UK Riot Strain

UK Riot is a gassy indica dominant hybrid strain that comes from the London Jealousy and Joker #31 cross. To get our hands on this strain wasn’t easy, as not a lot of growers were willing to develop this relatively new genetic. Due to the difficulty in the growth process, this strain can be challenging for a novice cultivator. Though when done right, the yield comes out as a premium crop that deserves the top shelf spot in any dispensary.

Strain Effects

Though the exact genetic make up is unknown, experts mostly agree on a 80% to 20% indica to sativa ratio. That said, you can expect some indica heavy effects from UK Riot. The effects start off with a calming physical sensation that travels slowly from head to limb. You’ll start to notice a relaxing feeling all over your body, and get an urge to sink into the nearest couch. Most users feel mild sedation and an intense case of munchies. Due to these effects, UK Riot is a great strain for treating insomnia and appetite loss.

The main terpenes in UK Riot are caryophyllene and limonene. If you’re a gas lover, you’re likely familiar with caryophyllene. This is the terpene that’s behind the diesel fuel nose that so many indica strains have, and it’s definitely a major terpene in most pink gassy genetics. Besides making your bag of bud loud and gassy, caryophyllene actually has some amazing medicinal properties. For instance, studies have shown that caryophyllene has positive effects on symptoms associated with arthritis and joint pain. Limonene is another terpene that’s commonly present in UK Riot. In terms of smell, limonene is associated with the floral and creamy nose. Medicinally, this terpene is known for boosting metabolism, which may be why smoking UK Riot makes you wanna raid the fridge.

Aroma and Appearance

Now besides potency and effects, another major criteria that qualifies any flower as a quad has gotta have exceptional bag appeal. As expected, this batch of UK Riot does not disappoint in this category. The buds have a stunning green shade that are packed with purple resinous trichomes. To top it off, the nose is overpowering with a woody and diesel aroma. If you’re looking for a loud indica strain with top notch bag appeal, then you’ve found your match.
