It would be wrong to name the toughest men in The Godfather’s New York after a strain that does not match him in power. After all, Luca Brasi was Don Vito’s go-to guys for accomplishing ‘unfinished business.’
However, instead of harming people, the Luca Brasi x Sour Diesel strain does the exact opposite. It helps patients get through the suffering of either mental or physical health issues with its impressive CBD levels of 13%.
The Indica-dominant herb’s parents are obvious from its moniker. Colorado-based breeders The Bank Genetics selected a female Luca Brasi which is famous for its high CBD content. The next genetic base is a male Sour Diesel, added in for its vigor in the grow room.
With a THC content of 10 to 11%, it is easy to belittle the strain. Still, it induces a comfortable high that entices users with different backgrounds. Moreover, its gentle buzz is a wonderful choice for beginners compared to the head-slamming high of today’s powerhouses.

A great beginner’s strain, its sturdy stalks and branches have developed resistance to high levels of moisture in the air, lack of sunlight, and short hours of the day. Fazed by strong gusts of wind, the brave plant will stand its ground without falter. Applying the Sea of Green method will encourage the plant to flourish further.
