ReconEffects & Experience
Recon is best known for euphoric, happy, relaxed. The effects come on within the first 10 minutes and settle into a stable plateau that lasts 90 minutes to two hours at typical doses. Growers and users consistently note that the high stays true to its profile rather than drifting, what you feel in the first 20 minutes is what you have for the next 90.
Growing Recon
Growing Recon fits cooler climates where photoperiod strains struggle to finish before frost, autoflower timing is calendar-driven, not daylight-driven. Recon runs on an 18/6 light schedule from seed to harvest, autoflower genetics ignore photoperiod, so there is no flip and no light-cycle change. Indoor yields land around up to 300 g/m2 under quality LED, and outdoor plants given full sun and 5-7 gallon containers reliably produce up to 400 g/plant. Expected plant height is 3-4 Ft. Medium, with intermediate cultivation difficulty. Practical tips that move the needle: flush nutrients in the final 10-14 days for cleaner flavor; trichomes finish properly even on plain pH-adjusted water; and feed cal-mag from week 2 onward at 2-3 mL per gallon, most reverse-osmosis and soft tap water setups need it. The most common challenge growers report is calcium and magnesium supplementation under bright LED lighting; cal-mag at 2-3 mL/gal from week 2 prevents the most common deficiency.
