Still can't compare but also not complain. After this grow I also still stand behind Heaven especially, which made again a big difference. Root-Juice also worked well with my clones from this grow. The bloom nutrients I don't trust really, still trying to find a good balance for transitioning into Flowering nutrients. Acti-Vera and Alg-A-Mic are good for the soul βοΈ Whenever I feel I stressed my plants, they get a little Acti-Vera and it makes me feel better, can't tell if it works or not. The same applies to Alg-A-Mic
Don't know about Bud Candy, used it once when I was doubting my other bloom nutrients. Can't really say anything. Flawless Finish I kind of like, so far all my plants faded & cured beautifully when being flushed with flawless finish, wether it is a mini-flush after a long vegetation phase or at the end of the grow (not this grow).
Really happy with my light. I'm getting great results as far as I can judge. For my size of tent it's perfect and I can't really say anything bad. It's not getting too hot nor is it loud.
I like the style of the tent. The quality is a bit so so, some of the sewed fabric strings at the bottom of the zipper are sticking out, which I don't like, especially not for the price.
I don't know where to start and I must admit I'm completely overwhelmed by this beautiful beautiful plant β€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈ Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah, I'm so happy πππ
She is a blessing!
Excuse the outburst, but she is magical βοΈ I applaud you guys at Humboldt for creating such a wonderful strain π
Some details upfront, before I rave some more:
- 134 Days in total: 70 Days in Veg, 64 Days in Flower with 128W LED in a 60x60x160cm tent
- 7 Days Drying regularly, 9 Days Drying in the Fridge
- 432g - Wet weight with stems
- 103g of those for Fresh Harvest Infused Oil - 190ml Olive oil with 30mg/ml THC & CBD - approx. 20g dry (for dry weight calc.)
- 87g for the DrZiggy's Low And Slow Drying in the fridge - 20g dry
- 242g for regular Drying @50% RH and 22Β°C - 55g dry
- 30g dried sticky trim in the freezer
Summary of my growing experience with this strain:
She takes well to massive training and a little neglect in the beginning, meaning she recovers well, which is what I want π I didn't experience any major deficiencies. She had a little nitrogen deficiency during the later veg phase, which she showed with lighter green leaves. I blame this on my long veg time and my pot size of only 11l. She consumed all her soil and nutes by the end of veg. I will keep that in mind for my next grow. Since I increased my nitrogen levels so close to flowering phase, I overdid it a little on the nitrogen which showed a little bit during later flowering phase with downwards clawing leaves. So I will be more careful with nitrogen especially while transitioning into Flower. I did not flush this plant and she smokes already beautifully mild after only a couple of days of curing. Drying her took 7 days in the tent and 9 days in the fridge. She crusted up with lots of stickiness while drying and gave off a good bit of scissor hash & kief when trimming. Smoking her is a great and different experience to me. It's my first time with a 1:1 strain and I can definitely notice the CBD content. She shows in a very well balanced body high with a slight and gentle knock on the THC door. The first couple of days I felt a craving for higher THC which settled down after only a couple of days. Very interesting and definitely worth growing. So you guessed right, I totally recommend growing this beauty. Especially if you are interested in exploring a 1:1 THC:CBD strain with all its magical medicinal values π
Why I grew this strain:
Like @Experimentgreen on here, I grew this strain for my Mama β€οΈ She is open minded to trying to solve some of her health issues with these beautiful plants and the magic they bring but she also likes to have a bit of fun, she doesn't mind. So a 1:1 strain was quite handy. She suffers from neuropathic pain, arthritis in her joints, restless legs and insomnia. All very relatable issues and perfectly suitable to be introduced to some good CBD and THC content. She already has a little tolerance, since she is treating her restless legs with gummi bears I made with a strength of 1.5mg/gummi bear. This small dose already helps her on a daily for her restless legs. Beautiful π
So with this special mission in mind, I wanted to process the plant with only the very best options and create Cannabis Oil (Capsules) for my Mom to take. I chose a method called "Fresh Harvest Infused Cannabis oil" by the wonderful member SweetSue over at 420magazine: https://www.420magazine.com/community/threads/fresh-harvest-infused-cannabis-oil.363371/ I hope it's ok to relink, no need to duplicate already existing and well researched content, right? I will not go into detail and def. recommend reading through the whole thread. I only document the short version here, but feel free to ask me, I'm happy to share my experience. The oil I made has 30mg/ml of THC and CBD. That's a good value.
I calculated the strength the following:
75g fresh Flower in 200ml Olive Oil - with 10% CBD&THC
85% extraction efficiency with the infusion method
85% * 10% THC&CBD = 0.0850
0.0850 * 75g = 6.375 gram of available THC & CBD
6.375gram * 1000 = 6375mg/THC
6375mg/CBD
6375mg/200ml = 31.875mg/ml CBD & THC
I created capsules with 3mg per capsule. We are currently trying to find the right dose for her. She started taking one capsule 60-90min before bed for 3 days now and will increase by 1 capsule tonight. We continue until a max dose of 15mg/day but always re-evaluate how she feels. She's documenting her experience quite cute. Very heartwarming and powerful. So far she sleeps better and she falls asleep faster, which she hadn't done in a long while. Onset is pretty precisely between 60 and 90 minutes. She has not had any restless legs so far. I'm excited for her and can't wait to see where this takes us.
I also made her a salve/creme she uses as a topical on her joints. When she uses it early enough, before the big pain hits, she feels it helps. Of course this is not a science study and everything is purely based on personal experience. I thought I share, in case anyone is interested, also I want to give back a little, since I consume so much knowledge from all over the internet, including here, so thanks π
Looks beautiful! Well doneπ. I've left plants in the dark for 3 days before the chop with no problems. Now onto other critical steps...the dry and the cure. βοΈπ»πππ₯.
Thanks @DeaneR and you say it, still trying to optimize the drying game. One part of the plant I already processed into a fresh cut oil. The rest is drying in the tent and fridge. Canβt wait π
@starke, wow, the coloration of the leaves is astounding, I LOVE THIS COLOR! π You did a great diary with AMAZING pics here! GREAT job, keep up the good work! ππ
Thank you @stonedjeasus, indeed with lots of love πThe strain is 10% CBD and 10% THC, I don't want to harvest too late to get all the good things out of her. I hope she will have some more time. Have a good day βοΈ
Thanks @Cr8grow βοΈ I'm happy too and the baby box is amazing, I just got a better light and the box is now ready to home 4 Autoflowers up to harvest, yeay. Go build one too, it's fun. Happy weekend βοΈ
Hitting mid bloom with our Blue Dream CBD and looking in great shape π€
Good luck with the rest of the flower show my friend π
We will keep dropping in as you update your diary π
Watching with interest from Humboldt County βοΈ
Kind regards

