History
HiLo CBD is an incredible new CBD dominant cannabis strain with 25% CBD and just 1% THC. Along with THC, CBD is one of the naturally occurring compounds in the cannabis plant. Short for cannabidiol, CBD provides all the physical relaxation of a potent indica, but with less of the psychedelic high that comes with heavier concentrations of THC. Hilo’s diverse family tree is rooted in mostly indica genetics from Swiss, Thai, Nepalese, AC/DC, and Sour Diesel plants. The 1:25 ratio is ideal for medicinal cannabis users who want to take advantage of CBD without feeling the psychoactive effects of THC. This exceptional medical strain has quickly become one of our most popular offerings.
HiLo Strain Appearance
HiLo dried flowers are thumb-sized and display a patchwork of green and purple hues. The fluffy buds are coated with orange pistils and covered in a dew of sticky trichomes containing high levels of CBD. The resinous flowers are excellent for making CBD rich extracts and concentrates.
Flavors
HiLo buds have a fruity and botanical fragrance. Fresh buds smell like sour cherries and lemon zest. After curing, HiLo nugs smell sweet, minty, and rose-like. The smoke has a familiar vegetal taste similar to green tea and muscat grapes.
Terpenes
HiLo is rich in the terpenes myrcene, caryophyllene, and humulene. These terpenes are known for having an herbal, spicey, and hoppy or woody taste. There are also modest amounts of linalool and terpinolene.
Cannabinoids
This CBD-heavy feminized cannabis strain contains only 1%THC to 25% CBD. CBD works by binding with receptors to raise the levels of feel-good neurotransmitters called serotonin and dopamine. Not only does CBD clear the mind of negativity, but it also relaxes the body by triggering the parasympathetic nervous system. HiLo is a great strain to smoke when you want pain relief but, you’re worried about where you need to be in 20 minutes.
Effects
HiLo CBD produces a soothing sensation that mellows bodily functions and creates a calm and peaceful feeling. HiLo offers barely any psychoactive effects, just a pleasant happy feeling combined with increased focus, mental clarity, and alertness. CBD rich strains like HiLo have valuable anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and antiemetic properties. There is also evidence to support the anti-spasmatic effects that are helpful for people with epilepsy.
Growing HiLo Seeds
HiLo feminized seeds grow vigorously and are suitable for all methods of cultivation. Growers of this strain can expect a bushy and well-branched plant with thin feathery leaves. HiLo grows up to 4 feet tall and produces chunky colas that look similar to a Skunk #1 plant. HiLo responds well to trellising and training techniques like SOG or SCROG. Depending on how much veg time you give it, HiLo can yield between 400 to 600 grams per plant. Flowering takes from 8-10 weeks indoors and, outdoor plants finish budding during mid-October. In the past several years, an increasing number of people have discovered the array of holistic benefits offered by CBD. HiLo CBD is recommended to any grower interested in doing more with their medical cannabis garden.
