Cultivation Tips
LA Confidential is a strain that likes warmer temperatures ranging from 21-27°C, which is good news for growers in sunny regions like Queensland and Western Australia. It is relatively quick to flower and will reward you with dense, resinous buds in 7 to 8 weeks. Growers can expect a yield of 350 to 450 grams per square meter if growing indoors, while outdoor plants can yield 450 to 550 grams.
This strain likes sun and heat and will thrive in Australia’s sunnier regions. When growing outdoors, plants are happy with at least six hours of direct sunlight, and indoors, be sure to provide adequate exposure with grow lights. Feed your LA Confidential plants according to the stage of their lifecycle, and despite their resilience, check them regularly for mold and pests. The dense, resinous buds need good ventilation and airflow to prevent mold and mildew, especially if you’re in a particularly humid climate like Darwin or Queensland.
This top Indica strain is known for its adaptability and forgiving nature, making it an excellent choice for novice growers.
Terpene & Cannabinoid Profile
LA Confidential is a potent strain with up to 25% THC and low CBD. The most abundant terpene present is pinene, followed by caryophyllene and myrcene.
