Cabeca de Preto
Cabeca de Preto is a modern autoflowering variety developed through the crossing of Manga Rosa and Ruderalis. Due to the nature of its development, specific information regarding the timeline or primary breeders behind its creation remains undocumented. This strain is designed for both indoor and outdoor cultivation, offering a streamlined growing experience that is considered easy for cultivators of all skill levels. Growers should note that the plant reaches maturity within a 55-day flowering period and typically provides a low yield.
The chemical complexity of this strain is defined by a broad terpene profile led by myrcene, followed by caryophyllene, limonene, pinene, terpinolene, linalool, beta-pinene, humulene, nerolidol, ocimene, bisabolol, guaiol, camphene, caryophyllene-oxide, and p-cymene. These compounds contribute to its distinct sensory characteristics, creating a profile that likely expresses a nuanced aromatic range based on this specific confirmed order of dominance. The interplay of these terpenes informs the plant's unique organoleptic qualities, grounded in its standardized chemical composition.
As a THC-dominant variety, Cabeca de Preto is known for producing effects that leave users feeling relaxed, happy, and uplifted. These therapeutic properties make it a frequent choice for those seeking relief from stress and pain, as well as those looking for support with sleep. While the strain serves as a functional resource for symptom management, it has not generated any recorded offspring to date, remaining a distinct entry within the modern autoflowering catalog.

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.
