Midnight King
Midnight King Strain Overview
Midnight King is a potent indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain known for its deep relaxation effects and distinctive dark appearance. The strain's exact origins are somewhat obscure, but it is believed to have been developed through selective breeding of classic indica genetics, possibly involving parent strains like Granddaddy Purple or other purple-hued varieties. Its name reflects both its dark coloration and its reputation for providing restful, nighttime effects.
The strain is characterized by dense, chunky buds that often display deep purple and dark green hues, sometimes appearing almost black under certain lighting conditions. These dark colors are complemented by a generous coating of frosty trichomes and occasional orange pistils. The visual appeal is matched by a complex aroma profile that combines sweet, fruity notes with earthy undertones and a hint of spice. The flavor typically follows the aroma, with users reporting a smooth smoke that carries sweet berry flavors with earthy, woody notes on the exhale.
Midnight King has gained popularity among indica enthusiasts for its powerful sedative properties and is often recommended for evening or nighttime use. While not as widely available as some mainstream strains, it has developed a dedicated following in certain cannabis communities. The strain's combination of striking appearance, pleasant flavor, and strong effects has made it a sought-after variety for those seeking deep physical relaxation and mental calm.

Midnight King Strain Growing Information
Midnight King is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors and are ready for harvest by late September to early October when grown outdoors. Indoor yields are moderate to high, averaging 14-16 ounces per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 16-18 ounces per plant under optimal conditions. The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also thrive outdoors in warm, Mediterranean-like climates with consistent temperatures. Plants tend to stay relatively compact, reaching heights of 3-4 feet indoors and 4-6 feet outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining stable temperatures (70-80°F during day, 60-70°F at night) and moderate humidity levels, particularly during flowering to prevent mold. The strain's dark coloration develops best with cooler nighttime temperatures during the final weeks of flowering.
