eurorack I'm starting a couple of CBD plants off and hoping for some good strong CBD weed to blend with high THC weed for a mellow Vape that sorts my nerve pain.
I will be soaking the seeds in water for 24 hours then probably planing straight into their final pots. I've given my tent a full wipe down with some sanitiser so I'm ready to go once something sprouts, I'll be trying 8L and 12L pots so I can see if the extra room benefits the growth.
Update: about 18 hours of soaking and all seeds show signs of sprouting so I have potted up into small pots.
All seedlings now out of the soil and no helmet heads.

eurorack Gladly all seeds sprouted well and I'll give them a short time in the small pots before transplanting to their full size pots. The weather is changing now so its cooler and humidity is dropping so it should be easier to control temperature and moisture as we go through autumn and into winter.

eurorack I've had the seedlings raised up in the tent on a Table but I think this may have caused some heat stress judging by the frilly leaves so the last couple of days I've been giving the tent a bit more ventilation and today I have removed the table so they pots are all on the floor 1m away from the light.
Hoping the most frilly Pink Kush doesn't take a turn for the worse, I could really use all the CBD I can get so hopefully the change in distance to light will be better.
Now the weather has come cooler in the UK it might be harder for me to keep a good night time temperature.

eurorack Re-potted these from their little starter pots, using 2 sizes of cloth pots, 8L and 12L to see if there is any difference in growth. Probably a moot point as that little Pink Kush runt looks a bit dodgy with its frilly leaves. They all started out a bit frilly which I think might be my night time temperature, I'll see how they do now they are all re-potted and maybe offset the light cycle to be on during the coldest part of the night rather than sticking with the 18/6 during normal day and night hours.

eurorack The Sweetseeds Red Pure Auto is going well, I've started the first bit of LST on it, pre-flowers already showing so I don't expect these to be big plants.
The Seedsman Pink Kush CBD plants are a bit behind, the best plant is getting some yellowing lower leaves and the stunted runty plant is still showing frilly leaves and hasn't grown as well, some pre-flowers also showing.
I was hoping for bumper crops from these plants so I have a full on CBD stash to blend with the Afghani #1 that made a big crop but isn't as good for my nerve pain without the CBD element. Its early days I guess but I need to see some stretch and filling out if I'm to get anywhere near the cropping I want.
Just water on these girls so far, there should be enough nutrients from the worm castings to be going on with. *Edit - Actually I've given them all a dose of Canna Rhizotonic and a little A+B on the two Pink Kush to see if it will give them a little push in the right direction*
Got any thoughts on these plants? Please let me know in the comments.

eurorack Flower sites on all plants are growing and multiplying, LST to all plants, full Canna nutes feed for all these this week at 2L per plant per week at the moment.
Pink Kush plants are definitely smaller.
Red Pure plants are growing well, the bigger pot seems to be the bigger plant which was what I'd hoped for.
Lighting from the Phlizon LED Light is mostly on the Max setting with the COB LEDs on and the plants seem to be loving the intensity.
Thanks
Seedsman Pink Kush CBD with frilly leaves, both seedlings started off with Frilly edged leaves but one of them has continued to push out frilly leaves, thoughts????
All plants in same soil mix, pretty good temp and humidity control at present,one of those Phenotype things?
eurorack Red Pure CBD - Growing pretty well, I'm thinking I have some deficiencies in these now that that have properly started pushing flowers out fast, I've dosed with PK13/14 and CalMag. We are getting some colour showing too.
Pink Kush CBD - Even the runt plant is growing though not as well as its neighbour or the Red Pure plants, lots of colours are coming out on the runt, colours on the better plant too but not quite as prominent.
Fingers crossed the PK and CalMag will sort the Red Pure leaves.

eurorack Pretty much the same state as last week, plants growing well, still have the runty Pink Kush plant but its pushing flowers out well and getting some good colour to it. Red Pure plants are growing great though one of them has some leaf spotting but its not seeming to hinder growth.
Nutes same as last week, only watering when I get a full finger-depth of dry Coir and checking with soil probe for pH and Moisture too, getting a regular pH7 in the soil, I've got some pH Down to add a drop into my tap water just to ensure I'm watering with the right pH.
Any hints on what this might be? Check the full diary for nutes and stuff, maybe time to stop the PK13/14 and CalMag now they have pushed a load of flowers out?
normal for a plant with only about 2 weeks left before they are done, leaves have a finite lifespan

