4 Kings
Also known as: Four Kings
Overview
4 Kings is an indica-dominant hybrid strain created by Exotic Genetix through crossing Los Angeles OG Kush with their proprietary Triple OG strain. The strain exhibits an 80% indica to 20% sativa genetic ratio, making it ideal for relaxation and pain-relieving effects. 4 Kings embodies a straightforward value proposition: a familiar, archetypal flavor-and-effect package refined for modern potency and resin density, offering gas-forward, citrus-laced, terp-loud characteristics strong enough for evening relief without guaranteed sedation at moderate doses. The strain emerged from an era of intensive breeding and selective processes designed to highlight potent indica characteristics, meticulously developed by expert breeders who sought to capture the essence of kingly quality in every bud. Buds are dense, calyx-stacked, and frequently show a heavy blanket of capitate-stalked trichomes that give a shimmering, frosted look. While reviews of 4 Kings are largely positive in all respects, Exotic Genetix has discontinued producing seeds for cultivation, making acquisition somewhat difficult, though the strain still appears at some US dispensaries.

Growing Information
4 Kings is an easy-to-grow strain with a flowering time of 55 to 67 days, with buds ready to harvest by day 74 if grown in correct conditions. The strain can be cultivated indoors, outdoors and in greenhouse environments with a flowering time of approximately 63 days and yields described as medium to heavy. Well-run indoor rooms commonly achieve 450–600 g/m², with dialed, high-density SCROGs and CO2 pushing higher, though it rarely matches the ceiling numbers of some elite Kush lines that can reach 700–800 g/m² under optimized conditions. It is best grown in a consistent indoor environment as outdoor garden mold often takes over the plants due to their size, requiring branch support as 4 Kings is a fat plant that is quite pungent and loves humid environments, typically growing 35 to 60 inches (90 to 160 cm) with large, dense, resin-coated buds. Training methods like topping, low-stress training, and SCROG help spread the canopy, with optimal environmental conditions of 78–82°F days and 68–72°F nights in early flower, VPD around 1.2–1.4 kPa, and relative humidity starting near 55% at flip and tapering to 45–50% by week 8.
