Double the Cannabidiol, Double the Therapy

 

Bud Basics

A beautifully balanced cross between the sweet and citrusy Kandy Kush and an unknown, but CBD-rich strain, CBD Kush herself has a sweet-sour, fruity earthen aroma that’s both delicious and potent as therapeutic relief.

 

With equal parts THC and CBD, though she has no real psychoactive effect, this strain can nevertheless provide you with a calming buzz that’s enjoyable as well as pain-relieving.

 

CBD Kush x CBD Kush has twice as much cannabidiol (CBD) capacity as her singular parent strain, effectively doubling everything so that her CBD checks in at 16% with a low THC level of 0.2% to 1% at most. This makes her an excellent strain for uplifting the mood and bringing on a warming, profound relaxation - without any real noticeable cerebral buzz.

 

Indica-leaning, the medicinal marijuana (MMJ) community are the real target audience here - capable of reducing the symptoms of anxiety and a disordered mind, CBD Kush x CBD Kush Fem really shines as a pain-relieving strain, suitable for both chronic and acute afflictions as well as for relieving lack of appetite and insomnia.

 

Mid-level growing experience is required with this plant, as though she’s not hard to maintain, she does require some trimming and environmental control to thrive. Feminized seeds do half the job for you, but CBD Kush x CBD Kush still requires a little work to get that all-important yield - which weighs in at around 450 to 500 grams per square meter.

Flavor and Fragrance of CBD Kush x CBD Kush Feminized

Though she’s principally a medicinal marijuana strain, medicating doesn’t have to be miserable - CBD Kush x CBD Kush Fem is pungent and delicious as well as effective.

 

Generally sweet to taste, there’s a sour, slightly fruity note that’s tropical and citrus-y that makes this strain an absolute joy to consume. This is further developed with some faint, but still noticeable, floral and earthy notes that add depth and complexity to the flavor profile as you exhale this smooth smoke.

Effects

More medicinal than recreational, CBD Kush x CBD Kush Feminized can still be consumed for her non-therapeutic effects. With almost no psychoactive effects present in this plant, she’s still capable of clearing a cluttered mind and bringing forth calm.

 

A great strain for soothing the mind of worries and bringing focus to day-to-day tasks, CBD Kush x CBD Kush ushers in positivity and productivity, and can be put to great use when you need to complete tasks that require a deal of attention and concentration - effectively, a brilliant study-aid.

 

Due to this strain’s calming effects, a hit of this will also aid in relaxation. It’s not the kind of cannabis that induces couchlock, so you’ll still have the energy to carry out day to day activities (provided they’re not too strenuous), but most importantly this bud will induce sleep. Long, uninterrupted, restful sleep.

Medical Uses of CBD Kush x CBD Kush Feminized

CBD Kush x CBD Kush Fem is just as CBD heavy as you’d expect, given her name - and as such she offers relief and comfort to patients suffering from a wide range of different health conditions.

 

Since this strain has anxiolytic properties, a hit of these buds will mitigate anxiousness, stress and hyperactive tendencies with ease, and can be put to great use by those with anxiety, depression, PTSD and panic disorders. Due to the focusing properties of this CBD hybrid, she’s also effective at honing in the scattered thoughts of those with attention deficit disorders, such as ADD and ADHD.

 

If you’re impressed with the psychological benefits of this strain, then the physical therapeutic properties will blow that out of the water, as CBD Kush x CBD Kush really shines as an analgesic and anti-inflammatory marijuana. This therapeutic strain can provide relief from the chronic and acute pains of migraines, arthritis, multiple sclerosis, muscle spasms, fibromyalgia, PMS, spinal cord injuries and more.

 

As a potent appetite stimulant, those suffering from lack of appetite - or with eating disorders such as anorexia nervosa and bulimia - can find this strain to be of great benefit. A few tokes of CBD Kush x CBD Kush Feminized can even fight back nausea, vomiting and food aversion due to HIV.

 

Due to the peaceful, calming effects of this strain, she can also be a great choice for those suffering with insomnia, guaranteeing a night of good, restful sleep.

Growing CBD Kush x CBD Kush Feminized Seeds

Since she’s Indica-leaning, CBD Kush x CBD Kush Feminized is sturdy and compact in structure, with broad fan leaves and short internodal gaps. Unnecessary leaves and branches will need to be pruned, paying particular attention to the lower area, as this increases airflow and light penetration.

 

Lighting is key with this strain during the flowering phase, and we’d recommend a 600-watt HPS/LED grow lamp to ensure the plant receives all the light it needs to get those bright, foxtail-shaped buds nice and dense.

 

With a short to medium frame, this plant is a space-saver and doesn’t take up too much room. She’s fairly easy to maintain throughout her growth cycle, just keep her temperature between 72° and 80°F in a semi-humid environment in addition to trimming her foliage, and she’ll thrive.

 

Hydroponics will work well with CBD Kush x CBD Kush, but organic soil will work better for more fragrance and flavor, and a better terpene profile.

 

If you can manage to keep her setting controlled, after 7 to 9 weeks of flowering you should find yourself with a harvest of between 450 and 500 grams per square meter - provided you employ a Sea of Green (SoG) setup with a minimum of 4 plants. Do remember though, as a pungent smoke, she’s also a pungent grow - investing in decent odor control measures such as carbon air filters is highly recommended if you’re trying to grow discreetly.

 

Growing CBD Kush x CBD Kush Fem outdoors, you can expect to harvest around early October, with a yield of up to 800 grams per plant - but keep in mind these beauties require a Mediterranean climate, good weather conditions and shelter from potential adversities.
