Yeti
Yeti is a modern autoflowering strain developed from the genetics of California Dreams. It is a straightforward variety to cultivate, reaching maturity within a 63-day flowering period and thriving in both indoor and outdoor environments, though growers should anticipate a low total yield. This cross has proven to be a foundation for further breeding, as evidenced by its notable offspring, Yeti x G-13.
The sensory profile of Yeti is defined by a complex chemical composition, led by a dominant presence of caryophyllene followed by myrcene and limonene. The secondary and tertiary notes include pinene, humulene, linalool, ocimene, nerolidol, terpinolene, beta-pinene, guaiol, bisabolol, p-cymene, camphene, and caryophyllene-oxide. This diverse terpene arrangement creates a nuanced aromatic experience that reflects the depth of its genetic makeup.
As a THC-dominant cultivar, Yeti is primarily sought after for its ability to induce feelings of relaxation, happiness, and an uplifted mood. These effects make it a consistent choice for individuals seeking support with stress, pain, and sleep-related concerns. Beyond its immediate therapeutic utility, the strain maintains a clear genetic footprint within the industry through its role in the development of future hybrids.
Terpene 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: 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
Autoflower
Photoperiod-independent. Flowers based on age, not light cycle. Compact and fast.
THC-Dominant

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Yeti indica or sativa?
Yeti is modeled here as a autoflower (photoperiod-independent).
What terpene is dominant in Yeti?
Caryophyllene is shown as the dominant terpene at approximately ~60%. Myrcene follows as the secondary terpene.
Is Yeti good for daytime use?
Yeti is versatile and works across different times of day depending on dose and individual response.
