Effects of high THCV content are unusual. I found the most useful trait is anti-anxiety / anti-paranoid. By itself, Novarine THCV is not good for recreational use. On the other hand, Novarine blended with other strong Sativa is offer great high without the negatives. And the most popular effect would be hunger suppression for dieting. I definitely do not recommend Novarine for recreational use. There will no medicinal benefits as in other cannabis. Novarine THCV is a specific medicine. It is excellent weoght losing tool without negative effects of methamphetamine drugs. Another intersting aspect is reducing paranoid and anxiety. This could be from from weed induced or post traumatic events. On the ohter hand, Novarine won’t get you very high. My over all rating is an 8 Effect – 7 for unique effects but Novarine is not for ever one. Ease of grow – 8. Easy enough for outdoor with strong tolerances to host of things. For in-door, she needs constant management with long internode distance. Ease of flowering – 10. Wonderfully easy to manage. Smell – lovely 9. On smoking experience, the effects from all three plants were similar. Smells were different but all were good. During grow, flowers fragrance was fruity mango. Then as they cured, marvelous smell from different phenotypes emerged. Plant 1 and 3 are cure to sweet fruity mango. Smell like candy African/Thai hybrid Sativa. And plant 2 has classic Thai ganja with fruity, hawthorn berry. Taste was fairly smooth and earthy with a tinge of spicy anise. The high from all Navarine phenotypes are similar and not like any other weeds. And high seemed to come in two phases. At first, the effect started out by a good head whacking with a bit of dizzy ness. Eight to ten percent THCV is very strong. The hit was quick but euphoria is mild. Felt like my heart was beating faster but I was not hyperactive. This phase lasted for about two hours. Then, there was no hunger and no thirst. Novarine was not quite an appetite suppressor. It stops hunger but you can eat just fine. I smoked before lunch. Normally if lunch comes late, I would have hunger fit. My hands would be shaking and my mouth drooling. But with Novarine, I did not feel it. Nor did I get the cannabis thirst or parched mouth. And after smoking Novarine for two hours, I still was not hungry. By midafternoon, I thought that I better eat. Then, I enjoyed my lunch just fine. No loss of healthy appetite. So, Novarine does not help with gluttony. If you want to enjoy food and sweet, it won’t stop you. Another wier part is that Novarine did not lift my mood. There was no giggling, no craziness. And I know where I was and what I was doing. Time passed by normally. And I was focused. I was doing things and conscious on how I was doing them. I mechanically followed routines and was not bored. I was all business. And Novarine did not make me more sociable. Novarine also causes mild obsession. Once I started to do one thing, it was hard to switch doing one things and move to another task. Would be good for people with attention deficit issue. In this aspect, Novarine gives focus but not chilling out. I think Novarine would be good for repetitive Hufflepuff task or burn session the thread mill. I can just keep going at one same pace for a very long time. And it would be great for aggressive sports like boxing and football. Novarine is the weed to ignore hunger and pain. After the third hour, I transitioned to the second phase of the high. Mild euphoria crept in. I was finally in a good mood and chilling out. Only then, I became more friendly and started to smile. Total high lasted more than 5 hours. And much later in the evening, I was able to sleep well. A friend with weight issued decarbed Novarine with 150 C temperature. And she infused Novarine with coconut oil. She takes about 15 drops of 10% concentration oil before her big meal. And she is ecstatic about losing her stubborn weight. She is a real fan. With weak euphoria, Novarine is not a good recreational weed. And I got mild high, and it was not clear headed sort of high. Investigating Novarine other supposed other effects, there are; reduciton of anxiety, lowering of blood sugar, anti-Alzheimer, and promoting bone growth. Well, I am not willing to break bones to prove that part. Sinc It did not lift my mood, I tried Novarine with crazy paranoid inducing Sativa. I blend a quarter of Novarine weed with three quarter Zamaldelica. Zamaldelica is a head scrabling strong Sativa with way up high including temporal anomaly zone out warp. I meant to have 2% THCV in the smoke mix. This would be higher than other β€œhigh-THCV” strain that I had. The resuting effect was great. I got good high without being over hyper, all positive vibe without the nagging feeling. The hit quick and strong. I smoked this blend in the evening and went to bed happy. On the other hand, with the blend, I got thirsty with cotton mouth. For the sake of thoroughness, I blended Novarine with Indica dominant White Critical. This usually comes slow with couch lock stone effect. Blended THCV let the high started quicker. I was active for the first two hours. High was less and it was not a good thing. Then later, the knockout came hard and I slept well. I don’t see any benefit from blending Novarine with Indica.

