Dosing

Given this strain has a relatively high THC content, it is recommended to start with a low dose and slowly increase the dose each day to find the ideal level of relief. It is important to note that everyone processes cannabis differently, and starting with low doses is the best way to find your ideal dose slowly.

Growing

It is best to grow this strain in a consistent indoor environment, as outdoor garden mold often takes over the plants due to their size. 4 Kings plants will need some branch support because of this. 4 Kings is a fat plant that is quite pungent and loves to grow in a humid environment.
