Very much not for me. Had it in concentrate and as bud, and it gives me a pretty intense mental anxiety and some  noticeably bad moods. Jealous of people it hits the intended effects for, since that seems ideal.

It alllllmost gets the job done. Almost. But it's Gucci for what it is. Still good

Loose little buds that did not taste nor smell very appetizing. Good for mixing up in salads with other more tasty strains. For a hybrid the buzz was decent with both a strong pull towards the head and also body.  This can feel strangulating if these feelings overlap which is often why I deter from hybrids.  This was not the case with Special K at all, but instead a balanced back &amp; forth between.  Good for light pain relief without being super giggly or anxious.

Had "Organic" Special K and not sure what the real difference was. Anyway, copy and paste from a different source: "It features a smell that is both spicy and citrus. It offers a citrus taste that is very enjoyable. This is a hybrid of Northern Lights and Afghani. It is potent with THC around 23% and it isn’t recommended for first time users of cannabis. Special K is bright green in color. As the time comes near for harvesting, orange hairs will emerge. They will become brighter and brighter in the days leading up to the harvest. The leaves offer a very generous amount of crystals. The high from Special K is deliberate and long lasting. It can result in couch lock and it is hard to get much done mentally. It is best to use this strain when you will be at home and you don’t need to get much else done. It can help with reducing stress and anxiety.1" Quite truthfully, this strain is beyond excellent and deserves every single star.

Look: 5/5 (beautifully bright green)
Scent: 5/5 (lots of citrus)
High: 5/5 (hard to describe, great balance of indica-sativa)
Burnout: 5/5
Overall: 5/5 (deserves it!)

I smoked a full Indica version of this strain and found it amazingly sedating.  I have insomnia and found this really helped me get to sleep.  It has a sweet earthy flavour and a beautiful green bud with yellow hues throughout.  This is another one of my favourites grown by East Van Boutiques.

good buzz and tastes great with grape freezies

This one is pretty good for a positive and energetic day. Don't knock it till you try it!

Love this strain, one of my morning go to's.  A little heavy but for an experienced smoker it makes for a wonderful productive morning.

<p>Special K is a <a href="/hybrid">hybrid</a> cross between <a href="/sativa">sativa</a> Western Winds and <a href="/indica">indica</a> Slyder. The plant is tall with substantial girth,&nbsp;despite its lanky indica influence, with elongated buds.&nbsp;The effects are long-lasting with a quick onset, beginning with a&nbsp;physical buzz and&nbsp;evolving into a heady lift that borders on psychedelic. Special K has been called adventureful, making it a wonderful daytime strain. Indoor or outdoor grows can expect to flower at around 10 weeks.</p>

<p>Sometimes strains are bred by chance, offering us a delectable surprise we grow to cherish. Other times, they&#039;re&nbsp;bred with a purpose, perhaps to compose a dynamic and new flavor profile or provide specialized&nbsp;effects tailored to&nbsp;specific conditions. These five strains each offer a distinct benefit, whether that be physical and cerebral effect balance, unique aroma, or as is the case with Strawberry Satori, targeted effects to <strong><a href="http://www.leafly.com/knowledge-center/medical-resources/cannabis-and-post-traumatic-stress-disorder-ptsd">offer relief to PTSD patients</a></strong>. Here&#039;s to increased specialization of strains and appreciating the intricacies of them all! Enjoy.</p>

New Strains Alert: Green Dragon, Purple Maui, Sour Bubble, Special K, and Strawberry Satori

Wonderful high. It was very uplifting and left me feeling energetic, but not jittery. Would definitely recommend. 

This is a very nice, earthy strain. The smell is identical to lemongrass, with herbal overtones. The effects are very energetic and happy sensations. It is not too head strong and very easy-going.

A beauitiful flower! High's amazing and gives you a ton of energy. 

Head buzz is superior, real nice and mellow!!
