Elektra CBD Review
In order for Elektra to be considered CBD flower and legal for sale in all 50 states, you need to verify that the lab result is showing .3% or less of Delta-9 THC. Anything above .3% is considered cannabis and cannot be sold as CBD.
Note — Only the Delta-9 THC needs to be .3% of less. The total THC may be higher since it also contains Delta-8 THC.

Aroma
Elektra is sweet and tropical with a hint of pine in its first scents. Imaging freshly cut mango with a side of orange slices in a pine forrest…
It’s one of the most aromatic and unapologetic CBD strains on the market. As soon as you pop the bag open you get the waves of tropical thunder coming towards you. Once the first wave settles, you’ll get deeper notes of coffee, jasmine blossoms and chocolate.
Visuals
Elektra nugs are medium sized, dense buds in shades of deep vivid green. If grown correctly, they can become quite sticky to the touch thanks to the trichome formation that builds up all over the buds.
Elektra often has dark orange hairs that stick out form the buds.
Buy Elektra CBD Online
You’ll find that a lot of vendors sell Elektra since it’s such a popular strain (almost as popular as Special Sauce). You can find indoor growers as well as outdoor growers who sell the strain.
If you are a connoisseur or a person who loves smoking both THC and CBD flower, that we recommend you picking an indoor version of Elektra. Indoor CBD flower will be more aromatic and potent than outdoor but more expensive.
Most people however, will be more than happy to smoke a more affordable high quality outdoor grown flower.
You can think of it as buying wine. Some discerning buyers want a $50 bottle while most of us are happy with a good $10 bottle.

Green Unicorn Farms
Elektra by GU Farms is an extremely smooth and aromatic CBD strain. It’s potent yet smooth and the effects are slow-creeping and absolutely wonderfully uplifting. You feel the effects in your head pretty fast with a sense of focus and relaxation.
The initial feeling is at the crown of the head before moving to the neck and back. A few minutes after the first hit the sensation rests beautifully behind the eyes.
Highly recommended!
