Magnum Opus
Magnum Opus
Also known as: Long Valley Royal Kush F10
Magnum Opus Strain Overview
Magnum Opus is a legendary cannabis strain created by the renowned breeder Mandelbrot (also known as Ras Truth) from Emerald Mountain in Northern California. Originally bred by Mandelbrot, this strain represents the fusion of a highly prized 10th Generation Long-Valley Reserve Male with Mandelbrot's original Royal Kush F1 clone. The Magnum Opus serves as the end of the line for breeding Royal Kush and stands as a salute to one of the greatest breeders and visionaries in the history of the Emerald Triangle. Following Mandelbrot's tragic passing in 2015, the work was carried on further by Leo Stone and continues to be preserved by respected cultivators and seed companies.
This strain exhibits oversized flowers that are usually dark green with a mix of purple along with dark amber pistils and chunky amber trichomes, displaying dark purplish hues. Magnum Opus is genetically a cross of Sour Diesel, Garberville Purple Kush, and Highland Afghani, creating a well-balanced hybrid strain that combines the best qualities of both indica and sativa strains. Interestingly, it is actually a lower potency strain compared to modern breeding standards and often isn't sought individually, yet it maintains legendary status among connoisseurs for its unique characteristics and historical significance in cannabis culture.

Magnum Opus Strain Growing Information
Magnum Opus grows wonderfully in outdoor climates and thrives in outdoor conditions, making it an excellent choice for outdoor growers with robust genetics that enable it to withstand varying weather conditions. The strain has a flowering time of 63-70 days, though some sources indicate the original Royal Kush finished earlier than most fuel strains with a photoperiod of only 50-55 days versus the 70-75 days required for most OGs and Sours. This strain exhibits vigorous growth and can reach considerable height, so ample space is recommended when cultivating it, and with proper care rewards growers with abundant and resinous buds. The strain thrives best when growers maintain consistent humidity and temperature levels, essential factors that enhance terpene profiles and resin production, and though classified as an intermediate growing experience, novice growers can successfully nurture this strain with diligent attention to details.
