Founded in 2008, Resin Seeds is part of the set of young, ambitious seed companies springing up in Western Europe – in this case, Spain. The head breeder has been active in the scene since the previous decade when he ran a grow shop in Barcelona and became an authority on cannabis genetics. Resin Seeds breeds, engineers and supplies product for medical marijuana users, as well as seed buyers looking for stability in their gardens. L.A. Ultra contains genetics from L.A. Confidential as well as MK Ultra, making it a very reliable all-rounder plant that has earned accolades worldwide.

Due to the heavy indica influence, plants will be fairly short and stubby, lending themselves to both indoor and outdoor environments. L.A. Confidential is resistant to mildew, and L.A. Ultra has inherited this enviable characteristic, making it a great outdoor strain. If you work indoors, don’t be afraid to try this plant in an organic soil grow, as its hardiness makes it great for this sort of set up. Although a hydroponic set up isn’t necessary for such a simple and easy plant, if you choose to go down that route your plant will respond well and look amazingly healthy. Flowering begins to occur between 45 and 55 days but, due to the MK Ultra parentage, the period from here to harvest isn’t as short as it is for other indica strains. However, as early as 3 weeks into flowering, your plants should be covered in trichomes – patience will be necessary to wait for the right harvesting time! You’ll know that you are getting there when your plants start to give off a spicy stench that stings the nostrils, but hang in there for as long as possible to ensure the most potent and dense buds you could ever wish for. An outdoor grow can be harvested in September with expected yields of 100 to 250 grams per plant, and indoors, you should take away around 350 grams of premium L. A. Ultra bud from each square yard of grow space.

When flowering, the buds give off a slightly spicy and fruity aroma, and often display gorgeous crystal white buds. Both L.A. Confidential and MK Ultra are known to give energetic, hard-hitting highs, and the former has been reported to give a psychedelic experience if enough is inhaled or ingested. Expect a heady high that tokers in Spain are raving about. The ‘hypnotic’ stone of MK Ultra means that this is not a wake 'n bake strain – be sure to set aside some time to enjoy a decent trip.
