Night Moves
Night Moves is a modern hybrid cannabis strain derived from its parent, Scotty 2 Hotty. Developed for high-output production, it offers a moderate difficulty level for cultivators and is well-suited for both indoor and outdoor environments. The plant reaches maturity following a 63-day flowering period, consistently providing high yields for those who manage its growth cycle effectively.
The chemical complexity of Night Moves is defined by a specific sequence of terpenes, led by caryophyllene and followed by limonene, humulene, linalool, myrcene, beta-pinene, and pinene. This terpene profile dictates the aromatic and sensory experience of the strain, grounding the user in a sophisticated blend of spicy, citrus, and herbal notes. The interplay of these compounds contributes to the distinct organoleptic properties inherent to this hybrid’s genetic makeup.
As a THC-dominant cultivar, Night Moves typically induces effects characterized by a sense of relaxation, happiness, and an uplifted mood. These properties make the strain a functional choice for individuals seeking relief from stress and pain, or support for achieving sleep. The legacy of this variety continues through its notable offspring, Seger Fever, which carries forward the genetic characteristics established by the original Night Moves profile.

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
