Marathon OG Auto
Marathon OG Auto is a modern, autoflowering variety with an undocumented lineage. As an accessible cultivar designed for diverse setups, it is categorized as easy to grow in both indoor and outdoor environments. The plant reaches its conclusion after an 85-day flowering period, though it is noted for producing a low yield. Its development has contributed to the broader genetic landscape, serving as the parent for notable cultivars such as Amulet OG and Midnight Marathon F4.
The sensory profile of Marathon OG Auto is defined by a primary concentration of myrcene, followed by caryophyllene and limonene as secondary and tertiary terpenes, respectively. This specific arrangement of compounds dictates its aromatic profile and overall chemical nuance. These terpenes provide the foundational structure for the experience, bridging the gap between the plant's structural development and its observed effects on the consumer.
As a THC-dominant strain, Marathon OG Auto is reported to induce effects characterized by relaxation, happiness, and an uplifted mood. These properties make it a frequent choice for users seeking support in managing stress, physical pain, and sleep quality. Its genetic legacy continues through its verified offspring, sustaining its influence within contemporary breeding programs while maintaining a consistent profile centered on its specific cannabinoid and terpene composition.
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 |
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: naloxone-sensitive analgesia, potentiates barbiturate sleep; dominant sedating terpenoid; blocks hepatic carcinogenesis by aflatoxin.

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.
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
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.
