Auto Blues
Auto Blues is a modern, auto-flowering strain bred from the crossing of Purple Indica and Ruderalis. Developed for those seeking a straightforward cultivation experience, this variety is well-suited for both indoor and outdoor environments. Growers can expect a 70-day flowering period and should be prepared for a modest, low yield. Its development has served as a foundational genetic block for subsequent projects, acting as a parent to notable offspring including Livers Bx1 Auto and Sour Blues.
The terpene profile of Auto Blues is characterized by a long list of compounds, beginning with the dominant myrcene, followed by caryophyllene and limonene as the primary contributors to its sensory experience. The profile continues with pinene, terpinolene, linalool, beta-pinene, humulene, and nerolidol, rounded out by trace amounts of ocimene, bisabolol, guaiol, camphene, caryophyllene-oxide, and p-cymene. These components combine to dictate the nuanced aromatic and flavor complexities defined by these specific chemical structures.
As a THC-dominant cultivar, Auto Blues consistently produces effects that are described as relaxed, happy, and uplifted. These therapeutic properties make the strain a functional option for users managing stress, pain, or difficulties with sleep. Beyond its immediate effects on the user, the strain maintains a significant reputation as a building block for future genetic lines, firmly cementing its role in the evolution of modern auto-flowering cannabis breeding.

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.

spicy
●●○○
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.
