The King Of Poison by Rise And Shine Farms
Indica/Sativa Heritage (Undisclosed)
The King Of Poison, bred by Rise and Shine Farms, is a hybrid cultivar recognized for its regal potency and sharp character. This strain blends indica and sativa genetics, aiming for a balanced profile that offers both power and refinement, making it suitable for versatile use.
Appearance and Structure
The King Of Poison produces dense, medium-sized buds that typically feature a conical or bullet-like shape. The flower color ranges from deep green at the core to lighter lime green on the outer bracts, often contrasted by orange or rust-colored pistils. In some phenotypes or cooler finishing temperatures, faint violet hues may appear on the sugar leaves near the apex.
A notable characteristic is the abundant trichome coverage, which gives the buds a frosted appearance even in standard lighting. Under magnification, large gland heads are visible, suggesting suitability for concentrate production. The resin distribution is uniform across the bract surface, contributing to a clean appearance after trimming.
Aroma and Flavor
The aroma of The King Of Poison evolves as the buds mature. Fresh flowers may present a bright, citrus-like top note, often described as lime-like. Upon curing, the bouquet deepens, revealing spicy and herbal layers with a subtle sweet finish. The fragrance is known to be potent, capable of perfuming a space shortly after grinding.
The flavor profile mirrors the aroma, offering a complex experience that combines citrus and orange notes with spicy and herbal undertones. A hint of sweetness can also be detected, contributing to its distinct sensory appeal.
Effects
This hybrid strain is characterized by rapid-onset head effects that gradually transition into a relaxing, body-friendly sensation. It is designed for day-to-night utility, providing a well-balanced experience that is neither overly sedating nor excessively stimulating.
Consumers have reported experiencing focused states, making it a suitable choice for tasks requiring concentration. The overall effect is a blend of mental clarity and physical ease.
Terpenes and Cannabinoids
The King Of Poison is noted for its high THC content, typically ranging from 15% to 25%, with minimal CBD levels (<1%). The terpene profile is complex, with Limonene, Caryophyllene, Humulene, Terpinolene, and Ocimene suggested as key contributors to its aroma and effects.
The combination of these compounds is thought to contribute to its characteristic citrus, earthy, herbal, orange, and spicy notes, as well as its focused and relaxing effects.
Growing Characteristics
The King Of Poison is a hybrid cultivar that exhibits vigor and density, making it rewarding for attentive cultivation. Indoor flowering times are typically around 56 to 63 days, with potential yields of 450 to 550 g per square meter. Outdoor harvests generally occur in late September to early October in temperate regions, with yields potentially exceeding 700 g per plant under optimal conditions.
The plant structure is amenable to training, with thick calyxes and a good calyx-to-leaf ratio that aids in efficient trimming. It requires controlled environments, particularly regarding temperature and humidity during late flower, to maximize terpene output.
Origins and Lineage
Developed by Rise and Shine Farms, The King Of Poison is a modern hybrid resulting from a blend of indica and sativa heritage. While the precise parental cross has not been publicly disclosed, the strain's characteristics suggest a combination of spicy, fuel-like genetics with a bright, citrus-herbal counterpart.
