Gargoyle
Gargoyle is a modern hybrid whose precise history remains an open question. While it is verified that the strain inherits genetics from Candy Sluricane, its lineage includes at least one additional parent that remains undocumented or unconfirmed by breeders. No public record identifies the original creator of this cultivar, and its developmental timeline is not publicly listed. Given the scarcity of breeder documentation, its origins are best characterized as a blend of known and mystery genetics rather than a fully mapped pedigree.
The sensory profile of Gargoyle is defined by a complex chemical composition. Its primary terpene is caryophyllene, followed by myrcene, nerolidol, limonene, humulene, pinene, bisabolol, beta-pinene, ocimene, linalool, camphene, guaiol, and p-cymene. Because this specific terpene sequence is confirmed through direct lab analysis, these compounds establish the foundation of the strain's aromatic and flavor characteristics. Growers can expect a cultivation cycle with a 56-day flowering period, marking Gargoyle as a variety of moderate difficulty that performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments while producing a high yield.
Users report that Gargoyle produces effects that are relaxed, happy, and uplifted. These characteristics make it a functional choice for those seeking to manage stress and pain, or for individuals looking to support sleep hygiene. The strain is THC-dominant, though specific potency levels remain an estimated value rather than a verified universal standard. To date, there are no recorded instances of notable offspring attributed to this specific genetic line.

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: sedative properties; enhances transdermal pharmaceutical penetration; antimalarial; PMC11060501: GABAergic-mediated antinociception.
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
Balanced Hybrid
Equal indica and sativa genetics. Balanced body and mind effects.
THC-Dominant
High THC, trace CBD. Psychoactive. Full CB1 agonism — euphoria, appetite, analgesia.
