Also known as: Kim K Kush
Kim K Strain Overview
Kim K is a modern hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the late 2010s, named after celebrity Kim Kardashian. The strain was developed by breeders seeking to create a visually striking and potent variety that would appeal to contemporary cannabis consumers. While its exact origin remains somewhat obscure within the cannabis community, it gained popularity through social media and dispensary marketing, particularly noted for its aesthetic appeal and balanced effects.
The strain typically produces dense, conical buds with a distinctive appearance. The flowers are often lime green with vibrant orange pistils and a generous coating of frosty trichomes that give them a glittering, diamond-like appearance. This visual characteristic has contributed significantly to its popularity in photography and social media sharing. The buds are usually medium to large in size and have a dense, resinous structure that breaks apart easily.
Kim K is recognized for providing a well-rounded experience that begins with cerebral stimulation before transitioning to physical relaxation. The strain's effects are generally considered manageable for most users, though novice consumers should exercise caution due to its potentially high THC content. Its balanced nature makes it suitable for various times of day, depending on individual tolerance and consumption amount.

Kim K Strain Growing Information
Kim K is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, better suited for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors and are ready for outdoor harvest in late September to early October. Indoor yields are average to above average, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter. Outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The plants tend to be medium in height, making them suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation. They prefer a Mediterranean-like climate when grown outdoors, with plenty of sunlight and moderate humidity. Indoor growers should maintain consistent temperatures and moderate humidity levels, particularly during flowering to prevent mold. The plants respond well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yield and light penetration. Regular pruning of lower foliage is recommended to improve air circulation and focus energy on top colas.
