Triangle Kush is a modern hybrid-indica strain bred from Hindu Kush. Reportedly originating in Florida during the 1990s, the strain is credited to the coastal region where it gained its reputation for consistent performance. Cultivators can expect a moderate difficulty level when growing in both indoor and outdoor environments, with the plant reaching a high yield after a 70-day flowering period.
The chemical profile of Triangle Kush is led by caryophyllene, followed by myrcene, limonene, humulene, linalool, bisabolol, beta-pinene, pinene, and terpinolene. This terpene arrangement produces a sensory experience defined by the interplay of these compounds. The presence of primary caryophyllene balanced by myrcene and limonene creates a nuanced aromatic profile, while humulene and the subsequent minor terpenes contribute to the depth of its flavor.
Triangle Kush is THC-dominant with 18.5% THC, 0.06% CBD, and 0.16% CBG, providing effects characterized by feelings of relaxation and focus. These properties make it a viable option for users seeking relief from pain, stress, or sleep-related issues. The strain has served as a foundational genetic component for numerous offspring, including LA Pop Rocks, RKD91, Triangle GMO, Ponderosa Cookies, Girl Scout Cookies X Triangle Kush, Juggernaut, Yetis Breath 2.0, Gorilla Glue 4 X Triangle Kush, East Coast Grateful Breath, Omnipresent, Han Solo Hashplant, and Topanga Sour Kush.

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.
Russo 2011: increases serotonin in prefrontal cortex + dopamine in hippocampus via 5-HT1A; Johns Hopkins 2024: significantly reduced anxiety vs THC alone.