eurorack Dealing with a few issues this week @m0use has been pointing me in the right direction.
Pink Kush (2 plants), I have that weird runty plant thats actually doing OK, the other Pink Kush is having some PK and pH issues which I'm starting to address.
Red Pure is showing what looks like a Nitrogen deficiency with slowly yellowing leaves.
Overall though buds are slowly fattening up, flowers look good and everything getting a nice sprinkling of sugar ;-)

eurorack A few close up shots to try see if the trichomes are changing, we have a few pistils turning brown now too.
I've been trying to sort a few leaf issues but I think I might be too late as these plants are nearing their predicted harvest times. Buds are fattening up nicely.

eurorack Just a hint of defoliation today pulling the worst looking leaves.
Pink Kush - I reckon this is close enough to harvest really, I've tried taking plenty of closeup photos today so I can try and check trichome progress.
Red Pure - Maybe a bit behind the Pink Kush.
I'll stick to pH corrected water only from now on, all plants get about 5L about once a week until I get a good run-off from each pot.
Smelling good too, I'm probably going to save my trim from these plants and make an extract from that as there is quite a bit of resin on the sugar leaves and leaves close to buds. Buds are pretty fat and solid so i could do with lowering the humidity a bit really.
I was hoping to have this grow all done with and drying before Christmas
I had a few nutrient issues but these plants grew great, smell great too. The taste of a quick-dried bud has loads of juicy fruit / berries going on on the Vape, very nice. No psychoactive effects at all on this, the Vape of this give a light feeling of something but its too vague to pinpoint, must be heavy on the CBD.

eurorack Massive harvest from the 2 Red Pure CBD plants, the main colas are super chunky and firm.
28 DEC 22 - Dry Trim photos added. Again this stuff smells great.
I had one weird plant out of the two seeds i grew, very compact, smell great. A mellow smoke (Vape) very smooth, woody, nutty, kinda the softness of cream.

eurorack Got a good amount from these 2 plants, smells great, I'd probably not grow again if I'm completely honest. Though I do have a seed left so I will grow it at some point.
28 DEC 22 - Added Pink Kush CBD dry trimmed photos. Smells great.
I've been experimenting with this now, Taking a few hits of the CBD weed some hours before any THC weed make the THC high extended and increased.
When using a 50:50 blend of CBD:THC weed the CBD greatly lowers and shortens the high, I'm not saying this is a bad thing.
Thoughts?
I can't address your questions directly, but perhaps you find this interesting; I read this book recently: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Cannabis-seeing-through-smoke-Science/dp/1529360498
It's written by a British professor who has quite some experience in the field of marijuana (and psychedelics), I can recommend it to anyone interested in reading up on impacts on health of smoking marijuana and (to a limited extend) the combination of THC and CBD in marijuana strains.
According to the book, most of the research that has been done on the effects of marijuana on health have been on strains containing <12% THC and up to 4% CBD. Much of this research concludes a limited negative impact on health and even positive impact in some cases, and if I remember correctly most of the positive impact come from the combination of CBD and THC. Though many of the strains today contain materially more THC (up to ~24%) with negligible amounts of CBD, which seem to introduce/increase potential negative impacts (though not much research has been done on these high THC low CBD strains).
I'm sharing this because after reading the book I decided to switch to strains with lower THC and relatively more CBD to avoid any negative impact (as I've been smoking quite some bit during the pandemic). As it's hard to find strains containing CBD and low THC in my area I decided to take CBD drops while smoking. I haven't directly noticed a huge difference, but this was more due to the poor/inconsistent quality of marijuana available to me - which is why I've started growing myself. The book led me to decide to focus on strains with max ~12% THC and at least some CBD as to limit any potential negative impact.
High eurorack, I used to vape CBD (mostly by day) and smoke THC joints (mostly at night). They say that when you are mixing CBD and THC you will get something known as the entourage effect. The entourage effect is the idea that cannabinoids work better together, instead of apart.
I personally do like to use them seporated and not to mix them up. Because I like the high from my spliff and the CBD is making the high less strong. But I can imagen that for some people that like a mild high it could be an outcome.
Everyone got his/her personal prefference and the most important thing is that this beautiful plant can give everyone his/her perfect high!
Enjoy getting high folks!
CBD attaches to the same cannabinoid receptors that THC does so in theory it will reduce your high because they will block thc from attaching to the receptors that the CBD attaches to.
