SeedBank :
Dutch passion
Strain:
CBD Kush
Did it autoflower?: No, photo
Soil/hydro: Soil (mostly Plagron grow mix with a bit of Atami light mix on top)
Nutes:
Canna rhizotonic root stimulator, Hesi veg and bloom nutes and Epsom salts.
Light (kind and schedule):
180W LED, GN MS0006 with full rebel upgrades. 24/0 first 4 weeks, then down to 18/6 until day 33 and then 12/12.
From seed to harvest date: 110 days total (33 days veg + 77 days flower) Could have been taken down a week earlier.
Dry Yield: 38.8g and 63.6g (Also had a blueberry in there which yielded 25.2g) Could have been more but I lost some to bud rot.
High/Effect Duration:
I started using cannabis to relieve the symptoms of Lyme disease and co-infections that I suffer from. The symptoms I'm dealing with are for example nausea, joint pain/stiffness, tense/stiff muscles, general discomfort, restlessness and I've also become a lot more anxious/nervous than I used to be. I tried some traditional high THC varieties and while they relieved the physical symptoms they would occasonally make me very anxious and nervous, especially at higher doses, which tends to ruin the experience.
Then I read about high CBD strains and it sounded like what I wanted. The first thing you notice when you vape it is that there is not the initial head rush of a traditional strain. It comes on a bit slower and more like a wave of relaxation. In smaller amounts it's like being stoned from the neck down. It nicely relaxes the body without too much impairment so it lets you go about your day. In larger amounts you start to notice the high a bit more. Again, it has that relaxing anti-anxiety effect but you start to notice more head effects. One thing which is nice about it is that you still get a euphoric uplifting effect, giggles included. I also find that it releases the tension and stress in my muscles and I can literally feel my shoulders drop when it starts to kick in.
I have also made tinctures with it that I either put in a capsule and swallow or drop under the tongue. Obviously when you swallow it, it takes longer to take effect but it also lasts longer so I usually do it in combination with vaping. Under the tongue is nice as it's somewhere inbetween vaping and eating.
On the weekends I like to mix it with a traditional variety to give it an extra kick. I find that the CBD Kush tends to mellow out whatever other strain I mix it with so it's more managable for me.
RATE SCALE: * bad to ***** good
BAG APPEAL: *****
The buds are covered in orange hairs and look very tasty if I do say so myself.
THE GROWTH: ****
Not too stretchy and branched out nicely. Worked out great for filling my SCROG. I topped them between the 4th and 5th node and it only slowed them down for about 3 days. I gave them a four here because my impression is that the yield is more towards medium than large.
THE SMELL: *****
Sweet and fruity with a slightly earthy undertone. Not the strongest smell but very nice.
THE SMOKE: *****
Smooth fruity vapor. Goes nicely with food.
THE HIGH: *****
Mellow, relaxing and functional with no anxiety. Doesn't give you the rush of a high THC variety but comes on more like a wave of relaxation, nice body stone with less head effect.
