searching right strains for lifetime using

[Switcher56]

I was going to mention GDP for the insomnia and couch lock also


Here’s a good thread for sleepy time strains

https://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?threadid=340870

Been there bought the T-shirt :wink:


Read through the link. Interesting read and a corroboration of one of my beliefs that, strains affect different physiology differently. e.g

• one op uses Bubba Kush = Nighty night. I use it during the day. No nighty night there. Just an overall very mellow buzz
• Chocolope
• Green Crack to name a few. Folks that leaned heavy on the sativas for nighty night may have some ADD/ADHD tendencies, known or under the surface. Stimulation works backwards in ADD patient.

ADHD and sleep

I’ve tried but haven’t found any strain that will consistently put me to sleep. Some will ruin my day though. That includes sativas. Tried a hazy strain this morning with dextroamphetamine still no ambition. That’s why I’m here

Skunk is a good day smoke. Good mood, not too foggy or stupid or thought provoking. Depends on what sort of day it is and how much of what you do is surrounded around cannabis.

I found m39 to be a food potent up and long lasting stone. I don't know whos but some sour d was stupid. Wasn't grown the best but it was a powerful stone. Not really good in my book formdoing much. It was probably rez's cause he crossed back off of m39.

If you can find and IF you can find a good white widow, ak47 or rhino. Those all can have potent phenos and are a bit more fumctional. Also some good hawaiian sativas. In fact there is a hawaiian crossed to blue dream on the market.

I like about 15 minutes to an hour of intense distortion and a medatative experience. Indicas settle into more of a stone after that, a sativa just clears up. Often smoke leaves one surprised and it's always nice to have a smoke that still can leave us functioning and not wreck the day.

chimera's C+ , subcools agent orange and crocketts tangie. all are great daytime smokes that aren't over powering or overly racy/psychedelic. all sativa dominant hybrids and all have pleasant orange/citrus terpenes. in my personal experience I find that orange weed isn't too heavy. nice clear functional effect but you definitely feel stoned still. all 3 are great combos of flavor and effect.

bubba kush and god bud really put me down for the night. the godbud is a really good variety with awesome yeild and crazy trich production. very lathargic and hypnotic smoke. one of my all time favorite cultivars. she'll ring your bell.

 

[Easy7]

Ripeness of harvest also determines effects. I found bubba peaked at the right time, chem hydro, was 'chatty'.

Genetics is half the equation, environment is another half. What one grower does inside, can be vastly different outside, or inside by another grower. People sum up though. Same goes for outdoor location. Some climates are very different, as is soil.

Wow! Different strokes for different folks Everyone's physiology is different. I use Bk during the day

is it good idea to go like 80% milky for sativa and 20% amber for indica?

that i know curing is important process of growing and then you will find right aromas, texture & effect.

If you harvest many sativas before there're any amber trichs, the effect can be racy and can induce anxiety and paranoia. Ofcourse it is strain dependant but later harvest will usually calm sativas down abit.
..or even quite abit.

The earlier you harvest indicas the less stoney they'll get. Amsterdam's coffeeshop indicas are probably harvested around 20%-30% amber, just a guess. If you're growing sleep meds it's better to harvest them later, around 50% amber.

Harvest times are strain dependant and how the grower likes his/her smokes. Weed harvested too early isn't usually as potent as it would be with later harvest.


When you're growing next time, say a strain that is adviced to be harvested @77 days (11 weeks), you can cut off sample buds starting after 9 weeks, then 10 weeks maybe even let her go 12 weeks and see how you like it. Then the next grow you will know what harvest time suits you the best with this particular clone.

Clones of a plant will usually finish abit sooner than the plant grown out of a seed, cause many times people start flowering their seedlings before they are fully mature.

Great stuff! I know different strains have/show different characteristics but, when is a seedling mature in your opinion?

Talking about modern indoor hybrids, I'm not sure when they're "fully" mature, but at east you want them to show preflowers. 60 days +.
Some landrace sativas can take very long to show sex, they say.