Harvest was not as it should be. This grow was β€œoff season. And I did not let the plant reached full harvest potential for fear of mold during thunder storm season. Plant 1 yielded 46 grams, one and a half ounces Plant 2 yielded 57 grams, two ounces Plant 3 yielded 30 grams, One ounce Each plant grew differently. Plant 1 and plant 3 were slim Sativa type. They stretched tall without much root and branches. The internode distance was about 8 inches, 20 cm. Plant 2 develop better bush. She was still a tall Sativa but the internode distance was less at 6 inch, 15 cm. My preferred phenotype is plant 2. Plant 2 yielded the most with nice berry smell. She branches better with more volume in her flowers Novarine grows like a Thai plant would. Flowering is easier and shorter than a land race Thai. My impression of growing Novarine: Light feeding, top and train very early, trim to lollipop shapes. The sucker branches are tiny larf. These small branches are not only total waste of time but are also disease magnets. My impression on Novarine THCV growing characteristics. Highly tolerance of mold even in tropical raining season. Highly tolerance of insect and strong but not strongest tolerance to mites. I think the long inter-node distance helps with both insect and mold tolerance. But Novarine needs hep with trimming. There are too many suckers branches. High tolerance against sogging wet soil from three straight days pouring rain. However, I do use very airy coconut husks and grow in basket. I also use mycorrhizae and purslane companion plants to help feed the roots. In my set up, Novarine like only light dose of phosphate and phosphoruous. The leaves get yellow withing a day of bat guano. Novarine is tolerance to high pH. They were okay at 6.8 pH range. I should aim at 6.2-6.5. Novarine clones easily enough. And there are plenty of small branches during trimming.

I think those high temps can be great (though certain strains just cannot cope well), but then coupled with LOTS of lighting (including ambient), carbon and pretty "hot" soil mineral/nutrient rich soil (to kinda maximize efficiency). Kind of a tricky balance though. But I mean, when that "donkey dong" thing (Rose Quartz) grew here, it got super hot there. Some days the temps would be like around 38c, but the air temperature in the area it was growing was insane, I mean absolutely insane, because of all the reflective walls around it. Like 70c air temps in late summer/start of autumn there. Couple of minutes there and I'd be losing liters of water. No idea how the plants managed, but they did, grew large, potent as well.

And bizarrely, I just check some info about Galinsoga, it's sunflower family (asters) and I did mention the kaurenoic acid of sunflowers... But this is interesting (regarding your son)... "Galinsoga also has some medicinal uses as a topical treatment for nettle stings and for coagulating blood in minor cuts. " Maybe as a food/supplement it could have similar systemic effects.
sir_isO
sir_isO
@Med_in_Tropic That's kinda interesting, I think i've used purslane once or twice (quite a while ago) in a "tea". Regarding your water mention, shit, there's this very common plant, Galinsoga, grows stupid fast, very efficient...but I don't specifically know much about it. Anyway, while soaking a big ass avocado seed in water and it taking super long, I decided to throw a bit of soil in the water...so 3 weeks later, I check a bunch of Galinsogas seedlings floating in the water. I figure, well that's pretty interesting. So I check the sediment at the bottom of the little cup, and I shit you not, like the things rooted and are growing ENTIRELY underwater, with practically no light. They are NOT aquatic plants. I ain't seen shit like that.

