3 Kings Strain

The 3 Kings Strain has a more energetic, uplifting, and cerebral high than most other marijuana strains. Like all diesel strains, the 3 Kings Strain tends to get tall and may not be well-suited for indoor gardens.

Fortunately, it’s also a very generous yielder.

The 3 Kings Strain grows well in bright, sunny weather; so, if you do plan to grow the 3 Kings Strain indoors, make sure to keep your lights about 18-24 inches from the top of your canopy and raise them up slowly as the plants grow.

Lowering your lights will also help control stretching, which the 3 Kings Strain is known for doing. Just make sure that the colas never touch the lights.

It’s also a good idea to prune your branches early to keep a nice even canopy and prevent your plants from growing too tall.

All the diesel strains are prone to carrying the latent hop viroid. Therefore, if you do plan on growing the 3 Kings Strain, make sure to use clean, fresh soil. If you notice any signs of viruses, it’s important to clear the affected plants right away.

Do to its longer flowering time, the 3 Kings Strain doesn’t need to spend a ton of time vegging. In fact, indoor growers can probably skip it altogether. The 3 Kings Strain also does better in larger containers, due to its larger overall size at harvest. However, we still recommend starting the 3 Kings Strain in small containers and transplanting them into larger containers after about a month.

This extra step will help strengthen the roots and ultimately increase the overall yield at harvest.

Indoor growers should always maintain a temperature of around 74 – 78 degrees Fahrenheit inside their grow space and keep the air circulating. The 3 Kings Strain doesn’t like high humidity so we recommend that you take steps to ensure your plants are receiving adequate ventilation. Taking other preventative measures against common molds and fungi will behoove you in the long run.

Since the 3 Kings Strain tends to grow tall and thin, you should seriously consider adding some type of support system to your crop, such as a trellis net or tomato cages, to prevent mature flowers from weighing down the thinner branches.

The 3 Kings Strain also tends to be a thirstier strain than most and therefore requires more frequent watering so be sure to keep an eye on the dampness of your substrate.

You can increase your yield, and the overall health of your plant, by allowing the substrate to dry out in between waterings. This measure will help encourage root growth and lead to a more vigorous outcome.

Due to its unmistakable smell, we recommend taking all possible security precautions when growing the 3 Kings Strain.

Always make sure to calibrate your pH meter properly, and always adjust the pH of your water so that the run-off water measures around 6.0.

Make sure to also allow adequate time for flushing to remove any residual mineral salts that may have accumulated during the long flowering period.

We recommend that soil growers flush the 3 Kings Strain for 10 to 14 days prior to harvest and that hydroponic growers flush the 3 Kings Strain for 7 to 10 days prior to harvest.

In general, longer flushes tend to produce better flavors and aromas without decreasing yield.

Lastly, be patient. The 3 Kings Strain can take a while to flower so make sure to monitor the trichomes closely under a 100x microscope and give them time to mature and start to turn amber before harvesting.
