Welcome everyone to my first attempt at building my own strain. I wish I had the room to run 100 of these seeds, but we will have to make do with ~20 for the first run... I have plenty more, so if nothing good comes from these we can always have another grow. This batch here will be my last flower run before Summer hits, and Ive learned my lesson...no Summer flowering!
The Seeds: Harlequin male (ELEV8 Seeds) crossed with Kosher Kush female (Reserva Privada)
Harlequin is a 75/25 sativa-dominant strain renowned for its reliable expression of CBD. A descendant of Colombian Gold, a Nepali indica, and Thai and Swiss landrace strains, you can depend on Harlequin to provide clear-headed, alert sativa effects. Unlike most high-CBD strains, Harlequin almost always develops a CBD:THC ratio of 5:2, making this strain one of the most effective out there for treatment of pain and anxiety, as CBD can counteract THC's paranoia while amplifying its painkilling properties. Flavors can range from earthy musk to sweet mango, but without a doubt, what draws crowds to Harlequin is its ability to relax without sedation and to relieve without intoxication.
Kosher Kush, offered now in seed form from DNA Genetics, originated in Los Angeles as a clone-only strain. Winner of High Times Cannabis Cup's Best Indica in 2010 and 2011, as well as Best Strain in 2011, Kosher Kush produces staggering levels of THC, with some samples testing over 29%. Known as one of the most odiferous OG Kush-related strains, it has a unique yet familiar smell reminiscent of rich earth and fruit, and is considered by many to be one of the tastiest smokes around. The high experienced is typical of many heavy indica strains, producing pronounced relaxation and pain relief, with sleep often following close behind.
These seeds arent as striped as my batch of Harlequin, but they are some of the largest seeds Ive seen... The goal here is to come up ith a plant that has roughly a 1:1-1:2 THC:CBD ratio while maintaining the amazing smell and taste of the Kosher Kush. Im hoping my testing options will have improved by the time I have something worth testing.
The first batch went into a pyrex dish Sunday morning with paper towels soaked in one capful of Clonex diluted in 150ml of tap water left out for 24 hours before using. I tucked them up above my veg shelf and checked on them when I came home from work today.
I pulled out the 12 most vigorous and stuck them in seedling trays in mostly coco...I have also mixed in some water crystals..ie diaper filling
I have been having great luck with the added water retention during the dry winter months. Alows me to be lazy...which is good...because I am...
Light for the moment is from my old Mars 300. Plans for a new light are in the works, but my male:female ratios with reg seeds have been awesome under this light. Maybe Im seeing things that arent there, maybe the red light helps...who knows. Im gonna roll with it until it doesnt work any more.
Ferts will be diluted clonex for the first couple weeks and then we'll see...Ive never been one to stick with any one brand...I sort of mix and match as I go. For this grow I may be more selective, but we will see...to early to tell
Thanks for subbing up...I will do my best to keep this as updated as possible...good or bad. Advice/criticism is always appreciated, though not always acted upon...this is My peanut! With any luck, I can make something interesting.

Im not back to 100%..and wont be for a while it seems, but the girls are doing fine. These are all 12-13 days above ground. Still uniform in appearance except fo the curley deformed few...and there's one that just looks sad. I moved everyone around so the bigger ones werent covering the wee ones, and gave the sad one a few more drainage holes...not that I think it will help, but cant hurt.
I wish you good luck and I´m pretty very interested what you end up with.