@sir_isO, I do blen charred rice husk in my mix. My issue is absorbtion. Did try adding pottassium phosphate with citric acid yesterday. In a week, I would be able to notice the result. My soil is well fertilized with earth worm casting. And I am experimenting with two spicies of purslane. Trying my third species. Getting flowering purslane seemed to be the easiest. The flowering type grows faster. But I like my beach purslane. When I collected these beach purlane, they were under sea water. I think I can get them to be my organic pottassium factory. I'll see if I can just feed them with heavy dose of pottassium salts and then chop them up later.

Sugars for acidity/microbial activity could help. I'd kinda look at epsom salts too, considering the look of those plants (not only for the magnesium, coz you're in heavy rain area sulphur tends to go away, from what I know), but yeah... You'll figure it out. Good luck.

Yeah that purslane is a bit different looking to the stuff that grew/grows here. A bit more stretchy seemingly...but anyway, hope it has some kind of benefit. And yeah, at least the purslane that grows here has almost insignificant surface roots only. It certainly didn't hurt the plants it grew with here (and it seemed to keep some more annoying things away, as it was completely open area but practically zero ground related pest issues, weeds, etc) Interesting that the rice char was "bad" there, simply too alkaline mix, not "loaded"? The thing about using stuff like char is you have to kinda "temper" it before using, so you might mix it with some soil, throw a bunch of milk, fertilizer, molasses, etc at it, let it "age" for at least a few days, and maybe try to get an idea of the acidity fluctuation/stability before using it for proper grow. Cheers, hope it goes well.
sir_isO
sir_isO
@Med_in_Tropic, Yeah, sure if it's composted (assuming it's not just rice husk) then it really shouldn't be particularly alkaline.

@sir_isO, well, chatted rice husk is still a good source of silica. Composting it before use seemed to be the way.

@Med_in_Tropic, 3rd version is thai version with different thai landraces in it. all you can do is to buy older version of GT and wish yourself luck to get a malawi dominant pheno πŸ˜ƒ I'm away from my GT buds, on a trip and I've taken only a little bit of A5 with me. I'll be back to GT in a week or so and make a review about it.
Med_in_Tropic
Med_in_Tropic
@HighRoller909, I want to grow Golden Tiger anyway. I need a bit of pure Sativa every now and then. A bit confuse about different versions of GT. I am from Thailand and I don't like the high land Thai genetics. In general, Thai is cheap bag weed where I am at. And Aftrican is exotic to me. πŸ˜ƒπŸ˜ƒπŸ˜ƒπŸ˜ƒπŸ˜ƒ As it is, Ace does not ship to Thailand and I have to go through some agents. And no agent carry the full Ace range. My dream weed to try is GT/Panama cross. My season to order is in June. Also had payment issue this year and was not able to order this 4/20. Oh well, it is not the season and I have plenty of clones to play with. If I don't change mh mind, I'll start GT early July.

That plant looks interesting, like it wants to be in a larger space, more light. Dunno how large those grow, but it looks like grows large. It certainly doesn't look bad, but there's some considerable stretch there, seemingly. I reckon it might be super efficient. Interesting that you noticed the leaf colour improving with purslane, I mean I've not actually compared something like that, it just seemed to be nice with the weed plants when it grew with them. Could it be that the purslane acts as a sort of rain buffer at the top soil, so less nutrient runoff/flushing? It's also possible the purslane sort of stimulates tryptophan related bacteria and root exudants, as tryptophan is precursor for melatonin, and purslane makes quite a bit of it. The fact that it can root from even a small piece of the leaves probably also means it has peculiar hormonal stuff.

@Med_in_Tropic, I'm not so big on alfalfa tbh. I think there are better additions, especially if you already use kelp stuff. For me it's like, sunflower, amaranth (coz of their behaviour and uniqueness)... Also gotta be careful with where you source alfalfa, a lot of it is kinda "crap", chemically treated and whatnot.

sir_isO
@Med_in_Tropic, I think a potentially good "fertilizer" or composting plant, for a number of reasons, could be amaranth. They are also quite peculiar, imo. Squalene, being one reason why. Amino acid balance, another. Like even a mix of hemp and amaranth seed flour could be quite good...

