Overview of Kryptonite

Kryptonite is an 85% indica strain with a range of 25-30% THC, 1.9% CBD, and .3% CBN. It is medium green and thin, and it's a compact and heavy strain. The bud is highlighted with frosty crystals and rust-colored hairs. Its parent strains, Killer Queen and Mendocino Purps, provide this flower with therapeutic terpenes including 0.48% humulene, 0.23% beta-caryophyllene, and 0.23% alpha-pinene.

Kryptonite smells like a pinewood forest. With every pull, a sweet berry flavor will hit your tongue along with a skunky, earthy undertone. Its full effects make it hard not to feel relaxed and happy. The results provide a sense of creativity and can be used in relaxation activities like meditation. Kryptonite doesn't leave that typical skunky smell; instead, it provides a sweet berry flavor with an earthy undertone. A puff leaves a pine scent behind. It's great for evening use.

Growing Kryptonite
