King of Rock
King of Rock is a modern hybrid cannabis strain produced by crossing Chemdog and Sour Larry Pebbles. The history surrounding the specific breeder or the exact date of its emergence remains undocumented, as is common with many contemporary hybrids that prioritize specific genetic traits over a recorded pedigree. Cultivators will find that this strain presents a moderate challenge to grow, requiring approximately 63 days of flowering time to reach maturity. It performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments and is capable of producing a high yield.
The chemical profile of King of Rock is confirmed to feature a diverse array of compounds, moving in dominance from caryophyllene and limonene to humulene, myrcene, linalool, bisabolol, beta-pinene, pinene, terpinolene, and nerolidol. This THC-dominant variety offers a complex aromatic experience dictated by these specific terpenes. Users often report that the scent is characterized by these dominant notes of zesty limonene and peppery caryophyllene, which support the strain's overall sensory profile.
In terms of effects, King of Rock is known to leave users feeling relaxed, happy, and uplifted. These characteristics make the hybrid a frequent tool for those seeking assistance with stress, pain, and sleep-related concerns. While the strain has established itself in the market for its functional utility and balanced profile, it has not yet produced any recorded offspring of note, nor has it solidified a legacy within broader cannabis breeding circles at this time.

●●○○
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: 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
