4 Kings strain guide
4 Kings is an indica-leaning hybrid from Exotic Genetix, bred from an LA cut of OG Kush and Triple OG. It's a Kush strain through and through: piney, earthy and a little sweet, with a citrus edge. People describe a happy, uplifted start that settles into a relaxed body feel.
Where does 4 Kings come from?
4 Kings comes from Exotic Genetix, a US breeder. The cross most often given is a female from the Los Angeles cut of OG Kush, listed on one database as LA Kush, bred to Triple OG. Another database agrees on the breeder and the LA OG side, but notes that Triple OG is only "probably" the other parent, so treat that half as likely rather than settled.
Most listings call it about 80% indica. It's also listed as Four Kings. Watch for a different plant with almost the same name: Purple City Genetics sells a 4kings that is a separate, candy-gas cross with no OG Kush link.
What does 4 Kings smell and taste like?
Expect a classic OG Kush family smell: pine and damp earth first, with a pungent, sweet note underneath. Some describe a citrus punch up front, and a few reviewers mention fruitier notes like apple and peach.
No reliable source publishes a terpene breakdown for 4 Kings, so we've left the terpene list blank rather than borrow one from its OG parents. The taste usually follows the smell, with pine and earth on the finish.
4 Kings effects: what people report
People most often describe 4 Kings as euphoric, happy and uplifted at first. Many reviews say that early lift levels off into a heavier, relaxed and sometimes sedated feel, which fits its indica lean. Several mention getting hungry.
These are experiences people report, not promises, and 4 Kings has only a small number of reviews. How it feels depends on the product, how much you have and your own tolerance. Dry mouth, dry eyes and dizziness are the most common complaints.
How strong is 4 Kings?
Published numbers are scarce. The few listings that give one put 4 Kings at roughly 20% to 21% THC, with very little CBD.
If you're new to it, start small and wait before having more. The THC and CBD on your product's label matter more than any range online. Our guide to reading cannabis labels explains what those numbers mean.
Buying 4 Kings in Canada
4 Kings is a less common name, so read the label carefully. Make sure you're looking at the OG-family 4 Kings and not the unrelated Purple City Genetics 4kings, and check which producer grew it.
If you find it, it may come as dried flower, pre-rolls or extracts. Check the THC and CBD numbers and the packaging date, since fresher flower holds more of that piney smell.
4 Kings vs LA Kush
LA Kush is the name one database gives for 4 Kings' mother, though the LA Kush in our guide is itself loosely documented, so it isn't certain they're the exact same plant. Both share the Los Angeles OG Kush background, a pine and earth smell and a happy, relaxed feel. LA Kush is known for a cool, menthol-like edge and lower listed THC, while 4 Kings adds Triple OG for a heavier, more indica finish. Pick LA Kush for something mellower and chattier, or 4 Kings if you want more weight.
