L.A. Ultra has balanced effects.

L.A. Ultra is a modern hybrid-indica cultivar that traces its lineage to an Al Capone cross and an additional parent of undocumented origin. The strain is cultivated in both indoor and outdoor environments, demonstrating a moderate level of difficulty that results in a high yield within a 53-day flowering window. Its genetic footprint remains notable within the industry, as it has been utilized to develop successors such as Al Capone and Tommy Gun.

The chemistry of the strain is defined by a diverse terpene profile led by caryophyllene, followed by myrcene, limonene, humulene, and linalool. The olfactory and sensory experience continues with secondary and trace expressions of beta-pinene, nerolidol, bisabolol, pinene, caryophyllene-oxide, camphene, guaiol, and terpinolene. This specific arrangement of volatile compounds functions as the foundation for the strain's aromatic and flavor profile.

As a THC-dominant variety, L.A. Ultra is characterized by effects that include relaxation, calmness, and mental focus. These properties make the strain a suitable choice for addressing symptoms related to pain, stress, and sleep disturbances. Through its stable cultivation requirements and observed physical and mental outcomes, the strain occupies a distinct space in contemporary hybrid-indica breeding.
