Welcome to my new journal! Feel free to join my organic indoor gardening journey growing some CKS Green Crack, CKS White Widow, and Jordan of the Islands "The Purp". I'm new to growing cannabis in soil, but not new to soil vegetable/flower grows. So far my experience gardening has worked against me as cannabis seems to follow a different set of rules than "normal" plants. I tried my hand at "The Purp" a couple of months ago and struggled with over-watering issues. In the end the beans I dropped ended up being males, so I'm starting over with some different seeds
Seeds
Crop King Seeds: Green Crack
I've grown these before under hydro and they turned out really well. The buds were all hairs and very little leaf matter. They were practically pre-trimmed -- an absolute dream to harvest. The smoke was really easy on the lungs and the high was a nice balance of relaxing and energizing. What I don't know is whether that was just the phenome I had, or if all the beans will be that way. Time will tell.
Description: " A Skunk No. 1 cross, this strain is good enough to be named by Snoop Dogg himself. Green Crack provides an intense body high guaranteed to have you coming back for more. Citrusy sweet with hints of lemon and spice, a little goes a long way with this smooth, spacey strain. Robust plants grow quickly and often require trellising. Expect an easy grow, strong yields, and flowers maturing in only 9-10 weeks. "
Indica/Sativa: 70% Indica / 30% Sativa
THC / CBD / CBN: 21.4% / .45% / .29%
Feminized?: Yes
Autoflower?: No
Yield Marketed: 300g/600g
Crop King Seeds: White Widow
I've also grown these seeds out before under hydro. The WW kicks like a horse and is good before bedtime, or when really wanting a couch lock high. I found the smoke on these to be a bit harsh as there was a ton of leaves mixed in the buds. I also didn't experience the snowy leaves like I've seen in pictures, so I want to give this strain another shot.
Description: "Our feminized White Widow is a former Cannabis Cup Winner that is high in THC and CBD. Known for white trichome crystals and orange hairs that develop at the end of its flowering stage. Easy to grow, a great yielder and perfect for cloning. Caution the high from White Widow is not for beginners."
Indica / Sativa: 60% Indica / 40% Sativa
THC / CBD / CBN: 24.10% / 0.7% / 3.0%
Feminized?: Yes
Autoflower?: No (This is old stock. I only see autoflower WW on their website now... not sure if the photoperiod ones were discontinued?)
Yield Marketed: 400g
Jordan of the Islands: The Purp
I've grown CKS Purple Kush in the past and had some nice purple show up. Now I'd like to see how "The Purp" from Jordan of the Islands compares. I grew two of these out last month and they ended up being males, so I'll take another attempt.
Description: "The Purp’s prized genetics are coveted the world over. Accept no substitutes, Jordan of the Islands retains the original genetics for this reliable strain. It will have amazing purple colours no matter what the temperature."
Indica / Sativa: Indica is all the website states
THC / CBD / CBN: Not specified
