How To Grow Kong’s Krush from Seed to Harvest 

Kong’s Krush by Green House Seeds is a bold, banana-forward hybrid with a powerful kick. A cross of Banana Punch x Wonder Pie, it pairs creamy banana flavor with musky, spicy notes and a very high 24-25% THC. The effect is powerful and deeply relaxing, making it a strong evening strain, and it grows into a tall, productive plant with a distinctive terpene profile. For growers who want big flavor and a heavy punch, it delivers. 

This is a feminized photoperiod strain, not an autoflower, so it flowers when you shorten the light cycle and gives you full control over veg length, training, and cloning. The figures below are Green House breeder values; check your own pack for the exact numbers.

Kong’s Krush Grow Info 

These are Green House’s published figures for the Kong’s Krush line at Growlantis. The profile does not list an indoor yield; check the specification on your own Kong’s Krush seed pack for exact numbers. 

What Makes Kong’s Krush Worth Growing 

Kong’s Krush stands out on flavor and strength. Its Banana Punch parent brings a bold, creamy banana taste, while Wonder Pie adds depth and resin, for a distinctive musky, spicy, banana profile that is hard to find elsewhere. Backed by a very high 24-25% THC, it offers a powerful, deeply relaxing effect that makes it a serious evening strain. 

For the grower, it is a tall, productive plant that finishes in a reasonable 8-9 weeks and yields well outdoors at around 400 g per plant. Its unique terpene profile and strong potency make it a rewarding choice for flavor chasers who also want a heavy hitter. The main thing to plan for is its height. 

Is Kong’s Krush Indica or Sativa? 

Kong’s Krush is indica dominant, listed at 60% indica and 40% sativa, from Banana Punch crossed with Wonder Pie. 

That indica lean drives a powerful, deeply relaxing effect best suited to the evening. The plant has a tall but productive, resinous structure, with the banana-forward terpenes carrying through. It is a strong, heavy strain rather than a light daytime one, so plan to enjoy it when you can unwind. 

Flowering Time vs Full Grow Time 

Because Kong’s Krush is a photoperiod strain, these two numbers are separate, and mixing them up is the most common planning mistake. 

• Flowering time: 8-9 weeks. This is the bloom stage, which starts only when you switch the lights to 12/12 indoors (or when days shorten outdoors). It is a quick flower. 

• Full grow time (seed to harvest): flowering plus however long you veg. Indoors, a typical grow runs around 4 to 5 months from seed, depending on veg length. 

The practical point: because it grows tall, keep veg shorter indoors to manage height. Outdoors, expect to finish around early to mid October. 

Does Kong’s Krush Need a 12/12 Light Cycle? 

Yes. Kong’s Krush is a photoperiod strain, so indoors it needs a 12/12 light cycle (12 hours on, 12 hours off) to start and maintain flowering. 

Keep it on a long veg schedule, usually 18/6, then flip to 12/12 to trigger the bloom. Because it stretches tall, flip earlier than you might for a compact strain, while it is still well under your height limit. Outdoors, shortening late-summer days trigger flowering naturally. 

Kong’s Krush Grow Timeline, Week by Week 

Treat this as a development pattern, not a fixed schedule, since veg length and the stretch shape the outcome. 

• Weeks 1-2: germination and seedling. The taproot and first true leaves establish. Keep humidity up and feeding minimal. 

• Weeks 3-5: vegetative growth (your choice). The plant builds a tall frame. Top and train early, and keep veg shorter indoors to control height. 

• Week 0 of flower: the flip. Switch to 12/12 well before your height limit. Expect a notable stretch. 

• Weeks 1-3 of flower: stretch and bud set. The tall plant stretches, then flower sites form. 

• Weeks 4-7 of flower: bud development. Resinous buds fill out and the banana-musk aroma develops. 

• Weeks 8-9 of flower: ripening and harvest. Judge by trichomes, not the calendar. 

