Hi all. I am new to growing I have one CFL grow under my belt. Jock Horror Autos which turned out ok. I have 4 plants in flowering right now. 2 AK48, 1 Jock Horror Auto and an Ice. All are feminized seeds My reason I am growing is for my MS and back pain associated with it. I have selected these 2 strains for that purpose. The Trainwreck for pain (my back and my wife's back and headaches) and the Blue Blood for the high CBD content that will hopefully help inflammation from the MS. All seeds are feminized. I have not found much grow info on these 2 strains so I will do my best to let you know my results. Any comments or criticism is welcome. I know enough to know what I don't know and will take all the help I can get. Here we go. Here is the strain Info: Medicann Blue Blood Feminised Seeds Specs Genetics: OG Kush x Blueberry Type: Indica (70%) / Sativa (30%) Flowering time: 6 - 10 weeks Yield: Medium THC content: 15 - 20% CBD content 10% Medicinal Uses: Chronic Pain, Body relief without mental intoxication, Insomnia, Muscle Spasms, Nausea, MS, Gastrointestinal Issues, Arthritis, Anorexia Medicann Blue Blood Feminised Seeds Info With this plant we have crossed our OG Kush with an astounding Blueberry that has been with us since 1998. This plant produces buds that have the strength and density of the OG but have that wonderful smell and taste of the Blueberry. The Blueberry overtones over wash the OG so for those of you used to OG this plant will smell and taste more blueberry, however there is an element of diesel fuel to the smell and taste. Not one for an inexperienced medical grower, but well worth the effort for those who can. Blueberry x OG Kush has been bred to contain higher percentages of CBD or cannabidiol the part of cannabis now considered to be most responsible for pain-relief, nausea, as an anti-inflammatory, and for many many other symptoms. CBD has been found to provide physical relief, it actually works to counteract the psychoactivity of THC, allowing patients a much desired element of clarity unassociated with so many other types of cannabis. This strain can also be a very effective insomnia killer, especially if you have pain that keeps you awake. In short for medicinal users this would be the strain we recommend for a multitude of different ailments. Medicann are currently working on other strains to increase the CBD ratio to further help sufferers. Medicann Trainwreck Feminised Seeds Specs Genetics: Trainwreck Type: Indica (80%) / Sativa (20%) Flowering time: 8-10 weeks Yield: High THC content: 17 - 21% CBD content 3% Medicinal Usages: Stress Relief, Anger, Insomnia, Appetite stimulant, Nervous Conditions, Alzheimer's, Migraines, Headache, Vomiting, Depression, Chronic Pain Medicann Trainwreck Feminised Seeds Info Emerging from California in the late 90's this is one of the staples of any medical marijuana grower being an extremely strong pain relieving plant. A very pungent smell is emitted from Trainwreck a lemony/diesel smell that once smelled will always be remembered. We have been working with this genetic since 1998 and it has never let us down. This strain has many tales about where it originally came from, from Mexico or Humboldt? The genetics we have came from Northern California in the late 90's. The seed were purchase from Hearbies. I would highly recommend them. The shipping was fast and discrete. Even with a delay on their side, I had my seeds in 9 days to the east coast and they threw in some freebies. Thanks Herbies!!! Since I am on a limited budget, I am trying to grow in the most cost effective way possible. This is a soil grow under CFL's. I germinated 1 seed of each using the paper towel method. They both popped within 36 Hours. I put the seeds in starter cubes and have them in a propagation chamber with 1 t5 light and 2 26w 6500k bulbs. The flowering closet, which is separate from the vegging closet, has 4 100w dual spectrum CFLs and 2 26w 2700k CFLs under a homemade reflector, a 4" exhaust fan with carbon filter and a small fan to help move the air. . The soil is will be from my compost pile and using Fox Farm nutes. I will post my first pictures later today when I have time. Thanks for looking. Supergroomer
Sorry. I actually forgot about this journal. To put it all in a nut shell for you, it went like this: The first two seeds did not start well. They were very stunted and I didn't think they would make it so I started 2 more seeds. With a bit of nurturing and transplanting, the 2 stunted seeds started to take off. They were about 8 weeks from when I popped them till I switched them to 12/12 but because of their stunted beginning, they looked more like 3 or 4 weeks veg. I was lucky enough that a friend of mine who also has MS wanted to help and see how the Blue Blood did for her. She bought 2 Mars II 400 led lights (one for the veg closet and one for the flower closet.) These are full spectrum LED panels that I got from Mars-Hydro website. Within a day you could see the plants take off. Long story short, my 2 stunted plants were harvested a little over a week ago. I ended up with with about 33g dry on the Train Wreck and about 22g dry on the Blue Blood. I was happy with that considering the start these two had. The second 2 seeds I started are now almost 4 weeks into flower and had a full 8 weeks veg. I am hoping to get at least 2 oz dry out of each of these. I also have 4 clones (2 of each) in the veg closet and I am doing alot of LST training with them and hope those results will be even better!! If you want to see the pictures from the grow, look HERE.
