Also known as: King Kong
What is the Kong strain?
Kong is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 22.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and citrus and diesel flavor profile.
Kong is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain developed by South African breeder Holy Smoke Seeds through crossing Motavation and White Russian strains. This potent hybrid derives its genetics from a rich lineage that includes Afghani, AK-47, Skunk, and White Widow varieties. The strain takes its name from the famous King Kong character and delivers on the promise of massive effects and impressive yields. Kong features dense, chunky buds with a characteristic indica structure, displaying dark forest green leaves with rust-colored pistils. Under certain growing conditions, the flowers can develop deep blue and purple hues due to anthocyanins activated by cold weather. The buds are notably covered in a thick layer of fuzzy trichomes, making them difficult to break up without a quality grinder. Kong is particularly appreciated for its fast-acting effects and substantial resin production, making it popular among both recreational users seeking powerful relaxation and medical patients looking for therapeutic benefits.
