iShot effects are mostly calming.

iShot is a modern autoflowering variety derived exclusively from Ruderalis genetics. Designed for accessibility, this strain is classified as easy to cultivate in both indoor and outdoor environments, completing its flowering cycle in 60 days. While the resulting yield is characteristically low, the plant serves as a stable genetic foundation for future development, having produced notable offspring including iCritical and iHaze.

The chemical profile of iShot is defined by a complex sequence of fifteen terpenes, led by the dominant influence of myrcene, caryophyllene, and limonene. Secondary and tertiary contributions from pinene, terpinolene, and linalool round out the profile, followed by trace amounts of beta-pinene, humulene, nerolidol, ocimene, bisabolol, guaiol, camphene, caryophyllene-oxide, and p-cymene. This specific arrangement of aromatic compounds provides a nuanced sensory experience for the user.

As a THC-dominant variety, iShot is primarily sought for its ability to induce effects described as relaxed, happy, and uplifted. These qualities make it a functional choice for those managing stress, pain, or sleep-related difficulties. By serving as the parent of iCritical and iHaze, the strain has secured its position within modern breeding programs, documenting a specific genetic legacy within the autoflowering category.
