Kong: Brilliantly Pink

Kong seeds grow into one of the most unique-looking plants on planet Earth. The bright pink leaves that stick out under the top buds are electric. Each bud has vibrant white pistils that stand up on the very top of the plant. The buds are bright purple in color and look dusty because of the crystal trichomes that cover the surface area. Under certain light, you can even see maroon and dark green hues. The harvested nuggets are purple and red with orange hairs. The nuggets are super dense and pack a punch of THC. The Kong strain as well as its parent strains have won a handful of major awards within the cannabis circuit. The strain has an amazing legacy while it is a relatively new strain in the cannabis community. With write-ups in High Times Magazine as well as a lot of positive attention online, the Kong strain has a ton of positive momentum moving forward. It is a fan favorite among users and growers and is popping up in more and more grow rooms than you can count.

Growing Tips for Our Seeds

Kong cannabis plants can be successfully grown by cultivators with at least an intermediate level of experience, but that’s not to say that novices can’t try their hand at taming this Indica giant. Grown outside, Kong cannabis plants prefer a sunny and temperate climate. A well-lit and temperate climate is also recommended indoors, and this indica strain is also known to thrive in hydroponics. If you can grow this strain successfully you will be rewarded with massive yields of high-quality bud. Between the taste and effects of this strain combined with the high THC content and short flowering time, Kong cannabis is a hugely beneficial grow for all levels of growers.

Dial in Your Growing Conditions

• Indoor or Outdoor: Kong cannabis plants can be grown indoors and outdoors by experienced growers. The ideal temperature for these plants is around 68-77 degrees Fahrenheit. The Kong strain of cannabis requires 18-20 hours of light during the vegetative stage. After vegetation you will want to dial the light cycle back to 12 hours of light and 12 hours of dark to enter the flowering stage and make it to harvest successfully.
•  Moisture control: In terms of humidity levels, you’ll want to set it at 40-50% during the vegetative growth stage. To get the plants through to the flowering stage, you will need to drop the humidity to a steady 30-40% to avoid mold, mildew, and bud rot.
• Training Techniques: Kong cannabis plants generally respond quite well to the Screen of Green (SoG) method, which will help spur new, healthy growth and increase the size of its harvest. The SoG method helps promote healthy bud growth from the top of the plant to the bottom.

• Yields: While Indoor yields are around 700 grams per square meter, outdoor grows typically produce up to 700 grams per plant. These yield numbers are absolutely massive.

Dominant Terpenes in Kong: Peppery & Sweet

• Beta-Caryophyllene: Most Dominant – Spicy and peppery this terpene is found in cloves, black pepper, and cinnamon as well as cannabis.

• Humulene: Common in Cannabis – Used primarily in Chinese medicine the humulene terpene is most commonly found in cannabis plants as well as hops in beer-making.

Dominant Cannabinoids in Kong:

Cannabinoids play an important role in Kong seeds and are generally a huge part of most strains of cannabis. That creative, sleepy, and euphoric feeling you get when enjoying the Kong strain is due to its dominant cannabinoids. Each cannabinoid does something different to the user.

• THC: The Main Character – THC is the most dominant cannabinoid on the molecular level of this strain. The crystalline compound tetrahydrocannabinol is the main ingredient of cannabis. Topping out at 20%, the THC in this Indica strain is responsible for the euphoric and sleepy feeling you get when enjoying Kong cannabis.
• CBD: Very Minimal Amounts – While the CBD levels in Kong are around 1%, the cannabinoid is still present, and the effects are noticeable in this strain. CBD plays a smaller role in what the strain does to the user.
