The Kind by Tempest Grove Genetics
White Widow × OG Kush × Durban Poison × Haze
The Kind is a hybrid cannabis strain developed by Tempest Grove Genetics, aiming to blend the desirable traits of both indica and sativa varieties. It is recognized for its balanced genetic profile and the careful breeding techniques employed to achieve a consistent and robust phenotype.
Appearance
The Kind exhibits dense, resinous buds with a compact structure, indicative of its well-balanced genetics. Plants may develop deep purple hues in cooler conditions, contrasted by bright green leaves. The buds are notably covered in a thick layer of frosty trichomes, contributing to their high resin production, and are further adorned with small orange pistils.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma of The Kind presents an evolving profile, starting with initial notes of citrus and earth, which deepen into undertones of pine and spice as the bud is handled. Its flavor mirrors this complexity, beginning with a bright, citrusy and lemon-pepper taste on the inhale, followed by an earthy, woody aftertaste and subtle hash-like notes.
Effects
This hybrid strain is noted for delivering a balanced experience, combining cerebral stimulation with a soothing body high. It is often described as promoting calmness, creativity, and a sense of well-being, making it suitable for both recreational enjoyment and managing certain conditions.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
Laboratory analysis indicates The Kind typically contains THC levels ranging from 18% to 24%, with CBD around 1% to 2%. Trace amounts of other cannabinoids like CBG and CBC may also be present. Key terpenes identified include myrcene, limonene, and pinene, contributing to its distinct aroma, flavor, and effects.
Origins & Lineage
The Kind was developed by Tempest Grove Genetics through deliberate selection and crossbreeding, drawing inspiration from established strains like White Widow, OG Kush, Durban Poison, and Haze. The breeding process aimed for a genetic composition that is approximately 50% indica and 50% sativa, with over 70% of its genetic makeup traceable to legacy, terpene-rich strains.
Growing
Cultivated using historical breeding techniques and intensive field trials, The Kind is known for its robust phenotype. While specific details on cultivation difficulty, flowering time, yield, or optimal environment are not provided, its development emphasizes consistency and resin production.
