Origin
King Kong is generally given as Chronic crossed with Ed Rosenthal Super Bud, bred by the Spanish outfit Dr. Underground, though one source names a Buddha Cheese cross instead. Chronic brings the yield; Ed Rosenthal Super Bud brings more of the same plus the resin. It has no descendants on file. It is a separate strain from King Kong Kush, which has a different lineage entirely.

About
King Kong is a Spanish grower's strain, bred for yield and resin.
Dr. Underground crossed Chronic with Ed Rosenthal Super Bud for a fast, sticky, high-yield indica. The effect is narcotic with a surprising focused streak. It is also confused with a different King Kong Kush.
It is a grower's strain.
What to Expect
King Kong is a comforting, narcotic indica calm with a focused edge. Leafly's reviewers lead with relaxed at 68 percent of a solid sample, with happiness and a euphoric lift behind, and the deeper data pushes the focused reading much higher than the raw count. It comes on fast.
Dry mouth reaches 27 percent, with dry eyes at 13 and dizziness, headache and a paranoid note all clustered near 6 to 9. A moderate dose keeps those low. It is a night strain.
Flavor and Aroma
King Kong smells of citrus and fruit over a spicy, herbal base with a skunk edge. The flavor is earthier, with the skunk carrying through and a light herb note. It is a pungent, savory profile.
Terpenes Explained
King Kong has no measured terpene profile in our data, with only Myrcene, Caryophyllene and Limonene named.
The skunky, spicy character sits in compounds a standard panel does not fully report. A jar with a strong, genuinely stinky pungency is true to type, since that funk is part of why growers keep it.
Cannabinoids and Potency
King Kong THC is reported from about 14 to 20 percent, moderate, with no clean lab sample in our data. Sources call the effect narcotic despite the modest number. There is no CBD.
King Kong tests moderate but plays like a heavy indica, so treat it as a strong sedative and keep it for the evening.
