What is the ReCon strain?
ReCon is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 25.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and citrus and diesel flavor profile.
ReCon is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain developed by DNA Genetics through crossing LA Confidential with Cannadential. This award-winning strain achieved recognition at multiple cannabis competitions, including 2nd place at the 2008 South African Cup and 3rd place at the 2010 Outdoor Spannabis Competition. The strain exhibits an 80% indica and 20% sativa genetic composition, producing dense, light green buds with purple hues and red-brown pistils, covered in a thick layer of white trichomes. ReCon maintains LA Confidential's signature potency and deep relaxation while incorporating Cannadential's balanced hybrid characteristics and herbal flavors. The strain has been noted for its longer-lasting sedative effects compared to typical indica varieties, making it particularly valued for evening use. DNA Genetics has since released an updated version called ReCon 2.0, maintaining the original genetics while refining the strain's characteristics and potency profile.
