SubCool Supersoil In SIPs With EWC, CBD Autos For Aspergers

[CBDMed]

I think I've said this before, but I'll say it again... I think it's way better to grow a pure CBD strain -and- a THC strain, and then grind your buds and mix in whatever ratio is best for you. This takes care of the CBD and THC that you're consuming, while the terpenes are a different issue.

Yes, you and several others recommended it, and I tried it, thanks!
I grew SDAC (Swiss Dream Auto CBD), and it got nice big girls with big big buds! (I started to wonder if I wanted to go back to photos, or not...) But the flavor and the vapor were not there. It tasted like sucking on hot cardboard (and very little vapor)
Now, I like NYC Diesel, and Harle-Tsu, and those are not particularly nice flavors...but just something about SDAC did not do it for me.
That said I think I still also have Pink Kush in an auto, and I think Charlotte's Web Auto but I would have to check.

If you are consuming CBD itself for the medicinal benefits, then this is definitely the way to go. One primary reason: you're going to get way more CBD from pure CBD strains. I've got two going right now, my CBD #1, #9, and #18 phenos of Cherry Blossom, all are 10% CBD; and Sweet Critical CBD, 15% CBD. I mentioned before that I grew a sativa-dominant CBD, Seedsman 30:1, and it came in around 12% CBD (I think), but unfortunately had a lot of powdery mildew. In a 10 gal. pot, it could have done better. But anyway, there are many pure CBDs to choose from, and many above 10% CBD.

Thanks!
The CBD is a real stabilizer for me. I do not know how else to say it, but with CBD I can take a lot more Frass from the world and it rolls off my back. Without CBD it is much, much, much easier to have a bad day and a tailspin that takes time to recover from. (CBD is like a miracle medicine. Hard to explain.)
I appreciate the THC for other reasons.
My favorite strains are Harlequin (everyone ELSE likes it when I take that which I think is like 8:1 but sativa and still some THC
CBD God (which is like 4:1...but that is more like Pie Face, for serious alone time or prayer time.)
SDAC tastes like a dirty diaper.
I have hopes for Pink Kush Auto, and Charlotte's Web Auto.
I have Seedsman 30:1, and also DeliMed CBD+ to try.
Also, a friend is sending me some Candida to try...
THe main thing is the CBD effect, but I would be lying if I said I did not want it to taste good and also have some THC.
I also had a head injury, and the THC helps form new synapses.
Amazingly beneficial little plant all the way around.

If you are seeking both indica and sativa effects, then I'd say grow a sativa-dominant THC plant, and an indica-dominant THC plant. (Meaning type 1 plants - high THC, very low CBD). In other words, you can get your effects from the THC plants, not the CBD plant(s).

I can try. SDAC was not it.
(I did not really care for Royal CBDV, either...)
What "hits it" for me seems to be a chemotype II, 1:1, 2:1, 4:1, up to 8:1.
Afghan Mass XXL seems to be a sativa that hits it for me (lemon?? earth?? a little citrus?? not sure. I am not the best one to describe the flavors, I just know when it hits.)

If you are seeking mold/fungus resistance for both CBD and THC plants,

Yes.
It is humid here.
I would not have chosen humid, but this is what the Spirit provided.

then yes, look at the terpene profiles of the phenotypes. And again, BIG important point here... virtually all seed these days are for sativa/indica hybrids, and those will produce 2 or more phenos. These phenos could be either sativa-dominant/leaning or indica-dominant/leaning, and in my mind, there is a direct correlation to the terpene profiles.

Like you, I like both sativa and indica for different things.
Probably I have a lot to learn about terpenes.
Chemotype 2 seems to work best for me, but I am still experimenting with Type 3.
The breeders throw so many THC frees at you that growing out some THC is a given but I am looking at Chemotype 2 1:1 up to 8:1 long term.
All THC does not seem to do much for me. I grew out those 11 Roses Auto and cobbed them in case someone loves all THC.
If the CBD survives the cobbing process we will have to look again, because the cobbing process is supposed to make everything taste bad (regardless).