Choosing Your Setup: Space, Light and Pots 

Kong’s Krush can reach 1.85 m, so indoors it needs headroom, an early flip, and training to stay in bounds. A SCROG net or low stress training helps control the height and spread the resinous colas. 

Give it strong light to back the very high THC and bold terpenes. A full-spectrum LED at 30-40 watts per square foot over the flowering canopy keeps the buds dense. Add a good inline exhaust fan and a carbon filter, since the musky, banana aroma is pungent in flower. 

For pots, 3-5 gallon containers suit most indoor grows, toward the larger end for this taller plant. Fabric pots improve root airflow and help prevent overwatering. 

Germinating and Raising Seedlings 

The paper towel method is the simple, reliable start. Soak the seeds for 12-24 hours, then place them between damp paper towels on a covered plate, kept dark and warm at 70-85°F (21-29°C). A taproot usually appears within two to three days. 

When the taproot reaches about 1-2 cm, plant it root-down a knuckle deep in a light mix and keep the surface moist until the seedling emerges. Hold off on nutrients at this stage. New to growing? Our beginner growing guides cover germination step by step. 

The Vegetative Stage, Topping and Training 

Veg is where you control this tall plant, so train to manage height. Keep it under 18/6 with a nitrogen-rich feed, start topping and training early, and keep veg shorter indoors to keep the final plant in bounds. 

Topping the main stem encourages multiple colas and a wider, flatter canopy, which controls the stretch. Combine it with a SCROG net or low stress training to spread growth and expose more bud sites to light. Finish training before the flip. You can also clone a plant you like before flowering. Its Wonder Pie parent has its own grow guide if you want to explore the lineage. 

Feeding and Watering Kong’s Krush 

Feed to the stage. Use a nitrogen-forward base through veg, then move to a bloom formula higher in phosphorus and potassium once you flip to 12/12 and buds form. A potent, resinous hybrid handles a solid feed, but start moderate and increase based on how the plant responds rather than overfeeding early. 

Water by root-zone moisture, not a timetable, and expect a big plant to drink a fair amount. Let the top inch or two of medium dry between waterings, then water thoroughly until a little drains. Fabric pots and this water-to-weight habit keep the roots healthy. 

Flowering and Knowing When to Harvest 

Once you flip to 12/12, expect a notable stretch, then resinous buds fill out over the 8-9 week bloom. The bold banana, musky, spicy aroma develops and gets pungent, so keep air moving and run a carbon filter indoors. 

Let ripeness, not the calendar, decide the harvest. Check the trichomes under a loupe and cut when most are cloudy with a few turning amber for the fullest, most relaxing effect. After harvest, hang the branches in the dark at about 60°F (15-16°C) and 55-60% humidity for 7-14 days, then cure in sealed jars, burping daily for the first couple of weeks to protect the banana flavor. 

Growing Indoors vs Outdoors 

Indoors, Kong’s Krush needs height control, but rewards it with bold, resinous, flavorful buds. Keep veg short, flip early, train with a SCROG, and give strong light, and it produces a strong harvest, though the profile does not publish an exact indoor figure. 

Outdoors, it is a solid producer, returning around 400 g per plant and usually finishing around early to mid October. Give it full sun, rich well-draining soil, support for the tall colas, and good airflow around the pungent buds. 

How Tall and How Much? Height and Yield 

Height is the main planning factor. Kong’s Krush can reach 1.85 m, so flip early and train with topping and a SCROG net indoors, or give it full room outdoors. 

On yield, the published figure is outdoors, around 400 g per plant. The profile does not list an indoor figure, but a well-lit, trained indoor grow produces a strong, resinous harvest. Strong light and a well-managed canopy are what turn its potential into real weight. 

Best US Climates for Kong’s Krush 

Kong’s Krush does well in a warm, sunny climate with room to grow tall, so growers in California, the Southwest, and the warm South and West can take it to an early-to-mid October finish. Its quick 8-9 week flower also makes it workable in slightly cooler, shorter-season states. 

