Hypnotic
Hypnotic is a modern hybrid cannabis strain derived from its parent, Chronic. As a contemporary development, this strain represents a controlled breeding effort designed to optimize plant architecture and cannabinoid expression. Cultivators can expect a moderate growth difficulty, with the plant reaching maturity in a 53-day flowering window. This variety thrives in both indoor and outdoor environments while consistently producing a high yield.
The chemical profile of Hypnotic is defined by a primary presence of myrcene, followed by caryophyllene and limonene as secondary and tertiary terpenes, respectively. This configuration dictates the sensory experience, grounding the aromatic profile in the earthy and musky characteristics attributed to myrcene, with the peppery spice of caryophyllene and the bright citrus notes of limonene providing the nuance. These terpenes work in concert to establish the foundation of the strain's olfactory signature.
As a THC-dominant hybrid, Hypnotic is noted for producing effects that are primarily relaxed, happy, and uplifted. Because of this physiological profile, it is frequently utilized by consumers seeking relief from stress, pain, and sleep difficulties. The genetic legacy of this hybrid continues through its notable offspring, Sekret Machine, which carries forward the strain's established biological characteristics.
Terpene Profile
Synergies (+) and conflicts (−) are relative to each other within this profile.
| Terpene | Share | Character | Likely role |
|---|---|---|---|
| myrcene | ~60% | earthy | relaxing · solo |
| caryophyllene | ~28% | spicy | relaxing · social |
| limonene | ~12% | citrus | social · creative |

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.
Genetic Profile
Balanced Hybrid
Equal indica and sativa genetics. Balanced body and mind effects.
