The UK Riot strain is a powerhouse creation from the renowned breeders at Compound Genetics. This unique hybrid brings together the best of the London Jealousy and the iconic Jokerz #31, two top-tier cannabis strains known for their exceptional flavor and potency.

With vibrant green and purple flowers covered in a thick layer of resin, UK Riot stands out for its striking appearance. Each phenotype delivers something a little different, but you can always expect those delicious gassy notes, and depending on the cut, you might get a hint of sweet citrus or even a candy-like flavor reminiscent of Runtz. This strain doesn’t just look good; it has that insane bag appeal that growers and smokers alike crave.

Flowering Time & Yield

UK Riot takes around 8 to 9 weeks to fully flower, making it a great choice for both indoor and outdoor grows. With proper care, growers can expect a medium to high yield from this strain, making it as productive as it is potent. Indoors, UK Riot produces up to 650 grams per square meter, while outdoors it can yield as much as 1200 grams per plant. This is a strain that’s generous in both flavor and production, making it a favorite for cultivators looking to get the most out of their grow.

UK Riot cannabis seeds thrive in a variety of environments, making them a versatile option for growers with different setups. Whether you’re growing indoors under lights or taking advantage of the natural sunlight outdoors, UK Riot delivers impressive results with its sturdy, resin-packed buds.

Effects and Aroma

Smoking UK Riot is like stepping into a candy shop with a gas station next door. The complex flavor profile is a whirlwind of sweet citrus, gelato creaminess, and a strong hit of fuel that keeps you coming back for more. Some phenotypes lean more into the candy notes from Jokerz, while others let the bright citrus tones of London Jealousy shine through.

With a THC content ranging between 23% and 27%, this is not a strain for the faint of heart. Expect a powerful high that hits hard and fast, offering a perfect blend of cerebral euphoria and body relaxation. It’s the kind of strain that can help you unwind after a long day, while still keeping your mind engaged and creative.

Growing Tips & Our Opinion

When it comes to growing the UK Riot strain, we’ve found it to be a resilient plant that stands up well to common pests and diseases. Thanks to its strong genetic background, this strain can handle a bit of stress, making it suitable for growers who might not have years of experience under their belt. However, it still rewards the more experienced cultivator with bigger yields and better bud quality when dialed in just right.

UK Riot performs best in a warm, sunny climate if you're growing outdoors, but it also flourishes in indoor setups where you can control temperature and humidity. Keeping temperatures moderate during the flowering stage will help bring out those beautiful purple hues in the buds, adding to its visual appeal. We recommend keeping humidity levels in check, especially late in the flowering cycle, to prevent any mold issues given the density of its resin-coated flowers.

In terms of difficulty, we’d place UK Riot somewhere in the middle. It’s not overly complicated to grow, but maximizing its potential does require a bit of attention to detail, particularly when it comes to nutrient feeding and pest control. If you're up for the challenge, though, the rewards are more than worth it. What really stands out to us about UK Riot is its bag appeal—those dense, frosty buds with streaks of purple and the sheer amount of resin make it a showstopper in any stash.
