Auto Oil
Auto Oil is a modern, auto-flowering cultivar that descends from the classic pairing of Chemdog and Hindu Kush. Its origins are otherwise undocumented, with no specific breeder information or historical timeline recorded for its development. Because of its genetic makeup, it serves as a straightforward option for cultivation, performing well in both indoor and outdoor environments. Growers can expect a 65-day flowering period, though the strain tends to produce an estimated low yield.
The chemical expression of Auto Oil is characterized by a complex array of terpenes, beginning with a dominant presence of caryophyllene followed by myrcene, limonene, terpinolene, and linalool. The secondary and tertiary notes include humulene, bisabolol, beta-pinene, pinene, ocimene, nerolidol, and guaiol. This specific terpene profile likely influences the strain's sensory profile, contributing to a nuanced aroma and flavor that reflects its diverse chemical composition.
As a THC-dominant variety, Auto Oil is primarily noted for producing effects that are relaxed, happy, and uplifted. These characteristics make it a common selection for addressing issues related to stress, pain, and sleep. While it remains a distinct entry in the contemporary market, there are currently no recorded offspring associated with this strain, leaving its role in modern breeding lines as a point of ongoing observation.
Terpene Profile
Synergies (+) and conflicts (−) are relative to each other within this profile.
| Terpene | Share | Character | Likely role |
|---|---|---|---|
| caryophyllene | ~60% | spicy | relaxing · social |
| myrcene | ~28% | earthy | relaxing · solo |
| limonene | ~12% | citrus | social · creative |

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: 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
