Ares is a modern hybrid strain derived from the genetics of Miracle Alien Cookies. Developed for cultivators seeking a productive specimen, this strain performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments. With a flowering cycle of 65 days, it is characterized by a moderate level of cultivation difficulty and is noted for providing growers with high yields.
The chemical profile of Ares is defined by a diverse array of compounds, lead by a dominant concentration of myrcene. This is followed in descending order by limonene, caryophyllene, linalool, humulene, bisabolol, beta-pinene, pinene, and finally, trace levels of terpinolene. This balanced terpene structure contributes to its specific aromatic and flavor profile, reflecting the complex hereditary contributions of its lineage.
As a THC-dominant cultivar with approximately 9.7% THC and no significant CBD content, Ares is primarily recognized for its ability to induce effects of relaxation, happiness, and an uplifted mood. These properties make it a frequent choice for users seeking relief from symptoms of stress, pain, or difficulty sleeping. Currently, there are no recorded cultivars or notable offspring derived from this specific genetic line.

Research notes below describe isolated terpene mechanisms and early findings. They do not guarantee effects from this strain and are not medical advice.
Russo 2011: naloxone-sensitive analgesia, potentiates barbiturate sleep; dominant sedating terpenoid; blocks hepatic carcinogenesis by aflatoxin.
Russo 2011: increases serotonin in prefrontal cortex + dopamine in hippocampus via 5-HT1A; Johns Hopkins 2024: significantly reduced anxiety vs THC alone.

Effects
Reported effects — derived from terpene chemistry and cannabinoid profile.
relaxed
eveningPrimary endpoint of myrcene+linalool sedating combinations; GABA modulation is the dominant mechanistic driver.
happy
anytimeuplifted
morningLimonene anxiolytic/antidepressant via serotonin elevation in prefrontal cortex (Russo 2011); mood improvement without full euphoria; key for balanced-1-1 profiles.
Genetic Profile
Balanced Hybrid
Equal indica and sativa genetics. Balanced body and mind effects.
THC-Dominant
