Six Shooter
Six Shooter is a modern, auto-flowering cannabis cultivar derived from the genetics of Mexican Airlines. As an auto-flowering variety, it is engineered for efficiency, requiring only 63 days to complete its flowering cycle. The plant is noted for its ease of cultivation, making it accessible for both indoor and outdoor environments, although growers should anticipate a low yield from this specific genetic expression. Its legacy within the breeding community is marked by the development of its notable offspring, Mass Shooter Auto.
The chemical profile of Six Shooter is defined by a complex arrangement of terpenes, led by the spicy, peppery notes of caryophyllene. This dominant influence is supported by a secondary foundation of myrcene and limonene, followed by tertiary contributions of pinene and humulene. The aromatic complexity continues through a long tail of minor terpenes, including linalool, ocimene, nerolidol, terpinolene, beta-pinene, guaiol, bisabolol, p-cymene, camphene, and caryophyllene-oxide, which collectively shape the sensory experience of the flower.
As a THC-dominant cultivar, Six Shooter provides a set of effects characterized by feelings of relaxation, happiness, and an uplifted mood. These therapeutic properties make it a targeted choice for individuals managing stress, physical pain, or difficulties with sleep. By balancing its specific cannabinoid levels with a diverse terpene profile, this strain offers a consistent experience for users seeking reliable relief and mood elevation.

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: naloxone-sensitive analgesia, potentiates barbiturate sleep; dominant sedating terpenoid; blocks hepatic carcinogenesis by aflatoxin.
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.
