What is the Y2K strain?

Y2K is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 34.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and berry and creamy flavor profile.

Y2K is a 2022 cannabis strain from top flower brand Alien Labs that celebrates the year 2000-era purple strains of the Bay Area, California. To make Y2K, Alien Labs found a superb Purple Urkle S1 from breeder CSI Humboldt, and crossed it to Alien Labs' Planet Dosi. Alien Labs selected exclusively for the artificial grape terpene and indica-style power. The artificial grape smell is strong with this one, and so are the effects. Pure couch lock sedation with terps, what more could you ask for? The strain is a direct descendant of Purple Urkle S1 and Planet Dosi, inheriting the best traits from both parents. With THC levels ranging impressively from 30% to 34%, the Y2K strain stands out in the cannabis market for its high potency.

The hybrid's effects are characterized by a happy focus and mental clarity that gradually shifts to a sedative body stone. You'll feel a sense of happy focus hit you first with this bud, slamming into your forehead and between the eyes with a laser-sharp clarity. But don't count on it lasting too long – this focus will soon drop off and leave you totally mentally stoned. A sedative body stone rounds out the high, settling into your physical form and leaving you totally immovable before you finally fall asleep. Y2K buds have dense heart-shaped emerald-green nugs with deep purple undertones, thin orange hairs and tiny white crystal trichomes. The strain has gained recognition as one of Leafly's Strains of Summer 2022 and represents a successful recreation of classic Bay Area purple genetics with modern breeding techniques.
