- Strain:
I've been looking for a 1:1 CBD strain, which I've never tried before. Prefering Sativa-dominant with low THC% for reduced psychoactive effects.
CBD Auto Compassion Lime, a 2017 cup winner with its 8-9% CBD/THC content, ended up being my choice. Very curious about the results.
- Soil:
Past experiences were in living soil, trying coco coir for the first time.
- Germination:
Inserted seeds in Bio Tabs soil plugs which were insterted in in 300ml solo cups of coco coir, all sokaded in 5.9 adjusted demineralized water with CaMg and various stimulators for testing.
- Plan:
Observe and keep the strongest for full grow.
🌱 Week 1 Updates:
- Anna & Diana: Doing well.
- Kati & Rosie: Not looking good, no clue why.
- Lili: Struggling to break free, didn't helped her, ended up 👽.
- Elie: Seems to be going downward.
Note: preparing living soil (for next grow) under the peace of wood.
🌱 Week 3 Updates: Transplant
- Anna & Diana: Settled into 8-liter pots. All going fine.
- Lili: Still good in her solo cup, developed some algaes on roots due to transparent cup, gonna put tape all around the cup.
🌱 Week 6 Updates:
- Anna & Diana: Not sure what's going on, doing each waterings at pH 5.9 with 10/20% runoff, it went down to 4.5 -.-
I have read that trying adjusting runoff pH in coco is chasing 👻👻, anyway - gave a flush at 5.8.
- Lili: More pale than her sisters. Applied Boom Boom spray to give her a quick nitrogen boost 🚀.
🌱 Week 7 Updates:
- Anna: Doing well. Still some nutrient imbalances, but under control. pH/EC runoff are in the good ranges.
- Dianna: Going fine. Runoff EC spiked to 2.07; planning a gentle flush with half input EC.
- Lili: greener foliage came back, still budding well in her cup.
🌱 Week 8 Updates:
- Anna and Diana:
Noticed a cool touch of purple and the appearance of oval-shaped leaves ✨.
Despite watering twice daily and ensuring +20% runoff, the EC is climbing, gonna give a gentle flush again.
- Lili:
Just chilling in her cup, observing her bigger sisters.
PS: Camera's been upgraded.
🌱 Week 9 Updates:
Anna: Horror Story 😱
Spotted bud rot on the big main cola, had to decapitate her. Hoping I removed it all and it's not spreading; doing daily checks. Other than that, things seem to be going well.
Diana: Odd Beauty 👽
She is foxtailing quite a lot. Have read that this trait is relatively common in the CBD Compassion genetics.
Lili: Small Wonder ✨
She have a big and nice main cola compared to her size. Also, her odor is quite surprising compared to her sisters's lemon scents, leaning more towards forest and pepper.
🌱 Week 10 Updates:
Leaves going pale green and slightly yellow - clear signs of senescence.
- Anna: Showing a good amount of amber trichomes there and there.
- Diana: Predominantly milky trichomes with some amber.
- Lili: Going well, trichome status not checked.
Plan:
As CBD does not decompose into CBN as fast as THC, I suppose that I'm on the good track for a balanced end product.
Let's start the flush of the tree sister's crew next week!
Flushing coco to EC 0.2 using FlashClean and then plain water went well overall, with leaves fading quite rapidly. I would have liked to let it go further, but I discovered a few nanners on Diana (see the last picture). No big deal - it's time to chop. Overall, both Hanna and Diana may have gotten a bit too much light, but they still look good. Meanwhile, little Lili is looking quite impressive 💚.
Being sensitive to THC, I was looking for a strain with a more balanced CBD/THC ratio of 1-1 and moderate concentration levels. CBD Auto Compassion Lime provided a different experience than I anticipated. Instead of the overwhelming thought storms that I usually experience with THC-based strains, it led to a more introspective psychoactive effect. This was easier to manage, allowing me time to process my thoughts, though it was still somewhat challenging for me. Based on this experience, I plan to explore strains with even lower THC content (<0.x%) for my next grow. This strain should definitely be suitable for those who are looking for a balanced experience.
My growing session with CBD Auto Compassion Lime was driven by my quest to find a strain with a more balanced THC/CBD ratio due to my sensitivity to higher THC levels. This experience confirmed my need to avoid THC-dominant strains. Despite this, I still find growing cannabis to be a rewarding hobby. Seeing the plants flourish under my care is both fulfilling and a mindful practice.
Regarding my experience on GrowDiaries, I've found the platform to be abundant in resources and brimming with interesting information. The community is welcoming and always ready to share knowledge. I appreciated the opportunity to share my grows and learn from others here.
@Cronos, That could be environmentally influenced (light/radiation/temperature) but it isn't uncommon that it happens. Keep her green mate, she looks nice😎
I think I might be a bit like you, I blend my weed strains so about 50% of the mix is always a strong CBD-only strain, I don't mind being whacked off my head occasionally but normally I simply enjoy the relax it gives me and I want to be able to get on with things and not be too effected. *It also completely wipes away any Nerve pain that I would have otherwise*
I've recently been trying a THCV strain and that is quite different, very bright, very clean, active and creative, with a hint of OCD which actually helps doing boring repetitive tasks. I also blend about CBD strains in with this or do a nice blend of 50% CBD strain with 25% THC and 25% THCV for a very balanced effect.
@eurorack, I see what you mean. It makes sense. I have some nerve problems too. In the past, I took microdoses of decarbed THC strain in capsules (0.05g), and it was great: physical relaxation + concentration. I also tried making an oil in a 1-1 THC/CBDV ratio, and oddly enough, it was very light. I'm currently growing a CBD strain (<0.x% THC) and plan to mix it with other strains for vaping. Curious about THCV too :)
Great looking grow. Well done. I too enjoy some cbd strains, especially the 1:1 ratio plants.
Anyways, I am curious about your hand held vaporizer. How do you like it? What is it called? I use a desktop vaporizer (arizer extreme) and love it. However, I haven't found a decent hand-held vape for flower.
@Dabking, hey! Thank you. That strain is actually too strong for me. Growing a strain with less than 1% THC right now. As of the vaporizer it's Arizer Solo 2 enough to send me far from myu reality haha.
@Sejanus21, this strain is very cool to grow, just some issues with Anna - her main cola developed bud rot, so I had to 'decapitate' her to save the crew ^^
Also I can’t handle the THC in most skunk so after reading your review I’m considering diluting my smoke with some pure CBD so that I don’t freak myself out with a bad trip aha, have u smoked anymore? Do u still think it’s a tad too overwhelming with the THC content?
Did you lollipop your plant? How comes there’s such fat growth on the main colas? Mines medium on the main colas but plenty of little buds along all the stems and plenty of small sized colas also. Would appreciate any advice
