MK-Ultra
Also known as: MK Ultra
What is the MK-Ultra strain?
MK-Ultra is a indica cannabis strain with up to 25.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and citrus and earthy flavor profile.
MK-Ultra is a potent indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain named after the infamous CIA mind-control program of the 1950s and 1960s, a reference to its powerful, overwhelming effects. It was developed by TH Seeds, a Dutch seed company, and is a cross between the classic indica G13 and the sativa-dominant hybrid OG Kush. This lineage combines G13's legendary potency and resin production with OG Kush's complex aroma and balanced effects, resulting in a strain that has garnered a strong reputation among experienced users.
The strain is characterized by dense, chunky buds that are typically dark green with vibrant orange pistils and a thick coating of frosty trichomes. The aroma is complex and pungent, often described as a blend of earthy, pine, and hash-like notes with subtle hints of citrus and spice. The flavor profile follows suit, delivering a smooth, earthy smoke with undertones of pine and a slightly sweet, hashy finish. MK-Ultra is known for its fast-acting, heavy-bodied effects that are deeply relaxing and sedative.
MK-Ultra is considered a high-THC strain, with levels frequently testing above 20%, and it is typically very low in CBD. Its effects are predominantly physical, leading to a strong sense of couch-lock and tranquility, making it a popular choice for evening or nighttime use. Due to its potency, it is often recommended for experienced consumers, and novice users are advised to start with low doses. The strain has received recognition in the cannabis community, including awards from the High Times Cannabis Cup.
