What is the Royal Kush strain?

Royal Kush is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 25.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and citrus and earthy flavor profile.

Royal Kush is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain created by G13 Labs, often referred to as 'The King Among Hybrids.' This prestigious strain emerged from the careful crossing of legendary parent strains Afghani and Skunk #1, two cultivars that have achieved iconic status in cannabis breeding circles. The strain represents a masterful blend of classic genetics, combining the deeply relaxing indica effects of Afghani landrace with the potent, aromatic qualities of Skunk #1. Royal Kush typically displays an 80% indica to 20% sativa genetic profile, though some phenotypes may lean as heavily as 90% indica. The buds are visually striking, featuring dense, resin-coated nuggets with deep green hues often accented by purple undertones and vibrant orange pistils. A thick coating of milky white trichomes gives the flowers a frosty, jewel-like appearance that reflects the strain's royal moniker. The strain has gained recognition for its therapeutic potential and potent effects, making it a favorite among both medical patients seeking relief from various conditions and recreational users who appreciate its powerful, long-lasting high that transitions from euphoric cerebral effects to deep physical relaxation conducive to sleep.

Expected yields are approximately 400-550g per square meter indoors and 550-1000g per plant outdoors. The strain thrives in both indoor and outdoor environments but generally performs better indoors where environmental factors can be controlled.
