K-Pop
Also known as: K-Pop Kush
K-Pop Strain Overview
K-Pop is a relatively modern hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the early 2020s, drawing its name from the global popularity of Korean pop music culture. The strain was developed by breeders seeking to create a visually striking cultivar with balanced effects that would appeal to both recreational and medicinal users. While its exact origin story varies among different seed banks and breeders, K-Pop has gained recognition primarily through the West Coast cannabis scene before spreading to other markets.
The strain is characterized by its dense, resinous buds that display a vibrant color palette ranging from deep forest green to purple hues, often accented by bright orange pistils. The flowers are typically medium to large in size with a conical structure and heavy trichome coverage that gives them a frosty appearance. K-Pop's aroma profile is complex, combining sweet, fruity notes with earthy undertones and a hint of diesel, which becomes more pronounced when the buds are broken apart.
Notable features of K-Pop include its relatively fast flowering time compared to other hybrids and its adaptability to various growing environments. The strain has gained popularity among cultivators for its resilience and consistent performance, while consumers appreciate its balanced effects that provide both cerebral stimulation and physical relaxation without overwhelming sedation. As a newer strain, K-Pop continues to evolve through different phenotypes and breeding projects across the cannabis community.

K-Pop Strain Growing Information
K-Pop is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The strain has a flowering time of 8-9 weeks indoors and is ready for harvest by early to mid-October outdoors. Indoor yields typically range from 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. K-Pop performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments but thrives in controlled indoor setups where temperature and humidity can be regulated. Plants tend to be medium in height (3-4 feet indoors, 4-6 feet outdoors) with a bushy structure that benefits from pruning and training techniques like topping or SCROG. The strain is moderately resistant to common pests and molds but requires good air circulation, particularly during the flowering stage when dense buds can be susceptible to bud rot in humid conditions.
