Long Valley Royal Kush
Also known as: LVRK, Long Valley Royal Kush #11, LVRK #11
Long Valley Royal Kush Strain Overview
Long Valley Royal Kush, also known as "LVRK" or "Long Valley Royal Kush #11," is a slightly sativa-dominant hybrid strain (70% sativa/30% indica) created through a three-way cross of Sour Diesel × Highland Afghani × Garberville Purple Kush strains. Originally developed in 2004 by the late legend Ras Truth (affectionately known as Mandelbrot) from the Emerald Triangle region of Northern California, the strain was created by crossing the highly acclaimed sativa-dominant Sour Diesel with a very rare indica-dominant Pre-Soviet Highland Afghani male and a meticulously selected Garberville Purple Kush clone. LVRK #11 was later bred by a collaborative project between Mandelbrot and Aficionado Estates out of the Humboldt County region of Northern California.
The Long-Valley Royal Kush project aimed to preserve the strain's presence in the market while strengthening the definitive sour-diesel characteristics found in the original elite, enhancing its raw gasoline expression and adapting it to the rigorous Long-Valley climate. By 2008, LVRK was in its 7th generation and had built up quite a reputation, with Mandelbrot selecting a single champion among 3000 plants that became known as the legendary Royal Kush #7. Mandelbrot continued developing the strain until 2013 when his work intersected with fellow world-class breeder Leo Stone, with the two continuing to evolve the strain through the 10th and 11th generations, specifically working on bringing out the gasoline smell and bright colors.

Long Valley Royal Kush Strain Growing Information
Long Valley Royal Kush #11 is relatively simple to grow yet still calls for a moderate amount of attention. It's a resilient plant that's able to withstand high winds and low temperatures, with excessive humidity and neglect potentially leading to mildew but at a lesser risk than other Afghan-derived cannabis plants. One can expect an average size yield from a harvest, with the potential of more with the perfect amount of sunlight and moisture. Flowering time is approximately 56 days (8 weeks) and can be cultivated indoors, outdoors and greenhouse. LVRK #11 fares best when cultivated under a strict 100% organic regimen since she's been bred that way for the last ten plus years, with genes expressing themselves better when receiving the soil and nutrients she's most used to. Similar to Sour Diesel and OG Kush, the long-valley produces many long-legged tops with pronounced extended inter-nodal spacing yielding large dense flowers, and is hungry for calcium and magnesium throughout flower.
