I have grown “very low THC” and “legal” CBD strains. However, I have not found one to my liking. These so called “pure CBD” still got people high.
With no way to test CBD content at home, I suspect that plants grown from seeds are do not have CBD/THC content not as advertised.
Then, I might as well grow older proven strain even at 1:1 CBD/THC ratio. And people advertising a total of 10% CBD/THC may get me the same thing as those who advertise 20% CBD ratio. So, let’s try this Critical Mass CBD.
Seeds popped okay. After about two weeks, one seedling failed to continue. One plant is doing well due to better soil mix with good drainage. The other five were stunted with packed soil. Too much peat moss is not good for hot and wet climates.
Then, five plants were put in six-inch fern pot. This type of pot has vertical slot along the side for air entrance. I used soil, earth worm casting, and coconut husk. I also added sea purslane as companion plant to stimulate cannabis seedling root.
After three weeks, four plants were surviving in the sun and rain storm. The biggest seedling damped off and died. It rotted at the bottom of main stem. The roots were actually fine, but the plant rotted off at the base.
I pinched off the tops of the remaining plants to get branch structure started.
After four weeks, four plants out of seven seeds are doing well. It’s time to name these plants. And I labeled them as CM CBD 1, 2,3, and 4.
Raining season started. After this month, I shall be cloning high THC strains for late winter round.
Nice breeder and strain. All the best 😉 and yeah thc/cbd ratio are often different than what the breeder say. I had a discussion with a guy that tested a few pure cbd and 1:1 strain with a gemma cert device, he got funky result with the ratio depending phenotypes.
They are pumping med,,
I haven’t seen those basket type pots here in AUS,
It gives me an idea to drill a heap of holes around one of my pots this year to try it 🍻
@Shooey, my biggest 25 gal basket cost around 7 AUD.
It is mainly used to carry farm produce.
At first, I was thinking about drilling holes at bottom of some laundry baskets. But it is much cheaper to buy produce baskets from farm supply shop.
My thing is growing on the cheap. 😀😀😀😀😀
@GYOweed, it's sea purslane. Root supposed to give beneficial hormone and host micorrhizae. It is useful when I transfer to bigger pot. Sucks up excess fertilizers.
This sea purslane plant actually growing along the beach. I actually plugged them out at high tide when they were fully under sea water.
Logic is not fully clear but weeds grow better with them especially during vegging cycle. After a while, weed root overtakes the pot and sea purslane won't grow that well.
I recycle the purslane as a way to keep microbe community going in my soil.
