King Pin
Also known as: Kingpin, Kingpin Kush, King-Pin Kush, KingPin Kush, King Pin Kush
Overview
King Pin is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain that has gained popularity in both legacy and legal markets for its potent effects and distinctive aroma profile. The strain typically exhibits a 70% indica to 30% sativa ratio, though multiple genetic variations exist from different breeders. The most common lineage reported is a cross between Herijuana and Girl Scout Cookies, while another variation by Narcos Seeds combines OG Kush, Kush Chemdog, and Hindu Kush genetics. Some versions also include crosses with Biscotti, Gelato #33, Ice Cream Cake, and OZ Kush.
King Pin is characterized by its dense, resin-rich flowers that display a compact structure typical of indica-dominant hybrids. The buds are typically emerald-green with deep purple leaves and thick red-orange hairs, covered in a frosty coating of chunky, purple-tinted white crystal trichomes. The strain's aroma combines a diesel-pine base characteristic of OG heritage with sweeter notes reminiscent of modern dessert strains, creating a complex bouquet of gas, citrus, and earthy undertones. This hybrid has earned recognition for its high THC content, robust terpene profile, and balanced effects that begin with cerebral euphoria before transitioning into deep physical relaxation.

Growing Information
King Pin is considered a relatively forgiving strain for cultivators with moderate growing difficulty. The strain typically flowers for 7-8 weeks and is suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation. Plants tend to develop a compact, bushy structure characteristic of indica-dominant hybrids, with moderate internodal spacing that allows good light penetration when properly trained. The strain often doubles in height after switching to flowering (1.5-2.0x stretch). Under cooler night temperatures, plants may display purple coloration in bracts and sugar leaves. King Pin produces dense, resin-rich buds with above-average yield potential when grown under optimal conditions. The strain responds well to training techniques and has a relatively forgiving feeding schedule when properly dialed in. Trichome density is typically high enough to support solventless extraction methods.
