Gas Leak is a modern hybrid strain derived from the parentage of Fire 18. Developed for growers seeking a balance of vigor and output, this cultivar is suitable for cultivation in both indoor and outdoor environments. With a moderate growth difficulty, the plant requires consistent maintenance throughout its 63-day flowering cycle to reach its potential for a high yield. Its genetic influence remains evident in its progeny, which notably includes Kona Kush.
The aromatic profile of Gas Leak is defined by a complex chemical composition, led by a dominant presence of caryophyllene and supported by prominent notes of limonene and linalool. This terpene base is further rounded out by humulene, guaiol, and bisabolol, with subtle accents of beta-pinene, nerolidol, and pinene. The profile continues to diversify through trace contributions from myrcene, ocimene, borneol, caryophyllene-oxide, geraniol, camphene, terpinolene, valencene, sabinene, eucalyptol, and gamma-terpinene to complete its nuanced sensory structure.
THC-dominant in its cannabinoid profile, Gas Leak delivers reported sensations of feeling relaxed, happy, and uplifted. Due to these primary effects, the strain is frequently selected by users to manage symptoms of stress, pain, and sleep-related difficulties. As a modern hybrid, it serves as a functional addition to contemporary cannabis cultivation, cemented by its capacity to produce offspring like Kona Kush that continue to circulate within the broader genetic marketplace.

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.
