Kundalini by Magics
Kundalini is a hybrid cannabis cultivar developed by Magic Strains, designed to provide a blend of physical tranquility and mental clarity. Its name is inspired by the yogic concept of spiritual energy, reflecting a branding that emphasizes mind-body equilibrium and meditative focus.
Appearance
Kundalini plants typically reach a medium height indoors, between 80-140 cm, depending on cultivation practices. The plants display moderate internode spacing, which promotes light penetration. Leaflets can vary in width, sometimes showing broader, darker leaves in early growth stages that become narrower under intense light. The buds form dense clusters with a good calyx-to-leaf ratio, aiding in trimming and enhancing visual appeal. Some phenotypes may develop faint purple or mauve hues in the sugar leaves and calyx tips when exposed to cooler night temperatures during late flowering. Pistils transition from cream to apricot and eventually to rust hues, while trichome coverage is significant on bracts and sugar leaves, giving them a frosted appearance.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma of Kundalini is characterized by an incense-like and earthy base, complemented by a sweet citrus lift. Initial scents on dry pull often include peppery spice, followed by herbaceous notes and a subtle woodiness. Grinding the flower releases brighter citrus rind aromas and occasional floral undertones. The flavor profile mirrors the aroma, featuring a peppery-earth core with a citrus zest edge and light herbal sweetness. At lower vaporization temperatures, citrus and floral notes are more pronounced, while higher temperatures bring out spicier, woodier flavors. Combustion may introduce toastier, resinous tones.
Effects
Kundalini is described as a hybrid that promotes a sense of body-centered calm alongside clear-headed uplift. This balanced effect profile aims to provide a smooth experience that is neither overly sedating nor excessively stimulating. The strain is often associated with promoting relaxation and a sense of well-being, aligning with its name's connection to meditative states.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
While specific percentages are not detailed, the terpene profile of Kundalini is understood to contribute to its aroma and effects. Dominant terpenes often include Myrcene, Limonene, and Caryophyllene, with potential contributions from Linalool and Humulene. Caryophyllene is associated with earthy and peppery notes, while Limonene can add citrusy uplift. Myrcene is often linked to calming effects. The cannabinoid profile is typically THC-dominant, with THC levels commonly ranging from 15-25%, and CBD content usually below 1%.
Growing
Kundalini is identified as an indica/sativa hybrid, suggesting a moderate growth habit. Indoor cultivation typically results in plants of medium stature, around 80-140 cm. The flowering period is generally between 56-70 days. The plant's structure is designed to balance resin production with manageable cultivation, potentially offering improved mold resistance due to airier bract architecture in some phenotypes. Yield is not specified, but breeding intent often aims for robust growth and good resin development.
Origins & Lineage
Kundalini was bred by Magic Strains and is classified as an indica/sativa hybrid. The specific genetic lineage or parent strains have not been publicly disclosed by the breeder. This practice is not uncommon in the industry, particularly for proprietary genetics intended to maintain unique chemical profiles and competitive advantage. The strain's name draws inspiration from yogic traditions, suggesting a breeding goal focused on achieving a balance between physical and mental states.
