Squirt is a modern hybrid cannabis strain derived from the well-known Apple Fritter. As a versatile cultivar, it has been successfully cultivated by growers in both indoor and outdoor environments. Those seeking to include this strain in their garden should plan for a flowering period of approximately 60 days, as it is classified as a moderate-difficulty grow capable of producing a high yield.
The chemical profile of Squirt is defined by a complex terpene hierarchy, led by dominant caryophyllene, limonene, and humulene. This foundation is rounded out by a long list of trace compounds including isopulegol, linalool, pinene, beta-pinene, bisabolol, myrcene, ocimene, caryophyllene-oxide, camphene, nerolidol, guaiol, borneol, gamma-terpinene, eucalyptol, p-cymene, terpinolene, geraniol, alpha-terpinene, and sabinene. This multifaceted composition influences the strain's overall sensory experience and aromatic nuance.
As a THC-dominant hybrid, Squirt is reported to induce effects characterized as relaxed, happy, and uplifted. These properties make the strain a common selection for addressing concerns related to stress, pain, and sleep. The influence of its genetics persists in the industry through several notable offspring, including Apple Bottom Squirt, Banana Melt, Freaks Squirt Fast, Hershey Squirts, Leisure Suit Larry, and Morning Wood.

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: increases serotonin in prefrontal cortex + dopamine in hippocampus via 5-HT1A; Johns Hopkins 2024: significantly reduced anxiety vs THC alone.
Russo 2011: naloxone-sensitive analgesia, potentiates barbiturate sleep; dominant sedating terpenoid; blocks hepatic carcinogenesis by aflatoxin.
Russo 2011: local anesthetic equal to procaine; anticonvulsant via glutamate/GABA modulation; reduces morphine tolerance via multisite opioid/GABAergic/cannabinoid action.
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.
