Painkiller XL
Also known as: Painkiller
Painkiller XL Strain Overview
Painkiller XL is a sativa-dominant hybrid strain combining two well-regarded parents: Juanita la Lagrimosa and Royal Highness. The strain features a genetic split of 75% sativa and 25% indica genetics. Plants grown from Painkiller XL seeds are notable for containing a nearly even ratio of THC to CBD, with around 9% of each cannabinoid. This strain was bred intentionally in the early 2010s to meet a growing demand for balanced THC:CBD chemotypes, as many commercial strains at the time exceeded 20% THC with negligible CBD, a profile that can be counterproductive for patients sensitive to anxiety or cognitive impairment. Breeders sought a cultivar that would provide analgesia and mood lift without the heavy psychoactivity associated with high-THC varieties.
At the end of the flowering phase, buds emanate aromas of lemon and diesel, which become more pronounced after thorough drying and curing. This bud has huge, oversized rounded bright neon green nugs with thin orange hairs and a coating of tiny, frosty golden-white crystal trichomes. The terpene spectrum is dominated by myrcene, beta-caryophyllene, and limonene, conferring a citrus-herbal aroma with gentle spice and pine. With a CBD:THC ratio of 1:1, this strain provides a perfectly balanced high that places the mind in the present moment and puts ruminating thoughts to rest. Plants typically reach heights of 80cm indoors and 135cm outdoors, making them suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation in mild climates.

Painkiller XL Strain Growing Information
With a bloom period of 8 weeks, Painkiller XL can produce 500-550g/m² indoors. Indoor plants average about 80cm in height, while outdoor plants reach around 135cm, with harvest time at the end of September. The strain can tolerate both indoor and outdoor growth and prefers a mild climate, though her adaptable traits enable cultivators to obtain generous harvests in cooler outdoor settings. Indoor plants typically range from 60-100cm in height, making them functional for growers dealing with limited space or those who desire to keep their grow operations discrete. Outdoor plants can produce an equal amount per plant (500-550g) and are ready for harvest in late September. The strain is considered moderately easy to grow and is suitable for both beginner and experienced cultivators.
