Turbo Gas is an indica-dominant hybrid from Crop King Seeds, the seed bank that has sold cannabis genetics since 2005. It crosses Northern Lights with Runtz, pairing a 1980s indica classic with a Long Beach cut that won Strain of the Year in 2020.
Crop King sells Turbo Gas as feminized seed, with THC listed at up to 27% and an eight-week flowering window that suits indoor growers.
Northern Lights, the old-school anchor
Northern Lights is a pure indica built from Afghani and Thai genetics. The story places its first plants near Seattle, before it was propagated in Holland after 1985 at the outfit now known as Sensi Seeds. It went on to parent crosses such as Shiva Skunk and Super Silver Haze.
Growers value the line for fast flowering, resin and resilience. Northern Lights finishes in 45–50 days, branches heavily and carries a high calyx-to-leaf ratio. Purple, crystal-coated buds are common. Those traits give Turbo Gas a sturdy indica frame to build on.
Runtz and the Long Beach candy wave
Runtz is a Zkittlez and Gelato cross credited to the Cookies Fam and popularized by the Runtz crew, led by Yung LB out of Long Beach. Leafly named it Strain of the Year in 2020, and it has since spawned at least 20 variations around the world.
The Cookies connection runs deep here, since Gelato sits on one side of the Runtz family. In Turbo Gas, Runtz supplies the modern bag appeal. Crop King frames the finished profile as sour diesel funk layered with sweet candy.
An eight-week plant with big, frosted buds
Crop King lists an 8-week flowering time, about 55 days, with outdoor plants ready in late September. Indoor rooms can yield around 500 g/m², while outdoor plants can reach 600 g each. The breeder rates the grow as moderate in difficulty.
Plants reach medium height and do well indoors or in warm outdoor climates. Buds come in large and dense, with heavy resin that gives them a frosted, premium look. The Northern Lights side tends to push darker tones into the finished flower.
The terpene lineup centers on caryophyllene, limonene and myrcene. Seeds ship in packs of 5, 10 or 25.
A heavy evening hybrid
Turbo Gas leans hard into its indica side. Crop King customers describe an opening wave of euphoria that gives way to heavy body relaxation and full couch-lock, which makes it an evening plant rather than a daytime one.
That arc tracks with the parents. Runtz brings the euphoric, upbeat opening it is known for, while Northern Lights supplies the weight that follows. THC is listed up to 27%, with CBD low.
Crop King's approach to modern hybrids
Crop King Seeds works across classic strains and contemporary hybrids, and Turbo Gas sits squarely between the two. The catalog spans feminized, autoflowering, regular and CBD seeds, plus fast versions for quicker harvests, and ships to growers in the US and Canada.
Turbo Gas shows that approach in one seed: a fast-finishing Northern Lights base, the Runtz family on top, and a feminized pack that lets home growers skip sexing plants.
