MK Ultra strain info:
But unlike that secret government project where the participants never gave their consent to take part in, this cannabis strain is one that enthusiasts actively seek out. In fact, it has won several awards, including Best Indica in 2003 and second place in 2004 at the High Times Cannabis Cup. Two illustrious parents, G-13 and OG Kush, gave birth to this balanced hybrid. G-13 contributes an intense body stone that leaves smokers totally relaxed, while OG Kush produces a mental high that uplifts the mood and leads to euphoria.
This weed’s action is immediately felt after the first hit. A 22% THC content and less than 1% CBD signifies the potency, making is a strain that should be approached with caution. Although it is a balanced hybrid, its Indica-leaning effects make it ideal for a lazy day on the couch when there is nothing urgent on the calendar. Lighting it up will fill the room with an earthy and chemical scent with a dash of sweetness. It will delight the palate with its lingering flavors of creamy, pungent, and sweet.
Cultivating your own MK Ultra plant is a convenient process as it is available in both photoperiod and autoflowering versions. Its uncomplicated needs will grant you the opportunity to smoke its resin-heavy buds in just a few weeks’ time.

MK Ultra Grow Info
Growing an MK Ultra plant is like having a Christmas tree on display inside your home or out in your garden, regardless of the season. It has a bushy structure and does not get taller than 150 cm (5 feet). As it matures, the stunning bright green leaves and buds will develop a thick layer of trichomes, giving it a frosty appearance. An abundance of orange pistils scattered through the nuts makes it even more beautiful.
MK Ultra is an easy-to-grow strain that does not demand too much attention yet offers a generous yield. Being highly resistant to mold and mildew means you can place it anywhere and not worry too much about the possibility of pests and pathogens.
To bump up the yield, growers are advised to employ the Sea of Green (SOG) method. This technique maximizes the number of plants in a small area. However, take care not to overcrowd them so that each one has enough space to flourish. If you want to hasten the growth cycle, consider growing it in water since a hydroponics system delivers nutrients to the roots directly. On the other hand, if you are cultivating cannabis simply for personal consumption and want to enhance the terpene profile, use organic soil as the growing medium.
The right temperature and relative humidity (RH) levels should be looked at when growing indoors. Maintaining them well prevents mold and mildew from invading your crop. These factors vary depending on the plants’ growth stage. To ensure optimum temperature and RH, you should install a hygrometer in your grow room.
- Seedling stage or cloning: 24 to 29 degrees Celsius (75 to 85 degrees Fahrenheit), 70% RH
- Vegetative stage: 21 to 29 degrees Celsius (70 to 85 degrees Fahrenheit), 40% to 60% RH
- Flowering stage: 18 to 27 degrees Celsius (65 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit), 40% to 50% RH
When this strain is grown using the SOG technique and provided with optimal conditions, it can be expected to supply a yield of 340 grams (12 ounces) per square meter after an 8 to 9-week flowering period.
The ideal outdoor setting for MK Ultra means having a continental climate. You will have to determine a spot in your garden that receives ample sunlight. In such a location, it can thrive on its own and reach a height of 100 to 150 cm (3 to 5 feet). You should be able to harvest 170 grams (6 ounces) of usable bud per plant in late September or early October.
Most home growers choose feminized seeds because they are more straightforward to propagate. Regular seeds present an equal chance of getting female and male plants, so they will cross-pollinate unless separated. Should you wish to experiment with breeding your own strain, you may keep the males in another room.
MK Ultra also comes in an autoflowering version, making it even easier for newbies to try their green thumbs on this strain. For one thing, the strict grow light schedule of photoperiods is not necessary. Even if your plant receives 24 hours of light per day, it will still automatically blossom in 9 weeks.
Another advantageous feature is the chance to have an all-year harvest by planning your growing schedule. Due to this variant’s extremely short life cycle, you can plant it anytime to want as long as you finish harvesting the buds by October before winter starts (for outdoor cultivation).
This auto only grows a maximum of 100 to 125 cm (3 to 4 feet), so you can use the SOG method. It will delight you with a yield of 350 to 450 grams (12 to 16 ounces) per square meter – as much as the photoperiod strain but much quicker.
For gardeners who love the great outdoors, good news: this variant has Ruderalis genes that make it more resistant to bugs and diseases and help it to survive in harsh climates. Nonetheless, allowing it to bask inadequate sunshine will ensure a decent yield of 100 to 150 grams (4 to 5 ounces) per plant.
