I thought I’d try growing some high CBD flower for the 2019 Summer-Fall outdoor season here in SoCal. I researched and saw Cannatonic CBD posting insane 17% CBD/ 5% THC numbers, so bought 5 seeds from Nirvana. Just completed grow on September 25th, and with month+ cure, here’s my take:
I grew it and a Sour D (see review) in 10 g pots with FF soil and AN 3 part nutes. Sprouted seeds mid May. Plant was super healthy and responded to my topping and bending well. Trained both it and Sour D to have 20+ colas, and had great results. Final Cannatonic dry weight at 20 oz of huge buds from 1 5.5’ tall plant.
First of all, it is definitely more than 5% THC. Not super strong, but a couple of tokes produces a decent cerebral high, but it is fairly short lived. But when you come down you have a distinctly “chill” relaxed and clear mind. The real story is the extracts I’ve made. So far, I’ve made about 40 fl oz of olive oil or coconut mct oil infused at a rate of 3.5 grams per fluid oz (gotta love the huge yields allowing super potent extracts, cheaply). I made a pain balm by mixing the olive oil with beeswax and a Pain balm called Penetrex, and I am humbled and blown away by the response: diabetic nerve pain suffer buddy puts on feet in morning and reports 6 hours of pain relief; buddy who is long time CBD balm user said it was most potent and best he’d used; and more. Just incredible. And the tincture is really nice. 2-3 droppers full gives an amazingly chill and relaxed buzz. No edible anxiety reported by anyone; all report sleeping like babies!
I am really sold on this strain and it is so incredibly fulfilling to take this hobby we love and turn it into relief for those we love and care for.
