Growing

Yields are considered dependable, especially in intensive setups aiming for high grams-per-square-meter per year.
Origins and Lineage
King's Kush Automatic was developed by Green House Seeds, a breeder renowned for its award-winning genetics. The strain is a hybrid derived from the original photoperiod King's Kush, which itself is a cross of OG Kush and a grape-forward cultivar. Stable ruderalis genetics were integrated to create the auto-flowering version, ensuring day-length independence and a compressed growth cycle. This breeding effort aimed to retain the characteristic grape-kush qualities while enhancing practicality for growers.
