I like pretty much any strain with the word blueberry in it![]()
Oh for sure! I usually start ay 1/4 to 1/8th a dose depending on how potent it is. My first MJ experience was when i baked a little into a muffin. I only had half the muffin and it was way to much, sadly that was only about 1/16th of a teaspoon ground per serving. Havent tried anything yet yesterday and today have been really bad. Today was a vape till i am nearly asleep kind of days but heck thats better than puking till i pass out in it.Careful with edibles. Its difficult to judge dosing and its too late once you figure out it was too much.
Nice to hear your finding your zone.Almighty I'm back. Ive tried out Cali Gold (the non lab tasted i got on vacation) 3 times now and its an in between-er for me. I'm not in love but i don't hate it. Its not one that hits me like a truck thankfully and it doesn't appear to make me too dizzy but I've been majorly dehydrated so its a bit hard to separate it out. It doesn't give me as bad a dry mouth ad others I've tried.
Ive had a few hits across the day today since I've been feeling extra nauseous not heave over a bowl kind but an i don't want to move and make it worse kind and it has helped. It seems to make me crave starch slightly more than usual but it not full blown munchies. The main downsides are i do get occasional head rushes/light dizzy feeling through the whole active time (about 2 hours) rather than just in the first 15 to 20 minutes. And it makes me tired and a little lax in motivation. Even when i feel better i find myself just sitting around.
To me i think id keep this as an after 5 or 6pm strain but I'm still feeling it out.
ETA: Sometimes i still laugh at the strange circumstances of my life now. Mentally going through the list of what i need to get done today i realized i needed to clean my screens, grind more of my PM med (querkle), clean my curved solo stem, get out my lozenges to try (i keep all but 2 days worth of meds in a safe), clean my grinder and add ball bearings, and change the meds in my daytime stem. Its still so odd to me but it doesn't matter I'm thankful for relief and the fine company of you FCers![]()
Funny you say that!@ataxian
Stop it you're making me jealous
Would love access to some real 15 to 20 week grown sativas in the 1980s a friend grew a Jamaican seed described as special stock and it was. Hot summer in the UK that year grew it in a greenhouse and had to bend it. Let it grow full term and boy was it worth it.
I find a heavy Indica sometimes lovely in the day but that's the recreational attraction![]()
Nice to hear your finding your zone.
I'm pretty close however still on a journey as you well put it.
I use to love Pure Gold, CO2 Oil when I first started medicating after the drugs the doctors gave were causing too many side effects.
These oils all give me a headache now days.
FLOWERS are the best for me.
Then I have this problem were some strains freak me out?
I'm into mixing these days (kind of like formulating).
Back when I was young we didn't have all these different strains.
It was more pure.
I think all these unqualified growers cross bred all these different strains and created a gene pool of mutts!
I find that if I take a pure INDICA and a pure SATIVA and make the medicine I need at the time works best.
Right now I'm still learning this method and trying to figure it out.
I don't want to sound like a know it all however this is working for me.
Instead of growing 400 different strains I take two pure (INDICA & SATIVA)
Don't do this anyone as I'm just experimenting.
This is only my theory.
I could explain the science: {geology, botany} however this is only a summary!
Before bed = 100% INDICA
WAKE UP = 100% SATIVA
EARLY MORNING = 80%S + 20%I
MID DAY = 70/30
EARLY EVENING = 50/50
Now I have to grow my own to achieve this method because the dispensaries have to many types for me to deal with.
What I discovered is that CANNABIS as turned into a money making machine kind of like food processing. These 55 day flower strains are breed this way. In nature the flower period is much longer. SATIVA freaks me out because we have cut short it's life cycle.
20 weeks is normal for flower in nature.
Slow gradual maturing of the flowers makes SATIVAS incredible.
For commercial growing this is bad for business.
6 - 9 weeks is more Ideal for commercial growing.
20 weeks is non profit (Electricity, Nutrients, Labor)
Sativas can be wonderful if grown correctly.
Indicas are easier due to having a shorter flower cycle.
Remember
INDICAS grow in colder climates so the leafs are broader to capture the sun.
These plants grow shorter and better suited for indoor growing.
SATIVAS grow in warmer climates so leaves are narrower.
These plants are taller and better suited for out door growing.
We are programmed to want INDICAS because their cheaper and easier to grow.
SATIVAS grown right would be $1,000 per once! (if grown naturally).
Man in his infinite wisdom is tailoring cannabis to fit his program.
Just a thought:
Pure ingredients.
Mix by effect desired.
So far I have more control this way.
I could be completely wrong in this ideal?
This is the journey I'm on for now!
Their is a lot of merit concerning today's weed for sure. Maybe I hold on the the past a little bit? The Thai Stick of the 70's was the last of the trippy strains.@ataxian
You'd be a legend growing like you do round here. It's pretty much maximum output in shortest time cheese strains.
Apart from the sativa I had mentioned before the only other ones were imported Jamacian sensi and durban poison though most of that ranged from lightly seeded to mainly seeds. Same for the Jamacian yard weed compressed full of seeds. I guess like Mexican brickweed?
