Tupac is a modern hybrid-indica strain derived from the lineage of LA Confidential. As a stable cultivar, it is well-suited for both indoor and outdoor cultivation environments, where it demonstrates a moderate difficulty level and is recognized for producing a high yield. Under optimal conditions, the plant reaches maturity following a 67-day flowering period.
The chemical profile of this strain is defined by a complex terpene sequence starting with caryophyllene, followed by nerolidol, limonene, linalool, humulene, myrcene, caryophyllene-oxide, camphene, and bisabolol. This specific arrangement of terpenes dictates the nuanced sensory profile of the flower, ensuring a distinct aromatic and flavor experience that reflects its intricate secondary metabolite composition.
As a THC-dominant variety, Tupac induces physiological and mental states characterized primarily by feelings of being relaxed, calm, and focused. These effects make the strain a functional option for users seeking relief from pain, stress, or sleep-related difficulties. The genetic influence of the cultivar is further evidenced by its notable offspring, which include MakaJilly, TupaCBD, and 2Poison.
