Recon, also known as Recon OG or ReCon, is a heavy indica-dominant hybrid (80% indica/ 20% sativa). DNA Genetics created this award-winning strain by crossing LA Confidential with Cannadential genetics.
It became popular for its deeply sedating body effects, pungent pine aroma, and strong nighttime relief. This seeded batch offers excellent value for consumers seeking cheap pounds of weed, or legendary genetics while on a budget.
During flowering, pollination produced mature seeds throughout the buds. Consequently, THC levels range between 13–16% instead of the typical 23–26% found in premium unseeded cuts.
Genetics & Lineage
Recon combines LA Confidential with Cannadential genetics to create a powerful legacy indica hybrid. LA Confidential contributes heavy body sedation, earthy hash flavors, and calming nighttime effects. Meanwhile, the Cannadential lineage introduces sweet fruity undertones, strong yields, and subtle tropical notes.
Appearance & Bud Quality
Recon features chunky pale-green buds with dark forest undertones and bright amber pistils. Additionally, sticky trichomes heavily coat the flower surface and preserve the terpene profile. As a seeded batch, mature cannabis seeds appear naturally throughout the buds. Although the seeded batch is a budget bud, it still delivers excellent smoke quality and strong value for budget-conscious consumers.
Aroma & Flavor
Recon releases a loud aroma filled with earthy pine, spicy hash, pungent musk, and subtle sweet fruit. The inhale delivers woodsy pine flavors mixed with earthy herbs and warm spice. Meanwhile, the exhale introduces skunky musk, peppery hash, and mild tropical sweetness.
Effects & Experience
Recon begins with a fast euphoric lift that reduces stress and improves mood. Shortly afterward, heavy physical relaxation spreads throughout the body and melts away muscle tension. Because Recon leans heavily indica, the strain quickly produces deep body sedation and couch-lock effects.
