Flying Dragon is a modern hybrid cannabis strain resulting from the crossing of Hindu Kush and The Pure. Information regarding the specific history of the strain’s development remains undocumented, as there is no official record of its breeder or the timeline of its creation. Because its precise genetic origins beyond its parentage are not established, the historical path that led to the development of this hybrid remains a matter of ongoing cataloging.
The terpene profile of Flying Dragon is complex and dense, led by myrcene as the primary constituent, followed by terpinolene, caryophyllene, pinene, limonene, beta-pinene, ocimene, humulene, linalool, nerolidol, guaiol, bisabolol, alpha-terpinene, and gamma-terpinene. This chemical composition suggests a multifaceted sensory profile, pulling aromatic depth from the grounding nature of myrcene and the sharper, pungent notes of terpinolene and caryophyllene. These compounds define the strain's olfactory and gustatory identity, which is supported by its THC-dominant cannabinoid profile.
Users typically report that Flying Dragon induces feelings of being relaxed, happy, and uplifted. Given these established effects, the strain is often utilized to address concerns related to stress, pain, and sleep. The plant is rated as being of moderate difficulty to grow and can be cultivated in both indoor and outdoor environments. With a flowering time of 68 days, the strain is known to produce a high yield. There are currently no recorded offspring for this variety.
