Colombian Andes Greenhouse SIP CBD Auto Grow

[InTheShed]

hope to look for Sativa CBD seeds this week.

@Weed Seeds Express has a few. Here's one:

Sour Tsunami CBD Feminized Seeds - WeedSeedsExpress

Buy Sour Tsunami CBD seeds, a Sativa-dominant cannabis strain with low THC and 13% CBD. Enjoy relaxing effects, a curious diesel scent, and high yields.

Also, there are a couple of reasons to find a pure CBD variety over a hybrid cross. First is that the ratios of CBD to THC in the crosses is very difficult to get consistent from pheno to pheno, leaving you with an unknown mix at harvest. Second is that while 1:1 may work for you today, next month you may find 2:1 or 1:3 more helpful. Easy to do when you have single cannabinoid varieties on hand. Mix them in the bowl or in the oil for the perfect blendship!

Thanks, Shed!
I would love to order from WSE!! Only, they won't ship to Colombia
But thanks for sharing about Sour Tsunami CBD! I will look for it.

I've been liking 1:1 CBD for some time now, but I'm still a noob, so I'll take your word for it!

Actually, now that I think about it, my favorite strains are all higher than 1:1.
Harlequin is 5:2 CBD:THC (2.5:1).
CBD God is 4:1.
Auto Blue Ace is 2:1.
So I think I like this idea of all CBD plantas.

I will look for Sour Tsunami CBD.
I will ask my new breeder friend if he can make CBD versions of the Colombian land races.

They both raved over Punto Rojo (Red Point) and Santa Marta de Oro (Colombian Gold). Also Mangobiche.
I think Colombian Gold is a hot weather strain, but Mangobiche blows my socks off.
It would be great if he can make CBD strains of that (or show me how!).

About P, I am not sure if this is old damage, or if things are getting worse. But the buds are not really as plump as I would like.

I ordered some PK 13-14 to put in the rez, but it may take time to get here (and I don't want to wait that long, because they are flowering now).
@Azimuth , until I can get the PK 13-14 stuff to put in the res, would it work to top-dress with some of your JADAM banana peel fertilizer?
And how much would I put on, so that it does not bleed down into the rez?
And do I water the whole surface evenly?
And at what concentration?
Thanks!

None of those are all CBD plants. 2.5:1 means it could be 20% CBD and 8% THC, etc.

You're looking for something with a measured THC of no higher than 1% regardless of CBD content.

I will ask my new breeder friend if he can make CBD versions of the Colombian land races.

Good luck! Without access to a good lab and plenty of time to pheno hunt, that's a fool's errand.

Right. Sorry, I was not clear.
Is Wikileaf ok to use on this site? (Or is there a better reference site?)

2.5:1 means it could be 20% CBD and 8% THC, etc.

Right.
Only:

Harlequin:
These patchwork genetics may account for the strain’s name - “harlequin” originally referred to the brightly-patterned costumes of traditional Italian clowns of the same name. Harlequin is approximately 75% sativa, although it lacks the characteristically strong cerebral sativa high due to the mitigating presence of CBD.

The standard ratio of CBD to THC in Harlequin is 5:2. Cannabis lab Analytics 360 has measured samples of this strain at between 4% to 10% THC and 6% to 15% CBD. Harlequin has won multiple Cannabis Cup awards for its CBD content in both bud and concentrate forms.

(And this is "Allbud")
CBD God:
Indica Dominant Hybrid Strain Indica Dominant Hybrid - 70% Indica / 30% Sativa
THC: 5% - 6%, CBD: 12%
CBD God is an indica dominant hybrid strain (70% indica/30% sativa) created through crossing the iconic Isolated Pink Pistil High CBD God X Harlequin BX4 strains. If you're after a super soothing high that will have you free of any aches or pains whatsoever, CBD God is the choice for you.