If you try to combine everything into one plant – i.e. sativa/indica effects, CBD, THC, flavor, and mold/fungus resistance – that's going to be a very challenging task.

Hmmm... I would have to agree.
I think one plant, not so much.
I think maybe a dozen plants, yes, all ideally with at least 1:1 CBD, unless the cobbing process changes my outlook.
1:1 CBD is really the least CBD I like, but I do like some THC (depending on what I am doing).
The more creative, the more THC.
The more I have to be present for "da man" or for motor coordination skills, the less THC.

Well, impossible actually, if you sometimes want sativa effects, and sometimes want indica effects. I mean, generally speaking, indica is associated with a relaxing body high, while sativa is associated with a more mental, energizing high. You can of course arrive at combinations of those two types of highs, but for me, personally, I like to separate the two.

Yes, I agree.
Typically I either want a Sativa creative uplift (which is also relaxing), OR I want indica sit down and focus (which can also be creative, depending).
Indica chemotype 2 is not hard to find, and there are many very helpful and enjoyable pre-existing strains.
Sativa chemotype 2 is harder to find, but we will get there.
Right now (and for the next many years) we just have to grow out a bunch of seeds, and see what works best

Another important factor: the amount of CBD you are consuming in combination with THC will moderate the psychoactive effects of the THC, so having the two buds separate allows you to fine-tune the type of high you are getting.

I understand.
Usually what I do is to reach for the chemotype 2 that appeals at the moment.
If I am going for a walk and talk business meeting, sativa. If I have to sit and focus, indica.
Autistic people generally have a real hard time with sleep (which does not help!), because the body does not make enough serotonin, so I have to make mango tea twice a day. And then if I have the right strain right before bed (nightcap), I can generally relax and sleep well until morning.
(The body insists on early to bed, early to rise--8:30PM to 4:30 AM--and if I do not do that, I do not sleep well, guaranteed.)

For a nightcap strain, Northern Lights CBD seems to knock me out the best, although there are others. (For some reason it makes the concerns go away until morning.)
(I think I should look for a Pie Face CBD also. CBD God would probably also work great.)

It is hard to explain but with bad scoliosis, a head injury, army injuries, and autism, chemotype 2 just seems to be what I want. I am sure other people have other combinations that work well for them, but so far in my journey, I am looking for every chemotype 2 that tastes good and works good for me, or works better for other people (Harlequin, Harle-Tsu, etc.)
I am sure other people have other needs, and other approaches.
I still hope to grow out the CT3 seeds, and hopefully I will find one I like, and that will change the ballgame again, in a happy way

Got to run. Hopefully I should have some more time starting tomorrow. I hope to get those other buckets planted.
Maybe I will try to plant a Pink Kush, and a Charlotte's Web, just to do it
Since the Afghan Mass XXL and the Delicious Cheese are big girls, probably I will limite myself to 12 plants this time. Maybe I can squeeze in a couple of CT3...

Thanks, Bill!
I tried to source Bokashi and Frass, but it was another expensive ship-in, and they do not make a local equivalent.
I tried to cut up an apple and let the flies eat it, but it was a bad idea
It sounds like trying to recreate the best of the natural ecosystem.
How do I give the girls High Brix?

They need to be healthy and well fed.
Bokashi & frass help the root zone pick up lots of nutrients.

Question
For DynoMyco, I measure out how much to use in my SIP, which is for 3.75L of SOIL.
So do I add that the DM to the soil before or after adding Perlite?
Because if we are adding 50% Perlite to SIPs, then 3.75 L becomes 7.5 L, which calls for twice as much DynoMyco...

So, in other words, do I add the DM to the straight soil and then dilute 50% with Perlite?
Or do I dilute 50% with Perlite, and then add DM for 3.75 liters?
Thanks.

