RK7 x NL 5/NL1 x Royal Kush
Also known as: RK7 x NL5/NL1 x Royal Kush, RK7 x Northern Lights 5/Northern Lights 1 x Royal Kush
What is the RK7 x NL 5/NL1 x Royal Kush strain?
RK7 x NL 5/NL1 x Royal Kush is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and citrus and earthy flavor profile.
RK7 x NL 5/NL1 x Royal Kush is a complex polyhybrid cannabis strain resulting from the crossing of multiple established genetics. The strain combines RK7 (a phenotype of the original RK strain), Northern Lights #5, Northern Lights #1, and Royal Kush, creating a blend of indica and sativa characteristics. This strain represents a modern breeding project that aims to combine the best traits of its parent strains, though specific documentation about its exact development timeline and breeder is limited in publicly available sources.
The plant typically displays dense, resinous buds with a mix of deep green and purple hues, often covered in a thick layer of trichomes. The leaves tend to be broad with some serration, showing its indica heritage, while the bud structure can vary between phenotypes. The aroma profile is complex, combining earthy, pine, and kush notes with subtle citrus undertones, reflecting its diverse genetic background.
Notably, this strain is relatively rare in mainstream cannabis markets and seed banks, with most available information coming from grower forums and limited cultivation reports. The polyhybrid nature means phenotypes can vary significantly, making consistent characterization challenging. Some growers report that it maintains the robust growth patterns of its Northern Lights lineage while incorporating the distinctive aroma and flavor profiles of the Royal Kush and RK7 genetics.

How do you grow RK7 x NL 5/NL1 x Royal Kush?
RK7 x NL 5/NL1 x Royal Kush is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, primarily due to its polyhybrid nature and potential phenotype variation. The flowering time typically ranges from 8-10 weeks indoors, with some phenotypes requiring up to 11 weeks. Outdoor harvest in northern hemisphere climates usually occurs in late September to early October.
Indoor yields are moderate to high, averaging 400-500 grams per square meter with proper cultivation techniques. Outdoor plants can produce 500-700 grams per plant in optimal conditions. The plant exhibits medium height, usually staying between 100-150 cm indoors but potentially reaching 180-200 cm outdoors. It responds well to both soil and hydroponic growing methods.
Preferred growing conditions include controlled indoor environments where temperature and humidity can be managed, though it can also thrive outdoors in Mediterranean or similar climates. The plant benefits from training techniques like topping and low-stress training to manage height and improve light penetration. Special considerations include monitoring for mold in dense bud structures and providing adequate support during late flowering when buds become heavy. Nutrient requirements are moderate, with some phenotypes showing sensitivity to overfeeding.
