One of the most remarkable medicinal strains ever to grace the cannabis community is Harlequin. Boasting of an impressive 2:5 THC to CBD ratio, the high induced is gentle, but the healing abilities are insane. Thus, in creating a new medicinal variety, using it as one of the genetic bases makes sense.The choice of Kimbo Kush is quite fascinating. A heavy-hitting Indica hybrid, the cross with Harlequin resulted in a progeny capable of inducing a profound body stone. Although it is excellent for recreational use, it does not explicitly cater to medical patients.A third strain came into play. Based on the Ruderalis genetics, and through generations of crossbreeding, CBD Harlequin Kimbo Kush was born.The new high-CBD hybrid offered by Homegrown Cannabis Co. - the premier source of elite strains and seeds - features a remarkable 1:2 CBD to THC ratio. Not only is the THC level brought down, but the rich cannabidiol profile could top out at 12%.An auto-flowering variety of this strain also exists in the catalog. Many home growers, though, prefer the feminized seeds. In this regard, the seed bank offers a unique type of seed - fast version - that cuts down the flowering time to 6-7 weeks. It remains reliant on light cycles but with a quicker overall growth cycle.Growing CBD Harlequin Kimbo Kush Fast Version SeedsOne stigma that has latched on to autos is that its cannabinoid profile is no match to photoperiods. To a degree, it is a fair assumption as not all breeders could create high-quality varieties.Feminized seeds, on the other hand, is an excellent compromise compared to regular seeds. For one, the female turnout is over 90%. Moreover, it typically has a quicker growth cycle too.In the case of Fast Version CBD Harlequin Kimbo Kush, it is practically the same as feminized with one distinct difference - an incredibly short flowering period. Other than that, growing this hybrid is not any different. It is a small, compact plant that thrives indoors, outdoors, and in greenhouses.It entails the same routine maintenance - pruning and trimming - to keep the lower branches in check. Topping after it has grown at least four nodes is a means to control the height. Experienced cultivators could also select one plant displaying the best traits during the vegetative phase. Then, use it as a source plant for cloning and starting a new batch under the Sea of Green.These plants started from fast version seeds more or less have the same growth rate during the vegetative phase. Once it starts to flower, watch out for the explosion of flower development. In as little as six weeks, the harvest is possible, and it could provide up to 400 grams per square meter. Outdoors, it is not shabby too. In a warm climate, the production could reach 500 grams per plant. In the northern hemisphere, chop down is possible by late September.Fragrance and FlavorThe Kush genetics live on in this high-CBD strain. From the moment the pre-flowers appear, it already starts to emit a musky scent with the classic earthy odor reminiscent of the Afghani. Adding a zesty twist is the citrusy, lemony note courtesy of Harlequin.EffectsThe THC level found in this strain ranges between 6-12% - same as the CBD. It is too low to induce anything intense. Seasoned cannabis consumers might not even feel any psychoactive effect. Not for beginners, though.During the onset, it sends a light buzz that uplifts the mood and brightens the day. Besides calming the nerves, it also ushers in the sense of happiness.Even when the full effects kick in, the most one could feel is relaxed without the sedation. It is also unlikely to cause anxiety or paranoia even in higher dosages.MedicalCBD Harlequin Kimbo Kush is one of the few strains that could help control epileptic seizures and tremors. Mainly, this is due to the CBD volume it contains and the synergy with its terpenes to boost the therapeutic effects.It is also an excellent alternative to opioid-based painkillers. Countless people have sworn by its efficacy in warding off chronic pains.Lastly, it helps clear the head and takes away stress. It even works wonders in more severe cases such as assisting people in fighting off depression or reducing the anxiety level.CBD Harlequin Kimbo Kush Fast Version SeedsThe fast version of CBD Harlequin Kimbo Kush is one heck of a medicinal strain. Even at such a rapid flowering phase, it can still produce a generous yield of buds containing 6-12% CBD and THC.It does not suit the purpose of many recreational consumers. For medicinal purposes, though, it is a precious herb that many patients could rely upon for relief. Some people have already suffered far too much and too long. Failed by traditional medication, it might be the last hope for comfort.For personal use cultivating at home, the quick flowering time ensures that the buds (after curing) are ready for use sooner rather than later.
