Love Potion 99
Also known as: LP99, Love Potion #99
Love Potion 99 Strain Overview
Love Potion 99 is a hybrid cannabis strain developed by breeder Steve Tuck of Sagarmatha Seeds in the late 1990s. The strain was created by crossing two notable parent strains: Love Potion #1 (a cross of Purple Haze and Highland Nepalese) with a selected male from the Fruity Juice strain. This combination resulted in a balanced hybrid that has gained recognition for its unique aromatic profile and balanced effects. The strain's name reflects its reputation for producing euphoric, mood-enhancing experiences that some users describe as romantic or sensual.
Visually, Love Potion 99 plants typically produce medium-sized, dense buds with a distinctive appearance. The flowers often display a mix of deep green and purple hues, complemented by vibrant orange pistils and a generous coating of trichomes. The strain's most notable characteristic is its complex aroma profile, which combines fruity, floral, and spicy notes. The buds emit a sweet, perfume-like scent that becomes more pronounced when broken apart or ground.
Love Potion 99 has maintained a consistent presence in the cannabis community since its introduction, though it is considered somewhat rare compared to more mainstream commercial strains. The strain is particularly valued by connoisseurs for its unique terpene profile and balanced effects that combine cerebral stimulation with physical relaxation. While not as widely available as some modern hybrids, Love Potion 99 continues to be cultivated by specialty growers and can occasionally be found in dispensaries that focus on heritage or boutique strains.

Love Potion 99 Strain Growing Information
Love Potion 99 is considered a moderate difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors and are ready for outdoor harvest in late September to early October. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments but prefers a Mediterranean-like climate when grown outdoors. Plants tend to reach medium height (3-5 feet indoors, 5-7 feet outdoors) and benefit from training techniques like topping or low-stress training to maximize yield. Special considerations include maintaining proper humidity control during flowering to prevent mold, as the dense buds can be susceptible in humid conditions. The strain responds well to organic nutrients and produces its best aromas when not overfed.
