Haleigh’s Comet

Overview

Halley’s Comet is a Sativa dominant hybrid strain with 60% Sativa and 40% Indica. It’s one of those rare medicinal strains with almost balanced THC and CBD content; 12% THC and 14% CBD. Patients enjoy this strain because they get to benefit from moderate THC effects without getting overwhelmed; they also enjoy massive amounts of CBD. This also means that this strain can be used at any time of the day, making it even more wonderful.

Halley’s Comet is a cross between an early Californian Skunk strain with the stable genetics of Skunk #1.

Most cannabis strains will have CBD amounts ranging between 0.1%-1%, so Halley’s Comet stands out because of the super-high CBD amounts. Even with the moderate THC level, this strain won’t get you stoned.

It’s a social strain that will induce giggles and a chitty chatty mood. Patients with social anxiety disorders may benefit from having a few tokes to ease social pressure. Even though this may not offer a long-term remedy, it may get you started on a journey to better social skills.

Halley’s Comet is named after the brightest comet in the sky, for good reasons. The neon green nugs are soaked in silvery-white trichomes that shine against the light, giving it the appearance of an illuminated comet. The nugs cling together in popcorn shape and glow under light, reflecting the green color of the surrounding foliage. Orange pistils can be spotted randomly curling around the nugs.

Halley’s Comet has a sour citrusy aroma with earthy undertones. The taste is pleasant herbal on the exhales, something to look forward to.

The plants grow tall and produce decent yields when grown in optimal conditions. It does well both indoors and outdoors and is not a difficult strain to cultivate.
