Blimburn Seeds - Anyone use them? grown them?
- Thread starter Till Valhalla
- Start date
these are not really looking great...try something from barneys farm i am sure Blimburn is just cheapest seeds they can get in USA only Gorilla glue sprouted for me from like 6 models i have bought them in 3 seed pack everything other what came in 1seed pack just in plastic bag all inside one box labeled World Wide Cultivars just did not sprouted even after 4-5 days with controling moisture every few hoursthank you! and luck to your next grow as well.
yeah. i was super pleased with their ordering process. very quick. and delivered quick as well. haven't had any customer service issues, so can't speak to that end (prefer not to actually. so far so good *knocks on wood*).
as far as how my blimburn seeds have grown, i just went and snapped some photos of the indoor grows. (please understand this is my first inside grow. i don't have tents and fancy sh*t. just went with what was available... the wife doesn't give up her closet space easily...) overall, i am very pleased with how well they are growing and or bounced back from a stressful move to new space with new light. they have been tested with MANY of my indoor n00b f*ckups and all come out still ready to rock. genetics look stable from my end and i am pleased i have more blimburn seeds to run. *thumbs up*
Grow space 1
- Blimburn GDP (grandaddy purple) started one seed out of 3. it cracked and had a tail within 24hrs (paper towel method). it has been a vigorous grower since transplanting to soil (i do all organic/OMRI certified soils, amendments and fertilizers) responded just fine to training methods (topping, supercropping, LST) and is now in it's 4th week of flower.
i ended up taking three clones from this one seeing how well it was growing. two survived, and are growing vigorously in small pots.
Grow space 2
- Blimburn GDPDSD (GranDaddy Purple + Do Si Dos) started one seed out of 3. it cracked and had tail within 36hrs. a little bit slower growth than the others. had a vigorous veg stage, under original lights, had to move the plants to different space and under different (more intense) light. this one suffered pretty bad shock from the light change and took the longest to recover out of the 3 that had to move to grow space 2. it is in week 4 of flower. it has wispy buds that are taking their sweet time to thicken up. but my lord the trich production absolutely blows the others away. even the fan leaves have some trichs on them. really curious to see how this finishes up. the whispy buds make me skeptical, but then i look at the trich production this early in flower and say... this could be really strong...
- Blimburn BBMR (BlackBerry MoonRocks) started one seed out of 3. cracked and had tail within 24hrs. vigorous veg state until the space/light change. this one suffered pretty bad as well being centered under the new light. but it recovered much faster/better than GDPDSD. once it righted itself from the light change shock, it got back into veg with purpose. it is a small in stature plant. expecting some chunky buds from this one.
- Seedsman PG (Peyote Gorilla (GG4 + Peyote Purple (bubba kush purple phenotype)) this strain is a beast so far. it took some damage with the light change but sloughed it off like it was a mere annoyance. it bounced back quick and loved the new light. veg required topping, supercropping and lots of lst before it all even reached the scrog screen. it's truly a beast. very impressive growth and (so far) flower production... even in this small ass pot! can't wait to sample this. i have high expectations based on how this plant has grown.
i ended up taking 3 clones from this plant seeing how well it was growing. sadly only 1 of 3 survived (puppy knocked them over) but the one survivor is growing insanely quick. have had to top it already. this strain is legit imo for the seedsman haters.

Blimburn Seeds Bank is just reseller of seeds that they dont even have posibility to check for quality... same thing is Fair Seeds from Czech Republic but they are selling same strains for 5€ per seed and Blimburn 15€
Blimburn have around 10 own models like Mamba Negra everything other they resell. Yes you can find a good plants between them me personally got very good OG Kush from them but lot of seeds are pure garbage that will never sprout really save your time and money and buy from reputable seedbank like Dutch Passion Sensi Seeds Barneys Farm etc.

save your time with this seedbank i have so bad experience with them i spend time warning others

What other strains did they include in this study? That strain list reads like a dutch/uk seedbank advertisement.. jes sayin. The problem is there's a baziliion other strains out there, and if you're in the US, you have lots of options.
Have you thought about growing any CBD strains? Is CBD beneficial for alzheimers/dimentia?

