Rico Suave Strain Overview
Rico Suave is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain developed by Lit Farms through a cross between Melonatta and Temptation. This sophisticated strain emerged from the modern breeding program of Lit Farms, which spent approximately 3-4 years perfecting the cultivar through more than 10 different iterations before approving the final stable genotype. The strain represents an evolution in breeding strategies that combines classic indica traits with modern cultivation techniques, resulting in a reliable and consistent performer for both commercial and connoisseur use.
Rico Suave exhibits dense, compact buds with a predominantly dark green coloration accented by hints of purple and ochre, and striking orange pistils. The flowers are layered with deep forest green hues and display a generous coating of purple-tinted trichomes that create a frosty, crystalline appearance. The strain features a complex terpene profile dominated by myrcene (35-45% of total terpenes), which provides the classic indica earthiness, complemented by limonene (20-25%) and caryophyllene (10-15%) that add citrusy brightness and spicy depth.
The strain offers a creamy, fruity flavor profile with prominent melon and citrus notes, creating what users describe as an "unmatchable haze/cerebral high" that balances relaxation with mental clarity. Rico Suave has established itself as a benchmark for quality in indica-dominant strains, combining nostalgic classic indica characteristics with modern genetic refinement.
