From the RKS Breeding Floor

The Cold War Kush stabilization program at RKS focuses on three traits: resin density, structural compactness, and cold tolerance. The phenotype documented here was selected across three cycles and twelve mothers per cycle, with only the plants meeting all three criteria carried forward. The data on this Certificate reflects the upper-percentile expression you can expect when these seeds are grown under our breeding-room SOPs — a benchmark, not a guarantee. The line traces to a Purple Punch × Bubba Kush cross, with each generation selected to fix the traits that define Cold War Kush.

Breeding Objective · CWK-Pheno #6
  • Stabilize potency floor at the lower bound of the THC band
  • Tighten cohort variation to ≤ 12% on total cannabinoids
  • Preserve aromatic identity across generations
  • Maintain trichome density ≥ 28% across cohort

Phenotype Consistency & Stabilization Line

RKS internal selection criteria · not tested by lab

Phenotype Consistency

The values reported on this Certificate reflect the top-performing phenotype(CWK-Pheno #6) selected from a 14-plant cohort of the RKS Cold War Kush S1 line. Across three production cycles, individual plants from this seed line have fallen within a 10–15% variation envelope on total cannabinoids and total terpene yield when grown under comparable indoor conditions.

Cohort variation (n=14)Reference pheno = THC 21.4%
18.6% (low)23.3% (high)

Note: phenotype expression is subject to environmental conditions (light, nutrients, VPD, training). These figures are not a guarantee of grow outcome.

Stabilization Status

S1 FEMINISIERT

This line has been stabilized through successive inbred generations with phenotype-driven selection. Trait-locking criteria for the CWK-Pheno #6 selection:

  • Earth-forward terpene expression
  • Trichome coverage ≥ 30%
  • Stable purple/dark coloration where genotype carries it
  • Mid-canopy bud uniformity
  • Mold resistance under high RH
  • Cohort variance ≤ 7 days

♛ RKS Genetics Authority Statement

The genetic line analyzed in this Certificate was bred, selected, and stabilized by the Royal King Seeds Breeding Team at our in-house breeding facility. This batch was independently verified by SC LABS under chain-of-custody protocol CAN-COC-860. The data herein is published as a reference benchmarkfor the RKS Cold War Kush stabilized line — a documented standard against which every seed in this lot has been bred to perform.

Disclaimer of variation · Results published in this Certificate represent a selected phenotype of the RKS Cold War Kush S1 stabilized line under controlled indoor conditions. Individual seedlings may produce plants that vary by approximately 10–15% on total cannabinoids and terpene output, and may express alternate phenotypes within the line. Final cannabinoid and terpene expression is subject to cultivator inputs — lighting, substrate, nutrient regime, environment, and training technique. This document is intended as a reference benchmark of the genetic potential of the RKS Cold War Kushline, not as a guarantee of any individual plant’s outcome.

Note for seed buyers · This Certificate analyzes mature, cured flower from a selected reference plant cultivated by the RKS breeding team under controlled conditions. Seed-grown plants may vary slightly from the tested phenotype depending on environment, nutrient regime, and grower input. For best expression of the CWK-Pheno #6profile, follow the cultivation reference outlined in the “Expected Grow Outcomes” section above.
