What Is CBD?

 

CBD, or cannabidiol, is a naturally occurring compound found in cannabis plants. It belongs to a class of compounds known as cannabinoids. CBD is derived primarily from hemp plants, which are a variety of cannabis plants with low levels of THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), the psychoactive compound that produces the "high" commonly associated with marijuana.

CBD has gained significant attention in recent years due to its potential therapeutic properties and its non-intoxicating nature. It is commonly used in various forms, including oils, tinctures, capsules, creams, and edibles. CBD interacts with the body's endocannabinoid system (ECS), a complex network of receptors and neurotransmitters involved in regulating various physiological functions such as pain, mood, appetite, and sleep.

Research suggests that CBD may have several potential benefits. It is commonly used for:

  1. Pain management: CBD may help alleviate chronic pain by reducing inflammation and interacting with neurotransmitters involved in pain perception.

  2. Anxiety and depression: CBD has shown promise in reducing symptoms of anxiety and depression, although further research is needed to understand its full effects.

  3. Neuroprotective properties: Some studies suggest that CBD may have neuroprotective properties and could be beneficial in conditions such as epilepsy and multiple sclerosis.

  4. Sleep disorders: CBD may help improve sleep quality and address conditions like insomnia.

  5. Anti-inflammatory effects: CBD has demonstrated anti-inflammatory properties and may be beneficial in conditions associated with inflammation, such as arthritis.

It's important to note that while CBD is generally considered safe, it can interact with certain medications. It's advisable to consult with a healthcare professional before incorporating CBD into your routine, especially if you have any underlying health conditions or are taking medications. Additionally, regulations surrounding CBD products vary by country, so it's essential to be aware of the legal status of CBD in your location.

Can CBD Help dogs?

CBD (cannabidiol) can potentially help dogs with various conditions. CBD is a non-intoxicating compound derived from the cannabis plant. It interacts with the endocannabinoid system, which is present in both humans and animals, including dogs.

CBD has been reported to have several potential benefits for dogs, including:

  1. Pain relief: CBD may help alleviate pain associated with conditions such as arthritis, injuries, and post-surgical discomfort in dogs.

  2. Anxiety and stress reduction: CBD may have a calming effect on dogs and help reduce anxiety-related behaviors, such as separation anxiety, noise phobias, and generalized anxiety.

  3. Seizure management: Some studies suggest that CBD may help reduce the frequency and severity of seizures in dogs with epilepsy.

  4. Anti-inflammatory properties: CBD has been reported to have anti-inflammatory effects, which could potentially benefit dogs with inflammatory conditions such as allergies, inflammatory bowel disease, and autoimmune disorders.

  5. Appetite stimulation and nausea relief: CBD may help stimulate appetite in dogs that have a decreased appetite due to illness or medication, and it may also help alleviate nausea and vomiting.

It's important to note that while CBD shows promise in these areas, more research is needed to fully understand its effectiveness, proper dosages, and potential side effects for dogs. Additionally, it's crucial to use CBD products specifically formulated for pets, as human CBD products may contain ingredients that are toxic to dogs.

Before giving CBD to your dog, it's recommended to consult with a veterinarian who is knowledgeable about cannabis products for pets. They can provide guidance on appropriate dosages and help determine if CBD is a suitable option for your dog's specific needs.

An excellent choice for the beginner grower, grows well in doors. You can purchase the Bubbelicous Seeds Here.






Bubbelicious (Bubble Gum), also known as Bubble Gum is a medium tall, usually not too branchy (sometimes stretchy) plant, producing compact, crystal covered buds. Originally the Bubble Gum was developed by growers in Indiana, USA. From there the genetics moved to New England and eventually Holland. lt took many generations to finally produce this stable Bubble Gum, with the characteristic, sweet smell (truly resembling a typical bubble gum taste) and euphoric high; the original trademarks of this famous strain. The only inbred strain (no F1 hybrid) in the Serious menu. Winner of two awards in the High Times Cannabis Cup of 1994, a 2nd place in 1995 and again a 2nd prize in 1999, giving Bubble Gum a total of 4 awards from the judges.

Harvesting - Growing Weed

Once your grow is complete you are going to want to harvest your crop right? Hell yeah you are. Start by cutting the stem at the bottom and then cut of the branches that have the buds on. Now what you are going to need to do is trim around buds to remove the leaf growth that has happened during the grow. Be carefull doing this as you do not want to cut bits of the bud off.

Once you have trimmed the leaves off your buds you are then going to need to store the buds, preferably hanging them on a bit of string at room tempreature for the buds to dry out and cure.

Well that sort of sums it up, have phun smoking.

Nutirients - Growing Weed For Beginners

Once your plant's are under going 12 hours of light and 12 hours of darkness (flowering stage) your going to need to start adding nutrients to your water in order to feed your plant's as the soil they have been in will have no remaining nutrients left as the plants will have used them up.

