango and citrus aroma and a functional, euphoric high.

Where Future #1 Comes From
Future #1 is one of the flagship releases from Anesia Seeds, a breeder that built its reputation on very high-THC feminized seed lines. Anesia describes the cross as Gorilla Glue #4 with a selected Starfighter F2. Leafly and some retailers list the Glue parent as Original Glue, which is another name for the GG4 line, so the sources agree in substance.
Anesia has promoted Future #1 heavily around a claimed 37% THC result from repeated lab tests. Retailers repeat that number, but it has not been independently verified, and home growers logging the strain on GrowDiaries report a much lower average. The strain has spread widely through seed sales, and licensed producers in Canada have released it as flower.
Don’t confuse it with Future from Exotic Genetix or with Future Wife. They are separate strains that share part of the name.
Future #1 Effects: What It Feels Like
Leafly reviewers most often describe Future #1 as focused, creative and energetic. Leafly’s description calls it a euphoric, functional high suited to creative work, daydreaming and good conversation, which matches the Starfighter side’s reputation for a bright, heady lift. The Glue genetics add body weight, so the experience tends to feel grounded rather than racy at moderate doses.
Potency is the main caution. Batches can be strong, and some reviewers mention anxiousness and headaches. If you are new to it, take a small amount, wait, and save heavier use for when you have nothing demanding planned.
Future #1 Terpenes, Aroma and Flavor
Future #1 is known for a fruity profile: pineapple and mango up front, with citrus brightness and an earthy, slightly spicy undertone. Leafly’s flavor tags also include an ammonia-like chemical note, a common trait in Glue-descended strains, which gives the sweetness a sharp edge.
Leafly lists limonene as the dominant terpene, followed by caryophyllene and myrcene. Limonene supports the citrus top notes, caryophyllene adds pepper and spice, and myrcene contributes an earthy, herbal base.
- Limonene: bright citrus, also found in lemon and orange peel
- Beta-caryophyllene: peppery and spicy, also found in black pepper and cloves
- Myrcene: earthy, musky and herbal, also found in mango and hops
Terpene levels vary from grower to grower and batch to batch, so check the lab label on the package. Learn more in our guide to cannabis terpenes.
Side Effects and How to Use Future #1
Leafly reviewers most often report dry mouth, anxiousness and headaches. Those reactions are more likely with large doses of a strong batch, so pace yourself and stay hydrated.
How strong Future #1 feels depends on the batch, your tolerance and how you consume it. Start low, go slow, and read our guide to dosing cannabis.
Do People Use Future #1 for Medical Reasons?
Leafly reviewers most often say they reach for Future #1 for anxiety, stress and low mood. Since some people also report anxiousness from it, sensitive users should start with a very small amount. These are personal reports, not medical evidence.

Growing Future #1
- Flowering: 9–10 weeks
- Yield: Breeder claims up to 700 g per plant; grow diaries report up to about 525 g/m²

Anesia sells Future #1 as feminized seeds with a flowering time of roughly 67 days, or about 9 to 10 weeks. The breeder lists indoor height around 110 to 130 cm and a generous yield, and growers on Leafly describe tall plants with plenty of flowers. Topping or training helps keep the canopy even. An autoflowering version also exists for growers who want a shorter cycle.
Home-grow rules depend on the state: adults can grow at home in states such as California (six plants per residence), Michigan (12 per residence) and Oregon (four per household), while Washington and Illinois allow home growing only for registered medical patients.
