Loc-Nar
Also known as: Loc Nar, Locnar
Loc-Nar Strain Overview
Loc-Nar is a relatively rare cannabis strain that has gained a cult following among enthusiasts for its unique characteristics and potent effects. The strain's name references the mythical 'Loc-Nar' from the animated film Heavy Metal, suggesting a powerful, almost mystical quality. While its exact genetic origins are somewhat obscure, it is generally believed to be a carefully selected hybrid, possibly involving genetics from classic indica and sativa lineages. The strain emerged in the early 2010s within certain cannabis communities, particularly in the United States, and is known more through grower networks and boutique cultivators than widespread commercial distribution.
Visually, Loc-Nar buds are typically dense and resinous, often displaying a deep green color with occasional purple hues that can emerge under cooler growing conditions. The flowers are heavily coated in trichomes, giving them a frosty, crystalline appearance. The pistils (hairs) are often a vibrant orange or rust color, creating a striking contrast against the dark foliage. The buds are known for their tight, compact structure, which is characteristic of many indica-dominant hybrids.
Notable features of Loc-Nar include its complex aromatic profile and long-lasting effects. The strain is prized by connoisseurs for its balanced hybrid nature, which provides both cerebral stimulation and physical relaxation. Due to its relative rarity and potent THC content, Loc-Nar is generally recommended for experienced cannabis users. Its limited commercial availability means that most authentic Loc-Nar is found through specialized growers or within specific regional markets, making it somewhat of a 'hunter's strain' in the cannabis community.

Loc-Nar Strain Growing Information
Loc-Nar is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, making it more suitable for growers with some experience. The flowering time typically ranges from 8 to 10 weeks when grown indoors. Outdoor plants are usually ready for harvest in late September to early October in the Northern Hemisphere. The strain tends to produce medium to high yields when properly cultivated, with indoor growers reporting approximately 14-18 ounces per square meter. Outdoor plants can yield 16-20 ounces or more per plant under optimal conditions.
Loc-Nar plants typically reach a medium height, making them suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation. Indoor plants usually stay between 3-4 feet tall, while outdoor plants can reach 5-6 feet. The strain prefers a warm, Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures and good airflow to prevent mold issues due to its dense bud structure. Growers should monitor humidity levels carefully, especially during the final weeks of flowering. Some phenotypes may benefit from low-stress training (LST) techniques to maximize light exposure and improve yields. The plants are generally resilient but can be sensitive to nutrient overload, so a balanced feeding regimen is recommended.
