As for Charlotte’s Web and the Stanley Brothers, there are
plenty of other high-CBD strains available in the marketplace in
seed form besides this “proprietary” variety. Anything from the
groundbreaking CBD Crew in Spain (cbdcrew.org) and CB Die-
sel from MTG Seeds (mtgseeds.com) spring to mind immedi-
ately. CBD God (bcbuddepot.com) Cannatonic, Harlequin, Sour
Tsunami and R4 are some others. Dinafem Seeds (dinafem.org)
sells an entire line of CBD-rich varieties, and more and more
seed companies are now offering them as well. Plenty of options
exist, so you don’t have to rely on any one source in particular.
Good luck and healing thoughts to you and your dad!SUBJECT: Early Flowers
FROM: Wayne C.
vI met you and bought your book at the Harvest Cup in Worcester,
MA. I might have a problem. My plants are about two months old
and around 2 feet high (AK-47, White Widow and Bubblegum), and
I’m about to move them outside—I’m just waiting for night temps
to rise a bit. Here’s the problem as I see it: Most of my 12 plants have
numerous buds that are already looking ready. They’ve been under
grow lights for 16 hours a day, so I think they’re getting enough
light. Do I have anything to worry about? If so, can I fix it? Thanks.Dear Wayne,
It sounds to me like you have one of two possible problems.
Either your plants aren’t getting enough light, or your plants
are grown from auto-flowering seeds. Sixteen hours of light
isn’t really enough, and after two months, your plants should
be taller than 2 feet, so I suspect that they need more light.
Next time, give them 18 to 20 hours of light and make sure your
lights are close enough to the plants as well. If you’ve ruled out
auto-flowers, then the amount of light and the proximity to it
are why your plants are flowering prematurely.SUBJECT: Soil for Seedlings
FROM: Infcar
vWhen growing seedlings, what would be the best soil to use?
Should it be a seedling starter soil, or would a soil like FoxFarm’s
Happy Frog suffice? Where I’m located, we do not have access to
many different organic soils to choose from. I don’t want to use a
soil that could burn or harm the sensitive seedlings. I plan on going
the living-soil route, using living soil from seedling to adulthood.
I won’t use any chemical fertilizers and everything will be 100
percent organic, and I’ll feed the soil with compost teas and other
organic materials.Dear Infcar,
The soil or soilless mix you use for seedlings should be light,
airy and not too “hot,” meaning mild in nutrient content. It’s
easiest to purchase a bag or bale of Pro-Mix or a similar peat-
based medium and add your own dry organic nutrients such as
greensand and bat and seabird guano, as well as more perlite
to keep it loose and quick to dry out.
If you’re using FoxFarm’s Happy Frog potting soil, I wouldDanko Tip: Harvest plants at the end of their dark cycle,
