Special K

Special K Strain

Genetically, Special K is an evenly balanced hybrid. However, in most phenotypes, its Sativa genes dominate. Because of its high THC content, this strain is not a recommendable choice for first-time users, as it can feel overwhelming for those with low tolerance levels. Despite this, Special K has the reputation for being an adventuresome strain, which makes it a great choice for enjoying the outdoors.

These buds are bright green in color. Near harvest time, it starts to develop orange hairs that just get brighter as harvest approaches. There are copious amounts of crystallized trichomes on its buds and leaves, and effects of Special K are fast hitting, long lasting, and very deliberate. It’s Indica genes cause some mental fogginess, making it best to use this strain cautiously with tools and machines nearby.

Why Patients Use Special K?

The effects of consuming Special K are euphoric, which explains why patients use it so frequently. This mood uplifting, creative, and energetic strain is ideal for daytime use, but because of its extreme potency, too much can have the opposite effect and lead to sleepiness and couchlock instead. Patients typically take more to help them sleep and less to get them through the trials of the day.
