Cascade Connie
Cascade Connie
Also known as: Connie Chung
Overview
Cascade Connie is an indica-dominant hybrid strain (80% indica/20% sativa) developed by Western Cultured, a seed bank specializing in cannabis strains treasured in the Pacific Northwest. The strain represents a rebrand of the classic Connie Chung strain, which emerged as a cross between two highly regarded parent varieties: LA Confidential and G13. This genetic combination brings together the award-winning relaxation properties of LA Confidential, a multiple Cannabis Cup winner known for its profound sedative effects, with the legendary potency of G13, creating a strain that delivers both therapeutic benefits and exceptional quality. Cascade Connie is characterized by small heart-shaped forest green buds with greenish clear hairs and a thick frosting of milky white crystal trichomes. The strain exhibits striking visual appeal with blue streaks running through the densely packed, resin-covered buds. Its aroma profile features sweet herbal tea notes with woody undertones, complemented by grape and earthy essences that create a complex and appealing bouquet. The flavor profile mirrors its aromatic qualities, delivering a sweet tea taste with light woody aftertaste and subtle spice notes. Users report that this strain provides a balanced experience that begins with euphoric uplift followed by deep physical relaxation, making it particularly valuable for evening use and therapeutic applications.

Growing Information
Cascade Connie is considered beginner-friendly and suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation. The strain has a flowering time of approximately 8 weeks and develops into medium-height plants. For optimal results, temperatures should be maintained around 25°C (77°F) with relative humidity levels between 50-60%. The buds can become quite dense, so proper humidity control and air circulation are essential to prevent mold and rot. Indoor growers can expect yields of 400+ grams per square meter under ideal conditions. The strain responds well to both high-stress training (HST) and low-stress training (LST) techniques, which can significantly increase overall yields. For outdoor cultivation, plants prefer sunny, well-draining locations and are typically ready for harvest in October.
