Carpenter Kush
Carpenter Kush is a modern hybrid cannabis strain resulting from a cross between Sky Lotus and Chemdog. While its specific breeder and developmental history remain undocumented, its genetic lineage is clearly defined by these two established parent strains. The variety is geared toward cultivators of moderate experience, requiring a 75-day flowering period to reach its full potential, and it is capable of producing a high yield in both indoor and outdoor growing environments.
The terpene profile transitions from the primary influence of caryophyllene through myrcene, limonene, linalool, humulene, pinene, bisabolol, beta-pinene, nerolidol, terpinolene, caryophyllene-oxide, camphene, ocimene, and finally eucalyptol. Users can expect a sensory experience defined by this complex chemical composition, which anchors the strain's aromatic and flavor nuances.
As a THC-dominant variety, Carpenter Kush is characterized by its ability to leave consumers feeling relaxed, happy, and uplifted. These effects make the strain a suitable choice for addressing symptoms related to stress, pain, and sleep difficulties. There are currently no recorded offspring for this strain, marking it as a unique entry in contemporary hybridization.
Terpene Profile
Synergies (+) and conflicts (−) are relative to each other within this profile.
| Terpene | Share | Character | Likely role |
|---|---|---|---|
| caryophyllene | ~60% | spicy | relaxing · social |
| myrcene | ~28% | earthy | relaxing · solo |
| limonene | ~12% | citrus | social · creative |

●●○○
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
