When I started this thread I’d intended almost my next post to be one that gave a nice wrap up of the 2 Candida CD-1 plants I have grown and aim to show, along the way, features of the 2 different phenos I believe I had.
Clearly something happened that waylaid that , and then something else happened , then there was a firestorm armageddon apocalypse outside my bedroom door and then there was a global plague
I still intend to do it! It could happen any day now actually but in the meantime, I had the buds out recently to make a new batch of a topical/cosmetic oil I make with it and the difference in their structure is really clear to me.
These were part of a batch that got bagged and buried during the fire season (we stashed bud in many different places during our numerous evacuations) so they’re looking a little rough, but pretty good considering. It’s also a crappy shot for a closeup so sorry for that LOL, but I think the difference is well illustrated. indica pheno above (8months curing), sativa pheno below (13months curing).
Granted they were grown inside (indica) and outside (sativa) but that doesn’t account for the complete structural difference. They were definitely completely different looking flowers when they were growing.
Liquid Light
And now, more about the oil. As well as an infused olive oil for CBD dosing and a coconut oil for CBD edibles, I also make a 5-6mg/ml infusion into sweet almond oil that a couple of friends use for eczema (more on the efficacy of that in coming weeks as I hear back about it) and I use for pain oil and for a (diluted) cosmetic face oil.
Heres some decarb’d CD-1
And 200ml of sweet almond oil...
Party time
This is infused and strained and used at full strength for eczema, especially dry skin and pain. For the cosmetic face oil I dilute it with grapeseed oil to around 3mg/ml and add 2drops per 15ml of DoTerra SALUBELLE Beauty Blend. It’s liquid gold itself that stuff and super expensive but also super potent so, at the rate I use it, it is going to last me years, literally years.
I call this face oil ‘Amy’s Liquid Gold’, just for fun (I don’t sell it at all, although I do give it as a gift sometimes) and I apply it to my face and neck everyday - it’s sensational A good friend who has some calls it ‘Million Dollar Face’
My current bottle is nearly done...
I have recently started using the full strength version alongside my THC-dominant topical oil I use for pain and I definitely believe that both of them together is more effective than the THC topical alone. I use them both in the bath too. My health condition involves a lot of pain, both chronic and acute, and after a bath with epsom salts and 2-3ml of each topical oil (so 10-15mg THC and 10-15mg CBD - what a decadent bath!) and I can have about 4-5 hours afterwards with my body feeling almost normal. Today was one of those days actually - awesome.
So, there’s 2 versions from the same oil making process;
Version 1. Original, 5-6mg/ml for skin complaints and topical pain oil/bath oil. (Maybe I’ll call this ‘Liquid Light’ in honour of the meaning of the strain name - bright light ).
Version 2. ‘Amy’s Liquid Gold’, diluted to approx 3mg/ml with grapeseed oil (or more non-infused almond oil) used in small roller bottle with less than 1% of DoTerra “SALUBELLE” added and used for cosmetic face oil - incredible for the complexion. CBD for the win!
There it is then, in lieu of a proper post on the actual plants as yet, a completely impromptu feature on one of the ways I use the Candida CD-1 flowers in my life. Keeps me looking and feeling good.
