La Katana
La Katana Strain Overview
La Katana is an indica/sativa hybrid strain developed by Elite Seeds, created through crossing Critical Plus with Llimonet Haze. This strain was specifically bred to combine the high yields and quick flowering characteristics of Critical Plus with the citrusy, lemony flavors of Llimonet Haze. The result is a stable genetic line that produces extraordinarily large, dense buds that can grow as thick as a 2-liter bottle and as hard as rocks. The strain's name references the Japanese samurai sword, symbolizing its precision and sharpness in both appearance and effects.
La Katana is notable for its robust structure with numerous side branches and short internodes, making it well-suited for training techniques like SoG or SCRoG. The buds develop a characteristic elongated shape reminiscent of its namesake sword, with a generous coating of resinous trichomes. The strain exhibits vigorous growth patterns and demonstrates strong resistance to common pests and diseases. Growers are often surprised by the massive size of the colas, with some reporting buds as long as an arm. The aroma profile combines intense citrus notes of lemon and lime with distinctive haze characteristics and incense undertones.

La Katana Strain Growing Information
La Katana is considered easy to cultivate with strong resistance to pests and diseases. Indoor flowering time ranges from 8-9 weeks (56-63 days), with plants reaching 1-1.2m in height. Outdoor cultivation results in much larger plants growing 1.8-3m tall when given sufficient space, with harvest time in mid-October in the Northern Hemisphere. The strain produces high yields both indoors and outdoors, with outdoor plants potentially yielding up to 2.5kg when planted in March. It adapts well to various growing conditions and training methods, though support may be needed during flowering due to the weight of the massive buds. The plant develops a large main stem with few side branches and exhibits vigorous growth characteristics.
