King Kong Strain Review – Bonza Blog
King Kong proves its dominance with its intensely stoning high that packs a powerful punch even with the smallest hit. Although it may seem intimidating, the strain named after the famous character can calm one’s nerves and relax it to the point of sedation. In spite of this, it is a skyscraping potent hybrid that delivers heavy-handed euphoria and relaxation that leaves users in complete awe of its complex genetics.
Having Ed Rosenthal Super Bud as its parent makes this a strong contender against breeding strains. After all, its parent is named after one of the cannabis industry’s best horticulturists. With a skunk smoke, its strong high cranks users into a state of tranquility that matches sofa-anchor strains. Meanwhile, the addition of Chronic turned it into the grow room beast that it is. The latter is one of the most distinguished high-yielding strains. Moreover, it has a delicious fusion of citrus that stirs an uplifting high.

Odor and Flavors
As its nugs start to pop, a pungent, skunky odor fills the air. The exotic scent is complemented by a sweet undertone of honey-drop with a hint of ripe lemon. Once combusted, the smell carries over to the taste and enlivens the palate with its deep earthiness. As the fumes swirl in the mouth, the fresh flavor of pine and sandalwood can be relished. During the exhale, it leaves a spicy aftertaste.
Effects
The King Kong experience is akin to floating in relaxation. While looming with an Indica nature, it still takes the mind for a euphoric spin. During this time, thoughts clear up, and attention to details is heightened. An upbeat feeling intensifies and it is this sense of happiness that sets the tone for the upcoming buzz.

A soothing hum, beginning with a subtle tingling sensation, travels down the spine and spreads to the lower extremities. It leaves in its wake a mass of muscles entirely relieved of tension that deeply relaxes users. Still, the first few hours are not at all sedating. Rather than heaviness planting itself in the limbs, it is a burst of energy that turns the body into a well-oiled machine that is ready to complete tasks.
For this reason, the best time to use the strain is late in the afternoon where there are still tasks to be finished. But, if one chooses, it may also be used at home before bedtime as added motivation for passion projects.

Still, one must remember to use the strain in moderation. After all, the experience could also be quite intense. King Kong is never to be underestimated. Once a high enough dosage is consumed, it could usher in a trippy ride – one in which the mind flips through random ideas in rapid succession before drifting off into deep introspection. The blissfully crippling high is also a reason why it is best consumed at the end of the day at home.
For lazy weekends or slow evenings that need an ultra-relaxing high that fights off stress, pain and worry, King Kong is the ticket. It will clear off any remaining plans and get ready to dive into blissful slumber.
Adverse Reactions
It is best not to challenge the potency of King Kong. Its slow-starting head high creeps up from behind before delivering an astounding blow to the head. Most of the time, users only experience a temporary dizziness. In worst-case scenarios, it can be quite anxiety-inducing as a subtle feeling of paranoia creeps in.
Additionally, the marijuana’s thick smoke can cause coughing, so keep each toke small. Staying hydrated before, during, and after each session also prevents the constant discomfort from exacerbating the un fostering dryness in the mouth or eyes.
Medical Use and Benefits
After the initial euphoric onset followed by deep relaxation, it is almost impossible even to feel a little stress. Indeed, one of the best uses of King Kong is to chill in relaxation far from the hassles of daily life. It also allows for a reprieve from conditions such as depression along with other mental health issues like PTSD and anxiety.

Once the full effects kick into the body, it takes out muscles and joint pains. It is useful in dealing with other conditions such as migraines and PMS. Not only that, but it could also induce the appetite lost through destructive treatments such as chemotherapy.
Once entirely relaxed, drowsiness sets in. It is of benefit to patients who need to rest. By cutting down on sleep latency, it also helps in sleep disorders such as insomnia. It takes a while before the sedating qualities of the strain start to manifest.
Growing King Kong
King Kong is a stout and bushy plant with thick stalks that are as green as a dense moss. At the apex of its branches are colas that are tightly packed with buds that shimmer from its abundant amount of crystal trichomes. It is also quite dense with amber-colored hairs.

It thrives best in warm climates but can tolerate the cold. Maintenance is generally straightforward with growers having to keep its growing area free of debris, pests, and animals. It is a voracious feeder too. This makes it a great for beginners who often make the mistake of nutrient burn. Moreover, the additional nutritional requirements come with an insanely high yield as a reward.
Ideally, it should be grown using hydroponics under the Sea of Green to optimize growth. Using organic soil is also suitable. It takes about 7 to 8 weeks to bloom fully. And, once chopped down, the yield hovers between 700 to 900 grams of buds per square meter.
