OG Kush CBD Feminized Seeds (Dinafem)
Details
OG Kush CBD cannabis seeds by Dinafem Seeds belong to a Sativa-dominant, feminized cannabis strain that originates from the cross of an OG Kush and a CBD rich strain.
OG Kush is what everyone in the States aspires to, which is not surprising at all given its complexity and high-quality.
All things considered, Dinafem Seeds could not miss the chance to create a high-CBD version noted for harmoniously pulling together both sides of the coin: the recreational part and the therapeutic part.
Dinafem are sure that OG Kush CBD will cast a spell on OG-lovers as well as on those users interested in tasting a plant with a more moderate effect and the ability to reduce anxiety, muscle tension or even stimulate their appetite.
As far as its effect is concerned, it has very little to do with the feminized and autoflowering versions. All those passionate about strains with complex flavours and aromas, accompanied by hints of lemon, petrol, wood and species, are sure to fall for this cannabis seed.
Especially, when they get to see how easy it is to obtain generous crops of compact and smelly buds.
OG Kush CBD marijuana seeds evolve into beautiful, slender plants with short distance between nodes and broad leaves. An organic farming method is preferred if to be used for therapeutic purposes.
Although a 1:1 THC/CBD ratio is guaranteed, some phenotypes can reach a 1:2 ratio if grown in ideal conditions.
OG Kush CBD is a cannabis plant that boasts a really intense flavour and aroma, with notes of lemon, oil, wood and species. Its effect, both physical and cerebral, is easy to put up with and can create a state of euphoria that remains for a while.
People looking for a rich flavour and gentle effect are going to love it.

Background:
I have never used cannabis. Ever. Not once. In any form.
So why the hell am I here doing this?!
Medicine. Pure and simple.
My sons have autism. They are high functioning. They are intelligent. They have comorbid conditions like chronic pain anxiety, and OCD. Their medications have offered little help.
My wife has BPD. She's unable to take any kind of antidepressant as it causes mania. Already an anxious person, life has added to it. Her medications offer limited help.
Still, cannabis was never really much of a thought, especially for my teenage son. Then autism and puberty combined to take a kind, fun-loving kid and make him a constantly angry and depressed young man. Still no thought of cannabis. Then he began striking out and hurting himself. Picture frames thrown down, glass everywhere. Chairs thrown over. Self harm, which I discovered one late night when he accidentally severed the tendons that make his fingers work and required surgery to restore function. That led to more medications, including some strong ones with significant side effects. They helped to some degree, but some of the behaviors continued. That's when we discovered CBD. And it helped some, but he was still angry and throwing things. I had to consider placing him outside the home. The one desperate option left before doing that was cannabis that included THC. And it has worked. In a few months it's like his mind has been healing over time. Fewer outbursts. Less anger. And slowly my happy, fun-loving kid has re-emerged. One tablet, three times a day of 5 mg of both THC and CBD has made this possible. And now it's time for me to try to make his medicine.
The older son has autism and chronic pain and takes the same medicine a few times a week. I wish he'd take it more often, but he's stubborn (don't know where he gets that from).
The wife now combines oral and inhaled. I frankly wish I could join her, but I am subject to testing so that's a firm "no".
A plant that I once hated and thought was an evil has saved my son and just may have saved my sanity. And now I love cannabis. I appreciate anyone who grows and/or uses it to help with whatever ails them (and those just having fun). I thank all those who preserved it through the years. I respect every "crazy" person who called it medicine.
Because without you all this miracle would not have been possible.
And so I'm genuinely excited to be here as a part of this great community and now growing this miraculous medicine. Thank you all for having me and understanding why I have spent months getting ready to take this ridiculous journey and grow six strains on my first attempt ever. I believe the combination of some or all of these strains will give my boy what he needs and help the rest of my family as well. If not, I have other strains to add to the mix once they're grown and I'll be grabbing a few more like Blue Dream and others (not to mention Big Bud by Sensi Seeds thanks to 420 sponsor The Vault!).
I'll be adding more space for vegging and drying before long. I have to supply. It's my job and I love it.
Look for a few pictures below to start things off. I'll try to get better at that, too.
