K1

K1 is a hybrid selection from the Durban Poison line. Known for pungent, pine, chemical aromatics.

K1 is a hybrid selection bred out of the Durban Poison genetic family. State lab records track K1 across 3 legal markets between 2015 and 2022, with a large share of tested flower batches originating from a single regional cultivator. Photoperiod cuts typically finish flowering in 8–10 weeks (~56–70 days) under indoor or greenhouse lighting.

Aroma and flavor

Jars of K1 are most often described as showing sharp, pungent ammonia, crisp conifer pine, gassy, solvent-like fuel and aromatic sage and herbs. Chemotype data points to earthy, herbal myrcene, woody, hop-like humulene and peppery beta-caryophyllene as the primary aromatic drivers, with batch-to-batch variation depending on cultivation and curing.

Reported effects

Consumers commonly report an active, energetic lift, clear-headed task focus and an upbeat, cheerful mood, making K1 a frequent pick for daytime sessions, creative work, or social settings. The most commonly noted downsides are dry mouth and dry eyes.
