TKO'd
Also known as: TKO, TKO OG, Total Knock Out
TKO'd Strain Overview
TKO'd is a potent indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain that has gained recognition for its powerful sedative effects and distinctive flavor profile. The strain's name reflects its reputation for delivering a 'total knock out' experience, making it particularly popular among users seeking strong relaxation and sleep aid. While its exact origins are somewhat debated within cannabis communities, most sources indicate TKO'd emerged from California's medical cannabis scene in the early 2010s, where it was developed by crossing classic indica genetics to enhance potency and therapeutic potential.
The strain typically produces dense, resinous buds with a complex visual appearance. Flowers are usually medium to large in size, displaying a deep forest green coloration with occasional purple hues that become more pronounced under cooler growing conditions. The buds are heavily coated in milky-white trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance, and feature vibrant orange pistils that provide visual contrast. The dense structure and heavy resin production make TKO'd particularly suitable for extraction purposes, including the production of concentrates and hash.
Notable characteristics of TKO'd include its exceptionally high THC content, which frequently exceeds 25%, placing it among the more potent strains available. This potency is balanced by a complex terpene profile that contributes to both its effects and aroma. The strain has maintained consistent popularity in both medical and recreational markets due to its reliable effects and distinctive sensory profile, though its extreme potency makes it more suitable for experienced cannabis consumers than beginners.

TKO'd Strain Growing Information
TKO'd is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, requiring some experience to achieve optimal results. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are generally good, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant under ideal conditions.
The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also be grown outdoors in Mediterranean-like climates with consistent temperatures. Plants tend to remain relatively compact, reaching heights of 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining stable humidity levels (40-50% during flowering) to prevent mold in the dense buds, providing adequate support for heavy colas, and implementing proper nutrient management as the plants are heavy feeders during vegetative growth. Some phenotypes may benefit from cooler nighttime temperatures during late flowering to enhance purple coloration.
