Venus Flytrap
Venus Flytrap is a modern hybrid-sativa cultivar bred from the crossing of Jock Horror and Skunk No. 1. Developed to produce a high-yielding plant, it reaches maturity after a 70-day flowering cycle. As a plant of moderate cultivation difficulty, it is adaptable for both indoor and outdoor growing environments. Its prominence in the breeding landscape is reflected in its role as a parent for notable offspring, including Mango Skunk.
The chemical profile of Venus Flytrap is marked by a complex, diverse array of terpenes, led by terpinolene, myrcene, and ocimene, followed by caryophyllene, beta-pinene, and limonene. Rounding out this expansive terpene profile are pinene, alpha-terpinene, gamma-terpinene, humulene, eucalyptol, and nerolidol. This specific dominance of terpinolene, supported by secondary myrcene and ocimene, defines the strain’s sensory signature, contributing a layered, nuanced aroma and flavor.
As a THC-dominant variety, Venus Flytrap delivers effects that are primarily creative, uplifted, and euphoric. These characteristics make the cultivar suitable for social engagements, tasks requiring focus, and sessions intended to stimulate creativity. By balancing its specific genetic lineage with a high-yielding output, the strain functions as a practical choice for consumers seeking heightened mood and cognitive engagement in a social or utilitarian context.

PMC11060501: antinociception via NO/PGE2/TNF-α inhibition; associated with cerebral sativa profiles; least clinically characterised of major terpenes.
Russo 2011: naloxone-sensitive analgesia, potentiates barbiturate sleep; dominant sedating terpenoid; blocks hepatic carcinogenesis by aflatoxin.
Antifungal, antiviral, decongestant; activates CB1/CB2 at 10–60% THC efficacy per Israeli receptor study (NORML 2025); highly volatile (bp 50–66°C); limited clinical data.
Effects
Reported effects — derived from terpene chemistry and cannabinoid profile.
creative
morningAssociated with terpinolene/limonene profiles; dopaminergic and serotonergic modulation via limonene 5-HT1A supports divergent thinking.
uplifted
morningLimonene anxiolytic/antidepressant via serotonin elevation in prefrontal cortex (Russo 2011); mood improvement without full euphoria; key for balanced-1-1 profiles.
