Kronic Kola
Also known as: Kronic Cola, Kronic Kola OG
Kronic Kola Strain Overview
Kronic Kola is a hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the early 2010s, primarily within the West Coast cannabis scene. Its exact origins are somewhat obscure, but it is widely believed to be a cross between the indica-dominant OG Kush and a sativa-dominant Colombian landrace strain, often cited as Colombian Gold. This genetic blend aims to combine the potent, relaxing body effects of OG Kush with the uplifting, cerebral clarity associated with classic sativas. The strain gained popularity among connoisseurs for its unique flavor profile and balanced effects, though it remains less mainstream than many other OG Kush derivatives.
The strain's name is derived from its distinctive aroma and flavor, which many users describe as reminiscent of a cola beverage, with sweet, earthy, and slightly spicy notes. Visually, Kronic Kola buds are typically dense and chunky, with a forest green color often interspersed with dark purple hues due to anthocyanin expression in cooler climates. The flowers are coated in a generous layer of frosty trichomes and feature vibrant orange pistils. The plant structure tends to be bushy with indica-like branching, but can exhibit some sativa stretch during flowering.
Kronic Kola is noted for its well-rounded effects that begin with a cerebral euphoria and gradually transition into a soothing physical relaxation without heavy sedation. This makes it a versatile strain suitable for both daytime and evening use for many consumers. Its relative rarity compared to more commercial strains means that specific phenotypic variations may exist, and consistent quality can depend heavily on the cultivator's expertise. As with many cannabis strains, users are advised to start with low doses to assess individual tolerance.

Kronic Kola Strain Growing Information
Kronic Kola is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. It has a flowering time of approximately 8 to 10 weeks when grown indoors. Outdoor harvests typically occur in mid to late October in the Northern Hemisphere. The plant prefers a warm, Mediterranean-like climate with low humidity to prevent mold. It can be grown both indoors and outdoors, with indoor yields averaging around 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions, and outdoor plants producing 500-600 grams per plant. The plant exhibits a bushy, indica-dominant structure but can stretch significantly during the flowering stretch phase, often reaching a medium to tall height. Pruning and training techniques like topping and low-stress training (LST) are recommended to manage canopy height and improve light penetration. It is somewhat resistant to pests and mildew but requires good air circulation.
