King's Tart
King's Tart is a modern hybrid strain derived from the genetics of Bubba Slush. This cultivar has been developed for cultivators seeking a productive plant, offering high yields within a moderate difficulty range. It is suitable for both indoor and outdoor growing environments and requires a flowering period of 63 days to reach maturity. Its genetic footprint is notable for the creation of offspring such as Tarte Tatin.
The chemical profile of King's Tart is complex, featuring a long list of terpenes that begins with the dominant caryophyllene, followed by limonene, linalool, humulene, and myrcene. The secondary and tertiary layers of the profile consist of beta-pinene, pinene, ocimene, nerolidol, camphene, geraniol, isopulegol, bisabolol, alpha-terpinene, terpinolene, and terpinene. This diverse range of compounds works in concert to define the strain's sensory experience.
As a THC-dominant hybrid, King's Tart focuses on providing effects that are relaxed, happy, and uplifted. These characteristics make it a functional candidate for users addressing concerns related to stress, pain, or difficulty with sleep. Because it balances a variety of subjective outcomes with a manageable growth cycle, it remains an established part of modern genetic selection.
Terpene Profile
Synergies (+) and conflicts (−) are relative to each other within this profile.
| Terpene | Share | Character | Likely role |
|---|---|---|---|
| caryophyllene | ~60% | spicy | relaxing · social |
| limonene | ~28% | citrus | social · creative |
| linalool | ~12% | floral | relaxing · solo |

●●○○
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.
Russo 2011: local anesthetic equal to procaine; anticonvulsant via glutamate/GABA modulation; reduces morphine tolerance via multisite opioid/GABAergic/cannabinoid action.
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
Equal indica and sativa genetics. Balanced body and mind effects.
THC-Dominant
High THC, trace CBD. Psychoactive. Full CB1 agonism — euphoria, appetite, analgesia.
