Knock Out by Square One Genetics
Unknown
Knock Out! by Square One Genetics is a hybrid cultivar celebrated for its potent, end-of-day relaxation and rich flavor profile. Bred for terpene-forward characteristics and robust genetics, this strain offers a contemporary take on deeply soothing cannabis.
Appearance and Structure
Knock Out! plants typically grow to a medium height with ample branching, responding well to training techniques. They develop dense flower clusters with abundant trichome coverage, especially by the mid-flowering stage. Mature buds are often compact and spear-shaped, featuring a high calyx-to-leaf ratio for easy trimming. Coloration can range from green to darker shades, sometimes showing hints of lavender or plum under cooler temperatures, with abundant, glistening trichomes.
Aroma and Flavor
The aroma of Knock Out! is complex, often starting with spicy, caryophyllene-driven notes layered with earthy and fuel-like undertones. It can also present bright citrus or piney elements from limonene or terpinolene. The flavor profile typically mirrors the aroma, beginning with bright, zesty, or herbal notes on the dry pull, followed by a richer, peppery, and sometimes chocolate-earth base. The exhale may feature faint diesel or sweet berry notes.
Effects
True to its name, Knock Out! is known for inducing significant relaxation and a sense of calm, making it suitable for evening use. It is often described as providing a euphoric experience that gently transitions into a sedating state, potentially leading to a couch-lock sensation for some users. This makes it a popular choice for unwinding after a long day.
Terpenes and Cannabinoids
This strain is noted for its high terpene content, often ranging from 1.5% to 3.0% by dry weight when cultivated skillfully. Key terpenes include Myrcene, Limonene, Caryophyllene, Linalool, Humulene, and Terpinolene, contributing to its complex aroma and flavor. THC levels typically fall within the 20-28% range, with CBD content below 1%.
Growing Characteristics
Knock Out! exhibits hybrid vigor, generally presenting a manageable plant structure suitable for cultivation. It responds well to topping and low-stress training, developing dense flowers. The flowering period is typically around eight to ten weeks. It is noted for high resin density, making it appealing for both flower consumption and extraction.
