How to grow King Kong
Taste
Seb's take
Gorilla Glue, Big Buddha Cheese and White Widow combine in a strain whose aroma outweighs the size of the operation growing it, a few plants will smell like considerably more. Sweet, sour and chocolate notes lead into a relaxed, happy, faintly psychedelic high. Does not travel discreetly, and grows tall enough to need the headroom.
Where it comes from
Gorilla Glue, Big Buddha Cheese and White Widow, three loud names combined by Big Buddha Seeds into a plant whose aroma outweighs the operation growing it. Gorilla Glue brings the resin and the grip; the Cheese the funk; White Widow the frost. Three-quarters indica in the reckoning. The result will make a few plants smell like considerably more, which is either a feature or a warning depending on your neighbours.
Nose & flavour
Sweet and sour up front with a genuine chocolate note behind, a nose-curling aroma by the breeder's own account. Loud, rich and unmistakable. It does not travel discreetly.
The high
Relaxed and happy with a faintly psychedelic edge, the sort of effect the breeder cheerfully calls devastating. Enough to occupy the senses without tipping into the frantic. One that settles you rather than sends you.
Growing it
A rapid-growing, tall plant, so it wants only a short vegetative stretch of one to two weeks before flowering and a firm eye on its height thereafter. Flowering spans 56 to 77 days. The yield is logged modestly at 200 g/m², so this is a plant grown for character and aroma rather than sheer weight, with THC at 17%. The odour alone argues strongly for a good carbon filter. Give her the headroom and the ventilation both.
