100 K
Gelato × Wedding Cake × Kush
100 K is a hybrid cultivar that emerged on the West Coast in the late 2010s and early 2020s. It is recognized for its visually appealing, dense buds and a profile that often blends sweet, dessert-like notes with subtle fuel undertones. The name itself is a marketing term suggesting premium quality and potency.
Appearance
100 K typically presents with dense, medium-sized flowers that are heavily coated in trichomes, giving them a frosted appearance. Bud coloration can range from lime to deep green, sometimes featuring violet or lavender hues, contrasted by bright orange pistils. The calyx-to-leaf ratio is generally favorable, resulting in well-formed buds that are dense but not overly hard.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma of 100 K is often described as a combination of sweet confectionary notes, such as vanilla and cake, layered with hints of citrus zest and a grounding undertone of pepper or soft fuel. Upon grinding, deeper complexities may emerge, including creaminess and spice. Flavors can mirror the aroma, presenting a blend of candy, citrus, cream, and earthy or minty notes.
Effects
As a hybrid, 100 K is generally expected to provide a balanced effect. While specific effects can vary due to phenotype, it is often associated with a pleasant hybrid experience. Consumers should consult lab results for the most accurate understanding of its cannabinoid profile and potential effects.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
The terpene profile of 100 K commonly features Myrcene, Limonene, and Caryophyllene, contributing to its characteristic sweet, citrus, and peppery aroma. THC levels typically range from 15% to 25%, with CBD content below 1%. Other terpenes like Ocimene may also be present in varying amounts depending on the specific phenotype.
Origins & Lineage
100 K is considered a modern hybrid cultivar with a decentralized origin, meaning it is not tied to a single breeder. Its lineage is often inferred from its sensory profile and common terpene combinations, suggesting a cross between dessert-forward strains like Gelato or Wedding Cake and a Kush or fuel-dominant line. It functions more as a branded chemovar family adopted by various growers rather than a standardized genetic.
Cultivation
Plants typically exhibit medium vigor with moderate internode spacing, making them adaptable to various training techniques. Flowering time is estimated to be around 56-70 days. Resin production is often noted as above average, contributing to the cultivar's desirable bag appeal and trichome density.