the headaches could be a multitude of things. patient on hormone therapy as well and THC can affect estrogen/testosterone levels. getting everything balanced is like trying to transport water in a sieve. we can plug a few holes, but not all. we don't know for sure if its the purple queen strain or not, but patient complains of headaches about an hour after ingesting the PQ gummies. very consistent.
testing buds? no. nothing that fancy. though the wife would like to test the gummies to be certain of their strength to dial in the dosage... looking for home test devices. but probably mess with it more after the holidays.
yes. all organic grow. organic oils for infusion. and have to use special sugar free gelatins for the gummies and/or keto/gluten free brownies. (patients diet is ridiculously strict - but for good reason. gut health and alzheimers are directly linked).
the terps are pretty important here. hopefully be responsible for handling a few of the more pronounced symptoms. i had to dive down that rabbit hole for a bit last year trying to seek alternatives to "the list" when availability of specific seeds became an issue. strains with similar terp profiles, or genetic descendants of "the list" ended up on the radar.
any advice or tips are great. would welcome splinter's feedback.
i guess my biggest issue is getting through all these strains... growing them. i don't have the space to get them all going... and living in a non-legal state doesn't help much. gotta keep things discreet. might need to outsource... find some local growmies willing to run some of these strains for me to test out on patient.

you aren't the first one with that observation. understand the studies were started back in the late 80's early 90s and those particular strains were either avail or apex at the time.
fast forward to today 30yrs later... lots of crosses and new strains. i am pretty sure some offspring of the list of 15s would achieve the same thing, but at least with the studies, we have a base of data to work from. will worry about modern crosses when i see what old school strains actually work as advertised. from there finding the right THC and terp profiles should be easier to do.
i did grow two CBD strains. (purple kush cbd and cream and cheese cbd) contrary to my own thoughts before starting the research, i was thinking that CBD would be more beneficial. it is actually HIGH THC content that is removing the plaques that build up between neurons in the brain. high concentrations of CBD do not help in that manner.
the only thing we have seen CBD help with is the anxiety.

I get what you're saying, but whatever strains they tested were individual specimens? Were entire seed lines tested to ensure they all have the same properties? There's just so much variability, I question the value of these types of studies.
I'm with you though, individual terps and terp profiles are what to look for. I would steer away from strain-based studies, and look more at specific terps, and then what strains are known to be high in those terps.
You also need to take a grain of salt with whatever a bulk seed outfit says is "OG Kush" or "Sour Diesel" These are clone-only strains, and anything you're likely to purchase from a bulk outfit has been crossed or watered down.
That's not to say good example of these clone-only strains, or old school seed lines can't be found, but you'll need to dig a little. Otherwise you're likely to be disappointed, or blissfully unaware of any difference.

Humboldt seeds can not currently sell seeds, website says they are working on it. Probably the state wants thier cut first?

Humboldt Seed Org. was part of the La Mota troubles with the Spanish government (Dinafem was also part of this). They are not a US seedbank.

I didn't have any issues at all. Also on medical therapy of various types as you mentioned. I also suffer from chronic headaches. They come in two forms related to weed. One is from being too dehydrated. As the thc goes up in ur system the headache worsens. The other is from coughing which gives me headaches related to the eyes. Sometimes the next day too. The crit kush made headaches feel pretty good. There was notable CBD presence which feels awesome. I have noticed some allergy issues from vaping or smoking a lot....or if I handle a lot of bid. An anti histamine clears it up. Still nothing in crit jus to cause headaches the lemonene level seems super high. I can get messed up eyes when carophylene is low and lemonene is high.

i ran into the same problem a few weeks ago. their OG Kush was back in stock, but unable to buy from their website. any links to redirect to reseller showed out of stock.
lame.

that is one of the first questions i ask the wife when the headache issue comes up:
"is patient dehydrated?"
sometimes the answer is a resounding yes.
getting the patient to eat and drink, even when they are absolutely stomach growling hungry, is like pulling teeth. they don't like the food or drink you offer? they aint eating it. regardless of being hungry.
the acapulco gold is the only one (so far) that gets the appetite up and the level of pickiness down.

not sure you are aware, but aging leads to lower water retention. it might be difficult to know how dehydrated one is. my guess is most older folks are very dehydrated. i don't know a single old person that i thinks drink enough water. they should be aiming for nearly a gallon a day, imo, as should anyone.

