Background: Three stress from work was not doing me any favors. two nervouse breakdowns removed me from the work force. The prescription: golf, relax and relieve a life's worth of stress and PTSD at a rate of 3 grams per day or 3 oz per month. 15max indoor plants for my new ACMPR, PPL permit.
I didn't smoke any kind of relief prior to this. So off I go to you tube and learn. The first year...mistakes and killing herbs.
Preseant: nothing is dying under both rectangular 300watt units and a UFO 210watt LEDs. Nice to get away from CFLs...Pros: cheap. Cons: 1. too much heat for the output, 2. too much humidity while budding, 3. higher humidity= pests, mold and mildew, 4. toxic to humans and plants when they break, 5. CFL bulb life span is less than an LED, 6. LEDs comsume less power per the illumination provided. etc...
This is a momentus occassion! The very first cycle with Varius CBD is about to end with harvest in under a month. (A single seed from a container I traded with another patient). The "trichomes" have transitioned to frost in just over a month. *I note that in just one month the transition from vegging plant to budding has been relatively quick using LEDs. The herbs have more robust stems and trichomes developed one week faster than with CFLs.
I choose to clone over reseeding every cycle. I also love a good high followed by a calming body stone. To keep focus and aware I can have as much THC as required but nt without CBD. PTSD, Anxiety and Head Trauma with high THC abd absent CBD makes my mind wander. Focus drops, anxiety and tension sets in. So I grow a hybrid Indica with ample CBD like Kush strains and my current Varius CBD.
So I think...clone once per month the total fillable space in the flower room. Not sure if I want all in or to insert new plants every month to have something out each month? (The latter would have more planning but more flexibility for failures).
Please keep in mind that this Varius CBD is going through it's very first full cycle since seed. I don't know what the outcome will be other than it is 100% female. It has not one seed sack on it, just hairs. I know it is female and has thin airy branches but is not scragly thin nor freaking out. 4 of them currently sit in 3 gallon soil pots under LED and SOG till finish. The medical version from MedReleaf was weak in effects and did not smell of anything so I am stocked to see the final cured result. So far the vegging version is not skunky but you know an herb is nearby. It grew single nodes which spiral up to the top giving lots of freash air. The budding four each stand aprox 3+ feet tall, they smell fruity and earthy but the carbon filter is actually keeping any scent at minimum. I hope each plant will produce at least an ounce per when cured. The 4 are six weeks into budding and frost has begun. I guess this is a good time to hunt down a scope.
Ideas, comments, concerns, questions?
