Three Blue Kings is a cross between three classics (some call it a “tri-brid”) by the breeders at Humboldt. It’s Headband crossed with Sour Diesel, the product of which was then crossed with OG Kush. The buds are juicy, heavy, and sweet. The high is strong and long. This strain has a “warming” effect that can make you feel really tranquil and aroused. The THC levels vary widely between 16% and 32%, with an average in the lower 20s that is sure to keep even experienced users occupied in their zesty, kingly haze.

This strain flowers in around 63-70 days. It grows in a stable structure that supports the plants pretty well, so you don’t have to worry about trellising or other support for your branches. It yields heavily, with some growers reporting an outdoor mid-October harvest of 3,500g per plant, which is insane. Its nodes are spaced pretty evenly too, so you can easily prune it. If you have a greenhouse and a warm, dry climate, your Three Blue Kings should make a strong addition to your royal crop.

The buds that grow from Three Blue Kings are large, heavy spades, with a dense forest green color mottled with blue undertones and covered in bright pistils and small light-blue trichomes. The flavor, like the aroma of the plants, is pretty fruity-gassy and very potent. The scent is smoky and sweet, with hints of its zesty citrus genetics. On the aftertaste, you’ll get strong whiffs of pine, lemon, blueberries, spice, earth, and a dash of petrol.

The strain’s high is very stimulating, starting with a feeling of uplifting energy that easily leads to snacking and giggling. It’s perfect for feeling cerebral in the morning and getting productive and relaxed in the afternoon. For most users, the high lasts for hours, leading eventually to a feeling of peaceful bliss and even arousal as the strain progresses from a mental stimulant to a physical tingle. A strong reaction is to be expected based on its THC, and Three Blue Kings delivers.

This is why we recommend Three Blue Kings for the mornings and early afternoons when its zesty pine flavors and energizing properties can do you the most good. You’ll feel not only happy and cerebral and raring to go but also relaxed in a pungent haze. The strain packs a powerful punch and an illustrious lineage, but so long as you have a little experience, this strain could be transformative. Just make sure you have snacks nearby.
