When I first joined the 420magazine forum last December, I was hoping to find help with growing my own cannabis. And I certainly found that, but I also discovered that marijuana is a far more powerful medicine than I had ever imagined. And even more amazing, it is now being used to effectively treat cancer. Not just the symptoms of this disease or the side effects of it's conventional medical treatments, but a treatment of the disease itself.
This revelation was important to me personally, because in 2014 I was diagnosed with a very aggressive form of prostate cancer. The standard medical treatments are helping, but it's an uphill battle all the way. And if I can find an edge, something that will help or even be a cure, you better believe I'll be all over it! Which is what this grow is all about... a selection of stains that have been specifically chosen to create concentrates of THC and CBD that have been shown to be an effective cancer treatment. And if there is a little left for recreational use, that won't hurt my feelings, either!
Here are the growing specifics:
Grow Media: Doc Bud's high brix soil in 1 gallon Pots (veg phase) and 7 gallon pots (flower phase)
Veg Growth: 4x4 tent in dedicated grow room
Flower Growth: 3' x 6' open tray in dedicated grow room
Lighting: AdvancedLED and Mars-Hydro LED fixtures
Temps & RH: Approx. 78 degrees and 50-60% RH
Strains
Humboldt Seeds Blue Dream
Sativa dominant: Haze x Blueberry
Very Potent Medical Grade: 18% THC
Blue Dream, a sativa-dominant hybrid originating in California, has achieved legendary status among West Coast strains. Crossing a Blueberry indica with the sativa Haze, Blue Dream balances full-body relaxation with gentle cerebral invigoration. Novice and veteran consumers alike enjoy the level effects of Blue Dream, which ease you gently into a calm euphoria. Some Blue Dream phenotypes express a more indica-like look and feel, but the sativa-leaning variety remains most prevalent.
With a sweet berry aroma redolent of its Blueberry parent, Blue Dream delivers swift symptom relief without heavy sedative effects. This makes Blue Dream a popular daytime medicine for patients treating pain, depression, nausea, and other ailments requiring a high THC strain.
CBD Critical Cure
Indica Dominant: Critical Kush x CBD Enhanced
Low THC: 5%
High CBD: 8%
By offering new strains with significantly higher percentages of CBD than currently available in the world market, Barney's Farm and CBD Crew are working together creating new strains of cannabis that we hope will gain further acceptance of cannabis in the medical community. Our mission. Increasing levels of CBD, in our best varieties to enhance pain relieving properties.
By crossing Critical Kush with the pure CBD mother plant, Barney's Farm and CBD Crew have created Critical Cure. This new variety has exceptionally high CBD levels with an intense and earthy profile, and an added hint of sweetness. Critical Cure, is a strain exceptionally appropriate for healing purposes. The medical implications are obvious for those that want pain relief with moderated effects.
These superb benefits come in a strain that rewards with fast, generous results. So significant is the payoff that extra support is recommended for the plant as it matures, and thick, heavy colas appear.
The feeling is more relaxing without "couch-lock" impact.
Critical Cure is a unique strain that represents the latest advancements in genetics, natural medicine and personal freedoms for those who understand the positive potential of cannabis.
T.H. Seeds Darkstar
Mostly Indica: Purple Kush x Mazar-I-Sharif
This mega Indica not only grows ridiculously dense buds, but the potency is out of this world. Darkstar is a great plant for those seeking pain relief, appetite enhancement and other worldly activities. Darkstar is a dream to grow with its high calyx to leave ratio, making it a breeze to manicure.
The Dark Star plant is classic Afghan in structure, growing thick, strong branches at a slow pace, which requires a little patience in vegetative phase and may cause some early anxiety for beginners who expect a more typical indica timetable. This plant is slower than many of its brethren and works best as indoor plant, where it will take 9-10 weeks to reach full ripened bloom. Once flowering, this plant forms a large main cola that is encircled by a crown or budlets. Dark Star flowers, like their cosmic namesake, are super dense and compact. The leaves are wide and so dark that the deep greens take on a blue tinge. When ready to harvest, Dark Star's color changes quickly, with the spiky bud hairs turning pink-red. This plant's clones set slowly, but mature plants are easy to manicure.
The Dark Star high is stupefying and narcotic, with spacey, otherworldly qualities. While its aroma is not overpowering, it is interesting with mellow, almost nutty flavors. The onset is fast, and the high will last through a concert or make for a great afternoon. This is not a functional buzz for accomplishing tasks, especially if they involve reading or counting. Dark Star will likely add another dimension to aesthitic or sensory experiences, and acts as an appetite enhances or pain reliever for medical users.
The plan after harvest will be to prepare two different medicinal concentrated oils; one for daytime using the sativa dominant and high CBD strains, and another for night time using the indica dominant and high CBD strains. But that's putting the cart before the horse at this point. Time to get to the grow!

Not making that mistake alone made the first grow worth it's weight in gold!
