Auto Acid
Auto Acid is a modern, autoflowering variety derived from a lineage involving ruderalis genetics. Designed for ease of cultivation, this strain is well-suited for both indoor and outdoor environments, reaching maturity after a 75-day flowering period. While the genetics lead to generally low yields, the plant remains a manageable option for growers seeking a straightforward production cycle.
The sensory profile of Auto Acid is defined by a complex arrangement of terpenes, led by the dominant influence of myrcene, followed by caryophyllene, limonene, pinene, and terpinolene. The secondary and tertiary layers include linalool, beta-pinene, humulene, nerolidol, ocimene, bisabolol, guaiol, camphene, caryophyllene-oxide, and p-cymene. This diverse chemical composition results in an aromatic experience that spans these various botanical notes, reflecting the depth of its terpene profile.
As a THC-dominant variety, Auto Acid reliably produces effects characterized by a sense of being relaxed, happy, and uplifted. These properties make the strain a functional choice for individuals addressing symptoms related to stress, pain, or difficulty with sleep. The genetic legacy of this cultivar is further evidenced by its status as the parent strain of Lebanese Acid.

Russo 2011: naloxone-sensitive analgesia, potentiates barbiturate sleep; dominant sedating terpenoid; blocks hepatic carcinogenesis by aflatoxin.

Russo 2011: only terpene that is a selective full CB2 agonist (100 nM); Gertsch et al. 2008: acts as dietary cannabinoid; unique anti-inflammatory and gastric cytoprotective properties.
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.
