Kublai
Kublai Strain Overview
Kublai is a relatively rare indica-dominant cannabis strain named after Kublai Khan, the founder of the Yuan dynasty and grandson of Genghis Khan. The strain's exact origins are somewhat obscure, with limited documentation available about its specific breeding history. It appears to have emerged in the early 2000s from boutique breeders who sought to create a potent, relaxing strain with distinctive flavor characteristics. The name reflects the strain's powerful, commanding effects that some users describe as 'conquering' stress and tension.
Visually, Kublai typically produces dense, chunky buds with a forest green coloration often accented by deep purple hues, particularly when exposed to cooler temperatures during cultivation. The flowers are usually heavily coated in frosty trichomes, giving them a shimmering appearance. Orange to rust-colored pistils weave through the buds, creating a visually striking contrast. The strain's aroma profile is complex, blending earthy, woody notes with subtle sweet undertones.
Kublai is known among cannabis enthusiasts for its deeply relaxing and sedating effects, making it primarily an evening or nighttime strain. While not as widely available as mainstream commercial strains, it has developed a cult following among indica lovers who appreciate its potent physical effects and distinctive flavor profile. The strain's rarity means that consistent phenotypes can be challenging to find, and its characteristics may vary somewhat between different growers and batches.

Kublai Strain Growing Information
Kublai is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, best suited for growers with some experience. The plants typically have a flowering time of 8-9 weeks when grown indoors. Outdoor plants are usually ready for harvest in late September to early October in the Northern Hemisphere. Kublai tends to produce medium to high yields of dense, resinous buds when grown under optimal conditions. The plants usually remain relatively compact, reaching heights of 3-4 feet indoors and 4-6 feet outdoors, making them suitable for both cultivation environments. They prefer a warm, Mediterranean-like climate with low humidity to prevent mold issues. Growers should monitor nutrient levels carefully as the plants can be sensitive to overfeeding. Some phenotypes may develop purple coloration when exposed to cooler nighttime temperatures during the final weeks of flowering.
