Kings Stash by Archive Seed Bank
King Louis XIII OG × Do-Si-Dos
King's Stash is a predominantly indica cultivar developed by Archive Seed Bank, blending classic OG Kush potency with the density and flavor complexity of cookie strains. This boutique-grade hybrid is recognized for its resin production and appealing aesthetics, making it a favorite among connoisseurs.
Appearance
King's Stash typically yields dense, compact buds resembling golf balls or small colas, characterized by a high calyx-to-leaf ratio. The flowers often display deep olive and forest-green hues, sometimes accented with purple streaks under cooler temperatures. Fiery orange pistils contrast with a heavy coating of trichomes, giving the buds a frosted, sugar-dipped appearance.
The structure marries the compact OG style with chunkier, geometric elements from its cookie lineage. Buds are firm and maintain their shape when properly cured, exhibiting a tacky surface due to abundant capitate-stalked trichomes.
Aroma & Flavor
Upon opening, King's Stash releases a strong aroma of OG gas, intertwined with notes of lemon-lime and pine, complemented by an underlying sweetness reminiscent of cookie dough. Initial scents often include fuel and citrus peel, followed by earthy spice and subtle floral undertones.
The aroma diversifies upon grinding, revealing layers of pepper from caryophyllene and bright zest from limonene. Flavors are reported to include citrus, cream, earth, floral notes, lavender, lemon, orange, and a peppery finish.
Effects
As an indica-dominant strain, King's Stash is generally associated with deeply relaxing and body-focused effects, making it suitable for evening use. Its potency can lead to a comfortable sense of sedation and tranquility.
Users have reported experiencing a focused mental state, alongside physical relaxation. These effects historically align with common reasons for cannabis consumption, such as pain relief.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
The terpene profile of King's Stash is noted for its complexity, with Myrcene, Limonene, Caryophyllene, Linalool, and Humulene among the commonly identified compounds. These contribute to its distinct aroma and flavor characteristics.
THC levels typically range from 15-25%, with CBD content below 1%. The strain's robust trichome production suggests significant potential for resin extraction.
Growing
King's Stash exhibits indica-leaning growth traits, including shorter internodes and sturdy lateral branching, resulting in compact, dense flowers. Its genetic heritage suggests a tendency towards robust trichome density and significant resin production, making it appealing for cultivators and extractors.
The plant's structure benefits from careful cultivation to maximize yield and bag appeal. While specific flowering times and yield metrics vary by phenotype and growing conditions, the strain is known for producing high-quality, aesthetically pleasing buds.
Origins & Lineage
Developed by Archive Seed Bank, King's Stash is understood to be a cross between a King Louis XIII OG-type lineage and Do-Si-Dos. This places it within the OG Kush and cookie-family genetic spheres.
The King Louis XIII OG parent contributes a fuel-and-pine aroma and heavy sedation, while Do-Si-Dos, itself a descendant of OGKB and Face Off OG BX1, adds enhanced resin production and earthy-lime notes. This combination aims to deliver classic kush characteristics with modern dessert-like complexity.
