Guillotine is a modern automatic variety resulting from the cross of NYC Diesel and Ruderalis. Due to the nature of its development, specific breeder history and the original motivation behind this pairing remain undocumented. This strain is designed to complete its flowering cycle in 62 days, making it an accessible option for cultivators of various skill levels. It is suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments, though growers should anticipate a low yield from this selection.
The chemical profile of Guillotine is marked by a complex array of compounds, with a confirmed terpene hierarchy starting with myrcene and continuing through terpinolene, caryophyllene, limonene, humulene, pinene, linalool, bisabolol, beta-pinene, nerolidol, ocimene, guaiol, and camphene. This specific sequence of terpenes shapes the strain’s sensory experience, providing a distinct aromatic and flavor profile that relies on an interplay between these dominant and trace components.
As a THC-dominant strain, Guillotine is associated with effects that are consistently characterized as relaxed, happy, and uplifted. These properties guide its use cases, as individuals frequently reach for this cultivar to manage symptoms related to stress, pain, and sleep difficulties. Despite its status as a distinct genetic entry in modern breeding, there are currently no notable offspring recorded for this strain.

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
Autoflower
Photoperiod-independent. Flowers based on age, not light cycle. Compact and fast.
THC-Dominant
High THC, trace CBD. Psychoactive. Full CB1 agonism — euphoria, appetite, analgesia.