@Humboldt_Seed_Organisation, Nice, that's good to know, thanks. She's nearing some more cloudy than clear. Should be in a good time frame then. Have a good day βοΈ
@starke, With high CBD strains we have found through lab testing that the CBD % starts to degrade and turns into other cannabinoids such as THC, CBG and CBN when the glandular trichome heads start to turn Amber π
I like to harvest with only 2-5% Amber 85-95% still cloudy with 2-5% still clear π€
That should work out perfect mate π
Stay safe out there π
Kind regards βοΈ

@Humboldt_Seed_Organisation, Thanks guys, very excited for this grow. Lot's of good things to come from this great strain. How is your experience growing it, do you harvest earlier due to the CBD content? Have a good Sunday βοΈ
@starke, as this is just my second grow, I never used anything else than BioBizz. And it seems to work fine for me. Honestly I think that "every nutrient line is the best one"; if you find something that works for you, I see not need to change. I think there is a lot of voodoo and superstition involved also. Reminds me of people who can hear the difference of a 1.000$ cable in their stereo set π
@Buddha2, you're welcome, try a small bottle, you won't need much. This is my 6th plant in total using this and 1/3 is left. I use at 1/3 to 1/2 of the recommended dose. In another forum, everyone is raving about Megacrop by Greenleaf Nutrients (https://greenleafnutrients.com/product/mega-crop/), have you heard of it? I've ordered a free trial package and will try with one of my next grows. It's a one-stop-solution with a little calmag added, I like the idea of that. Have a good day and thank you to you too, you're very kind, it's a joy meeting people like you online, incredible value added βοΈ
@starke How did the harvest go mate?
We hope you are enjoying this CBD enhanced creation π
Beautiful work and a well deserved harvest π€
Kind regards βοΈ
Team-HSO..
Absolutely phenomenal work with our Blue Dream CBD π€
Check out the size of those CBD rich flowers and those colours popping through are simply, gorgeous π
Not to much longer and you'll be well rewarded π
Please stay safe and don't forget that pre harvest update π
Kind regards βοΈ

@Humboldt_Seed_Organisation, you say it π This plant is such a beauty, not to forget her smell and hard buds, wow πͺYou have done an amazing job, thanks for following along, that's nice. Day 60 of Flower today, updating some photos later and can't wait to have another look at her trichs. Happy day βοΈπ
Looking great! Nice buds forming π. The triangle shape is interesting π. I think I'll try the quad method in a future grow. Check out my White Sugar OG diary and my Mango Sapphire diary. I'm experimenting with a couple of training methods. Goodluck going forward, you're on your way to beautiful harvest.
@DeaneR, thanks, I'm very happy π Definitely check out the Quadlining threads on 420 Mag, much better explanation then mine, I'll send you PM with the link. And also, don't do the same mistakes as I did. Happy growing π will check your 2 Ladies. Have a good day βοΈ
@Psilocubensis, I like it. Was thinking about adding silica, heard it's good and helps with strong roots and other benefits. Heaven seems to have amino acid like silica and that's what I had at hand. Amino acids allow the plants roots to do 1000 x more chemical reactions than normal. Since using it, I had great root growth through my fabric pots, which is supposed to be a good sign.