The nutrients i would advise if this is your first grow is BioBizz - Bloom + BioBizz - Grow. You should choose these nutrients as they are a little more forgiving than other nutrients out there such as canna. Your going to buy the grow and bloom variations of the biobizz nutrients because they seem to lack Nitrogen but by using both grow and bloom we defeat that object.

To start with give your plants 2ml of grow and 2ml of bloom per 1 liter of water and from then on watering your plants with the added nutrients every 2-3 days. as your plants grow and start relying on the nutrients your going to want to up the amount of nutrietns added to each liter water by 1 maybe 2ml accordingly.

Sexing Cannabis - Growing Weed For Beginners




Above is a picture of 2 plants, the left is male as stated in the picture and the right is the female. Notice the ball shaped sacks on the male plant, these are called pollen sacks. If these pollen sacks were to open up around your female plants the females would be pollenated and you would end up with some very seedy bud. If you do not want seeds in your bud it is advised that you remove of and kill the male plants as soon as sex starts showing which is usually after about 2 weeks into the flowering stage.

Watering - Growing Weed For Beginners

Watering your plants is a vital stage throughout your grow. Over watering can damage your plants more than a severe dry spell can. When watering your plants your going to need to use either mineral water that can be bought in any super market or boiled tap water to remove any chlorine traces as chlorine can damage your plants root system. When you are giving your plants water you should give them enough so that you see a few drips come out of the drainage holes at the bottom of your pots. Your going to follow this process every 2-3 days.

A good way to check if your plants need watering or not is to put your finger about an inch down in the soil to check whether it is still moist, if it is still moist then they do not need watering.

Timing Of Lights - Growing Weed For Beginners

Throughout your grow you are going to need a basic mechanical plug socket timer to force your plants into the different stages of growth. It is best to start with 18 hours of light and 6 hours darkness through the vegetative stage of your grow.

Depending how long you leave your plants in the vegetative stage which is entirely upto you (the longer the bigger the yield) your going to need to move onto the flowering stage which requires the red spectrum light i mentioned in an earlier post and 12 hours of light and 12 hours of darkness.

Lighting - Growing Weed For Beginners

The main piece of equipment you need when growing weed if your growing indoors in some lights. What i found most cost effective were envirolites, they are fair priced and do not use alot of electricity like other lights do such as HPS and MH.

Your going to need to two lights throughout your grow, 125w blue spectrum envirolite for the vegetative stage and a 200w red spectrum envirolite for the flowering stage.

Potting Your Seedlings - Growing Weed For Beginners

Now you have your seeds that are showing their tap roots your going to need to pot them. First off you need to get yourself a decent soil mix, what i have found best to use is J Arthur Bowers multi purpose compost with perlite using a 70% soil and 30% perlite ratio.

Now you have your soil mix ready it's time to plant those seedlings. What you need to do is take a pencil and make little hole in the middle of your soil about 1cm deep and place the seed in with the taproot pointing downwards into the soil.

Now your seeds are potted and placed under your lights they should start sprouting after 24-48 hours if you placed the seeds 1cm deep like i mentioned earlier in this post.

Germination Of Seeds - Growing Weed For Beginners

The first step in growing weed for beginners is to germinate your seeds. The best method of germinating seeds i have found is to wet some tissue paper (not soaking it) place the seeds onto the wet tissue paper and fold it over so that the seeds are surrounded in tissue paper, dampen the tissue paper a little if need be and then place into a plastic bag and seal so that no moisture can escape.

Within about 2-3 day's the seeds should all be showing a little white sprout that the bottom of the seed called the tap root, once the tap root is showing you are now ready to plant your seeds in to pots

The Law U.S.A - Growing Weed For Beginners

Under federal law, it is illegal to possess, use, buy, sell, or cultivate marijuana anywhere in the United States. The Controlled Substances Act of 1970 classifies marijuana as a Schedule I drug, meaning it has a high potential for abuse and no accepted medical use. Under the Supremacy Clause of the Constitution, Federal law in the United States preempts conflicting state and local laws. Nevertheless, some states and local governments have established laws attempting to decriminalize cannabis, which has reduced the number of "simple possession" offenders sent to jail, since federal enforcement agents rarely target individuals directly for such relatively minor offenses. Other state and local governments ask law enforcement agencies to limit enforcement of drug laws with respect to cannabis. In the 2006 election, amendment 44 of Colorado making it legal to possess less than 1 ounce of marijuana, failed and the election was 40-60, yet it is still a misdemeanor to possess up to one half pound, and is punished mainly by fines unless sale is established.

The National Center for Natural Products Research in Oxford, Mississippi is the only facility in the United States that is federally licensed by the National Institute on Drug Abuse to cultivate cannabis for scientific research. The Center is part of the School of Pharmacy at the University of Mississippi.
