About MK Ultra
Aptly named after the CIA’s mind-manipulating experiments during the 1950s, the MK Ultra strain is here to, straight and simple, blow your friggin’ mind. Although the name may sound a little daunting at first, we promise this liberating strain has nothing to do with the US government— or any other, for that matter.
A child star from legendary strains OG Kush and G-13, also known as MK Ultra OG or MKU, MK Ultra ranks among the heaviest indica hybrids in existence, inducing an extremely powerful high and deeply hypnotic cerebral effects. It’s such a fan-favorite, in fact, that it won 1st place in the Indica category at the High Times’ Cannabis Cup in 2003, and ranked 2nd place the following year.
So, in other words, if we’re talking heavyweight champions, MK Ultra is the conversation.
MK Ultra Strain Effects
Considered one of the strongest indicas in the world, MK Ultra’s hypnotic cerebral effects hit almost instantly upon inhaling. You’ll feel your eyelids begin to droop heavily, and before you know it, you’ll be locked into your couch, melting away in mind, body, and spirit as a euphoric sense of giddiness rushes through your body. The only valid reason you’ll find to make your way out of the warm coziness of a blanket will be potato chips by the handful.
Obviously, MK Ultra isn't the strain to use right before a big meeting or while out jogging. Instead, it’s an evening— or lazy day off— kind of vibe. This stress melter will have your mind flying off to cloud nine, but your butt will stay put on the couch, or any other soft surface, to be honest.
MK Ultra’s most common effects have been described as making users feel:
- Sleepy
- Relaxed
- Hungry
- Euphoria
- Happy
Like most other cannabis strains, MK Ultra does have the potential to cause some mild discomforts, including dry eyes and dry mouth, as well as dizziness. Although anxiety and paranoia are not commonly reported, this strain is pretty strong, so users—especially novices with a lower THC tolerance— should tread and dose lightly.
MK Ultra Strain Benefits
As a mind-blowing indica, MK Ultra is popular among both recreational and medicinal cannabis circles. While recreational users love its hypnotic, trippy properties, medical cannabis users find the strain helpful for soothing a plethora of ailments.
Perhaps its most obvious use, MK Ultra is a tremendous way to battle insomnia. Even night owls seemingly unable to get a moment of shuteye before the sun rises find this strain to be particularly effective. Additionally, as a powerful stress reliever, MK Ultra has some benefits that can help temporarily inhibit symptoms of chronic stress and anxiety.
Because it numbs the body and creates a sense of deep comfort and relaxation, MK Ultra is also successful at combatting pain, chronic or otherwise, including muscle spasms, migraines, and back pain. And obviously, a strain that induces the munchies can be a lifesaver for those struggling with a lack of appetite, whether from chemo, eating disorders, or anything else!
In summary, MK Ultra can help with the following:
- Stress
- Anxiety
- Pain
- Insomnia
- Nausea
- Lack of appetite
MK Ultra Strain Flavor - The Genetics & Terpenes
MK Ultra plants tend to be short, usually reaching heights between 40 and 50 inches. It has sticky, dense flowers with tight resin-bathed buds that are stickier than glue and white.
Its scent is a bit weird— it kind of resembles burn plastic mixed with diesel and lemon. Those looking to use cannabis discreetly should remain aware of the strong aroma. The taste, however, isn't strange at all. A sweet, earthy, and piney flavor will envelop your mouth, and it’s a remarkably smooth strain to smoke.
The strong aroma, flavor, and effects of MK Ultra can be attributed to the strain’s terpene content. These natural compounds are present in various plant species, bestowing upon them their distinct fragrances, flavors, and effects.
However, in the realm of cannabis, they assume a particularly remarkable role known as the entourage effect. This inherent phenomenon takes place when cannabinoids, terpenes, and assorted compounds collaboratively engage, enhancing and enriching each other's positive outcomes.
MK Ultra’s main terpenes include:
- Myrcene
- Caryophyllene
- Limonene
- Pinene
- Carene
- Humulene
- Camphene
- Linalool
- Terpinolene
But those terpenes aren't the only reason MK Ultra is so popularly strong. Its THC content of 18.5-20.25% makes it a relatively strong strain of cannabis, perfect for lounging and resting. Other cannabinoids, however, have to do with the strain’s pain relief and stress reducing potential:

CBD |
0.52 - 0.7% |
|
CBC |
0.27 - 0.79% |
|
CBG |
0.18 - 0.96% |
|
CBN |
0.04 - 0.2% |
|
THCV |
0.26 - 0.98% |

Information Regarding Growing MK Ultra
MK Ultra is ideal to grow indoors, as it does well in soil and hydroponic environments. If you want to grow it outdoors, however, be sure to keep it away from the frost and in a Mediterranean-like climate. The plant isn't too troublesome— it’s resistant to mildew and doesn't require any special conditions.
Indoors growers can expect a yield of about 12 ounces of bud per square meter, ready for harvest after around 8 to 9 weeks. Outdoors, MK Ultra can yield about 6 ounces of bud per plant, and should be ready for harvest around late September to early October.
