LA Ultra is an indica-dominant strain. As you might have guessed from its name, the bud is a combination of two powerful indicas: LA Confidential and MK Ultra. Whatever its background, LA Ultra delivers body-sinking effects and a surprisingly fruity flavor. A potent smoke that may not be the best choice for newcomers to cannabis, LA Ultra has THC levels measured at between 19% and 22%. Fortunately, this heavy strain has an aroma that more than makes up for its aesthetics. When properly cured, LA Ultra’s flowers give off the unmistakable scent of citrus, inviting consumers to take a closer whiff. On second inspection, this lemon tang has some vegetal, herbal base notes lurking underneath, with hints of sage or basil. Breaking up or grinding the flowers, meanwhile, comes with a spicy, nose-tickling kick — an odor that intensifies when flowers are combusted in a pipe or a joint. LA Ultra’s smoke can be harsh and cough-inducing on the intake and can have an astringent citrus flavor on the exhale.
