Kraken Auto
Kraken Auto is a modern autoflowering variety derived directly from its single parent, The Super Auto. Designed for accessibility, this strain is well-suited for cultivation in both indoor and outdoor environments, maintaining an easy difficulty level throughout its 77-day flowering cycle. While the plant is recognized for its straightforward growth requirements, cultivators should anticipate a low yield compared to other varieties. The genetic lineage of this strain has also served as a foundation for subsequent breeding projects, resulting in offspring such as Blue Kraken Auto and Public Enemy Auto.
The sensory profile of Kraken Auto is defined by a complex, layered terpene expression that descends from myrcene as the primary constituent, followed by caryophyllene, limonene, pinene, and terpinolene. The secondary and tertiary notes include linalool, beta-pinene, humulene, and nerolidol, with trace amounts of ocimene, bisabolol, guaiol, camphene, caryophyllene-oxide, and p-cymene. This diverse chemical arrangement contributes to a nuanced aromatic experience, providing a broad spectrum of volatile compounds that differentiate the strain.
As a THC-dominant variety, Kraken Auto is characterized by a consistent set of effects, typically leaving the consumer feeling relaxed, happy, and uplifted. These attributes make the strain a functional choice for users seeking relief from stress, various forms of pain, and difficulty achieving sleep. By balancing its therapeutic potential with a balanced psychoactive profile, Kraken Auto has cemented its place within its lineage, serving as a reliable producer of both medicine and progeny for modern cannabis gardens.

●●○○
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
