Kolossus
Also known as: Colossus
Kolossus Strain Overview
Kolossus is a hybrid cannabis strain developed by the breeder Heavyweight Seeds, known for its substantial yields and potent effects. The strain was created by crossing the indica-dominant Big Bud with the sativa-dominant Skunk #1, resulting in a balanced hybrid that combines the best traits of both parent strains. Its name reflects the plant's impressive size and robust growth characteristics, making it a favorite among cultivators seeking high-output production.
Visually, Kolossus plants are characterized by their large, dense buds covered in a thick layer of trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance. The buds typically display shades of deep green with occasional purple hues, complemented by vibrant orange pistils. The strain's aroma is complex, blending earthy and skunky notes with subtle sweet undertones, while the flavor profile often includes hints of pine and citrus upon consumption.
Kolossus is noted for its relatively short flowering time and resilience, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation. The strain's effects are reported to be well-balanced, providing an initial cerebral uplift followed by a relaxing body sensation. Due to its potency and reliable growth patterns, Kolossus has maintained popularity in both commercial and home-growing circles since its introduction in the early 2000s.

Kolossus Strain Growing Information
Kolossus is considered a moderately easy strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants have a flowering time of approximately 8-9 weeks indoors and are ready for harvest by late September to early October outdoors. Indoor yields typically range from 500-600 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 600-800 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The strain thrives in both indoor and outdoor environments, with indoor plants reaching heights of 100-150 cm and outdoor plants growing up to 200-250 cm. Kolossus prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with plenty of sunlight when grown outdoors. Special considerations include providing adequate support for the heavy buds during late flowering and maintaining good airflow to prevent mold due to the dense bud structure. The plants respond well to training techniques like topping and LST (low-stress training) to maximize yields.