Its height means indoor growers need headroom and training. In the humid Southeast, keep airflow strong around the dense, resinous buds. For more options, browse our full how-to-grow guide library. 

Common Problems When Growing Kong’s Krush 

A few predictable issues come with a tall, pungent plant. 

Running out of height 

At 1.85 m it stretches hard. Flip to 12/12 while the plant is well under your height limit, keep veg shorter indoors, and train with topping and a SCROG net. 

Underestimating the aroma 

The bold, musky banana smell is strong. Run a carbon filter from early flower, especially in a shared or discreet space. 

Bud rot in dense colas 

The resinous buds can trap moisture. Keep humidity moderate in late flower and air moving through the canopy, especially outdoors in a humid climate. 

Harvesting by the calendar 

The 8-9 week window is a guide, not a cutting date. Read the trichomes and pistils before you cut, since phenotype and environment shift the timing. 

Making the Most of Your Harvest 

Do not waste the trim. The resinous sugar leaves make good bubble hash, dry sift, or infused oil that keeps the bold banana-musk character. The stems, roots, and fan leaves compost well and feed your next grow. 

Is Kong’s Krush Right for You? 

If you want a bold, banana-forward, very high-THC hybrid with a powerful, deeply relaxing effect, yes. Its unique flavor and strength make it a standout evening strain, provided you can manage its height with training. If you want a compact plant or a light daytime effect, look elsewhere.

Frequently Asked Questions 

Is Kong’s Krush indica or sativa? 

Kong’s Krush is indica dominant, listed at 60% indica and 40% sativa, from Banana Punch crossed with Wonder Pie. The effect is powerful and deeply relaxing, best suited to the evening. The plant has a tall but productive, resinous structure, with bold banana-forward terpenes. It is a strong, heavy strain rather than a light daytime one. 

Does Kong’s Krush need a 12/12 light cycle? 

Yes. Kong’s Krush is a photoperiod strain, so indoors it needs a 12/12 light cycle to start and maintain flowering. Keep it on 18/6 during veg, then flip to 12/12 when sized right. Because it grows tall, flip earlier than usual to control height. Outdoors, shortening late-summer days trigger flowering. 

How long does Kong’s Krush take to grow? 

Kong’s Krush flowers in a quick 8 to 9 weeks once you switch to 12/12. Total seed-to-harvest time depends on your veg length, usually around 4 to 5 months indoors, and keeping veg short helps control its height. Outdoors it finishes around early to mid October. Judge the finish by trichome maturity. 

How much does Kong’s Krush yield? 

Outdoors, Kong’s Krush yields around 400 g per plant. The profile does not publish an indoor figure, but a well-lit, trained indoor grow still produces a strong, resinous harvest. Strong light, an early flip, and a trained canopy are what turn its potential into real weight, especially given its tall growth. 

What does Kong’s Krush taste like? 

Kong’s Krush has a bold, creamy banana flavor with musky and spicy notes, drawn from its Banana Punch and Wonder Pie parents. To protect those distinctive terpenes, run a carbon filter in flower, dry slowly at around 60°F with moderate humidity, and cure in sealed jars, burping daily for the first couple of weeks. 

Can you clone Kong’s Krush? 

Yes. As a photoperiod strain, Kong’s Krush clones well. Take a cutting from a healthy plant in veg, root it, and keep it under 18/6 light. Cloning lets you preserve a flavorful plant you like and run repeatable harvests without buying new seeds each time, which autoflowers cannot do. 

How tall does Kong’s Krush get? 

Kong’s Krush can reach around 1.85 m, a tall plant, especially outdoors. Indoors you must flip to 12/12 early, keep veg short, and train with topping and a SCROG net to keep it in bounds. Give it headroom in the tent, or full room outdoors where its height contributes to the yield.
