Space Monster effects are mostly calming.
Space Monster is a modern hybrid-indica cultivar derived from the parent strain Purple People Eater. As a purposefully bred variety in the contemporary market, it has served as the genetic foundation for the offspring known as B.B. King. Cultivators can expect a flowering period of 60 days, and the strain is considered to be of moderate difficulty to grow. It is well-suited for both indoor and outdoor environments, consistently rewarding the grower with a high yield.
The chemical profile of Space Monster is characterized by a complex terpene hierarchy, led by dominant myrcene, followed by limonene, pinene, and linalool. The secondary and tertiary contributors to its aromatic and flavor profile include caryophyllene, ocimene, beta-pinene, and humulene, rounded out by traces of terpinolene, nerolidol, guaiol, and bisabolol. This specific assembly of compounds provides a distinct sensory experience that anchors the strain’s identity within the broader spectrum of modern hybrid-indica genetics.
This THC-dominant strain is recognized for its ability to induce effects of relaxation, calm, and focus in the user. Due to these qualities, it is frequently utilized for the management of pain and stress, as well as an aid for those seeking assistance with sleep. Through its genetic influence on descendants like B.B. King, Space Monster maintains a verified presence in current cultivation circles as a versatile component in modern breeding programs.

Russo 2011: naloxone-sensitive analgesia, potentiates barbiturate sleep; dominant sedating terpenoid; blocks hepatic carcinogenesis by aflatoxin.
Russo 2011: increases serotonin in prefrontal cortex + dopamine in hippocampus via 5-HT1A; Johns Hopkins 2024: significantly reduced anxiety vs THC alone.
Russo 2011: acetylcholinesterase inhibitor (IC50 0.44 mM) counteracting THC-induced short-term memory deficits; most widely encountered terpenoid in nature; anti-inflammatory via PGE-1.
