Queen of the South
Queen of the South is a modern hybrid cannabis strain derived from the parent cultivar #1 Stunna. This variety is characterized by a moderate cultivation difficulty and achieves a high yield, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor growing environments. Growers can anticipate a flowering cycle of 63 days before the plant reaches full maturity.
The chemical profile of this strain is defined by a complex terpene hierarchy led by caryophyllene, followed by humulene, limonene, and myrcene. These are complemented by beta-pinene, terpinolene, linalool, pinene, and caryophyllene-oxide. This specific array of terpenes creates a distinct aromatic and flavor experience that reflects its intricate genetic composition. As a THC-dominant cultivar, the profile remains chemically focused on its primary caryophyllene content to deliver its signature sensory characteristics.
In terms of effects, Queen of the South is widely used by consumers to achieve states of relaxation, happiness, and an uplifted mood. Its therapeutic profile makes it an appropriate choice for those seeking to address stress, pain, or difficulties with sleep. The genetic legacy of this hybrid is solidified through its notable offspring, Triangle Queen, which carries forward the established traits of the lineage.

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.
PMC11060501: opioid-independent antinociception; appetite suppression (anorectic); NF-κB dual-pathway synergy with caryophyllene.
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.
