Peking Duck is a modern hybrid whose precise origins remain undocumented, leaving its full genetic history and development path as a subject of mystery. While it is linked to Plum Wine as a parent, breeders have not publicly confirmed a complete lineage or the specific circumstances of its creation. Consequently, growers and collectors should view its development as an open question, as little verifiable information exists regarding its heritage beyond these limited reports.
The aromatic profile of Peking Duck is defined by a distinct hierarchy of compounds, led by limonene, myrcene, and linalool, followed by caryophyllene, beta-pinene, pinene, humulene, and terpinolene. Because of its standing as a modern hybrid, the strain features an estimated THC content of 20.5% and a negligible CBD concentration of approximately 0.05%. These compounds work in tandem to produce its characteristic sensory experience, though individual aromatic nuances remain subject to variation based on cultivation practices.
The effects of Peking Duck are consistently reported as relaxed, happy, and uplifted, making it a functional choice for those seeking relief from stress, pain, or difficulty sleeping. The plant is moderately difficult to cultivate and performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments, offering a high yield after a 63-day flowering period. Despite its presence in the modern market, there are currently no recorded offspring of particular note associated with this strain.

Research notes below describe isolated terpene mechanisms and early findings. They do not guarantee effects from this strain and are not medical advice.
Russo 2011: increases serotonin in prefrontal cortex + dopamine in hippocampus via 5-HT1A; Johns Hopkins 2024: significantly reduced anxiety vs THC alone.
Russo 2011: naloxone-sensitive analgesia, potentiates barbiturate sleep; dominant sedating terpenoid; blocks hepatic carcinogenesis by aflatoxin.
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.
