CBD Medi Kush 2019

420_observer Copied from SpliffSeeds.nl - Description of CBD Medi Kush 75% Indica. Genotype: Blue Medi Kush x Amnesiac x CBD Afghan. Super fruity taste. and Grows large, tall colas and produces big yields of hard, dense, frosty buds. Good for treating inflammation, pain, stress, depression, insomnia. Extremely relaxing body stone and high. Medium THC, high CBD (9%+). We set out to produce a hybrid strain rich in CBD, and we certainly succeeded. First we crossed our Blue Medi Kush x Amnesiac x CBD Afghan, we then selected the most reliable and stable version of a CBD Afghan to back-cross with. This was used as a basis for stabilising her genetics over several generations, resulting in the strain we have today. CBD Medi Kush has a very high CDB content (9%+).This Indica dominant strain flowers for 11 weeks and grows with a low, compact profile, it is great for SOG or SCROG grows in small rooms. Bred with medical users in mind, this should become a popular strain among those wishing to produce high quality, CBD rich oils and extracts. The buds are bulky and hard and have the typical kush odour, the taste is very fruity with a sweet, smooth floral scent and berry undertones. The high is very comfortable and pleasurable and is accompanied by a mellow body stone. This plant delivers a pain relieving dose of CBD, without the racing thoughts or anxiety that one can experience from high THC, low CBD strains. 11Dec18 Just getting started with setup Will update this diary-week once I'm actually growing (still unpacking and setting up tent stuff) 27Dec18 Soaked the seeds for 12 hours Placed in damp paper towel Covered and placed in dark corner for 48 hours 29Dec18 Tap roots sprouted Planted in plastic cups Few squirts of water Soil used = Premium Organic Potting Soil 60%, Coco Coir 20%, Perlite 20% 30Dec19 all seeds have sprouted 24 hrs natural light, then into the grow box she goes Game on!! 1Jan19 In the grow box 22 / 2 light schedule Ph balanced water - just a few squirts 4Jan19 Transplanted 5Jan19 week one in the books

420_observer These are gaining grow speed - leaves getting bigger - stalk is getting stronger My first grow with this strain and breeder - so far, Spliff has a good product Tiny branches are starting to show - a real good start

420_observer Mid-week post, more to come Bravo seems to be doing a little better than Alpha But they're both doing well 5/18 I trimmed them down to the two leaves and two branches on the fourth node 😷 Damn that was painful 😭 But they are doing fine and growing as intended 👌

420_observer Mid Week Post. More To Come. 1/22 Recovered from first cut,( made 2 branches). Made the second cut, ( to create 4 ). Made first LST tie down. 1/26 New branches forming The roots are pissed off from being over watered Plus the cold weather is affecting things as well Have adjusted and I'm confident things will level off and back to normal this week

420_observer Still training.

420_observer Last mainline cut made That'll make 8 branches Roots are unhappy and that's starting to show in the color They'll be moved to a better, more stable environment soon That should help them recover Pretty sure the problem is a combination of things Crazy temp swings, and dialing in the nutrients to meet the needs of this strain

420_observer Training along They have recovered from the last topping cut Intend on keeping them in veg mode for a couple more weeks To allow them to mature and develop a little further before starting flower mode

420_observer Not much to report Got these girls moved to the farm They were transplanted today And got all of the new branches tied down Will put a bigger light on them next week and start preparing for flower mode Looking really good though :-)

420_observer They've recovered from replanting Trimmed off a node and adjusted the straps Swapped out the light - now running 1600w Putting them in flower mode this week When the light goes off next - they'll be off for 48 hours Then put on 12/12

420_observer Lots going on this week Gave them one more defoliation cut Adjusted the straps They went thru 48 hrs of darkness To kickstart the flowering cycle They're on 12 on 12 off now They're loving their new shoes And the bigger light In a couple of days They'll have a new bigger tent So they'll all have space to grow into Couple more weeks and they'll be locked in for the ride 😎

420_observer These girls are doing great! Both are going to be little monsters. Thought about moving them to the big tent, but the temp was still too low. Although, they are starting their growth spurt so, they'll be moved next week regardless. Nothing trimmed. Fed them. Watered them. Played some Marley & Grateful Dead for them.... Alpha has an unintended branch, but I got it bent over now. Should be fine. This strain does stand out though. It is very hearty and recovers very quickly. I do look forward to processing these girls post harvest. A quick Shout-Out to Spliff Seeds, and their CBD Medi strain. Me likey a lot! 👽

420_observer Doing well Im a little concerned about the air and soil temp Spring is here, so the temp should level out soon enough

420_observer I sort of failed with Alpha After the second round of topping Alpha developed a ... or rather re-developed her main branch from the Round One Topping Cut At first, I thought hey cool, I just get an extra branch But as she is developing, I can know see how that was a mistake As stated, the lower round spare branch has redeveloped as the main branch In an effort to correct, I have pulled it down and the top has responded by turning upward at a good point So yea! We do get an extra branch But I still should not have let it grow out We're still dealing with the weather/temp fluctuations. I certainly can see a difference in the plant's development. Watching the extended weather I do believe we are riding out the last cold front. Some consolation is that I do have the lights and air temp dialed in. But it's the floor and by extension the soil/root temps that are my problem. Also this week we added TNB Naturals' The Enricher to the nutrient mix. Won that in the GrowDiaries February contest, thought 'might as well try it' ....😀 Overall - I'm not happy that my girls are unhappy But I do know they'll be okay

420_observer Looking very strong Weather has evened out so no more temp flux Removed the tie downs So they are growing freely now Watered them really well Will be adding CO2 to the tent this weekend

420_observer These girls are coming into their own and looking very nice. A LOT of flower nodes Since I've untied them The branches have started going vertical again Which is normal, but these girls are tightening up a bit more than the rest Started the TnB CO2 system That should give a bit of a boost

420_observer These are girls are doing the best out of the whole group They have the most flower nodes and the nugs are starting to take shape I'm really looking forward to see their kolas develop As the weather outside keeps getting warmer I think we'll see some good growth over the next few weeks I do think the TnB Enhancer CO2 system is making a difference too!

420_observer Flowers, Flowers, Flowers These two have more flower nodes than any of the other girls They are rounding the last turn and heading into the straight away Looking good too 😝 The past week was the last for the bloom recipe Will start up the ripen recipe next feeding I figure another 3 weeks or so

420_observer Little Miss Consistent Flower nodes are still getting bigger And there are a LOT of nodes Trichomes are milky to white No tan or amber ones that I've found But I expect that'll be changing fairly soon Provided the trichomes stay milky white I'll continue to feed them Soon as I start seeing tan and amber Then its water only These girls have had some hardship But they are very hearty and grow well with little attention Spliff Seeds does produce a good product 😀 If one were the pamper them, I have no doubt they'd be worth the extra effort 👌

420_observer solid, nice density strong smell little bit of a bumpy road in regards to the growing conditions but they plant handled it well these two are the best looking of whole cbd bunch grown this round by far they've been on water only this week planning on taking down them soon woohoo! 👽

420_observer Impressive strain. Very much worth your time and effort. Considering the shortened grow cycle, we still got a larger than expect harvest.
