Fuck. My favorite dispensary had something in that I never saw before. It was a cross between Blue Dream and Maui Wowie.............two strains that by themselves, I iike a LOT. They sold out in 3 days.
Damn......
I love BLUE DREAM!
MAUI WOWIE as well!
The 2 combined?
Call it:
Maui Dream!

Actually, they called it Blue Maui.

First time I've ever seen this hybrid. Apparently, it was the same for others and it sold out QUICK. It came up on their menu on their site, I called...........their response....................GONE.

I would imagine it was Blue Dream with a kick.

De-carbed or raw on that pizza?

But when dispensaries use cute hybrid names, it makes it very hard to identify the underlying strains. The concept of a sour diesel crossed with a mellow Indica makes sense. But I've seen Sour Kush, Purple Diesel, Purple D., and several others, all basically the same, but not identical. Leafly is inconsistent as to which hybrids are listed as distinct strains. There should be a way to label one-off experiments as distinct from ones that have stood the test of a few generations, no?

And BTW, with the diesels being decidedly energizing, these Sour Diesel Indica hybrids can be better for pain where there's opportunity or desire for a more laid back time, but not indicouchlock or sleepy. A smidge foggier, but so ... optimistic!

Blending flowers of different strains seems unfortunately unpredictable. What works by genetic crossing, like that Purple Diesel idea, does not seem to work reliably "after the fact" the way tobacco is blended for flavor. Too much interaction and agonist-antagonist pharmacology. You never know how they will balance out.

Has anyone gotten useful results blending buds?


Shouldn't everyone try to discover their optimal fundamental strains before even considering growing? That's the OP subject, and t'is a noble quest! Thank Heaven for MMJ dispensaries. Took me a couple dozen gram buys to get oriented and narrow it down.

Great if you can carry your "primary colors" to apply as needed. For some (of course we're describing hypotheticals) a nice Portable Medical Cannabis Kit in a pocket eGo case might include, say, Original Diesel for up, Purple Kush for down-down, and Master Kush for mellow level. If you have no need on the go for deepest sedation, Red Congolese as up-up makes a nice #3 in that rescue kit instead of a heavy Indica ;-)

But of course YMMV. I have a friend who has elevated thyroid. His whole spectrum is shifted, so that for him all Sativas are useless and too up, he feels a Master Kush as nicely up, and a strong sedating Indica as center mellow-level.

Reminds me of (very) deep divers doing maintenance on military stuff or on the North Sea oil rigs. I don't know the latest advances but they used to carry racks of syringes with anticonvulsants, stimulants, sedatives etc on their belts. That's in addition to complex gas mixtures. There was a light that reminded them to breathe, as the CO2-driven breathing reflex starts getting suppressed deeper than 1000 ft. Dangerous but well-paid work.

The Kangertech mPT3 and mAT are shown here for size reference. The little Boveda keeps things at an ideal 62% relative humidity even if containers are not 100% airtight. The lovely little clear jars ($10 for a dozen) come from www.lotioncrafter.com/square-bottom_pots.html

Check out their amazing variety of vaping-applicable stuff, including equipment and thinners. Like USP PG at $12 for a quart.

At the moment I use blue crush and sour D for anxiety and depression. For pain, I love my indicas, but use hybrids sometimes (GSC, Animal cookies). My indicas right now are GDP and Tahoe OG

I LOVE Tahoe OG. One of my favs.

Most strains vaped are creepers, but Tahoe OG smacks me in the head with a two by four...........like immediately.

@lwien totally agree with you haha. A bowl of Tahoe in a pipe is nice and chill, but vaped? It's on a whole new level. Once, I vaped a trench from the mflb hen went outside for a cig, but couldn't light it. Turns out I was holding a box cutter instead of a lighter haha. :doh:

Someone asked about a strain for crohns or general GI distress. I'd love to hear from the experts on this. I'm currently using Jack Herer and Deadhead OG. Not sure the make up of the deadhead but it has a more indica feel to me. But I am most definitely a n00b when it comes to this stuff.

Yes i have had great results from mixing certain strains...

If i want to chill at my place or lay on the couch/bed my favorite blend is grand daddy purp mixed with blackberry.
But lets say i am out with some friends frolfing, then i would bring a mix of durban poison and jack herer.

In Australia (let alone my shitty hometown) we don't really get strains, but what I have come across is some nice Northern Lights, Trainwreck, White Widow and some other shit...
Trainwreck gives me a cerebral buzz that satisfies my stress and physical pain :)

Very nice strains to have actually!
Lately GSC seems to work morning noon or night?
Flavor & Effect!
We are all different.
White Widow is another good one!
SNOOP DOGGY PURPLE KUSH so amazing however hard to find?

I hope snoop dogg's weed is better than his vaporizer ;)
and yes I do find White Widow to be my favorite but supply is very limited and it sometimes disappears for months at a time before local dealers or friends can source it.

Vaporizer pens are batteries with attachments.
Marketing is the only difference!
Snoopy Doggies Purple KUSH is kind of like Mendocino Purple (MARKETING)

I suffer from a rare condition so pain and the like is a nuisance in everyday activities. I've been vaping Blu Tsu ( blue dream/sour tsunami), and it's been effective. A good hybrid CBD strain will heal you up and still give you a good high. I've found that vaping CBD before I sleep really helps insomnia and night terrors

- Strawberry Diesel
- Cinderella '99
- Blueberry '93 (for when I want something to knock me down a little ... great Indica effects)
- Got some "Dairy Queen" recently and "Fruit Spirit" that are both excellent
- Jean Guy is always nice ...
- (I'm sure I could name another 10 or so that I really like if I thought about it long enough)
- ... miss my G-Special the most ... that was a phenomenal custom strain by some biology students I used to know ... this is a strain I kept on hand permanently as my primary for >5 years (was so good I didn't find I needed variety much ... it smelled and tasted like the best organic grape juice you've ever had :))

I'm a Newbie to all this talk of different strains working better for different health conditions.....
As of today the state I live in Illinois, does have Medical Marijuana which became effective January 1st. But typical of State Gov't there will be no growers or dispensaries(the program is a four year trial program then a decision will be made and we are going to lose a year and a half up and running until next year...sometime???

I have found that as long as I can procure "Herb" it does assist me with the pain I experience from Rheumatoid Arthritis. So as for all the different strains out there is it "mind over matter" or do some really work better than others???