And Auto Blue Ace is 2:1 CBD:
With ratios of 1:1, 1:2, it is an ideal plant both for medicinal use and for those wanting to combine its use with the performance of tasks requiring concentration. Owing to its THC-CBD ratio, the psychoactive effect is slight and very bearable from the start. Some users experience states of deep introspection. This strain has been proven to be perfect as a painkiller and for calming states of anxiety or nerves.

You're looking for something with a measured THC of no higher than 1% regardless of CBD content.

Got it. Thanks!

Good luck! Without access to a good lab and plenty of time to pheno hunt, that's a fool's errand.

Well, I guess I can buy some all-CBD weed, and mix with what I have.
I love sour, so CBD Sour Tsunami sounds tasty!!!

As I mentioned, having THC in your CBD flowers means that it's much more difficult to hit the ratio that works for you at any moment in time.

See if you can get your hands on some straight up hemp, which is basically 100% CBD. It's grown all over the world for rope, textiles, clothing, shoes, food, paper, bioplastics, insulation, and biofuel.

I hope to hear back from my new breeder friend tomorrow. I hope to ask him if he can make me some mold-resistant Colombian CBD sativa.

I'm just starting an ACDC plant which is supposed to be anywhere between 20:1 and 40:1 CBD:THC.

That one might be a decent non-hemp variety to try. I wanted one with a little THC since it's supposed to make the CBD that much more effective.

As long as you have a bit of THC on hand, that's the easy part!

This is something I'm still trying to work out and don't have a success story for you yet.

But to answer your question, any of the organic amendments are likely going to have about a two week period before they show any impact so it won't help you quickly.

Usage is the typical Jadam dilution rates of at least 1:25 so you can scale up or down as needed.

As for keeping it out of the reservoir or not, I'm trying that now (feeding via the reservoir) and haven't had any issues yet but it's only been a few weeks so still inconclusive to me.

I think ResDog feels differently so we'll need more at bats to tell better.

I think the entourage effect is very real.
I guess it is not correct to say I like 1:1. I guess it is correct to say I (personally) prefer more CBD than THC, but I like the THC there. (It seems like a "more complete" experience, if that makes sense.)

Ok, thanks!
I just think it would be good to start adding P now, since they are in flower.
It might not show up for a while, but I will feel better knowing they are in there.

I guess my question was, would it work to add Jadam Nana from the top (top watering), just until my PK 13-14 gets here?
And if so, about how much liquid would you add to a 5G SIP (realistically 4G), so as not to bleed it into the rez?
Thanks.

Well, gravity and all that, I'm not sure you will keep it out of the reservoir. When I give 16oz/0.5L to my 2 gallon buckets I get some in the reservoir.

But again, I'm not convinced it's any kind of disaster if/(when) it happens.

 

[CBDMed]

Hmmm.....

Well, the light bulb is slow in coming on!!
If I grow pure CBD plants, then I don't need a CBD landrace sativa mix, I just grow one sativa and one cbd...
(Hahaha, I can be a little slow!)

Cannabis plants use a lot less phosphorus than the nute companies are trying to sell us.

I've posted these before, but this is a pdf with plant analysis charts and graphs (with full detailed lab analysis) done on the macro and micronutrients found in three different strains of cannabis plant during veg and flower.

The varieties and analysis are from 2003, but I don't think we have modified the plant in the last 17 years to the extent that the nutrient results would vary that greatly today. Here are screenshots of the first three graphs:

Interesting that, in two of the three, N levels actually went up in flower

Regarding hemp and CBD... most CBD hemp varieties have around 10% CBD and no more than 1% THC.

Some CBD hemp varieties can reach 20 or even 24/25% CBD.

I am now growing Sweet Critical CBD and Doctor Seedsman 30:1, from Coffee Shop. They are both supposed to reach at least 20% CBD. I'll grow them up and have the buds tested. There's another one folks might be interested in... Quebec CBD 20:1... looks to be very high quality.
