About Recon
Recon is an autoflowering hybrid engineered from Skunk x Ruderalis to deliver reliable, compact plants for growers in confined spaces or shorter seasons. It produces a mid-THC, low-CBD profile with earthy-citrus flavours and clear, balanced effects; plants are sturdy and finish quickly, making Recon a practical choice for those facing exposed weather or limited summers.
Recon is a compact hybrid combining vigour with manageable stretch. It favours balanced traits rather than the extremes of pure indica or sativa.
Recon typically tests in the mid THC range, suitable for regular users and cautious newcomers. Expect around 14–18% THC depending on season and care.
Recon carries a low to moderate CBD profile that complements its THC-driven effects. It is not primarily selected for high CBD therapeutics.
Recon originates from a Skunk x Ruderalis cross that favours early finishing and resilient structure. The Ruderalis influence contributes autoflowering traits and compact growth.
Recon is available as an autoflowering seed that completes its life cycle without a light schedule change. Autoflowering seeds suit a short season and discreet outdoor plots.
Recon is best suited to growers with some experience, as it benefits from attentive pruning and support. In windy coastal growing areas it will need staking and sheltered placement to avoid wind damage.
The flowering window for Recon is compact and reliable, finishing faster than many photoperiod varieties. Plants generally complete flowering in roughly 8–10 weeks from flower start.
Outdoor yields are medium and consistent relative to the plant's compact size. Under good conditions you can expect approximately 350–450 g per plant.
Plants remain relatively short and bushy with sturdy branching that suits low-profile gardens. Final height typically ranges between 60 and 120 cm.
Indoors, Recon performs well in limited space and under controlled conditions found in many Buckinghamshire setups. Outdoors in Buckinghamshire it benefits from early planting and good wind protection to make the most of the shorter season.
Growing Recon in Buckinghamshire requires careful site selection because of exposed weather. Windy coastal growing areas demand windbreaks and low planting to reduce stress on branches.
The high produces a clear, focused uplift that is balanced with gentle physical relaxation. Users report steady energy without heavy sedation.
Flavours lean earthy with bright citrus top notes and a hint of pine on the exhale. The smoke is smooth with a clean finish.
