3 Kings Feminised

South Africa is really two growing countries, and 3 Kings does not behave the same way in both. North and east of the escarpment the rain arrives in summer, so this 13/87 sativa does its flowering while the air is still heavy; in the Western Cape the rain comes in winter, so the same plant ripens through a dry autumn instead. An open sativa canopy is the right structure for a humid coast, which is roughly how Durban Poison ended up the shape it is — air moves through the plant instead of sitting in it, and the botrytis pressure that ruins denser cultivars through a KwaZulu-Natal February mostly passes it by. The trade-off is the calendar. A 8-10 weeks bloom on the Highveld has to start early, which in practice means seedlings out by October, or the closing weeks run into frost. terpinolene expression is strongest where day-to-night swings exceed 10°C, and at altitude that is simply what autumn does.

Leading with Terpinolene, then Limonene, and Ocimene underneath.

Difficulty: moderate. In flower for 8-10 weeks. Stands 100 cm. Indoors it returns 450-500 g/m2. Outdoors, 800 g/plant a plant.
