Everest Queen
Everest Queen is a modern hybrid strain derived from the cross of Shiva and an unknown parent. As a result of this pairing, the lineage of this cultivar remains partially undocumented. It is cultivated in both indoor and outdoor environments, where it reaches maturity with a 60-day flowering period. Growers generally classify the strain at a moderate level of difficulty, yet it is recognized for the ability to produce a high yield. Its capacity to perform in diverse settings has contributed to its circulation among cultivators, and it serves as the parent of the notable offspring known as Bangaru.
The aromatic and flavor profile of Everest Queen is defined by a complex, layered terpene structure. Caryophyllene serves as the dominant terpene, followed by myrcene and limonene, which provide the foundational sensory experience. The profile continues with pinene, humulene, and ocimene, moving into the subtle notes of nerolidol, linalool, and beta-pinene. Further nuance is added by the inclusion of guaiol, p-cymene, and bisabolol, while the profile is rounded out by trace amounts of eucalyptol, camphene, and caryophyllene-oxide. This diverse chemical composition results from a balanced expression of these fifteen distinct terpenes, creating a nuanced sensory experience that reflects its hybrid classification.
As a THC-dominant variety, Everest Queen is primarily known for producing effects described as relaxed, happy, and uplifted. These characteristics make it a functional choice for users seeking support for stress, pain, and sleep management. The strain’s influence on the current genetic landscape is anchored by its established legacy, most notably through its contribution to the development of Bangaru. By maintaining a consistent profile across its growth cycle, Everest Queen provides a reliable option for those prioritizing specific therapeutic outcomes within a modern hybrid framework.

●●○○
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
