Krampus
What is the Krampus strain?
Krampus is a indica cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and citrus and earthy flavor profile.
Krampus is a potent indica-dominant cannabis strain named after the mythical Central European folkloric figure associated with Christmas. The strain was developed by crossing two classic indica varieties, though its exact genetic lineage is often debated among cultivators. Breeders aimed to create a strain with strong sedative properties and distinctive flavor profile, resulting in a cultivar that has gained popularity among users seeking deep relaxation and relief from various symptoms.
Visually, Krampus typically produces dense, resinous buds with dark green coloration often accented by deep purple hues and vibrant orange pistils. The flowers are usually compact and heavily frosted with trichomes, giving them a glistening appearance. The strain's name reflects its potentially overwhelming effects, particularly for inexperienced users, as it can deliver intense physical sedation that some describe as being 'punished' by the mythical creature it's named after.
Krampus is known for its complex aroma profile that combines earthy, pine, and sweet notes with subtle hints of spice and citrus. The flavor often mirrors the aroma, with a smooth smoke that carries through to a slightly sweet aftertaste. Due to its high THC content and potent effects, this strain is generally recommended for evening or nighttime use and should be approached with caution by those with low tolerance to cannabis.

How do you grow Krampus?
Krampus is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors and are ready for harvest by late September to early October outdoors. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant. The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also thrive outdoors in Mediterranean climates with consistent temperatures. Plants tend to stay relatively short and bushy, reaching 90-120 cm indoors and 120-180 cm outdoors.