I'd really like to try some pure sativa to experience the non hybrid high. Indica flowers too smoked plenty of black and charras and had some afghani black last year and the critical mass I have doesn't have that indica hybrid hit that as mentioned by the OP can have an unpleasant initial sativa type head buzz that some find discomforting. Bubblegum is a classic of this style half hour head buzz and then the indica cuts in.
Your mixing method sounds pretty much heaven to me with those lovely pures to mix up
The 2 main hazes I get are either Super Lemon Haze or Amnesia Haze. I've also had pineapple express and some type of sour lemon diesel not sure exactly what it was. But I bet non of them are anything like those strains you grew in Hawaii from what I read they can be a delight?
I do prefer the Super Lemon Haze out of the hazey hybrids it's Skunk genes are still in there fully kicking
I do like a strain call GIRL SCOUT COOKIES (GSC).Thank you @ataxian i am trying to but there is alot more things to try. Never tried pure gold products the places that carry them here jack the price up pretty good and they still sell out fast. Lol mutts well i do like a good blend in many areas so what the heck if it works it works i just hope its something that can be repeated rather than a fluke harvest.
Sounds like you have a nice plan. Im still working through trying all my strains. I bough a whole lot of grams in different types (mostly indica, a good amount of hybrid, and a few sativas) that i need to get a feel for before is tart going mix crazy on them.
Once i figure out what my body likes i would love to grow regardless of how long it takes because then i know exactly what they were exposed to. Plus i like the things people are trying with roots and leaves which you cant get at any dispensary ive been to.
My grow box is 9 feet high now.
The COLAS are fat as hell!What about bending them over with a horizontal trellis?
I do like a strain call GIRL SCOUT COOKIES (GSC).
We have the real one.
Very nice!Mmmmmmm... GSC. I have a lovely sample of that myself!

Don't stress about it!Hmmmm still feeling frustrated trying to figure this out. I cant decide if I'm finally building a tolerance or is my solo is being wonky. When i switched to a finder mesh bowls weren't lasting as long and i didn't like the airflow. So i switched to something looser but not as big as my original DIY ones. I'm still finishing bowls faster but i don't feel any more medicated. A bowl that used to last me a week is now 2 - 3 days. Thing is i haven't changed my temp and i rarely take more than 3 hits when before i was usually 2 maybe 3 so the math isn't adding up. Last two night haven't been as good. I want getting medicated enough so i had another hit or two but it didn't help me sleep like it usually does and i felt sort of edgy.
So i guess that adds another variable. Maybe its me, maybe its the solo, o maybe Ive "outgrown" that particular strain. The last one bums me out the most because i really like the Querkle. Its mild i don't usually get any dizziness from it and Ive been sleeping better since i found it.
Meh this weeks been a bad one symptom wise. Need to level out before i decide anything. I'm sleep deprived and the insurance was playing keep away with one of my meds so I'm all out of whack. I will be back on track med wise by tomorrow night so hopefully int he next few days i will feel more myself.
Don't stress about it!
I went through the same thing.
What I found is I was buying way too much of the same strains.
Even though it's slightly more $ I buy 8th's instead of Oz's.
Yesterday I got some "SNOOP DOGGY PURPLE KUSH".
Level 4 course ground in a SOLO PHVES.
Slept like a baby and was happy.
Basically it's a KUSH STRAIN with a cool marketing name.
I usually get OG's however I like the effect of KUSH.
Mix it up.
GSC, GDP, KUSH, OG, YODA, EARTH, TAHOE, MARS, DUTCH TREAT
The BLUE DREAM taste exceptional however I think the grower is harvesting early?
Made me really paranoid. (need to grow it myself)!
I load a stem loose.
Take a few rips then stir and take a few more.
I throw away my abv.
The better the cannabis the less I need.
The BOGO deals were poorly grown and I needed way too much to get the proper medication.
Smaller qualities of TOP SHELF strains are what I'm doing lately.
I never stay with the same strain more than two weeks.
Still haven't harvested my legal medical grow.
Plus I will cure it correctly (no rush)
In the mean time it's small batches every two weeks.
Different strains.
Try a KUSH STRAIN for sleep.
Hope it all works out!
Everyone's different and there isn't an exact science to it all. As @ataxian said try a heavier indica strain before bed any Afghani dominant strain should also do the trick of its kush neighbours.
I quite like edgy strains when I'm in the mood just got some jack the ripper seriously strong
Could I suggest you see if you can lay hands on NYC Diesel? it's not a top-shelf strain in WA, running at 6 - 8 a gram - but I find excellent inner relaxing with very little head.
Not blue city diesel, or any other words/letters added. Just NYC Diesel. Check on Leafly.com.![]()
I got some SNOOP DOGGY PURPLE KUSH (pure INDICA) I love this one.I find the more pure indicas despite having thicker vape aren't as harsh as sativa dom hybrids for some reason and much less of a dry mouth. Plus they are less likely to freak you out and downside is make some people too tired in the day.