 

[cbdhemp808]

I hear you on the 1:1 strains, which of course is a general term for the chemotype 2, and the ratio can vary a lot depending on the strain. Whatever works my friend . One reason it's working for you may be because I have noticed that THC sort of acts like a volume control knob for the CBD effects. I.e. turn up the THC and CBD effects go up. And CBD is a control knob for the THC... turn up the CBD and the THC effects go down. Maybe. ha ha... so many variables, too, because there's sativa/indica and also the terpenes. But again, I think there's a definite correlation between sativa/indica and the terpene profiles. I see the "pine terpenes" as being associated with sativa (terpinolene, pinene, terpinene, ocimene), and the non-pine terpenes associated with indica (myrcene, limonene, caryophyllene, humulene). When the pine terps are dominant, it's a sativa. When the non-pines are dominant, it's an indica. When they are evenly matched, it's a 50/50. I experimented with some buds that I dried in a small jar with a moisture packet in the fridge and all the terpenes got zapped out of it. So it was a test of a THC bud with basically no terpenes. I vaped some of that and the high was interesting... hard to explain. Just not like a normal high from the same bud with some terpenes intact. I would say it was sort of just... "flat".

I think we all need related-but-slightly-different things.
One cool thing about 420 is we can share and collaborate on how we get our uniques met.

Hmmm.... very interesting thought.
I will have to track for that.

Wow that makes a lot of sense at a lot of levels.

If that is true, it would be very good.

There is some website in Europe that lists all of the breeding history. I forget what it is called but I will find it.
I guess I should do like you say and check through all of the terpene profiles. That would be very interesting.


(Oh, wait!... hahaha! )

 

[Azimuth]

How do I give my girlies High Brix?

Brix is a measure of the health of the plant. Just like a good EKG result at your doctor's office. It's not something you give its a measure of health.

A good, balanced organic soil with lots of minerals seems up become way to get it so you'd SubCool Supersoil should stand you in good stead.

 

[cbdhemp808]

I think you probably mean seedfinder.eu... yeah, amazing website!

As for terpene profiles, Kannapedia.net is an excellent searchable database. Also MCRLabs has a database of test results, including terpene profiles. Unfortunately, most all the strains in these databases are not chemotype 3. You can find some of the more popular CBD strains.

Candida seeds are harvested. They need to dry for a couple of weeks and then I'll test germ a couple. It's definitely not PM resistant but I'm working on some new methods for fighting it. None of mine have had bud rot though.

If the soil had dynomyco last time and you're reusing it, you can use a lot less dyno because the fungus lives in the soil. I'd go with 1tsp/gallon of pot size at that point.

Chiming in here with a Candida terpene info...

From Seedfinder... "in order of most prevalent to least: myrcene, betacaryophyllene, pinene, linalool, limonene & humulene."

Know as a 50/50 hybrid.

There are two phenos for Candida though. One is more sativa than the other, but I don't know how different they are. They don't look all that different, but the breeder did always mention that.

 

[CBDMed]

Hahaha, thanks.
I guess I will have to refine my statement: I was not crazy about the flavor of ACDC.

Or SDAC

I still love baby pictures
Is this eager early girl too young to feed? (She has not even stood up yet.)

 

[InTheShed]

Is this eager early girl too young to feed?

I start feeding when the second set of leaves are almost fully in, but if you're using GeoFlora then now would be the time to top-dress. It takes a while to dissolve and work its way into the root zone.

Am I missing something, cuz I thought this was super soil... no need to feed yet??

 

[InTheShed]

I didn't go back to check what the seeds were in so I just figured I'd answer the question generally! If it's supersoil in the sprout soil then no need to feed.

 

[CBDMed]

Good questions and comments. Yes, it is original subcool super soil.
There is about one "solo cups worth" of normal roots organic soil that is scooped and mounded into a small crater in the middle. There is DynoMyco at the bottom of the crater, and also maybe 1/2 inch up above the level of the air dome, around the outside ring, to encourage the roots to go down into the reservoir.
sorry for the funny text, it's voice typing.

EDIT: do I give it any fertilizer at all, since there is super soil close at hand?
(ha ha, oops! I do not think I even did a top water yet.)

 

[InTheShed]

If it's that small amount of roots organic then I think you can skip feeding. By the time the plant's hungry the roots should be into the Subcool supersoil. This assumes the supersoil works according to plan of course!

 

[cbdhemp808]

I'm guessing it will be an impressive result in the SIP bucket w/ the super soil.
