This grow was many years ago keep in mind
GH- Super Lemon Haze was tremendous, just had a convo here with a guy I assume ran it more recent feels its not the same thinks he lost the ssh clone they hunted. Take it for what its worth. if it concerns you Bodhi Jack x Hashplant is good big yield sativa high the yield comes from the cola its very large, some larger than others bag appeal is better than his ssh crosses. and Super Lemon Smac is good alternative too.
Dinafem- I have done all of the criticals and industry plant biggest yields, kush were ok. I liked purple afghan kush at the time but I did it for color. Marshmellow OG or Gush mints would be good alternative.
I got a freebie from dinafem call critical kush that was very greasy and funky garlic onion smellig. Bad yield, bad bag appeal, very good. GMO would be good alternative
very cool. appreciate your insights and alternatives.
quick backround so you understand my purpose in growing.
- growing medical for an elderly relative with alzheimers/dementia. after a lot of research based on studies conducted by alz specialists in US, Canada, Mexico and Europe i have come up with a list of 15 (main) strains used in studies that showed positive effects for alz/dem syptoms. there are an additional 10-15 strains that were used in studies but results were not shared universally by all major studies groups so considered "honorable mention" categorized, but still on my acquire and try list.
the list of 15
OG Kush
Sour Diesel (don't have)
Purple Kush
Grandaddy Purple
Bubba Kush
Green Crack
Acapulco Gold
Strawberry Lemonade
White Russian (don't have)
Lavender (don't have)
Blackberry Kush
LSD (don't have)
The OX (don't have)
Blissful Wizard (don't have)
Godfather OG
have grown a handful of the 15 and some on the honorable mention list (availability of specific seed strains dictate) . all must be turned to extract for edibles. of the strains i have grown so far, only one of them has shown to work good for the patients daytime use. we have one strain (royal queen seeds - purple queen (purple kush knock off)) that works for the nighttime, but it has a bunch of undesirable side effects (headache, hot flashes, confused pacing) that keep us on the search for something better.
trying to find a primary and some alternates if patient grows a tolerance. want to be able to switch up and keep things working and fresh. so far only acapulco gold is the clear winner for daytime use. mood boost, appetite and energy for daytime activities. with no bad side effects. win/win/win/win.
focus for the coming grows are to find patients primary nighttime strain. relaxed, happy. hungry, sleepy.
secondary focus is to find the alternate daytime strains.
looking to run:
og kush (seedsman), bubba kush (seedsman), blackberry kush (blimburn), gdp (blimburn), godfather og (blimburn), purple kush 1 (kannabia), purple kush 2 (blimburn), critical purple kush (seedsman), cali bay dream (garden of green)
these all have the THC and terpene profiles we are looking for. hoping the breeders and seeds i have are up to the task.
was looking at the dynafem and humbolt bubba kush and og kush offerings, but the prices and/or availability make them prohibitive when we are on a purposeful strain hunt. buying expensive seeds that ultimately may not work after months of work... i'd rather the jv team get in there first and see if they're going to do the job, THEN send for the A team when we know.
anyways, appreciate your responses and tips. thanks man.
