History & Genetics

MK Ultra is an indica dominant cannabis strain. It is named after Project MK Ultra – the CIA conducted mind-manipulating experiments on civilians and government officials during the 1950s. Even though the name may seem a bit daunting at first, using it will immediately explain the perfect reasoning behind it having this name – MK Ultra is classified as one of the heaviest indica hybrids in existence and induces HIGHLY powerful and hypnotic cerebral effects.

In fact, it is so good that it came in at 1st place in the Indica category at the High Times’ Cannabis Cup in 2003, and 2nd place the year after. This strain has two highly sought-after parents – OG Kush and G-13.

Appearance, Aroma, & Flavor

MK Ultra plants are short, reaching heights of 100 – 120cm. It has sticky, dense, and pungent flowers with tight, resin-coated buds which are extremely sticky and almost white. Its scent is a bit strange – it resembles burnt plastic mixed with lemon and diesel. However, there is nothing strange about its taste – a long-lasting piney, earthy sweet with a hint of mustiness. The smoke of this strain is very smooth.

Growing

MK Ultra was originally grown by T.H. Seeds. Its short stature makes it suitable for indoor growth, but it can be grown outdoors as well. It takes 8-9 weeks to flower and has an above-average yield with 12 ounces of bud per square meter. The plant enjoys either a hydroponic grow system or soil pots. Keep them in a warm and dry environment.

What’s the difference between autoflower seeds and feminized and regular variants?

Significantly, there are three versions of  seeds to choose from, each having different qualities and results. Below, we provide information on these variants to help you select the best option for your garden:

Auto Flower Seeds 

These seeds have been modified with ruderalis genetics, allowing  plants to flower regardless of the light. Since their use, experienced cultivators can grow multiple crops all year and generate yields in half the time.

Feminized Seeds

 Altered genetics give these seeds the ability to germinate 99% female plants. They’re the best option for beginner cultivators or anyone wanting to produce generous harvests.

Regular Seeds

 This version has a 50% chance of developing into germinating female or male crops. Nonetheless males are useful only to breeders, so remove them from your garden before ruining your harvest.
