Kings Kush

Under the name Kings Kush, this flower is the OG Kush and Grape cross that Leafly and AllBud both title King’s Kush.

Long, mint-green nugs with orange hairs

AllBud describes the nugs as long and grape-shaped, mint green in colour, with vivid orange hairs and a dusting of tiny, sparkling white crystals. Leafly growers report purple and blue buds under the trichomes, and one who grew it outdoors rated the frost as decent rather than heavy.

Earthy diesel on the nose, grape on the tongue

AllBud’s aroma notes are earthy diesel and sweet fruit, topped by a strong, pungent dank note that carries through a room. For flavour, it gives spicy grape with a heavy diesel exhale, and one AllBud reviewer mentions a floral smell.

Reviewers on Leafly describe grape, grapefruit and lavender flavours, a pungent aroma and grape that lingers on the throat. Leafly ranks limonene as the dominant terpene, ahead of linalool and myrcene, and our guide to limonene explains that citrus terpene.

Gradual but powerful, in Leafly’s words

Leafly sums up the effects as gradual but powerful, feeling relaxed and euphoric. Beyond those two, its reviewers tag happy, giggly, focused, uplifted, energetic and tingly. Leafly also places the strain above its site average for THC, at about 21% (CBD 0%), and AllBud’s range runs from 19 to 27%.

Health Canada‘s lower-risk tips, by comparison, set a newcomer’s first smoke at one or two puffs and 10% THC at most. Inhaled cannabis may not reach its peak until 30 minutes in, it adds.
