Caramel King
Also known as: Caramel King Kush
Caramel King Strain Overview
Caramel King is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain developed through selective breeding to emphasize its distinctive sweet flavor profile and relaxing effects. The strain's exact origins are somewhat obscure in cannabis literature, but it appears to have emerged in the late 2000s or early 2010s as part of a wave of dessert-themed varieties. Breeders focused on combining genetics that would produce both a memorable taste experience and potent physical effects, resulting in a strain that has gained a following among users seeking relaxation and flavor complexity.
The plant typically produces dense, resinous buds with a structure characteristic of indica varieties. The flowers display a range of green hues, often with subtle purple undertones that become more pronounced in cooler growing conditions. A thick coating of trichomes gives the buds a frosty appearance, while orange pistils provide visual contrast. The most notable feature is the aroma, which combines sweet, caramel-like notes with earthier undertones, creating a complex olfactory profile that matches its name.
Caramel King is recognized for its balanced effects that begin with cerebral stimulation before transitioning to full-body relaxation. The strain's popularity stems from this combination of initial mental uplift followed by physical calmness, making it suitable for evening use. While not among the most widely documented strains, it has maintained a consistent presence in certain cannabis markets and among home growers who appreciate its flavor characteristics and reliable effects.

Caramel King Strain Growing Information
Caramel King is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are moderate to high, averaging 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor growing, though it prefers a controlled indoor environment where temperature and humidity can be managed. Plants tend to remain relatively compact, reaching heights of 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining good air circulation to prevent mold in the dense buds and providing support during late flowering as the resinous flowers can become heavy. The strain responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yield.
