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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Strain FAQ
Why are disease-resistant cannabis strains resilient?
Because they contain genes from many climates and places! This genetic diversity not only strengthens their resistance to diseases but also influences their aroma, potency, and appearance, making them uniquely versatile.
From where do many high CBD strains originate?
Traditional hemp strains have been used for generations to make fibre, food, and medicine, and high CBD strains are their descendants. These ancient strains naturally preferred higher CBD than THC levels before contemporary breeding procedures amplified these features for medical uses.
How do Sativa strains perform in outdoor cultivation compared to indoors?
Sativa strains typically thrive outdoors, where they can stretch to their full height and enjoy a longer growing season. Outdoors, they utilize the abundant space and natural sunlight, which can be more challenging to replicate indoors.
