King

King is a indica cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and earthy and grape flavor profile.

King is a potent indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain that has gained popularity for its powerful sedative effects and distinctive flavor profile. The strain's exact origins are somewhat debated within the cannabis community, but most sources trace it to a cross between OG Kush and Grape Ape, two renowned indica varieties. This lineage combines the cerebral euphoria and complex terpene profile of OG Kush with the deeply relaxing, full-body effects and fruity notes of Grape Ape. King first emerged in the early 2000s and has since become a staple in many medical and recreational cannabis markets, particularly valued by users seeking relief from pain, stress, and insomnia.

The strain typically produces dense, resinous buds that exhibit a classic indica structure—compact and chunky with a high calyx-to-leaf ratio. The flowers are often a deep forest green with occasional purple hues that become more pronounced under cooler nighttime temperatures during cultivation. A thick coating of milky-white trichomes covers the buds, giving them a frosty appearance and indicating high cannabinoid content. Orange to rust-colored pistils weave through the dense foliage, adding visual contrast. The buds are notably sticky to the touch due to their high resin production.

King is known for its complex aroma that combines earthy, piney notes inherited from its OG Kush parent with sweet, grape-like undertakes from Grape Ape. When properly cured, the strain releases a pungent scent that can be detected from a distance. The flavor profile mirrors the aroma, with initial earthy and pine notes on inhalation followed by a sweet, fruity aftertaste. The smoke is typically smooth for a high-THC strain, though some users report it can be harsh on the throat if not properly cured. The strain's effects are predominantly physical, with a strong body relaxation that can lead to couch-lock, making it more suitable for evening or nighttime use.
