As world opinion slowly evolves to truly understand and appreciate the psychological, spiritual, and medicinal benefits of cannabis, so too is the biology of marijuana evolving under human hands to better suit each individual need.

Painkiller XL: The Lovechild of Respect 13 and Juanita la Lagrimosa

Case in point: Painkiller XL. This new strain combines two well-received parents, Juanita la Lagrimosa (Spanish for "Juanita the Tearful") and Royal Highness, both of which are genetic hybrids of other precursor strains: Juanita la Lagrimosa from Queen Mother and a Mexican-Afghan blend; Royal Highness from Dance Hall and Respect 13.

A Perfectly Balanced Cannabinoid Profile

Painkiller XL is notable for its near-equal representation of 9% THC and 9% CBD, achieved by a seed that's 75% sativa and 25% indica. Although the sativa variety of cannabis is widely known for producing a mental, cerebral high while indica has a reputation for inducing a more physical high, other factors are more important to consider.

An Addition to the Pantheon of CBD Legends

There are other strains with very little THC and more CBD than Painkiller XL, but rare are such splendid balances. At the end of the flowering phase, buds will emanate aromas of lemon and diesel, which will become more pronounced after thorough drying and curing.

Heavy Yields in No Time at All

With a bloom period of 8 weeks, the Painkiller XL seed can produce 500–550g/m² indoors and an equal amount per plant outdoors. Inside, the plants average about 80cm in height; outside, the average height is around 135cm, with harvest time at the end of September.
