Live Stoner Chat Hello from AK

[john smith]

Hey all. I've been doing my research for a while now to get started with my first [serious] grow. Very happy, after many years of not smoking (and recently returning for the cbd stuff) to see that ruderalis genetics are finally mainstream. Looking forward to an auto grow of (1 plant each) dinafem industrial plant auto cbd and worldofseeds tonic ryder (auto cbd). Thanks to everyone here for providing such a bounty of great info that has helped me develop a plan of attack, and feel confident in what I'm undertaking.

Cheers!

Thanks @archie gemmill . 'Preciate it! Yeah I've been lurking for a couple months. Until I really nailed down exactly which strains I was gonna grow; which equipment I would use; and which grow medium I would use, I was able to get answers to most of my questions just by searching and reading what others had posted. Found a lot of info on the autoflowers subreddit, as well. Now that I have the major factors sorted, my questions are a bit more precise, and require me to ask direct questions. Hence my asking @Dinafem-Mark about recommended cultivation method for industrial plant auto cbd - not a tidbit of info that is likely to be found commonly thrown around in conversation.

Thanks again to everyone here for your help in getting me to where I'm at, thusfar. Feeling a lot more confident about my process, than I would have without such a breadth of experience so readily accessible at my fingertips. It's been a huge help.

dinafem industrial plant auto cbd

I've grow that strain several times and like it. I currently have an auto Sweet CBD that is 16:1 cbd/thc and I get zero relief. It's like vaping for the hell of it.

Interesting. I quit smoking thc bud years ago. Only got back into it a few months ago after doing my research on CBD for my pain issues. First strain I tried, locally sourced, was ~5% CBD/~2.5% THC (~2:1). Relief was instant. I didn't really like the strain though - taste, how it had been stored, etc - Seriously... why the *%$# do dispensaries tout themselves as 'for connoisseurs' when they don't even store their product at proper humidity? That really bugs me. Rant over. After that I found CBD hemp, and tried a few strains from an online vendor. They were all <0.3% THC and ~15%+ CBD. I've been very pleased with those, for long term pain management and the fact that I don't have the [undesired] psychoactive effects. Having enjoyed the effects of the ~2:1 that I first tried, I figured I'd experiment with strains that I chose more for their ratio than just the overall CBD%. Hence industial and tonic ryder being my first two choices. I figure since I have a glut of ~20:1 buds, and will be growing ~2-2.5:1 stuff myself, I can blend them and see if I find a ratio that is optimal for my needs, and maybe choose different ratios based on my pain level, scenario I'm entering (i.e. work vs day off), etc. From there, I can maybe choose different strains based on that optimum ratio and what I want them for. EDIT: I will be getting my homegrown tested at a local lab, so I know what %s I'm really working with - not just guessing based on the breeder's stated levels.

Also... tonic ryder just looks so darned pretty. I figure just cuz I'm not smoking to get high, doesnt mean I shouldn't be able to enjoy some exotic colors, right?!
