Also known as: Jap.Hop
What is the Legitimo strain?
Legitimo is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and berry and earthy flavor profile.
Legitimo is a unique and controversial cannabis strain created by KalySeeds, representing what breeders claim to be a hybrid between Purple Star and Japanese Hop (Humulus Japonicus). Developed in 1998, this strain has generated significant debate in the cannabis community regarding the feasibility of crossing cannabis with hops, as Japanese Hop contains no cannabinoids like THC or CBD. The strain displays predominantly indica characteristics with an estimated genetic makeup of 80-85% indica. KalySeeds has maintained that this strain is the ancestor of all their PAC (Pseudo Arce Cannabis) varieties, which exhibit unusual leaf formations ranging from webbed leaves to single-leaf mutations. Despite the controversial lineage claims, cultivated examples of Legitimo have shown consistent indica-dominant growth patterns and have developed a reputation for producing dense, resinous buds with striking visual appeal. The strain underwent extensive phenotype selection and stability testing, with breeding logs indicating exceptional germination rates of 95% and phenotype consistency of 88%.
