Appearance

Al Capone typically presents elongated, tapering colas with a high calyx-to-leaf ratio, simplifying manicuring. The cured buds form dense, spear-like shapes covered in a shimmering layer of trichomes. They are usually lime to forest green, accented by orange pistils, with occasional faint purple hues appearing on sugar leaves in cooler temperatures. The abundant resin heads give the flowers a visually sticky appearance.

Aroma & Flavor

The aroma of Al Capone is characterized by bright citrus and pine notes, with subtle undertones of diesel and sweet herbs. Upon grinding, scents of lemon-lime peel, crushed pine needles, and a peppery spice emerge. As the flower cures, these notes can evolve into a sweeter, more floral bouquet with hints of green apple and basil.

Effects

This mostly sativa strain is known for providing energetic and clear-headed stimulation. Its effects are often described as uplifting and conducive to creativity, making it a suitable choice for daytime use. The initial onset is typically racy but settles into a functional and sustained experience.

Terpenes & Cannabinoids

Al Capone typically exhibits THC levels ranging from 18-26% and less than 1% CBD. Its terpene profile is often dominated by limonene and terpinolene, with supporting notes of caryophyllene, pinene, and ocimene. These contribute to its signature citrus, pine, and spicy aromatic qualities.

Growing

As a mostly sativa, Al Capone displays a lanky growth pattern with long internodes and significant stretch during the initial weeks of flowering. It benefits from training and trellising to support its upright structure, which features elongated, spear-shaped buds. The flowering time is generally around 63-70 days, yielding a visually appealing harvest.
