Queen Tiger
An undocumented strain name with no verifiable breeder or genetic record.
Growing, buying or possessing cannabis and seeds is legal only in some places. Check the law where you live before acting on this information.
Queen Tiger appears on some dispensary menus but has no documented breeder, seed source, or independent lab profile. Like thousands of modern strain names, it's a marketing label that may refer to genuinely distinct genetics in one shop and relabeled flower in another. A lab report (COA) tells you far more than the name itself.
What we could verify
Queen Tiger appears occasionally on dispensary menus and in small breeder catalogs but has essentially no presence in scientific literature, major strain databases, or verified seed bank records. We could not confirm a breeder of record, an original release date, or a stable genetic profile from independent sources No data.
This puts Queen Tiger in the same category as thousands of other modern hybrid names: a label that may refer to distinct genetics in one location and to relabeled flower in another. Without a verifiable seed source, breeder documentation, or a consistent history of lab testing, the name itself is not a reliable signal of what is in the jar.
Why strain names are not reliable
Genetic analyses have repeatedly shown that strains sold under the same name often differ substantially in genotype, and strains with different names are often genetically identical Strong evidence[1][2]. This mislabeling occurs across legal markets even when lab testing is available.
The reasons are straightforward: strain names are not trademarked or standardized; growers and breeders release genetics under the same name independently; and phenotype variation within a strain can be large. A jar labeled Queen Tiger from Breeder A may share little genetic material with Queen Tiger from Breeder B — or from a third dispensary that acquired bulk flower and repackaged it.
Marketing also plays a role. Exotic names and tiger-themed branding suggest potency and rarity but do not predict chemistry or effects No data.
Chemistry: cannabinoids and terpenes
We do not have access to certificates of analysis (COAs) for Queen Tiger, and no peer-reviewed chemotyping has been published on it No data.
Modern commercial hybrids in legal U.S. and Canadian markets typically test between roughly 15% and 25% THC, with CBD below 1% Strong evidence[3][4]. Terpene totals usually fall between 0.5% and 2.5% by weight Weak / limited[3].
Without strain-specific COAs, any Queen Tiger you encounter could sit anywhere in this range. Claims about dominant terpenes (myrcene, limonene, caryophyllene) circulate for almost every named strain, but cannabis chemotype varies more by grower, phenotype, and cure than by name Strong evidence[3]. The widely repeated claim that a specific terpene makes a strain 'sedating' or 'uplifting' is marketing folklore rather than established pharmacology Disputed.
Bottom line: check the Certificate of Analysis (COA) on the specific batch you are buying. The strain name will not tell you the chemistry.
Reported effects and the lack of strain-specific research
There is no clinical research on Queen Tiger, and there is no strain-specific clinical research on essentially any named cannabis cultivar No data. Effects marketed as 'relaxing,' 'uplifting,' or 'creative' are aggregated user self-reports from sites like Leafly or AllBud, not measured pharmacological outcomes.
What peer-reviewed evidence actually supports:
- THC dose, route, and individual tolerance predict subjective effects far better than strain name Strong evidence[5].
- The Indica/Sativa Myth does not reliably predict chemical composition or effects Strong evidence[1][2].
- Set, setting, and prior cannabis experience shape the experience substantially Strong evidence[5].
If a seller tells you Queen Tiger will reliably make you feel a specific way, they are describing their own experience or aggregated anecdotes, not a reproducible pharmacological property of the strain.
What to check if you see Queen Tiger for sale
If you encounter Queen Tiger at a dispensary or online:
- Ask for a current Certificate of Analysis (COA). This should show cannabinoid percentages (THC, CBD, THCA) and a terpene profile from a third-party lab. A batch-specific test date is non-negotiable. If none is available, the flower is not reliably documented.
- Ask the seller or breeder for lineage documentation. A seed receipt, breeder lineage chart, or genealogy posted on a company website counts as primary evidence. Vague marketing copy ('legendary genetics,' 'rare cross') does not.
- Check for consistency. If you buy Queen Tiger from two different sources, ask each seller for their COAs. If the cannabinoid and terpene profiles differ wildly, you are buying different genetics under the same name.
- Trust the report, not the label. A current lab report with cannabinoids and terpenes tells you more than any strain description, including this one.
If Queen Tiger is in front of you, smells good, tests clean, and the price is fair, a purchase is reasonable. Just do not expect the name to predict your experience.

Frequently asked questions
Is Queen Tiger indica or sativa?
We do not have verified lineage for Queen Tiger. The Indica/Sativa Myth article explains why this classification does not reliably predict effects or chemical composition anyway. Check the COA and your own response to the specific batch.
How much THC does Queen Tiger have?
No representative lab data exists. Modern hybrids typically range 15–25% THC, but Queen Tiger could fall outside that range. Only a current COA from the batch you are buying tells you the actual THC percentage.
How long does Queen Tiger take to flower?
We have no documented flowering time for this strain. If you obtain clones or seeds from a specific grower, ask for their cultivation logs (veg time, flower time, dry weight per plant) — that is far more useful than a generic estimate.
Who bred Queen Tiger?
No breeder of record has been verified. If you have documentation (seed receipt, breeder lineage chart, company website with verifiable history), please flag an error and share it.
Have information on this strain?
If you are a breeder, seed bank, or have independent lab data for Queen Tiger, Weedpedia welcomes documentation. Breeder records, certificates of analysis, cultivation logs, or company pages with verifiable history will meaningfully improve this entry. Please provide:
- Your name or company name
- The original cross (parent strains)
- Year of first release
- A link to breeder records or seed bank listing
- Lab reports (COA) from independent testing
We would rather be short and honest than long and wrong. Corrections and additions that are sourced and verifiable will be incorporated.
