No reviews yet · be the first to review 3 KingsThe 3 Kings strain is a sativa-leaning three-way hybrid of Headband, Sour Diesel and OG Kush, named for those three parents, and its original breeder is unknown. In this autoflower form it carries ruderalis genes as well, which make each plant start blooming at a set age instead of waiting for longer nights. Expect a sour diesel and pine aroma and an upbeat, clear high. Little has been published about the auto line itself, so some grow figures below are marked as not published.

What is the 3 Kings strain?
3 Kings is a sativa-dominant hybrid (about 70% sativa) made from three West Coast favorites, Headband, Sour Diesel and OG Kush, and this autoflower version adds ruderalis so it flowers without long nights. Leafly and Weedmaps both say the original breeder is unknown. BC Bud Depot, one of the few seed companies that publishes notes on 3 Kings Auto, lists 7 to 9 weeks of flowering and a sour diesel, pine and hash aroma.
Ratio from AllBud and SeedFinder for the photoperiod 3 Kings; the auto's ruderalis share is not published.
3 Kings stacks Headband, Sour Diesel and OG Kush, and because Headband is itself OG Kush × Sour Diesel, the cross leans heavily on those two families.
3 Kings strain specs
Very little is published about 3 Kings Auto. Its background (parents, ratio, THC, effects) comes from Leafly, AllBud, Weedmaps and SeedFinder, which describe the photoperiod 3 Kings, and the autoflower rows come from BC Bud Depot's listing. Nobody publishes a height, yield or seed-to-harvest time for the auto, so those rows say so.

Where does the 3 Kings strain come from?
3 Kings is a three-way cross of Headband, Sour Diesel and OG Kush, and nobody has publicly claimed the original breeding. Leafly and Weedmaps both list the breeder as unknown, and AllBud says the name comes from the three parent strains rather than the 1999 film. SeedFinder's family tree names the specific cuts as SFV OG, the AJ cut of Sour Diesel and a Headband cut called Loompas.
The mix is more closely related than it looks: Headband is usually described as OG Kush × Sour Diesel, so 3 Kings is mostly a concentrated blend of those two families. Some older Leafly reviews give other recipes, such as Trainwreck in place of Headband, which shows how loosely the original clone was documented. The autoflower version crosses 3 Kings with an unnamed ruderalis, and BC Bud Depot sells it as feminized autoflower seeds.
What is known about 3 Kings Auto, and what isn't?
The basics of 3 Kings Auto are documented, but most of its numbers are not. BC Bud Depot gives the genetics, a sativa-dominant type, 7 to 9 weeks of flowering, an outdoor finish in September or early October, and a sour diesel, pine and hash aroma. None of the listings checked for this page publish a tested THC level, height, yield or total seed-to-harvest time for the autoflower version.
Expect some variation. A three-way hybrid crossed with ruderalis can produce 3 Kings plants that differ in height, smell and timing, so grow a few before you judge the strain.
What are 3 Kings' aroma and effects?

How do you grow 3 Kings seeds?
3 Kings autoflower seeds grow without any light-schedule changes: sow them in their final pots, run 18 to 20 hours of light throughout, use soft ties to train them in the first few weeks, and expect about 7 to 9 weeks of flowering once buds appear by themselves.
- GerminateDays 1–7
Start each 3 Kings Auto seed in its final container; an autoflower cannot spare the days that transplant shock costs.
- Early growthWeeks 2–4
Bend the main stem early; the Sour Diesel and OG side of 3 Kings can stretch, and low-stress training keeps the canopy level.
- FlowerAbout 7–9 weeks
Buds start forming unprompted. The diesel smell builds strongly during this stage, so run a carbon filter indoors.
- HarvestWhen trichomes are mostly cloudy
No total seed-to-harvest time is published for 3 Kings Auto, so judge ripeness by trichomes and pistils rather than the calendar.
Grow tips for 3 Kings
- Plan for odor. With Sour Diesel and OG Kush in its background and a diesel-and-hash aroma on the breeder's notes, 3 Kings is worth growing with a carbon filter indoors.
- Bend instead of cutting. Autoflowers have a short vegetative window, so spread 3 Kings' branches with ties rather than making high-stress cuts after the third week.
- Leave headroom for stretch. Sativa-leaning plants often stretch in early bloom, so leave space above the 3 Kings canopy and keep the light at a safe distance.
- Keep the light on long days. 3 Kings Auto blooms without 12 hours of darkness, so a long-day schedule such as 18/6 or 20/4 can stay in place for its whole life.
- Grow a few and take notes. Little grower data exists for 3 Kings Auto, so start several seeds and record which plants finish fastest and smell best.