 

[green404]

I like a good uplifting hybrid with a smooth light come down. Golden Goat, Bruce Banner, Blue Dream are some that I like for general anytime use.

 

[Jellyfish]

Which do you like better?- Tangie or Agent Orange? Very similar strains, and some say they're the same thing!


I love Tangie and C Plus- I agree they are both very good daytime smoke!

... umm what am I missing here? 60+ days = 3 days short of 9 weeks. I thought we veged for 4 and flower for 8-9 weeks, for a total of 3 months.
I further understand that do your growth, cropping/fiming etc... all in veg to allow for proper canopy spread. e.g if not ready at week 4, go to 5 or even 6 weeks, before inducing flowering.
It is also my understanding that it is during the flowering phase that sex is determined or, have I been led astray or missed something?


We might be speaking a different form of English LOL. I consider a plant a seedling until they show their 3 full sets of leaves. Am I wrong to consider veging starts at that point e.g 2 weeks in. Then veg for 6 weeks (what I want to do (should I consider them large enough)) then flip em. Curious minds wanna know

Well, i hope you don't mind, but i don't wanna fill this thread with unrelated grow-info. Most people here on ICMag want to keep threads on topic.
You asked me about when plants reach MATURITY when i told most growers start flowering their plants earlier, and i gave you a reply. Read my posts again. If you flower plants after 4-5 weeks after they pop out of the soil, they aren't sexually MATURE yet and most likely you can't see pre-flowers by that time.


I'm sure you will find more info on cannabis plant's MATURITY here in ICMag or by Googling it. Let's keep the thread on the original topic.
Peace.

Thanks for nothing! I hear you and support your POV (keeping threads on track), but you have been discussing growing yourself.
The only stupid Q is the one that doesn't get asked.
PS: I own shares in Google

once a seedling has dropped its cotyledons it is officially in veg. atleast that's how ive always looked at it. its like dropping the training wheels, so to speak.

 

[Mlewis1987]

I have a critical that’s really great for daytime smoke. At least for me it is, I can keep a pretty clear mind and still get a decent buzz. I’m running it a second time now and I let it go 9 weeks the first time and am thinking I’ll give it an extra week this time to see if anything changes.

 

[Kaskadian]

For depression, anxiety, etc I think you've got a lot of really great sativa options if you're patient enough to grow em'. Just gotta be careful with your selection since some sativas will give you that racing heart, anxiety driven effect. It really depends on what you're looking for; everyone's tastes will vary from person to person. I know it's personal preference, but for me I don't enjoy smoking indica dominant anything during the day because it makes me tired, sluggish/slow feeling.

I'd recommend a couple of these for ya for all day use. I'll include some of Dubi's strain descriptions as well. Ace produces a lot of really excellent stuff, and if you have any questions while growing Dubi is always around the Ace forums to help out and provide feedback. Can't say enough good things about Ace/Dubi. Hope this helps. Forgot to add... all of these strains would be excellent candidates for cobbing too if that's the route you'd like to take in the future. Tangwena is an excellent resource for this technique as I'm sure you've already seen his thread.

Here's one of my Honduras cross cobs still in the fermentation stage... (Purple Haze x Honduras).

Ace Seeds: Ethiopian

Classic african sativa effect: clean, mental, uplifting and positive, of medium strength. It leaves you happy and light, with a big smile on the face. Without mental or body heaviness. Perfect for day time smoke and for activities.

Ace Seeds: Honduras

Clean, energetic, all in the head 'Feel good!' sativa effect of moderate strength and duration, without ceiling, tiredness in the body or hangover.

Ace Seeds: Lebanese

Clean, cheerful and pleasant, a great quality high that is smooth and not too long lasting, with great medicinal potential due to its remarkable content in CBD.

Man, that is one of the best photos of the Malawi cob curing technique I have ever seen. That shit looks crazy good, wow!
