Also known as: Cannonball
What is the Cannon Ball strain?
Cannon Ball is a indica cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and diesel and earthy flavor profile.
Cannon Ball is a potent indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain developed by the breeder Exotic Genetix. The strain was created by crossing the popular indica strain Bubba Kush with the hybrid strain Cherry Pie, resulting in a genetic profile that emphasizes heavy physical effects and distinctive flavor characteristics. Cannon Ball first gained attention in the mid-2010s and has since become known among indica enthusiasts for its powerful sedative properties and unique aromatic profile.
The strain typically produces dense, chunky buds that are dark green with occasional purple hues, often covered in a thick layer of frosty trichomes and vibrant orange pistils. The buds are usually compact and resinous, with a sticky texture that indicates high cannabinoid content. The name "Cannon Ball" references the strain's ability to deliver a powerful, heavy-hitting effect that many users describe as physically overwhelming.
Cannon Ball is characterized by its complex aroma profile that combines earthy, sweet, and diesel-like notes. The flavor often translates to a smooth smoke with undertones of hash and spices, followed by a sweet aftertaste. Due to its high THC content and strong indica effects, this strain is generally recommended for experienced cannabis consumers rather than beginners.
