ACDC CBD

The ACDC CBD strain of cannabis is a direct relative to the Cannatonic cannabis strain. ACDC CBD produces zero psychoactive effects and is highly sought after for its tremendous CBD levels. If you are looking to catch a heady buzz, then look elsewhere. Created in Northern California by Dr. William Courtney for the express purpose of helping his patients, the ACDC strain provides users with a completely different cannabis experience. The strain boasts a peppery and citrus flavor and aroma with hints of skunk when combusted. If you are looking for relaxation in both body and mind without feeling high or stoned then this is a good choice for your specific needs.

ACDC CBD: Light and Spicy

ACDC CBD seeds grow into medium to tall plants with short leaves and long buds. The entire plant is bright green in color, which is the case with most CBD plants. The buds are large and give off a skunky, sweet aroma that smells just like normal, THC-filled cannabis plants. Upon closer inspection, you can see bright orange and red pistils growing out of the buds while the exterior is coated in crystal resin. The harvested nuggets are pale green with bright amber hairs throughout. The nuggets are more leafy than dense and contain massive CBD levels, ideal for people suffering from several different ailments. The ACDC CBD strain is one of the most popular CBD strains in the world. It has won multiple Cannabis Cup awards for CBD cannabis and has thousands of positive reviews online.

ACDC CBD Feminized Seeds grow best in a sunny Mediterranean climate. This strain will grow indoors or outdoors. An easy strain for experienced cultivators to bring to harvest, the ACDC strain is relatively high-maintenance. Keep in mind the size of these plants when you plant your seeds. They require ample room to grow, as well as lots of sunlight and fresh air. You don’t need to water these plants as much as THC plants, but they still require attention to detail.

Dial in Your Growing Conditions

  • Indoor or Outdoor: ACDC CBD cannabis plants can be grown indoors and outdoors by experienced growers. The desired temperature for this strain is between 68-80 degrees Fahrenheit. This strain requires 18-20 hours of light during the vegetative stage. To induce flowering, change the light cycle to a 12/12 cycle. This will mimic the sun’s rays and bring the strain through flowering and into harvest.
  •  Moisture control: Humidity levels of approximately 40-50% during the vegetative phase, gradually decreasing to 30-40% or lower during the flowering stage. This change in humidity will help keep mold and bud rot off of your plants.
  • Training Techniques: High-stress training (HST) is the best training method for this strain. This method adjusts the canopy so that direct light reaches every bud site on the plant. Bending the branches without breaking them helps the plant grow equally from top to bottom.

The Germination Game Plan

Before you even plant your ACDC CBD female cannabis plants, you will first need to germinate these seeds. To do so, refer to our free germination guide, knowing that they are backed by our impressive 90% germination guarantee.

Yields, Flowering Time, and Harvest

  • Flowering Time: Growing indoors, you can expect the ACDC strain to harvest after a flowering period of 60-70 days. If you are growing outside, then you can expect flowering to occur from mid-October to early November.
  • Yields: While Indoor yields are around 400 grams per square meter, outdoor grows typically produce up to 450 grams per plant. Given the somewhat easy grow, these yield numbers are fantastic. Remember that these plants have minimal THC, so the amount of cannabis required to get the job done is smaller than it is with THC plants, making these yields twice as effective.

Dominant Terpenes in ACDC CBD: Thunderstruck

The ACDC CBD terpene profile is directly responsible for how the plant smells and tastes and the strong effects it has on its users. The most dominant terpene in this strain is caryophyllene, while pinene and myrcene are secondary terpenes.

  • Caryophyllene: Most Dominant – Known for its spicy and peppery taste and aroma, this terpene can be found in cinnamon and cloves as well as cannabis.
  • Pinene: Secondary Terpene – Found in conifer trees and pine needles. This terpene is responsible for the earthy and pine-like fragrance and flavor.
  • Myrcene: Mother of Terpenes – Earthy and woody scents and flavors. This terpene is one of the most frequently seen terpenes in cannabis.

Dominant Cannabinoids in ACDC CBD:

Cannabinoids play an important role in ACDC CBD seeds and are generally a huge part of most strains of cannabis. That relaxed, happy, and focused feeling you get when enjoying the ACDC CBD strain is due to its dominant cannabinoids. Each cannabinoid does something different to the user.

  • THC: The Main Character – THC is the least dominant cannabinoid on the molecular level of this strain. The crystalline compound tetrahydrocannabinol is the main ingredient of most cannabis strains. Topping out at 6%, the THC in this balanced hybrid strain is responsible for the happy and relaxed feeling you get when enjoying ACDC CBD cannabis.
  • CBD: Very Minimal Amounts – The CBD levels in ACDC CBD are around 13%.

    These plants are very efficient at nitrogen uptake, maintaining a healthy green glow even as I started the final two-week flush before harvest day.

  2. Briar Sol Verified Buyer

    The delivery was very fast and the packaging was incredibly discreet, arriving at my door just four days after I placed the online order.

  3. Soren Vale Verified Buyer

    I am very impressed with the overall vigor of the plants; they grew nearly an inch a day during the peak of the veg.

  4. hazelthread Verified Buyer

    I noticed a very fast transition to flower; they started showing pistils only five days after I flipped the lights to the 12/12 cycle.

  5. P. S. Verified Buyer

    These ACDC seeds are an excellent choice for anyone who wants a low-maintenance grow that still delivers high-quality botanical results every time.

  6. Noelle T. Verified Buyer

    Really pleased with these. All 4 seeds I ordered germinated successfully. Plants grew tall — taller than I expected indoors — so I had to do some aggressive topping. With a bit of training they filled my 4×4 tent beautifully. Final product is smooth, earthy, and effective for relaxation. Would buy again.

  7. F.M Verified Buyer

    I was skeptical that home-grown CBD could actually work but I’m a total convert now. These plants were easier to grow than I expected and the harvest was generous. More importantly, the flower genuinely helps with my anxiety and sleep issues. No high whatsoever, just calm. Game-changer for me personally.

  8. Talia Brooks Verified Buyer

    The secondary branching is very strong, easily supporting the weight of the side colas without the need for extensive wooden stakes or netting.

  9. sprucetrail Verified Buyer

    I grow for myself to manage anxiety and this strain is exactly what I needed. Easy to grow, forgiving of minor mistakes, and the end product is genuinely therapeutic. No paranoia, no high — just a calm, functional feeling that lasts for hours. Packaging was professional and seeds arrived quickly. Five stars without hesitation.

  10. C.K Verified Buyer

    Grew these outdoors in Montana and they handled the cooler evenings like champions. Finished before the first frost without issue. The plants were gorgeous — classic ACDC structure with excellent bud development. The CBD content in the final product is clearly high. This is now my go-to outdoor CBD strain.
