For all you folks who "voted" for a new seed drop rather than another Candida seed-making project,
urine you're in luck! It turns out that there was no way to squeeze in a NY trip before Thanksgiving, so consider this the first winter grow update.
Here's the first of what got dropped last night...
Amnesia Lemon Kush from Original Sensible Seeds, described thusly:
"An exhilarating shot of Amnesia Lemon is cushioned with a dram of Indica Kush. Amnesia Lemon Kush feminised seeds, with her deep intense citrus aromas, can hit you right between the eyes relaxing the mind, body and soul and deliver a severe blow to any tension or stress the day may bring.
"Amnesia Lemon Kush cannabis seeds thrive in all types of grow mediums and are suitable for SOG and Scrog set ups. Due to her resistance to mold and disease means that cultivators of this marijuana strain can expect bumper crops of the most potent citrusy weed without complications, up to 600 m2 when grown indoors but take this baby outdoors and you can achieve up to 1kilo per plant in the right growing conditions.
"Flowering time indoors is between 65 and 75 days with outdoor harvests ready around mid October.
"Warning ! The psychoactive power of Amnesia Lemon Kush from Original Sensible Seeds is not for the feint hearted – This strain is without doubt recommended only for the seasoned smoker!"
Flowering Time: 65 - 75 Days
THC %: 21%
Type: 40% Indica
Type: 60% Sativa
Taste: Citric, incense
Effect: Cerebral. psychoactive, uplifting, relaxing
Here's a pic from their website.
And for the second plant I dropped two seeds of
Le Creme CBG from Ventura Seed Company (VSC). They describe is like this:
- Feminized
- Early September Fast Finish - Northern Hemisphere
- Heavy Yielding CBGa Dominant
- Uniform Germination
- Emergence with Early Vigor (Outcompetes Competition)
- Dense/Heavy/Low-Leaf Content Flower
- Very Short Internode Distance
- Hybrid Cultivar Produced by Crossing Inbred Lines to Create an F1
- Low Odor
- Boutique Appeal
- Finished Flower Low THC
- Synthetic Cultivar Created by Intercrossing Genotypes of a Known Superior Hybrid Performance (Combining Ability)
There has been a lot of interest in CBG, so when I located an almost pure CBGa variety earlier this year I pooled a few folks together to split the 100 seed minimum that VSC required. And they sent me a couple of lab reports showing total THC under the 0.3 limit for hemp, with GBGa around 14%.
But I can hear you wondering why I'm dropping 2 of those seeds if they're feminized! Here is what they said when I bought them:
"Our Le Creme CBG strain has an auto phenotype. About 20% of the seeds will autoflower after a few weeks. The potency is the same but the yield is much lower. We provide an additional 30% seeds free to compensate."
So I'm dropping two in case one turns out to be an auto (hopefully not both!).
For anyone interested in what CBGa might be helpful for,
here is a link to start you off. It was also shown to be helpful against Covid in lab tests. You can read
@Virgin Ground's post on that
here.
I know I know, pics or it didn't happen (POIDH)!
After shaking the seeds in a sandpaper lined mini-Altoids tin, they soak in bowls of hydrogen peroxide and distilled water:
I put paper towel on top of them to keep them submerged at this stage.
That gets poured off and replace by distilled water:
The bowls go into a box for darkness and into the shoebox on the heat mat, where they're kept around 80ºF:
This morning, about 12 hours later, I tapped them down so they'd sink, and I noticed one of the LeC's had a tail:
Rather than wait until I got home from work when it might have turned into a
floater, I planted it this morning:
And put it back into the shoebox, now with the CFL over it for light and warmth. You can see the seed gets covered with peat, not left like the above pic.
I expect to plant the other two tonight, and then they'll all sit in the
Shoebox of Light® while we wait for them to sprout.
These will be vegged smaller than usual to fit in the 2x4 tent for the winter nights/rainy days, so 5 gallon pots will the final homes.
for following along!

You're welcome here 365 days a year WH, and thanks!
I'm still pondering what I'm going to start next. Maybe Le Creme CBG would be a good choice for me as well, hmmm...
