Manufacturer Information
Genetics & Origin of King Kong
King Kong has its roots in the original Gorilla Glue #4. Big Buddha Seeds crossed this line with its in-house Cheese/Widow Reversal, which the breeder values for consistent yields. According to the manufacturer, the aim of the hybridisation was to improve yield and structure. The result is an Indica-dominant strain with 75% Indica and 25% Sativa. Big Buddha Seeds gives the THC content merely as high and the CBD content as low; the manufacturer does not state percentages. The seeds are feminised and photoperiod, so flowering only begins after the light cycle is switched. If you would like to compare the Gorilla side, you will find a strain with a related name in our range in Original Gorilla 4; Auto Blue Cheese also comes from the Big Buddha Seeds catalogue.
Who Is King Kong For?
King Kong is a strain for growers with experience and patience. It suits:
- Experienced growers who can confidently manage up to 11 weeks of flowering
- Fans of the Gorilla Glue line who like earthy, resinous aromas
- Indoor growers with enough headroom for 100 to 150 cm
- Outdoor gardeners in warm locations with a dry late autumn
- Consumers looking for a cheerful, psychedelic effect
It is less suitable for beginners: flowering can take over ten weeks, and outdoors harvest is not until the end of October. You can find faster alternatives under High Yield & Short Flowering.
Growing King Kong: Indoor & Outdoor
Indoor Growing
Big Buddha Seeds gives the flowering time of King Kong as 8 to 11 weeks – so depending on the plant it can take considerably longer than with many other hybrids. According to the manufacturer, the indoor yield is 200 to 450 g/m² and the height 100 to 150 cm. The breeder rates the difficulty level as medium to difficult and recommends the strain to experienced growers. When harvesting, go by the trichomes rather than the calendar. With the strong, sweet, resinous smell, a good carbon filter is important, and supports relieve the shoots in the long final phase. You will find further reading in the Growpedia.
Outdoor Growing
The manufacturer lists King Kong for both indoors and outdoors. Outdoors, however, harvest is not until the end of October – in Central Europe that is late, because rain, fog and cool nights increase the risk of mould. Outdoor growing therefore makes sense above all in warm, dry locations or in a greenhouse. Big Buddha Seeds does not state a yield per plant. You can find more strains for outdoors under outdoor seeds. Only grow where it is legal to do so.
Effect, Aroma & Flavour of King Kong
Big Buddha Seeds calls the flavour of King Kong unique: earthy and sticky notes reminiscent of Gorilla Glue. According to the manufacturer, the scent is strong and intense, sweet and resinous. The manufacturer does not give a lab terpene profile. It describes the effect as cheerful and psychedelic – an effect that lifts the mind and relaxes the body. That fits the high THC content, which the breeder does not, however, put into per cent; it gives the CBD content as low. Because an exact figure is missing, you should feel your way in carefully, especially if you have little experience of strains with a psychedelic effect. How intense the effect is depends on dose and personal tolerance.
