Also known as: K.O. The Hague Kush, K.O. The Hague OG
What is the K.O. The Hague strain?
K.O. The Hague is a indica cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and citrus and earthy flavor profile.
K.O. The Hague is a potent indica-dominant hybrid strain developed in the Netherlands, specifically bred for its powerful sedative effects and distinctive flavor profile. The strain's name references both its knockout potency ("K.O.") and its Dutch origins ("The Hague" being the seat of government in the Netherlands). While exact breeding records are not widely documented, it is believed to have been developed by Dutch breeders in the early 2000s as part of a wave of high-THC indica varieties popular in European coffee shops.
The strain produces dense, resinous buds with a classic indica structure—compact and chunky with dark green leaves often tinged with purple hues, particularly when exposed to cooler temperatures during cultivation. The buds are typically covered in a thick layer of trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance, and feature vibrant orange pistils that contrast against the darker foliage. K.O. The Hague is known for its pungent aroma that combines earthy, skunky notes with subtle hints of citrus and spice.
Notable features include its exceptionally high THC content, which can reach up to 24% in well-grown specimens, and its reputation for delivering powerful physical relaxation. The strain has gained particular popularity among medical cannabis users seeking relief from severe symptoms, though it remains relatively rare outside of the Netherlands and select European markets. Its genetic stability and consistent effects have made it a favorite among experienced consumers who appreciate its predictable, heavy-hitting nature.

How do you grow K.O. The Hague?
K.O. The Hague is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, best suited for growers with some experience. The plants have a typical indica growth pattern—short and bushy with dense foliage that requires regular pruning to prevent mold and improve airflow. Flowering time is approximately 8-9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests typically ready in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates.
Indoor yields are moderate to high, producing around 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant in suitable climates. The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment but can be grown outdoors in Mediterranean or similar climates with consistent temperatures. Plants typically reach 90-120 cm indoors and 150-180 cm outdoors.
Special considerations include maintaining low humidity during flowering (below 45% ideally) to prevent bud rot due to the dense bud structure. The plants respond well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yields. Nutrient requirements are moderate, but the strain benefits from additional phosphorus during flowering to support bud development. Some phenotypes may show purple coloration when exposed to nighttime temperature drops of 10-15°F during the final weeks of flowering.
