King Louis XIII
indicavery-strongidentity: medium
King Louis XIII (or King Louie) is a heavyweight OG — an OG Kush × LA Confidential cross that's all pine and fuel with a dark, resinous depth.
Did you try it?
The Story
“Sharp pine and gas over a damp, earthy forest floor, one of the loudest pine-OG profiles around.”
The nose is intense and classic: sharp pine and gas over a damp, earthy forest floor, one of the loudest pine-OG profiles around. The effect is a fast, heavy indica — a sedating body weight that drops you into the couch and on toward sleep, firmly nighttime.
It's potent and not subtle, so it's a poor daytime choice and an easy one to overdo. For pine-gas lovers who want OG at its most sedating, King Louis is a benchmark.
