What is the Los Altos strain?

Los Altos is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 26.0% THC, known for its euphoric effects and citrus and diesel flavor profile.

Los Altos is an evenly balanced hybrid strain (50% indica/50% sativa) created through crossing the potent Breathworks and Yellow Benches strains. Developed by Rare Terps, this relatively rare and hard-to-find strain has gained recognition for its unique combination of genetics that produce both cerebral and physical effects. The strain features dense, popcorn-shaped bright neon green nugs with yellow-orange pistil hairs and a thick coating of chunky white crystal trichomes, giving the buds a frosted, almost Moon Rock-like appearance. The breeding lineage specifically involves a Breathworks male crossed with a Yellow Benches female, resulting in a balanced hybrid that showcases the hardy genetics of both parent strains.

The strain is known for its complex aroma profile that combines earthy sweetness with fuel-like notes. The scent features diesel undertones accented by woody pine and sharply tangy lemon, while some phenotypes display rare notes of fruit and earthy leather undertones. The flavor profile leans heavily toward the sweet side but finishes with a kush-like spice, offering users a unique smoking experience. Los Altos typically tests at high potency levels, consistently producing THC concentrations between 22-26% and approximately 1% CBGA. Its terpene profile is dominated by caryophyllene, with additional notes from myrcene and pinene contributing to its distinctive aromatic characteristics.
