Deimos
Deimos is a modern, auto-flowering strain derived from Ruderalis genetics. This variety is designed for accessibility, featuring an easy difficulty rating that makes it suitable for cultivation in both indoor and outdoor environments. Growers should expect a 60-day flowering period and a low total yield. Its genetic influence is notable in a variety of subsequent cultivars, serving as parent material for Auto Chingón, Cream Auto, Hubba Bubba Auto, Maximus, and Son Risas Auto.
The chemical profile of Deimos is complex, led by a dominant presence of myrcene, followed by caryophyllene, limonene, and pinene. The arrangement of minor terpenes includes terpinolene, linalool, beta-pinene, humulene, and nerolidol, trailing off into trace amounts of ocimene, bisabolol, guaiol, camphene, caryophyllene-oxide, and p-cymene. This specific composition dictates the sensory experience, offering a nuanced interaction between earthy myrcene foundations and the sharper notes provided by the subsequent caryophyllene and limonene.
As a THC-dominant variety, Deimos is primarily utilized for its ability to induce states of relaxation, happiness, and an uplifted mood. These effects make the strain a functional choice for those seeking relief from stress and pain, and it is frequently employed as an aid for sleep. The strain leaves a lasting legacy in the industry, having contributed its genetic building blocks to various offspring that remain in circulation today.

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.
