Recon 2.0 by DNA Genetics

Recon 2.0 Strain Info

Recon 2.0 is not your everyday cannabis strain. Born from a powerful cross between the legendary LA Confidential and the hybrid superstar Cannadential, this strain packs an irresistible punch. It brings together 80% indica and 20% sativa genetics, making it a robust and resilient option for those who crave something with a little edge.

LA Confidential, a multiple award-winner, is known for its intense, body-numbing relaxation and classic skunky scent. Cannadential, on the other hand, adds a balanced hybrid touch, offering both high THC content and a sprinkle of CBD, along with its unique herbal flavors. Together, they create Recon 2.0—an indica-dominant beast that’s heavy on relaxation but still lets you keep your feet on the ground with its mild sativa traits.

Flowering Time & Yield

The flowering time of Recon 2.0 seeds takes between 8 and 9 weeks. Indoors, expect a compact plant with bushy, broad leaves and short internodes, typical of its indica lineage. Its dense buds shimmer with trichomes and sticky resin, giving it a frosty appearance that’s hard to resist.

If you're growing indoors, you can anticipate yields of up to 600 grams per square meter. Outdoors, if you treat it right and plant it around mid-April, Recon 2.0 rewards you with a hefty 21 ounces per plant (or around 600 grams). Harvest comes by mid-October, just in time to stock up for those cozy, fall evenings.

Effects and Aroma

When you light up Recon 2.0, get ready for an intense, long-lasting high that evolves over time. It starts with a euphoric head buzz, lifting your mood and clearing away negative thoughts like a warm breeze on a cold day. Gradually, the indica side takes over, pulling you into a state of full-body relaxation. Your limbs feel heavier, your muscles loosen, and before you know it, you’re one with the couch. Ideal for late afternoons or nights when all you want is to unwind and drift into a deep, restful sleep.

The aromas of this strain are classic yet complex. At first, you'll notice the earthy, piney notes typical of old-school cannabis, thanks to its dominant terpene, myrcene. But as the smoke thickens, you’ll pick up subtler hints of clove, citrus, and even a touch of melon and mint. It’s a heady combination that makes every puff a sensory journey. The flavor mirrors this aromatic explosion, offering a mix of musk, spice, sweetness, and a lingering sourness on the exhale.

Recon 2.0 comes in hot with around 23% THC, making it a heavy hitter for both recreational and medicinal users. It’s perfect for knocking out stress, pain, and insomnia, and it’s even been praised for helping with depression and nausea. The CBD levels are on the low side, but with effects this powerful, you’ll hardly miss it.

Grower's Tips for Recon 2.0

When it comes to growing Recon 2.0 seeds, there are a few things we’ve learned that can make the journey a little smoother. First, this strain tends to thrive best indoors, where you have full control over temperature and humidity. Recon 2.0 is a bit picky when it comes to moisture levels—too much, and you risk mold and rot setting in. We recommend keeping the humidity between 50–60% during the vegetative stage and dropping it down to 40–50% once it starts flowering. The ideal temperature? Somewhere in the sweet spot between 21°C and 27°C.

In terms of resistance, Recon 2.0 does well against common pests, but it’s not invincible. Keep a close eye on humidity and airflow to prevent mildew or rot, especially if you're growing in a damp environment. Outdoors, it loves a sunny spot with plenty of fresh air. Make sure to plant it in nutrient-rich, well-draining soil and give it a bit of room to stretch its roots.

This strain is best suited for intermediate growers. It’s not as forgiving as some other strains when it comes to environmental fluctuations, so if you’re new to the game, be prepared to monitor your setup closely. That being said, the effort is absolutely worth it. The dense, resin-coated buds that Recon 2.0 delivers will more than reward your patience.

What stands out the most about Recon 2.0? For us, it’s the perfect balance between relaxation and a euphoric head high. It’s a rare combination that makes this strain a standout among indicas. Not only that, but the sheer amount of resin this plant produces will leave any grower smiling from ear to ear when harvest time rolls around. If you love frosty, sticky buds, Recon 2.0 will not disappoint.
