Also known as: MK Ultra
MK-Ultra Strain Overview
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.

MK-Ultra Strain Growing Information
MK-Ultra is considered a strain of moderate difficulty to cultivate. It is suitable for both indoor and outdoor growing, though it thrives in a controlled indoor environment. The plant tends to be of medium height with a bushy, indica-dominant structure. It has a flowering time of approximately 8 to 9 weeks indoors. Outdoor harvest in the Northern Hemisphere typically occurs in late September to early October. Yields are generally average to above average. Growers should monitor for common pests and mold, as the dense buds can be susceptible to botrytis (bud rot) in humid conditions. It responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training (LST) to manage height and improve light penetration.
