3 Kings
3 Kings
Also known as: Three Kings, 3 Kings OG
Overview
The 3 Kings strain gets its name not from the biblical three wise men or the 1999 movie, but from its legendary parentage: a combination of Headband, Sour Diesel, and OG Kush, each among the most popular marijuana strains in the world. This sativa-dominant hybrid was created in California by expert breeders as a genetic masterpiece that quickly earned its place in the cannabis community. The strain has a sativa/indica ratio of approximately 70% sativa and 30% indica, with THC levels ranging from 14% to 22% and CBD levels typically below 1%.
3 Kings features striking sage green buds with purple accents and golden pistils, blanketed in a frosty coat of trichomes that signals its potent nature. The aroma is complex, combining earthy hash, pine, diesel, and citrus notes with subtle earthy undertones. Users report that the effects are both intense and uplifting, providing cerebral stimulation, focused energy, and happiness without heavy sedation, making it ideal for daytime use. This balanced hybrid is popular among both medical patients seeking relief from chronic pain, depression, and anxiety, and recreational users looking for an energizing, well-rounded experience.

Growing Information
The flowering time for 3 Kings is 8-10 weeks indoors, making it a moderately quick strain that's appreciated by growers for its vigorous growth and generous yields. Plants remain compact at around 3.3 ft (1 meter) in height, with indoor yields averaging 450-500 g/m² and outdoor plants producing up to 800 grams each under optimal conditions. The strain can fit in medium-sized grow tents (4x4 or 5x5 feet) with training techniques and doesn't have strict temperature and humidity requirements due to its sparse foliage. 3 Kings is adaptable to both indoor and outdoor environments, though it's compact, robust, and moderately easy to grow, making it suitable for beginners while still requiring proper pest prevention. Outdoor harvest typically occurs in mid to late October.
