King Louis by Zamnesia
OG Kush × LA Confidential
King Louis, also known as King Louis XIII or King Louie OG, is a predominantly indica strain developed by Zamnesia. It is recognized for its deeply relaxing effects, classic OG characteristics, and a prominent pine aroma.
Appearance
King Louis plants typically exhibit indica traits with broad, dark-green leaves and closely spaced nodes. They maintain a compact stature, often growing between 80-120 cm indoors. The flowers are dense, resembling golf balls or spades, and can become very firm by harvest. Buds are coated in a thick layer of resin, giving them a frosted appearance and indicating high trichome density.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma is predominantly pine-forward, with earthy and woody undertones, complemented by a bright citrus note. Initial scents can include lemon cleaner, evolving into forest floor and cedar notes, with a subtle diesel or petrol hint. Upon grinding, the aroma intensifies, featuring citrus and pine with warm, peppery aspects. The flavor follows suit, offering a clean pine taste upfront, followed by lemon rind and resinous wood. The exhale becomes earthier with hints of spice and hash.
Effects
This strain is widely regarded as a nighttime favorite due to its potent, heavy body effects that take hold quickly and provide a long-lasting, tranquil experience. It is known for inducing deep relaxation and a sense of calm.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
King Louis is a THC-dominant cultivar, with reported THC levels reaching up to 24%. It contains less than 1% CBD. The terpene profile is often described as limonene-forward, with significant contributions from myrcene. Other terpenes like caryophyllene and pinene are also noted, contributing to its complex aroma and effects.
Growing
Zamnesia stabilized King Louis into feminized seeds by crossing OG Kush with LA Confidential. This variety is known for its consistent phenotypes, stout structure, and significant resin production. It is generally considered accessible for growers, with indoor plants typically reaching heights of 80-120 cm. The flowering period is typical for indica-dominant strains, resulting in dense, heavy buds.
Origins & Lineage
King Louis originated in Southern California's OG Kush ecosystem and was later stabilized by Zamnesia. It is a cross between OG Kush and LA Confidential genetics. OG Kush contributes classic OG characteristics, including pine and citrus notes, while LA Confidential reinforces a compact structure and calming undertones.
