How to grow Royal Kush
Seb's take
Afghani crossed with Skunk #1, a pairing old enough to need no introduction — skunk and citrus over earthy pine and wood. The high runs the full course: relaxed and happy first, sleepy and tingly last, euphoric throughout. Fast-flowering and forgiving of enthusiasm, this is one for growers just starting out.
Growing Royal Kush: what to expect
Feminized photoperiod stock. You control when she flowers, which is a responsibility as much as a convenience; the light schedule guide keeps you on the right side of it.
She takes a conventional 9 weeks to flower. Conventional is underrated; so is knowing what week you're in.
Expect 550 g/m² — a working grower's yield, reliable rather than theatrical. The harvest guide will see it in safely.
The listed THC is 17% — the gentler end of the scale, stated plainly. Harvest timing moves the needle more than most growers realise.
She smells of earth and heritage; nothing invented, nothing added.
Grower reports give her a relaxed lean: unhurried company for an unhurried evening.
