Pennywise CBD
Forget the scary and evil Stephen King novel character clown named Pennywise. This Pennywise CBD strain is relatively gentle and has a relaxing and calming aromatic experience. Created from Harlequin and Jack the Ripper, this cannabis strain thrives as a recreational strain fit for therapeutic use.
Pennywise is endowed with a balanced cannabinoid profile. She gets you a THC-to-CBD ratio of 1:1 with slight variations in some phenotypes. Typically, the CBD concentration ranges between 8% and 13.5%, while the THC ranges between 8% and 15%.
When it comes to the genetic makeup, nothing pairs the CBD to THC ratio better than an Indica dominance. This queen offers you an 80% Indica genetic makeup trumping Sativa’s 20%. This makes her the ideal evening session.
Well, pennywise CBD strain has killer looks. The flowers take on a grape-shaped and robust Indica appearance. They rise against a vibrant pale green leafy background that is complemented by generous orange to brown-pistils. A thick blanket of trichomes covers the buds extensively, topped by shiny resin drops.

Optimizing Phenotype in Pennywise CBD
With different cannabis phenotypes come slight variations in individual traits. You need to understand these variations in order to grow the best crop. Here is a simple guide to better break down the potential differences that you should expect and how to handle them like a pro.
Growth Speed and Developmental Rates
Pennywise CBD shows near similar vigor in their growth and development. However, knowing when to start training fast-growing variants is essential, especially in indoor setups. Also, plants that may have a slower growth rate may need a little boost for an even growing experience in your grow room.
A rapid vertical growth from an early stage with broader leaves suggests a fast growing phenotype. On the other hand, slower vertical growth paired with smaller and tighter leaves and internodes indicates slower growth.
Flowering Density and Bud Traits
In some plants, you may notice dense and compact buds. These are more likely to be prone to mold and mildew attacks due to potential inadequate aeration. These buds would benefit most from staggered harvesting. Harvesting the buds based on individual maturity helps avoid over-ripening and excessive moisture exposure.
For the plants with a more loosened and often finger-like appearance, an extended flowering time helps them mature fully. As a rule of thumb, harvest your Pennywise CBD buds when the trichomes turn milky.
Pro Grow Tip : If you are looking to grow Pennywise CBD outdoors, make sure the temperature is warm around 68 to 80F. Also the climate needs to stay dry.
Resin Production and Nutrient Needs
With different bud setups, the Pennywise CBD phenotypes have different resin outputs. Resin is a crucial trait that is directly proportional to the strain’s potency, aroma and flavor. A lower resin production significantly affects the overall yield and bud quality.
To ensure a high resin production, ensure your plants are well fed. Heavier feeders with rapid growth need more frequent fertilization. However, adjusting the schedules and emphasizing a balanced nutrient mix is key to both variants.
Origin And History
Pennywise CBD is the result of crossing the CBD strain Harlequin and the sativa dominant Jack the Ripper. TGA Genetics, a renowned American cannabis seed bank, blended these carefully thought-out parents. The idea was getting a strain with a well balanced cannabinoid profile.
An interesting fact about the Pennywise CBD strain is that it is named after the Pennywise clown from Stephen King’s novel “It.” Despite the clown being an ancient evil entity, you can quickly tell TGA Genetics employed the playful name for the strain’s ability to kill two birds with one stone. Pennywise CBD is a master of recreational and medical use.
