Squid Game
Squid Game is a modern hybrid strain derived from its parent, Grand Theft Auto. Developed as a high-yielding controlled cultivar, the strain maintains a moderate difficulty level for cultivators. It completes its flowering cycle in exactly 63 days and demonstrates structural versatility suitable for both indoor and outdoor growing environments. As a significant entry in modern genetic breeding, it has already contributed to the lineage of notable offspring such as Squid Billiez.
The chemical profile of Squid Game is defined by a complex terpene hierarchy led by caryophyllene, myrcene, and limonene, followed by humulene, linalool, pinene, beta-pinene, bisabolol, isopulegol, nerolidol, ocimene, and caryophyllene-oxide. This specific composition suggests a nuanced sensory experience prioritized by the primary influence of caryophyllene and myrcene. The chemical makeup relies exclusively on this sequence to dictate the interaction between scent and flavor, ensuring the dominant profiles remain consistent throughout the maturation process.
As a THC-dominant cultivar, Squid Game is primarily utilized by consumers seeking relief from stress, pain, and sleep difficulties. Users typically report a consistent sequence of effects, transitioning from an uplifted mental state into a deep sense of happiness and physical relaxation. Its reputation as a high-yielding and effective hybrid has secured its position in modern gardening, as evidenced by its legacy in the subsequent development of Squid Billiez.

●●○○
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.
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
Balanced Hybrid
Equal indica and sativa genetics. Balanced body and mind effects.
THC-Dominant
High THC, trace CBD. Psychoactive. Full CB1 agonism — euphoria, appetite, analgesia.