yeah. this gets complex. with the way her mind works (now).
the eating and drinking thing is also connected with (perceived) discomfort in going to the restroom... where sometimes the preference is to just pee pants or bed. the toilet has been replaced, handles, arm rests, bidet, special raised seat, etc etc.... but sometimes "conditions" are off by a millimeter. so instead of sitting, it's stand up and everything just goes everywhere. kinda frustrating. so when she remembers the accidents, she will stop eating/drinking so she doesn't go to the bathroom. the acapulco gold seems to get through all that mental mess and get her to focus on eating... and she will eat a LOT when she cuts loose. take what we can get. she's still just hovering above that weight where they take her to hospital and feed her thru tube. (she will lose her sh*t if that happens...) but we have (painstakingly) slowly been getting her to gain weight. stretch her stomach out more so she can eat more than just a spoonful of eggs per meal. she can and will eat a full child's portion meal now. so thank you acapulco gold... but we gotta find a backup for that in case she develops a tolerance to AG.
i agree the water intake needs to increase. we DO try. but if she doesn't want it, she won't take it. many times for reasons that are completely illogical. But this is how she operates now. we do try and sneak liquids in other ways... she has to drink a lot of protein shakes if she's not eating and she does like those so is more apt to drink the whole thing.
she has visiting nurses and other health workers coming by the house to check on her. plus, i used to be a medic in the airborne. we keep an eye on her... and do our best. she is not always agreeable. can get pretty hard to work with. despite all this (including the weight) the doctors, nurses and tests they keep running show healthy heart, lungs and other major organs... just issues with the brain.
thanks for your responses and insights. appreciated.
Ok, After reading some information on Alzheimer's for about 10 minutes im an expert on it now
From what I read the biggest factor in treating is going to be CBD and THC as a study shows to have one a better job at removing Beta-amyloid in the brain than either CBD or THC alone. So you should pickup some CBD strains and process them in the same gummies as your High THC strains together. Beta-amyloid is a very sticky protein Probiotics will help break it down, and may assist in processing her gummies in the gut. I took probiotic pills but I notices kimche and saurcraut works better but more is better.
Pinene has shown to get good results for Alzheimer's and Dementia. Years ago good growers on instagram teased people that had pine terps, it was a running joke the market was moving away from pine terps anyway. However it has anti microbial, anti depressant and anti-inflammatory benefits. Bro Science Drs believe inflammation aids in the disease, sometimes bro science is right.
Get you some hazes or some jack to get thats heavily abundant in this terp. I mentioned Bodhi has a very fine one. You already have a sativa and it already gives you anti depressant benefits so thats great. You will fine both lemon phenos and pine in that strain bodhis jackxhashplant. Pinene improves memory function. Super lemon haze has some pine and some lemon phenos.

i have two hazes on deck for next spring:
- super lemon haze
- super silver haze
and one more sativa high in lemonene
- strawberry lemonade
all of the above were either on "the list" or have similar terpene profiles.
as far as CBD strain, i grew 3 this last summer.
- 1 x cream and cheese cdb 1:1 (18% thc : 18% cbd)
- 2 x purple kush cdb 1:1 (7% thc : 7% cbd)
we actually started her off on the purple kush cbd to ease her into a low percentage THC strain. made a tray of keto brownies (that she ended up NOT liking to eat... (that was fun)) that were infused. everything was new and a LOT to observe, but we kept notes. after that tray of brownies was gone we stopped using that strain. after a bit of time, we somewhat changed what symptoms were priority and which were not. we will take the anxiety as long as she eats... eating became the top priority. she was losing weight disturbingly quick.
we found the strains with lower cbd and higher thc were more bound to get her to eat... but the THC made her nervous/anxious. we ended up getting bottle of CBD extract from "the healing rose" company. we used that in conjunction with the THC oil/gummies and got a satisfactory result (for all involved).
i have not tried extracting the cream and cheese yet tho... we may try it, but for now, have found a combination that works with the "balancing act".
her whole condition is contradictory. the chemo fried her brain and stomach. the photos they took from the stomach camera showed her stomach lining blackened from chemical burns. certain foods and medicines she can't eat, no matter how beneficial to her, because it will cause her great discomfort, visual bloating (gets so bloated with gasses sometimes she looks pregnant - and it's all so very painful to her... drives up her stress levels which results in more problems with her brain (alz patients need to stay calm. high stress causes them to have mini-strokes which causes even more damage in the brain).
she needs to eat tomatoes for antioxidants? well, she can't. the acid in the tomatoes hurts her stomach, so she won't eat for2 days. needs to take medicines for anxiety? well, she can't. the pills make her bloat for 2 days, so she won't eat for 3.
needs to drink milk for calcium? well, she can't. makes her vomit or diarrhea.
found something she likes to eat all the time? well, she can't, because it has too much sugar in it and the sugar is bad for her alz brain.
need her to sleep? try melatonin... nope... makes her brain worse and affects her heart.
she's constipated? give her a lax... nope. can't. gives her terrible diarrhea that goes everywhere and she stops eating for days.
*sigh*
everything is a balancing act. trying to find food she likes (that she can eat and doesn't make her sicker), medicine that works (and doesn't make any other symptom worse). 1 step forward, 4 steps back.
i have watched my poor wife age like 10yrs in the last 5 months.
