King Tut
King Tut
Also known as: Tutankhamon, Pharaoh, Tut
Overview
Better known as Tutankhamon, King Tut the marijuana strain pays homage to the powerful Pharaoh Tutankhamun, one of the youngest and certainly the most famous of Egypt's early rulers. King Tut the strain is a sativa-dominant hybrid (sativa/indica ratio of 80:20) with an uncertain parentage, though it's known to descend from the legendary sativa-dominant AK-47. The King Tut strain has its roots in the fertile grounds of Spain, where it was meticulously bred and cultivated by the renowned seed bank, Pyramid Seeds. Drawing inspiration from the legendary AK-47 strain, Pyramid Seeds embarked on a journey to create a hybrid that would capture the essence of its parent while adding its own unique characteristics.
King Tut even though a sativa has light green chunky buds that have a thick frosting of white trichomes and an abundnce of neon orange pistils. THC levels are rumored to be quite high, though King Tut's rarity makes it hard to know for sure. King Tut is most popular in Michigan, Arizona, and the Pacific Northwest. It grows in a compact formation that favors heavy, dense branches. It takes around 60 days to flower, at which point you'll have a high yield of buds frosted with crystals. Growers say this strain is sensitive to high humidity and fungus, but makes for an excellent mother plant.

Growing Information
According to the breeder, King Tut grows compact with heavy branching, and is easy enough to handle for even novice cultivators. Following a 60-day flowering cycle, this plant produces high yields of spongy, crystal-coated buds. Maintaining some of her AK genetics, King Tut has a fairly short flowering time of 53-63 days (indoors). She is known to branch out in the veg period and produce dense indica-like buds with earthy, pungent, and sweet tastes, as well as a staggering yield at up to 1200g outdoors. Suitable for indoor and outdoor growing conditions, cultivators can expect over 500 grams per square meter when grown inside and up to 1,500 grams per plant outside. Do be aware, however, that the strain reaches pyramid-like heights, growing up to 5ft (150cm) inside or up to 6.5ft (200cm) outside. To manage its height, King Tut can benefit from LST and HST techniques. Expect to harvest the plant's bountiful, fluffy buds in under 60 days of flowering time. One thing to watch out for is fungal diseases. Due to the tightly clustered branches and leaves, make sure that the humidity level is not too high.
