Harlequin CBD is a sativa-dominant strain with a very high CBD:THC ratio of between 36:1 - 44:1. Such strains are used by medical patients who do not wish to experience any of the psychoactive effects that THC causes, preferring to keep a clear head while enjoying bodily relaxation. Harlequin CBD is easy to grow.
Indoors, plants grow to be 70 - 90 cm. tall producing yields of 500 - 550 gr/m2 in a 55 - 60 days flowering period. Plants cultivated in an outdoor setting will become bigger at 150 - 180 cm. and ready for harvest in the first 10 days of October in the northern hemisphere.
The dominant terpene is myrcene which lends an earthy/mango scent and flavour to this variety. Other terpenes present include pinene (pine) and caryophyllene, the latter contributing peppery/spicy notes.
CBD levels range between 18 - 22% while THC is rated at 0.5%. The effect is focused and relaxing without being intoxicating or sedative in nature. Harlequin CBD is recommended for the relief of pain, stress and anxiety.
