Kroma
Also known as: Kroma Kush
Kroma Strain Overview
Kroma is a relatively rare hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the early 2010s from boutique breeders in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. The strain's exact origins are somewhat obscure, with limited documentation available about its development. Breeders reportedly created Kroma by crossing two potent parent strains to achieve a balanced hybrid with distinctive visual characteristics and a complex terpene profile.
The strain is noted for its striking appearance, featuring dense, conical buds with a deep forest green coloration accented by vibrant orange pistils. A generous coating of trichomes gives Kroma buds a frosty, crystalline appearance that contributes to its name (derived from the Greek word 'chroma' meaning color). The buds typically have a medium to large size with a tight, compact structure characteristic of indica-dominant hybrids.
Kroma's aroma profile is complex and layered, combining earthy base notes with citrus undertones and subtle hints of spice. The flavor follows a similar pattern, with users reporting a smooth smoke that transitions from earthy pine to citrus on the exhale. While not widely available in commercial markets, Kroma has developed a cult following among connoisseurs who appreciate its balanced effects and distinctive appearance.

Kroma Strain Growing Information
Kroma is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, making it more suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are moderate to high, averaging 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant in favorable environments.
The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor growing, though indoor cultivation allows better control over environmental factors. Plants tend to remain medium in height (3-5 feet indoors, 5-7 feet outdoors) with a bushy structure that benefits from pruning and training techniques like topping or low-stress training. Kroma prefers a stable climate with consistent temperatures and moderate humidity, particularly during flowering to prevent mold. The plants respond well to organic nutrients and require adequate spacing for proper air circulation.
