Have you been looking for something a little tamer than THC…but a little more exciting than plain old CBD?
If so, you’re not alone. Wellness enthusiasts and cannabis lovers alike have been wondering if there’s a more enjoyable way to benefit from cannabinoids.
It turns out that there is. Let us introduce you to hemp flower — high CBD, low THC hemp flower, to be exact. Keep reading to learn more about five hemp CBD flower strains you might want to try in 2021…
- Bubba Kush
- OG Kush9
- Frosted Lime
- Hawaiian Haze
- Elektra
Strain #1: Bubba Kush
Total CBD content: 12%
Delta-9 THC content: 0.2%
CBD:THC ratio: 55:1
Top terpenes: Myrcene
Effects: Relaxing, insightful, sleep-promoting
Classification: Indica
If you’re looking for the perfect way to get into CBD flower, this might be it. Bubba Kush has been a favorite strain ever since it emerged on the scene in the 90s. Supposedly developed by an elusive cannabis breeder named Bubba who crossed Northern Lights with a Kush plant from India’s Hindu Kush region, Bubb Kush is one of the most relaxing cannabis strains out there — a pure Indica.
And, up until recently, Bubba Kush got its users pretty high. But that’s all changed thanks to the development of low THC/high CBD Bubba Kush. Customers love the more subtle type of upliftment that the strain’s CBD and terpenes work to provide.
And then there’s the taste. Bubba Kush is delightfully zesty, with hints of lemon and clove colliding with a rich cocoa flavor. If you’ve grown accustomed to the predictable taste of CBD oil, it’s hard to explain quite what you’ve been missing. All in all, Bubba Kush is a frequent top seller for a reason.
Strain #2: OG Kush
Total CBD content: 9.4%
Delta-9 THC content: .2%
CBD:THC ratio: 59:1
Top terpenes: Beta-caryophyllene
Effects: De-stressing, creative, sleep-promoting
Classification: Indica
It’s skunky. It’s diesel-ish. It’s spicey. For too many cannabis enthusiasts, it can be described simply as “fire.” And true to its name, OG Kush goes way back — it’s been keeping customers happy for decades.
Even the hemp-modified version of OG Kush has an otherworldly aroma and powerfully therapeutic effects. People report that it’s helped them sleep better, get past stubborn aches and pains, and just relieve stress in general.
The only thing that this strain can’t do? Get you high, of course! Discover for yourself why OG Kush is considered one of the best CBD flower strains available today.
Strain #3: Frosted Lime
Total CBD content: 17.9%
Delta-9 THC content: .2%
CBD:THC ratio: 94:1
Top terpenes: Beta-caryophyllene
Effects: Energizing, creative
Classification: Sativa
Frosted Lime stops the clock at nearly 18% CBD and provides an astronomical 94:1 CBD:THC ratio.
Why are these stats so important? Because they speak volumes to the strain’s mental and physical effects — Frosted Lime is about as energizing as hemp flower gets. Customers report that it boosts creativity, productivity, and inspiration, all of which make the strain a perfect companion for school and work.
Another practical benefit: frosted Lime tastes delicious. Its bold citrus flavor and even bolder citrus fragrance make it an instant favorite of many. Interestingly enough, the same limonene terpene that makes Frosted Lime so fragrant also helps with making it so energizing.
If you’re ready to kick your coffee habit (or at least cut back from 6 cups a day), then Frosted Lime could be the ideal strain for you.
Strain #4: Hawaiian Haze
Total CBD content: 14.7%
Delta-9 THC content: .1%
CBD:THC ratio: 113:1
Top terpenes: Myrcene
Effects: Relaxing, creative, mellow
Classification: Sativa-dominant
Hawaiian Haze is a frequent crowd favorite that seems to do everything right. With an ultra-high CBD: THC ratio, this CBD flower strain provides subtle relaxation while bringing your mental framework to another level. Plus, as you might expect, it has a flavor that’s truly tropical.
If you’re undecided about this strain, allow us to help. Do you like pina Coladas? Or getting caught in the rain? What about waking up each morning? If you like much of anything at all, then you’re likely to like Hawaiian Haze.
In all seriousness, customers really do love the holistic feel of this strain. One five-star review described it with just one word: “Everything.”
Strain #5: Elektra
Total CBD content: 18%
Delta-9 THC content: .14%
CBD:THC ratio: 128:1
Top terpenes: Myrcene
Effects: Awakening, grounding, insightful
Classification: Hybrid
Elektra is a relatively new CBD flower strain that’s quickly become a fan favorite. Some credit its success to a complex citrus + floral taste, others say it’s the strain’s grounded energy…we’d say it’s a combination of them both. Elektra, much like Hawaiian Haze, is a strain that seems to do everything well. If you’re looking for side-effect-free upliftment, look no further than Elektra.
Bonus: CBD + CBG Shake
Total CBD content: ~21%
Total CBG content: ~3.5%
Top terpenes: Myrcene
Effects: Therapeutic, creative, calming
Okay, okay, we’ll admit it. This one isn’t an actual CBD flower strain, per se. CBD + CBG shake is actually a combination of three different CBD flower strains — Bubba Kush, Lifter, and White CBG.
In other words, it’s a trifecta of awesomeness. The CBG provides an especially therapeutic effect; research has shown that it might be ultra-anti inflammatory. If you’re looking for a calming experience that doesn’t bog you down, then CBD + CBG shake could be a perfect choice.
