What is the King Pin strain?
King Pin is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 32.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and citrus and diesel flavor profile.
King Pin is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain that has gained popularity in both legacy and legal markets for its potent effects and distinctive aroma profile. The strain typically exhibits a 70% indica to 30% sativa ratio, though multiple genetic variations exist from different breeders. The most common lineage reported is a cross between Herijuana and Girl Scout Cookies, while another variation by Narcos Seeds combines OG Kush, Kush Chemdog, and Hindu Kush genetics. Some versions also include crosses with Biscotti, Gelato #33, Ice Cream Cake, and OZ Kush.
King Pin is characterized by its dense, resin-rich flowers that display a compact structure typical of indica-dominant hybrids. The buds are typically emerald-green with deep purple leaves and thick red-orange hairs, covered in a frosty coating of chunky, purple-tinted white crystal trichomes. The strain's aroma combines a diesel-pine base characteristic of OG heritage with sweeter notes reminiscent of modern dessert strains, creating a complex bouquet of gas, citrus, and earthy undertones. This hybrid has earned recognition for its high THC content, robust terpene profile, and balanced effects that begin with cerebral euphoria before transitioning into deep physical relaxation.
