Shekinah
Shekinah is a modern automatic variety derived from its parent, Cosmic Queen F4 S1. This strain is cultivated with an easy difficulty rating that accommodates both indoor and outdoor environments, maturing over an 80-day flowering cycle. Despite its straightforward cultivation, the strain provides a low yield, prioritizing specific genetic traits inherited through its lineage.
The aromatic profile of Shekinah is defined by a complex chemical composition, led by a dominant concentration of myrcene. This primary terpene is followed in intensity by caryophyllene and limonene, with secondary notes contributed by pinene and terpinolene. The spectrum continues with linalool, beta-pinene, humulene, nerolidol, and ocimene, rounding out with trace amounts of bisabolol, guaiol, camphene, caryophyllene-oxide, and p-cymene. This diverse chemical arrangement characterizes the strain’s distinct sensory experience.
As a THC-dominant cultivar, Shekinah consistently induces effects described as relaxed, happy, and uplifted. These properties make it a frequent selection for consumers seeking relief from stress and pain, or support for sleep. The genetic legacy of this variety is evidenced by its notable offspring, which include Shrek Brain, Shrek Candy, and Shrek Daddy.

Russo 2011: naloxone-sensitive analgesia, potentiates barbiturate sleep; dominant sedating terpenoid; blocks hepatic carcinogenesis by aflatoxin.

●●○○
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
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
Autoflower
Photoperiod-independent. Flowers based on age, not light cycle. Compact and fast.
THC-Dominant
High THC, trace CBD. Psychoactive. Full CB1 agonism — euphoria, appetite, analgesia.
