Viet Kong

Viet Kong is a sativa dominant hybrid (70% sativa/30% indica) strain with a character all of its own. This well-regarded bud boasts a THC level that ranges from 15-21% on average, with 0.3% CBD. Seeds come in feminized form, and demand from home growers has never really slowed.

The Viet Kong high hits fast and heady — a bright, clear-eyed lift that fuels conversation, ideas and forward momentum, with only a light touch of physical relaxation underneath. Underneath the mental charge, a mellow body calm keeps things comfortable, taking the edge off without ever slowing you down. These combined effects make Viet Kong a frequent pick among patients dealing with mild to moderate depression and chronic fatigue, and a reliable standby for anyone medicating on a schedule.

Viet Kong has a distinctive sweet and coffee flavor that lingers on the tongue long after the exhale, with an aroma to match that grows sharper as the buds are broken apart. The smoke is smooth on the inhale with a coffee finish that builds the longer the session runs. This bud has compact rounded olive green nugs with deep purple undertones, thin orange hairs and a fine dusting of milky white trichomes.

In the garden, Viet Kong is a manageable grow for anyone with a harvest or two behind them, flowering in a standard 9-10 weeks and performing well indoors or outdoors. Given steady feeding and a little light training, it rewards the effort with heavy, resin-coated colas. Plants stretch to a medium height with strong side branching, equally at home in a tent or a garden bed. Its genetics run through the wider Kong family — see Frosty Kong and Golden Kong for close relatives worth comparing before you buy.
