All About Vortex Weed Strain
THC
CBD
Potency
The Vortex strain is a Subcool’s The Dank’s creation. This hybrid is an 80/20 Sativa-dominant weed with great potency that brings on a whirling feeling of euphoria. It’s a child strain of Apollo 13 and Space Queen, two celestial parents who have won numerous awards in the cannabis industry. Just like its parents, the Vortex marijuana has inherited its power to win awards, and has the 2010 High Times’ Best Sativa and the 2007 High Times ‘Top 10’ award in its arsenal.
Thanks to its lineage, this strain is quite flavourful and unique. It has a sweet and sour lemony aroma combined with notes of mango and similar flavors. Its inherited effects go from energetic and racy to disorienting and heavy. This is why we recommend this pot (including edibles like wax and oil) to be taken later in the day.
The THC content of Vortex is around 20%, which makes it relatively potent, but safer to use than stronger strains. Novice users should still take caution, but they shouldn’t expect negative effects if they dose it properly. Some users report uplifting spirits and bursts of energy when they take this strain, while others report couch lock and deep relaxation.
Vortex flowers in around 45 to 55 days and has a yield that goes up to 140 per plant.

Vortex Strain Cannabinoids
| THC | 17.8 - 20.4% | Tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, is a major cannabis chemical compound. It is a psychoactive element that stimulates dopamine release and induces euphoria or happiness. THC-rich strains may be helpful with such conditions as lack of appetite, chronic pains , etc. It is considered to be the primary active marijuana component. |
| CBD | 0.38 - 0.73% | Cannabidiol, or CBD, is a major compound in cannabis, which is non-psychoactive. It is also proved to counteract the side effects of the second major component THC. CBD is widely used for medicinal purposes in rubs, oils and so on. It is helpful in muscle pain cases, may treat arthritis and migraines. Even Greeks used it against pain, while Queen Victoria applied it to get rid of menstrual cramps. |
| CBC | 0.19 - 0.63% | Cannabichromene, or CBC, is a minor cannabinoid, meaning that its quantity in cannabis is quite little. Though it has the same origin as CBD and THC, it is different in functions. Without any psychoactive effects, it is an efficient cannabis compound in combating acne and depression. CBC produces analgesic, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects. |
| CBG | 0.13 - 1.12% | Cannabigerol, or CBG, is one of the minor cannabis compounds in adult plants. On the other hand, young ones contain a lot of this antibacterial and anti-inflammatory component.

| CBN | 0.18 - 0.24% | Cannabinol, or CBN, is a trace element in cannabis that is considered to be mildly psychoactive. It appears from oxidation THC, exposed to light and heat. CBN is mostly contained in old cannabis and in traditional hashish. It is effective against insomnia, bacterial infections and appetite loss. |
| THCV | 0.2 - 0.91% | Tetrahydrocannabivarin, or THC-V, is a compound contained in cannabis in trace amounts. Even though it is close to THC molecularly, it is different in effects. This compound may be psychoactive only in large amounts. THC-V reduces blood sugar, controls appetite, stimulates bone growth, etc. African Sativa strains are the richest in THC-V. |

You need to dose it proeprly and then you will notice the energy will last for the entire day. taht lemony taste on the tongue is a reassurance you need to face the day. Its how it works for me.
The oil version helped me feel better after I recently sprained my neck. Its good.
