Lion of Judah
Lion of Judah is a modern autoflowering variety developed through the crossing of White Widow and Lowryder. The history of this strain remains undocumented, with no specific breeder or origin details officially recorded. As a modern cultivar, it is designed for ease of cultivation, thriving in both indoor and outdoor environments. Growers can expect a 50-day flowering period, though the harvest yield is characteristically low.
The complex aromatic profile of Lion of Judah is anchored by a confirmed hierarchy of sixteen terpenes. Caryophyllene serves as the dominant compound, followed by myrcene, nerolidol, limonene, and humulene. The profile continues with beta-pinene, linalool, pinene, isopulegol, and bisabolol, trailing into caryophyllene-oxide, camphene, eucalyptol, terpinolene, ocimene, and finally guaiol. This intricate chemical structure defines the sensory experience, grounding the strain in a wide spectrum of spicy, herbal, and floral notes.
This THC-dominant cultivar is reported to produce effects that are relaxed, happy, and uplifted. Users often turn to it as a potential aid for managing stress, alleviating pain, or improving sleep quality. While it occupies a distinct place in modern genetics for its rapid growth cycle and specific cannabinoid expression, there are currently no recorded notable offspring linked to this strain.

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.

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
