UK Psychosis
Also known as: Psychosis, Psycho, UK Psycho
UK Psychosis Strain Overview
UK Psychosis is a legendary cannabis strain that originated in the United Kingdom during the 1990s. The exact genetic lineage remains somewhat mysterious, though it is widely believed to be a cross between a Skunk #1 phenotype and an unknown indica variety, possibly an Afghani landrace. The strain gained cult status in the UK cannabis scene for its potent effects and distinctive characteristics, becoming a staple among experienced users and breeders alike. Its name references the intense psychoactive experience it can produce, particularly in higher doses.
The strain typically produces dense, resinous buds with a complex appearance. Coloration ranges from deep forest green to purple hues, often accented by vibrant orange pistils and a thick coating of milky-white trichomes. The buds are usually compact and tightly packed, reflecting its indica-dominant heritage. UK Psychosis is known for its pungent aroma that combines earthy, skunky notes with subtle sweet and diesel undertones, creating a distinctive scent profile that experienced users often recognize immediately.
Notable features include its reputation for delivering a powerful, long-lasting high that begins with cerebral stimulation before transitioning into deep physical relaxation. The strain has maintained popularity despite the proliferation of newer hybrids, largely due to its consistent potency and unique terpene profile. While not as commercially widespread as some modern strains, UK Psychosis remains highly sought after by connoisseurs and continues to influence breeding projects, particularly in European cannabis circles.

UK Psychosis Strain Growing Information
UK Psychosis is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate. It has a flowering time of approximately 8-10 weeks when grown indoors, with outdoor harvests typically ready in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. The plants tend to be medium to tall in height, often reaching 150-200 cm outdoors, and require some height management indoors. Yields are generally good to high with proper care, producing 400-600 grams per square meter indoors. The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment but can be grown outdoors in temperate climates with adequate sunlight. Growers should monitor humidity levels carefully during flowering to prevent mold, as the dense buds are susceptible to fungal issues. The plants respond well to training techniques like topping and LST (low-stress training) to maximize yields and manage height.
