Thunderstruck
Also known as: Thunder Struck
What is the Thunderstruck strain?
Thunderstruck is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 2.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and citrus and earthy flavor profile.
Thunderstruck is a rare sativa-dominant hybrid (75% sativa/25% indica) strain created as a backcross of the classic high-CBD ACDC strain, named after the AC/DC song of the same name. The strain emerged during the second wave of CBD breeding that followed the initial popularity of Cannatonic and its notable offspring, with many growers reporting that Thunderstruck traces to ACDC genetics. This cultivar routinely exhibits CBD:THC ratios above 10:1, with many lots exceeding 20:1, typically ranging from 10:1 up to 30:1 in finished, dried flower. The strain has rapidly become a staple in the medical cannabis community due to its therapeutic properties and minimal psychoactive effects, originating from careful Sin City Seeds' cultivation practices aimed at enhancing its medicinal potential.
Thunderstruck buds have fluffy bright neon green nugs with furry bright orange hairs and a thick frosty blanketed coating of tiny amber colored crystal trichomes. The strain has a light spicy herbal flavor with a sweet exhale and a woody aroma to match. The scent is a harmonious mix of pine and earthiness, underscored by subtle hints of citrus and spice, with the presence of myrcene and pinene terpenes contributing to its rich, earthy, and pine-like smell, while citrus notes can be attributed to the limonene content. The best Thunderstruck lots smell freshly zesty with clean pine and a hint of pepper, living up to its reputation as a clear-headed, CBD-forward staple.

How do you grow Thunderstruck?
Suitable for either indoor or outdoor growing conditions, Thunderstruck grows to an average height with an equally average yield of olive green colas with orange stigma hairs and popcorn-sized buds in a 50-to-60 day flowering cycle. The strain can be cultivated indoors and outdoors where plants will need a flowering time of approximately 56 days. Thunderstruck plants typically express sativa-leaning architecture, with medium-long internode spacing and a tendency toward lateral branching that benefits from support in late bloom, with vigorous phenotypes often presenting internodes in the mid range relative to ACDC. Canopies are noticeably airy when untrained, which helps with airflow but can reduce light interception without thoughtful canopy management. The strain is considered moderately easy to grow and shows good resistance to environmental fluctuations.
