Strain: Lucy (Luca Brasi x LA Confidential)
Recommended experience level: Beginner to intermediate
Female: Luca Brasi (Corleone OG x Pre-98 Bubba Kush)
About the mother:
Overview:
- The Luca Brasi has perhaps the highest quality buds found in any high CBD strain. Most high CBD strains are very low in THC, and the nuggets look closer to what you’d find in a bag a schwag than in a connoisseur’s medicine cabinet, but not the Luca. She regularly tests at 15-18% THC and 8-12% CBD, and has beautiful trichome covered nuggets galore. The smoke is sweet and earthy, and has very strong anti-inflammatory effect. A true medicinal strain.
Yield: low
- 250-500g/ 1000W
Flowering time:
- 49-56 days
Growth stature: Short
- Very short internodal spacing and dinner plate sized fan leaves. Be sure to remove the uppermost fan leaves to let light penetrate the canopy. She does best in a single stalk Sea of Green style, but versatile enough to handle topping if you can be patient during the vegetative stage and allow it to get a bit larger.
Nugget type and density:
- Dense golf ball sized nuggets
Unique strain traits and oddities of mother:
- High CBD levels along with high THC levels
- 3/2 THC to CBD ratio
- Biggest fan leaves you’ll find on any strain
Why we chose her:
- Medicinal value was the main reason we chose the Luca Brasi to pair with the LA Confidential. While you’re not going to pulling down monstrous bumper crops of the Lucy, that was never the intent. We are pairing 2 of the most proven medicinal strains known to mankind, and making a high CBD strain of the finest quality available to the public.