@eurorack, THCV actually helps me with diet. I can stop reaching for snacks in the evening especially after dinner. Yeah, doesn't give as mush of the happy vibe. There is one guy is actually a fan of THCV. And he bought most of my THCV buds. This guy is a body builder. After his body fat gets low, he has trouble sleeping. Other weeds made him lazy. THCV weed let him sleep then get up and train for body building competition. These days, I infused THCV to oil and take a couple of drops in the evening. Less weed hang over in the morning. And I see that RQS came out with high THCV. May try to grow it next year.

Thanks @sativaman, As always, i get my ideas from here. These were from @GYOweed. And same as you do, i looked these up on the internet. This time, I ventured so far and went into β€œscholar” section. Painful reading πŸ˜€πŸ˜€πŸ˜€ Then there are a few you tube vids o how to mix. Finally i looked up a few shopping webs and get the cheapest source. I thin Note Brassinolide concentration claim is by the seller. Manufacturer(s?) guaranteed concentration at minimum 0.1%. So dose can vary. It depends how you guess the concentration. And on these, little goes very long way. 5 grams makes 50 bottles of 2-liter spray. Literally cost only a few pennies per dose.

@Med_in_Tropic, The blue widow was to me a 50/50 sort of effect (but we're still talking 20%+ thc sort of thing) with excellent yield, very tough plant, it was pollinated by a monstrous sativa and a sort of oversized afghan kush kind of plant. So I got quite a few phenotypes from it, some of it smells utterly amazing. The one I'm currently growing is very clearly from the sativa male parent as pollinator, most of the seeds are from the kush male parent (which was rather large... it was funny, coz I ripped it out of a big pot, literally just pulled it out of the soil, and then kinda forced it into a 20l, it just kept on producing for months).

Hey dude, random-ish mention. In Tropics, sub-tropics, phosphorus mobility is HEAVILY affected by citric acid. And I notice that's a common problem with plants grown in those areas (they don't bulk easily). Just figured I'd mention that as a reminder. Sure, other things are also involved, but it's one of the more fundamental, easier to address factors. Citric acid is good as both soil drench and/or foliar spray (though as foliar spray it ain't gonna aid phosphorus uptake, good antifungal and such though), depending on conditions, circumstance.
sir_isO

@Med_in_Tropic, Dunno if I linked this... https://www.researchgate.net/publication/50514198_Citric_acid_enhances_the_mobilization_of_organic_phosphorus_in_subtropical_and_tropical_forest_soils "Soil samples tested in this study were collected from either native or plantation forests in subtropical and tropical Australia with 16–87% of soil total P being in organic form. At a concentration of 10 mM organic acid kgβˆ’1 soil, all three organic acids did not enhance the release of inorganic P as compared with water, whereas the three organic acids displayed different capacities in mobilizing organic P. Citric acid significantly enhanced the solubilization of organic P by 34.7% as compared with water; whereas no significant differences were observed in the mobilization of organic P among maleic acid, oxalic acids, and water. The amount of organic P solubilized by citric acid was not correlated with soil pH but increased with increasing soil organic P as the values were below 200 mg kg.βˆ’1"

If it doesn’t make people paranoid, i think there will be another crowd for this cannabantoid, Plus it is super to be good against prostrate cancer.

Thanks @sativaman. FF7 is a fast flowering photo period. It was one of test grow projects from Fastbuds last year. After several grow, i liked anx kept only this strain. Fastbuds haven’t launch this yet. Maybe they won’t sell photo period at all. (???). They did pump out several autos after test grows. My lime bushes are mostly Mexican lime. One variety is hystrix citrus l We used these for Thai food and hair treatment. It takes at least a lyear to fruit. Flower starts with root grow. So the get big and is best for out door in North American hot zone. Southern California, Texas, and Florida. I grow flowers and spices long before ganja.

@HighRoller909, it also depends on the strain. Cold climate Indica and expression of Rudelaris genes won’t tolerate this heat. Navarine is said to be from a Thai variant. So she grew lijes anative.
