This strain was very easy to grow, tolerating higher EC levels (2.5) without signs of burnt leaf tips when other strains in the same setup had nute burn signs.

Branched profusely, possibly a great plant for scroggers.

Buds are very dense and are dusted with a thick coating of very large tricho

I like the K2, it has a wonderful shape and structure.
I get kind of sick of it though, I don't like the taste much, but others do so don't let that stop you from growing this one.

Normal growth rate, but I did see alot of different phenos, stretching from all sides of the family. It had fast side branching, a very strong and healthy plant, and very easy to grow. I found though it couldn't handle light stress though, and a few hermied. Also had high germination rates.

This was my first grow so I'm not completely qualified to judge this strain by the numbers (even though I have).

5 of 6 beans popped, only one was female. The five plants were rootbound I later found out so that might have added to the f/m. After transplanted to 3.5 gallon pots the plants took of

Seedlings started off kinda slow until I transplanted them into bigger pots. Soil mix used was walmart continuous feed formula along with a mix of about 35% perlite under a 150w HPS. Ended up with two nice females, fimmed and switched to 12/12 after 5 1/2 wks. Flowered sorta short due to time restra ...continued

This was my first time growing Nirvana K2 and I must say that it is a fantastic strain. I recieved the seeds as freebies from SeedsDirect and germed 5/5 seeds. Very hardy veg growth and 2/3 phenos grew into squat Indica bushes while the other pheno had a Sativa structure. 3/5 were females and all 3 ...continued

This was my first grow so I made a few mistakes so I think I could definitely have yielded more with some experience.


When my seeds arrived I soaked them in spring water over night and put them in peat pellets when the seeds cracked. I started with 160w fluoro and continued with it through veg (24/7, 45 days). My 1000w HPS finally arrived and I switched to 12/12 immediately. After 3 days into flowering they were tied down to promote undergrowth. They did much better after being tied down and being put under the HPS. I ferted with Shultz all purpose during veg, and Miracle-Gro Rose Food during flowering. I started with 10 plants and ended up with 7 females, from which I harvested 8oz. There was a 100% germ rate on the seeds. The smoke was somewhat heady since I was forced to harvest at 47 days due to my landlord wanting to show my apartment. About 40% of the trichomes were amber when I harvested. I ended up with 2, 1 quart zip-lock bags full of nice trim from which I made Ice-hash and canna-butter. The hash was strong and potent, 2 hits and I was good for 3 hours or so. I would recommend to a first timer since they were very low maintenance. Some words of caution would be to watch for mold in more humid climates because the main colas are very dense. I have also heard they are prone to hermie but luckily, I didn't have that problem. Overall, I would say they were great for the price, and a perfect strain to cut my teeth on.

They were grown in a pre-mixed potting soil blend with perlite added. Their home was a 12 sqft. space in my attic. 160w fluoro for veg and 1000w HPS to flower. I had an A/C to keep temps down and bring in fresh air. There were three fans, one on the plants, one pointed towards the lamp and one on the ballast. The temps fluctuated but stayed around 75-80F.

A plant for the novice grower. I only grew the Nirvana version.

germination rate was good, 2 out of 2, seedlings were healthy but sensitive to hot temps, very wide leaves from the very start, seedlings remained 2 weeks under fluoros, Veg stage came after those 2 weeks, plants were nice, and I go

Started 11 seeds - 9 sprouted, one late comer though. Showed sex by preflowers in week 5/6, found 5 females one of them being the latecomer so I ended up flowering 4 females.

All were topped once during veg and were flowered in 3 gallon buckets with my own organic soil-mix.
They were around 16

I ordered K2 from Nirvana for my first grow one and a half year ago.

I got my ten seeds via mail and planted three of them right away into soil, then added some water and placed under 11w fluoro. All germinated within three days and I kept those babies under that same light their first week.

Well the K2 was one of the 3 strains I grew out this crop, the others were NLxBB and White Rhino and I will also be submitting reviews on those strains.

The K2 simply took over it's grow area in comparison to the other strains, they were over doubble the size of the NLxBB and WR whcih became a sl

As this was our first attempt, we were rather pleasantly surprised... We used a 100w bulb and growing soil from a local garden center. The food we used was Miracle Grow and Super-Thrive. At first we were dubious, using a 250w mercury bulb, which was what us Northeners call 'shan'. So, with some advi ...continued
