Cinex Strain

What Is the Cinex Strain?

Cinex weed is a cross of Vortex and Cinderella and is a Sativa-dominant (60%) hybrid. It hasn’t taken long for this strain to become a firm favorite in the medical marijuana community. Cinex has a taste that appeals to even the most discerning of palates.

There is confusion over the identity of the breeder. Some believe Coastal Cannabis, a Washington breeder, created it. This company has bred several Cannabis Cup winning strains. Another theory suggests that CannaMan Farms, another Washington state breeder, created it.

We are not 100% sure because information on this strain is not easy to come by. Even the Vortex creator, TGA Genetics, does not have any information about Cinex on its website.

Cinex has been heralded as a great ‘wake and bakes strain. It can boost your focus and provide a burst of energy similar to what a cup of coffee offers. Cinex may even enhance creativity. This is why Cinex is such a favorite of musicians and artists. It is the ideal strain to use during the day because it enables you to operate with a clear mind.

In many ways, Cinex is the ideal Sativa because of how it affects users. The high can last for several hours. If you feel tired in the morning or sluggish in the afternoon, take a few tokes of Cinex. Soon enough, you’ll be ready to get back to work.

Aroma

Hold Cinex close to your nose, and you get the distinct scent of honey with an underlying smell of hay. Once you light a joint with this strain, you will get a skunky sweet scent with citrus hints.

Flavor

You get a citrus flavor along with a skunky sweet and sour taste with the merest hint of lemon. We recommend vaping Cinex at a fairly low temperature to get the best flavor profile.

Appearance

A healthy nug of Cinex is a joy to behold. Its clear, the powerful green hue is accompanied by orange hairs that adorn the sides.

Cinex Strain Grow Info

Rather than using Cinex seeds, you need to use clones to get the best out of this strain. It is classified as an ‘easy’ strain to grow at home. You get the best results from growing it indoors using a hydroponics setup or a greenhouse if you have enough space. The Sea of Green (SOG) method is one way to create a beautiful canopy. You need to trim Cinex plants regularly, but it is easy to do so.

When you grow it indoors, the flowering time of Cinex is between 7 and 9 weeks. You can expect a yield of approximately 19 ounces per each square meter you plant. Overall, Cinex thrives in daytime temperatures of between 65- and 80-degrees Fahrenheit. However, it can survive in slightly colder temperatures.

It is a fast-growing strain. If you decide to cultivate it outdoors, it is usually ready for harvest by the beginning of October. When grown outside, Cinex’s yield is approximately 16 ounces per plant. In the first few weeks of the vegetative stage, feed with elevated levels of nitrogen. This practice ensures the plants are strong and healthy before you force them into the flowering stage.

THC Content – Highest Test

Cinex is very strong, with some tests recording a THC content of over 25%! Most dispensaries will sell Cinex strains with a THC level of around 22%. Please note that you will begin to feel the strong euphoric high within 3-4 minutes of use.

CBD Content – Highest Test

We have heard of Cinex strains achieving a CBD content of up to 0.4%. In general, however, it has less than 0.1% CBD. If you come across a strain with just 0.05% CBD and a THC content over 22%, the THC to CBD ratio is over 400:1. Consequently, you can expect Cinex to hit you fast – and early!

Medical Benefits of the Cinex Strain

Cinex has a robust terpene profile, which helps explain its potential medical benefits. The main terpenes found in Cinex include limonene, beta-caryophyllene, and alpha-pinene. Here is a little bit of information on what each terpene can do for you:

• Limonene: Believed to improve mood by reducing stress, anxiety, and depression.
• Beta-Caryophyllene: Could relieve stress, reduce inflammation, and tackle pain.
• Alpha-Pinene: Possibly helps improve your focus and take the edge off THC’s effects.

While each terpene is capable of causing specific effects, it isn’t quite as simple as that. First of all, there is the small matter of the ‘entourage effect.’ This theory suggests that terpenes and cannabinoids work better together. Terpenes and cannabinoids react differently depending on their combinations and the amount of each in any given marijuana strain.

The combination of cannabinoids and terpenes in Cinex means it is used for several mental disorders, including PTSD and ADHD. It is also a favorite of patients with chronic stress, depression, and fatigue.

Possible Side Effects of the Cinex Strain

Cinex is an extremely potent marijuana strain, so be wary when using it for the first time. Uncomfortable side effects include dry eyes and cottonmouth, and it may also lead to mild dehydration. If you are a nervous individual, using too much Cinex may increase anxiety and perhaps cause paranoia. Users have also reported minor headaches, although that could be a symptom of dehydration.

Final Thoughts on the Cinex Cannabis

When a marijuana strain comes from famous parents, the bar is set extremely high. Fortunately, Cinex exceeds expectations. It is a fantastic daytime or early evening strain. It is a good option if you want a smoke before socializing. Cinex could provide a boost in energy and creativity, and its citrus taste is very refreshing.

Even experienced users should go easy on Cinex the first time they use it. It is very potent and could cause a few unpleasant side effects if you overdo it.
