Origins & Lineage

Its genetic makeup combines the photoperiod 3 Kings (itself a blend attributed to Headband, Sour Diesel, and OG Kush) with stabilized Cannabis ruderalis genetics. This cross confers the autoflowering trait, allowing the plant to flower regardless of light cycle, while aiming to preserve the characteristic diesel-kush profile and uplifting potency.
