I find the DDA to be an excellent uplifter of the mood.
Awesome, that's good news for me. I'd rather feel good above the ears than below, so if it comes down to a choice...
I never really have more than traumatic pain on a temporary basis, so I can't speak that much to its pain-modulating abilities.
I will let you know in a couple of months. Either from direct experience or I'll pass someone's words along.
I believe the strain you're seeking in the lot you recently recieved is the Devil's Carnival. It's a crap shoot as to what the seeds will express, but if you get the photo expression you're going to be very pleased TS.
Ironically, if I knew a given example
wouldn't be a photoperiodic plant, it'd be growing now (or in process of). I will probably go back to photos for a while after this auto-flowering grow. I've decided that I don't dislike auto-flowering strains
nearly as much as I used to - but I just have so many more choices available that are photos. And, besides, I can always grow an auto alongside other plants under vegetative light schedule, lol.
Those of us lucky enough to to be growing and smoking the chemovar have been surprised at the potency.
That is good to know. I think I might have seen a community grow thread on the DC. But I'm having such trouble just keeping up with the threads I already read/post in (as evidenced here :icon_roll - I'm almost 70 posts behind).
In the CKS arena, Early Miss is one you might want to consider. I had a friend who used it to successfully tamp down some of the worst back pain I've come across. At the time he was growing only autos outdoors, not having yet set up an indoor space. She finishes in less than 50 days in some cases and packs what some consider a powerful punch.
Oops. I ended up choosing
Crop King Seeds' White Widow Auto. In their catalog, it looks like the CBD chart shows it as having the same amount as Early Miss (.7%), and in the THC chart, it looks like the Early Miss shows as being (potentially, up to, etc.) 20.06% and the White Widow Auto as 21.1%. So they may be somewhat comparable in effect. IDK... There are lots of other cannabinoids present (or, occasionally, not) in various ratios in different strains and even from plant to plant, though, so it could be nearly the same, subtly different, or possibly quite different.
That left enough in the credit to pick CKS' Blueberry, too. That one shows 20.33% THC and
1.4% CBD on the charts. I've read about some folks having experienced issues with it... But I remember a few issues with my examples when the first strain by that name became commercially available, lol, so rather than discouraging me, I thought, "Hmm...
Maybe it's what I remember from years back." I thought at the time that it (the version I encountered) had potential physical(physiological?) benefits more than mental ones, so it could be a keeper. And their Blueberry is a normal strain, so there's potential use for any males, too, at some point in the future when I can either quarantine one here or plant it outside somewhere and return to harvest pollen.
I use higher THC levels than most in my personal regimen, so for me it was more gently experienced, but enjoyable.
I'm not the type to get
mad if something I grew doesn't blow the top of my head off. And, since it'll be gratis, neither will friends or family (other than, possibly, my brother, who's kind of the type of person who'll call and ask you to swap out a bunch of light switches and electrical outlets, and then act like he's doing you a favor when you ask him to give you a ride out to his house so you can do it :rolleyes3 . And by "kind of," I mean that's an actual example, lol).
One can always do an extraction. Or, hey, Magical Butter Machine! I can just picture myself sampling some harvest or other in the future, almost hoping something won't be a great smoking/vaporizing candidate, so I can use it to fuel the Machine
.
The chief advantage is the speed with which she finishes.
I see. IDK whether I consider the relative lifespan of autos
in general to be all that important. If something takes 8-12 weeks from the time you plant it, and a clone takes 9-14 (or, if one is
especially lucky, 16-20
), then it's only a minor difference - and sometimes the difference in potency between a strain and it's "auto-flowering
version" is not all that minor.
Devil's Crack is a cross of Dark Devil Auto and Mephisto's Green Crack. Rifleman likes it and so did Tead. Purple buds, not as deeply colors as the DDA, but purple nonetheless, and a reasonable potent effect. I've yet to grow any.
I keep forgetting all about that one! Now where's my most recent list of things to do? Hmm... Maybe I sent it off to get bound in hardcover, lol.
Walked away there to open curtains and got lost in Candy Cane 3.
I had forgotten the draw of looking at a cannabis plant that is in flower. I
glanced at my little Train Wreck Auto - then realized that I'd picked it up and slowly rotated its bottle so I could gaze at it from every angle (several times). I tried to use my little finger to flip a curled "sugar" leaf straight (didn't work), and the edge of my fingernail came away with wet trichomes on it. It's busy doing what plants do, only in miniature. I couldn't even guess at the harvest amount. The LED panel is only 160 watts, I believe, so
in theory, if I had planted the space full of Train Wreck Autos, all in two-liter bottles, at a spacing of four per square foot... I'd only need an approximately 4.5 gram per plant average to get one gram per watt. And I think that this one just might produce as much as FIVE grams! Just kidding, LMAO, I really haven't a clue. There are a couple pairs of lower buds, and I probably should have removed everything below the top for better production up there - and would have, if I'd already gotten the room packed. Didn't want to get too far ahead of myself before the actual start of things, though, so it has elbow room. Would still fit within a 6"x6" footprint, but there'd be less light reaching its nether regions if it had neighbors close by.
I don't know how you manage to make it out of your apartment with all those plants to look at. Or maybe gardening is like smoking cannabis - after a break, maybe it just seems more enjoyable to me than it actually is. IDK.
I just realized I hadn't checked in here yet today. I rolled out of bed this morning straight into creative mode, taking pictures for the updates, then fell into drenches. Now I'm putting together the pictures with some entertaining narrative. The day's getting away from me.
She's the heaviest pot in the gardens.
