Many may remember the Corleones as the famous crime family in Mario Puzo’s critically acclaimed The Godfather. Though years have passed, the book and its subsequent movies continue to rouse the interest of the public. In fact, a strain was named after it.
Corleone Kush is an Indica-leaning strain that is just as powerful as the fictional Mafia family it is named for. It induces a calming euphoria that first uplifts the mood before eventually settling down into the limbs. A few puffs are enough to induce a deep relaxation that develops into a sedating comedown as it ends. This heavy-hitting strain was later crossed with Pre-98 Bubba Kush, another predominantly Indica strain that provides immense therapeutic relief against mental distress and physical pain.
This led to the development of Luca Brasi, the famous and loyal bodyguard of Vito Corleone. It is equally as heavy hitting as its parents. It makes for an excellent companion after a stress-filled day which users could consume the strain with friends or alone. It produces a gentle recreational high that intensifies into a sedating comedown.
Having nearly a 1:1 THC to CBD ratio, it is no doubt that Luca Brasi has immense therapeutic capabilities. It provides relief to patients dealing with mental and physical health issues that diminish one’s quality of life.

Growing
Luca Brasi is a short plant that is perfect for home growing. Indoors, it has no problem fitting into a dedicated tent or small-sized grow room. The controllable environment also allows growers to install beneficial life support equipment such as a small growing fan that will cast a light breeze among the batch and help it develop a sturdier frame. Changing out to 600-watt HID lights will also improve bud production per square meter.


It works best under the Sea of Green setup. This particular method is non-invasive, gently coaxing the colas toward the light while also improving light distribution in the lower nodes. As it enters the flowering period, growers may want to start pruning the plant. If left unattended, its dense foliage can harbor moisture in between its crevices that could lead to the development of humidity-related problems such as mold, mildew, bud and root rot.
