Best Weed for Tension & Stress: White Truffle Strain

Cannabis is well known for its stress-reducing and tension-relieving properties, but no variety provides quite the same level of relief as the White Truffle strain. This mellow, Indica-dominant hybrid is the perfect choice for anyone looking to unwind and relax after a long day. 

Due to the rising costs (and adverse side effects) of pharmaceutical medications designed to treat anxiety, many people are choosing to grow White Truffle at home to ensure they always have affordable and easy access to relief.

Check out our detailed guide on how to grow White Truffle yourself and learn more about the fantastic benefits of this popular and relaxing cannabis strain.

White Truffle Strain Cannabinoid Profile

Growers providing the right nutrients, semi-humid environments, ample lighting, and warm temperatures can expect their plants to yield beautiful buds containing a range of potent cannabinoids and plant compounds.

For starters, the strain boasts an average 25% THC concentration — higher than its parent strains, Gorilla Glue and Peanut Butter Breath. Meanwhile, its CBD content is typically below 1%. This means users can expect effects triggered by CB1 receptors in the brain, such as relaxation, euphoria, and lessened anxiety.

As a 70:30 Indica/Sativa hybrid, this strain, properly grown, of course, contains energizing cannabinoids such as CBG and CBC. These two minor cannabinoids provide uplifting and creative effects popular for daytime users of the strain.

In addition to its cannabinoids, the strain also contains an array of terpenes, including myrcene (relaxation), caryophyllene (anti-inflammatory), and limonene (anti-anxiety). Together, these compounds create a unique and effective entourage effect that further enhances White Truffle’s soothing properties.

This strain also contains small amounts of flavonoids — compounds that boast antioxidant effects as well as other potential benefits like improved mood and mental clarity.

White Truffle Growing Tips

To ensure the large, olive green buds grow abundantly with white trichomes, brown hairs, and dark purple hues, growers should take extra care in cultivating this strain over the 60 to 64 days it takes to reach full maturity.

For best results, White Truffle should be grown in a semi-humid environment with temperatures around 72°F to 80°F and high nitrogen levels for the vegetative stage. 

During the flowering process, you can switch to phosphorus and potassium-rich nutrients as well as adjust environmental factors like airflow and light intensity to accommodate its specific needs.

Harvesting in mid-October is ideal for White Truffle, as it will yield the highest quantity of top-quality buds. After collecting the plants, curing and drying them for a few weeks is wise to ensure optimal terpene and cannabinoid concentration before use.

Plants grown indoors tend to yield slightly less of the highly resinous buds than outdoor-grown ones, but as long as all environmental conditions are met, a decent yield of 14 to 17 ounces of flower per square meter is the usual harvest amount.
