Cannatrek’s T21 Tilba Flower Review | AusCannaReviews

Cannatrek’s T21 Tilba is the cultivar BFL#9 (Britney’s Frozen Lemons) a special 'pheno run' of Capulator’s Frozen Lemons and is a cross between Fruity Pebbles OG and Cap’s Frozen Lemons. Canna Reviews and honahlee have Tilba listed as <3% CBG and 21% THC. However, when looking at Tilba’s COA, the total THC is listed as 23.6%. Her dominant terpenes are Terpinolene, Caryophyllene, Bisabolol, Linalool, and Myrcene.

Fruity Pebbles OG bred by Alien Genetics in April 2012, was originally released in limited-edition seed packs. These seed packs were hard to come by and could cost anywhere between $1,000 - $1,500 USD. Fruity Pebbles OG’s mother plant was a cross between Granddaddy Purple and Green Ribbon. This mother plant was subsequently bred with Tahoe Alien, a cross between Tahoe OG and Alien Kush.

Fruity Pebbles OG was renowned for its sweet tropical scent and flavour coupled with a strong body high. She is typically high in Myrcene, Limonene, and Pinene and is recommended for people suffering from migraines, anxiety, depression, pain, and insomnia.

We covered Cap’s Frozen Lemons a few weeks back when I reviewed MedCan’s FZL01 Frozen Lemons. However, to quickly refresh your memory… Frozen Lemons is a cross between Freezerburn and Lemon Fire F3. Her dominant terpenes are Carene, Pinene, and Bisabolol. She is recommended for people suffering from migraines, anxiety, stress, depression, fatigue and appetite loss or nausea.

Review

I requested Cannatrek’s Tilba for two reasons… She is one of the few cultivars currently on the Australian market that is high in Terpinolene and I really enjoyed MedCan’s Frozen Lemons.

(Terpinolene is quickly becoming one of my favourite terpenes and shameless plug… I’ll be doing a deep dive into its awesomeness next week for July’s Terpene of the Month.)

Opening my 10-gram tub of Cannatrek’s T21 Tilba (batch 230418), two things hit me right away: its super lemony aroma and the size of the flowers. The large dark green buds were firm, dense, and evenly coated in stigmas and trichomes but could’ve been trimmed better.

I can admit I was initially seduced by the size of the flowers, they looked beautiful when I first tipped them out but sadly Tilba didn’t pass the Sticky Icky Test. Ultimately only the smaller buds had any stick to them and now almost three weeks later even with a Boveda humidity pack in the tub, the buds are dry and brittle with minimal smell.

Starting at 170C Tilba is smooth and lemony but a little harsh on the back of the throat towards 200C. Her effects come on quickly; she is energetic on the front end but clearheaded and focused on the back end.

Tilba is a nice way to start the day when paired with my morning coffee and writing the day’s to-do list. But unlike MedCan’s Frozen Lemons, this wasn’t a cultivar I could enjoy all day. On days that I had exceeded three dosing caps (each dosing cap is 0.15 of a gram) by mid-morning, I developed a slight headache later that afternoon. I’m not 100% sure there is a correlation there. However, as someone who suffers from migraines, I do everything I can to avoid getting a headache, so even though I enjoyed Cannatrek’s Tilba this isn’t a medication I’ll refill.
