Hoodwink
Hoodwink is a modern hybrid strain created through the crossing of Cookies and Cream and Zawtlatti. Its origins are specific to its documented parentage, and there is no record of its initial breeder or developmental history beyond these genetic components. For growers, this strain exhibits a moderate level of difficulty and requires a 63-day flowering period. It is versatile enough to thrive in both indoor and outdoor environments, consistently producing a high yield at harvest.
The terpene profile for Hoodwink is characterized by a specific hierarchy of compounds, beginning with limonene, followed by caryophyllene, humulene, bisabolol, linalool, pinene, myrcene, beta-pinene, ocimene, and finally terpinolene. Because this profile is based on direct lab-verified data, it establishes a distinct chemical identity that informs the strain's sensory expression. The presence of these compounds suggests a complex aromatic range that bridges the gap between citrus notes and deeper, woody undertones.
As a THC-dominant hybrid, Hoodwink is reported to induce effects that help users feel relaxed, happy, and uplifted. These characteristics make it a functional candidate for addressing stress and physical pain, while also serving as a potential aid for sleep. At this time, there are no recorded offspring traced back to this particular genetic line.
Terpene Profile
Synergies (+) and conflicts (−) are relative to each other within this profile.
| Terpene | Share | Character | Likely role |
|---|---|---|---|
| limonene | ~60% | citrus | social · creative |
| caryophyllene | ~28% | spicy | relaxing · social |
| humulene | ~12% | earthy | focus · solo |
Research notes below describe isolated terpene mechanisms and early findings. They do not guarantee effects from this strain and are not medical advice.
Russo 2011: increases serotonin in prefrontal cortex + dopamine in hippocampus via 5-HT1A; Johns Hopkins 2024: significantly reduced anxiety vs THC alone.
~28%
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.
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.
