Question Growing My Cannabis Meds

[blokefarmerguy]

Hello everyone,

I'm a 43-year-old gardener. I'm here to find cannabis strains to help with my arthritis pain. I have some experience but want to learn more.

Looking forward to your recommendations and tips!

There are many different varieties. Just gotta get some seeds and plant them. They like loamy well-draining soil. Nutrients about like tomato plants. If growing outdoor, you'll need to choose a strain that works in your environment, and you'll have to apply something to control bug damage, mildew, and mold. If indoor, you have control of the environment, so whatever you prefer indoor.

Thanks for the insights, they’re very helpful. I just got the Peach Ring strain from crop king seeds and is growing outdoors now in my warm climate. I'm worried about bugs attacking the plants. Any suggestions for bug control? or is there a natural control dealing with it?

1/2 tsp neem oil
2 drop dish soap
1 pint water

For bugs, spray liberally on upper and lower side of leaves. If you're outside, treat every 2 weeks.

Add 1/2 tsp potassium bicarbonate to treat PM/bud rot as well.

To add to what @Varinaut says above...

Only apply after sunset. If string direct light gets on leaves wet with neem, it will burn the shit out of them.

Also, I apply sprays from early veg through the start of bud formation. Then, it's fingers crossed until harvest. Don't sprayit on buds. It gives them a funky smell/taste, and you don't want to be smoking that stuff.

I wash my buds after harvest if I’m growing outside. Mix equal parts of lemon juice and baking soda in water. Follow up with dunking in pure water and hang to dry. Gets rid of tons of bugs, pollen and dirt. If you get a bit of powdery mildew. Wash with hydrogen peroxide in water. Makes the buds a bit firm, but it kills the bacteria.

And doesn’t effect the terps or potency.

Welcome, Davis! If you're dealing with arthritis pain, strains that are high in CBD and have a balanced THC/CBD ratio can be quite beneficial. Consider looking into strains like Harlequin (which has a high CBD content), ACDC, and Cannatonic. These strains are recognized for their anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving effects without causing too much of a high. If you prefer non-smoking options, topicals or edibles might be worth trying. I'm here to help if you need more suggestions!

Hey Davis! For arthritis pain, you might find strains with high CBD helpful, as they can reduce inflammation without giving you a strong high. ACDC and Harlequin are popular choices to consider. Don’t hesitate to try a few different ones to see what works best for you!
