L.A.K.
Also known as: LAK, LA Kush, Los Angeles Kush
L.A.K. Strain Overview
L.A.K., also known as LA Kush or Los Angeles Kush, is a hybrid cannabis strain that has gained popularity in the West Coast cannabis scene, particularly in the Los Angeles area where it originated. The strain represents a modern interpretation of classic Kush genetics, bred specifically for the California market. While its exact genetic origins are somewhat debated among cultivators, it is generally accepted as a phenotype selection from the broader Kush family that has been stabilized and refined by West Coast breeders.
The strain is characterized by dense, resinous buds that typically display a forest green coloration with occasional purple hues when exposed to cooler temperatures during cultivation. The flowers are often heavily coated in trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance that hints at their potency. L.A.K. typically produces a complex aromatic profile that combines earthy, pine, and citrus notes, with some phenotypes exhibiting subtle diesel undertones. The strain has become particularly noted for its balanced effects and reliable performance in cultivation.
L.A.K. has established itself as a staple in many California dispensaries and has gained recognition in cannabis competitions on the West Coast. While not as historically significant as some classic Kush varieties, it represents the ongoing evolution of cannabis breeding in response to specific regional preferences and growing conditions. The strain's popularity has led to some variation in phenotypes circulating under the L.A.K. name, though most maintain the core characteristics that made the original selections notable.

L.A.K. Strain Growing Information
L.A.K. is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors and are ready for harvest by mid to late October outdoors. Indoor yields are generally good, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain prefers a Mediterranean climate when grown outdoors and responds well to both soil and hydroponic systems indoors. Plants tend to be medium in height with a bushy structure that benefits from pruning and training techniques like topping and low-stress training. L.A.K. is resistant to most common molds and pests but requires good air circulation due to its dense bud structure. The strain responds well to organic nutrients and produces its best terpene profile when not overfed.
