Night King
What is the Night King strain?
Night King is a indica cannabis strain with up to 25.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and berry and earthy flavor profile.
Night King is a potent indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain that has gained popularity for its powerful sedative effects and frosty appearance. The strain's exact origins are somewhat obscure, but it is widely believed to be a cross between two notable indica varieties, often speculated to include strains like Northern Lights or other heavy-hitting indicas, though its precise lineage is not consistently documented across sources. It emerged in the cannabis market in the late 2010s, coinciding with the rise of pop culture-inspired strain names, and has been cultivated by various breeders, contributing to some variability in its characteristics.
The strain is named for its visually striking buds, which are typically dense, dark green, and heavily coated in white trichomes, giving them a frosty, icy appearance reminiscent of its namesake from fantasy literature. The aroma is often described as a complex blend of earthy, pine, and sweet notes, with some phenotypes exhibiting hints of berry or citrus. Night King is known for its high THC content, which typically ranges from 20% to 25%, making it a strong choice for experienced users seeking intense relaxation.
Notable features include its rapid onset of effects and long-lasting sedation, which are characteristic of many indica strains. It is often recommended for evening or nighttime use due to its potent body-focused effects. While it has gained a following among recreational users, its rarity in mainstream seed banks means that information can vary, and it is not as widely standardized as some other commercial strains. Growers and users should verify specifics from reliable sources, as phenotypes may differ.

How do you grow Night King?
Night King is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for intermediate to advanced growers. It has a flowering time of approximately 8 to 10 weeks when grown indoors, with outdoor harvests typically ready in late September to early October. The plant tends to be medium in height, often staying compact and bushy due to its indica dominance, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor growing, though indoor cultivation allows better control over environmental factors. Expected yields are moderate to high, with indoor growers reporting around 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Preferred growing conditions include a temperate climate with low humidity to prevent mold, given its dense bud structure. Special considerations include providing strong support for branches during flowering, as the heavy, resinous buds can cause them to sag. Training techniques like topping or low-stress training (LST) can help maximize light exposure and improve yields.
