What kind of strain is Crescendo #11?
Historically popular in the medical cannabis community, Crescendo #11 is often consumed to help with chronic aches and pains, migraines and headaches, glaucoma and other eye issues, and habitual anxiety or stress.
But don’t let those serious credentials make you think this strain isn’t recreational friendly. With its silly, chatty, and joyful effects, Crescendo #11 creates a unique sense of play and energetic uplift that make it excellent for recreational consumption.
Strain Type: Indica-Dominant Hybrid
Indica-heavy genetics—70% to be precise—are responsible for Crescendo #11’s uplifting, euphoric, and energizing effects.
But with 30% sativa, the uplift never gets too buzzy, and the experience is grounded with a warm, tingly sense of full-body ease.
Lineage
Sometimes described as Crescendo’s little sister, Crescendo #11 has everything that makes Crescendo great—and more.
Crescendo senior was created by crossbreeding three legendary strains—ChemDawg, I-95, and Mandarin Cookies—for a delicious and powerful experience. Crescendo #11 packs all of that goodness into a single bud for a truly unique sensation.
How does Crescendo #11 make you feel?
With tasty flavors and an intriguing aroma, Crescendo #11 has a way of sneaking up on you. As you begin to indulge, the high will settle in slowly, gradually filling your body with a pleasant sensation similar to a weighted blanket.
As those physical sensations intensify, the mental uplift arrives. Tingly, pleasant sensations will spread through your mind, making you feel giggly and soothed. You might want to chat with friends during this stage, or put on some good music and let your imagination soar.
Toward the tail end of the high, the physical sensations will deepen into a relaxing, tingly, and warm feeling, almost like soaking in an invisible hot tub. Settle in and stretch out as bliss spreads through your body and delight fills your mind.
THC Potency
With a moderately high THC average of around 18%, Crescendo #11 is no lightweight—but it also isn’t one of those mega THC bomb strains that leads to easy overwhelm.
Enjoy powerful but never overblown experience, with an irresistible onset of sensations that will leave you soothed without leading to couchlock. It’s the perfect strain to indulge in when you still need to get things done.
Strain Aromas
Crescendo #11’s potent aroma hints to the good times ahead. The bouquet is complex, with green, herbaceous, and botanical notes reminiscent of a cup of soothing herbal tea. Notes of spicy, sour diesel complete the aromatic profile.
Strain Flavor
Breathe deep when you smoke Crescendo #11, and you’ll almost imagine you’re savoring a great cup of espresso. You’ll taste coffee along with sweet and spicy sensations of cinnamon and clove. Exhale, and a light, sweet touch of flowery rose comes in, intriguing and delighting the palette.
