Harlequin X

Good day to all you fine kick ass people.

By special request from Sub I will be running this new cross called Harlequin X.Now I added the X because Sub thinks it was mostly pollinated with J.T.R.,but also added that it could also have been Vortex or Querkel but the bag was labeled as JTR.
Guess were just going to have to wait and see.

Now I would also like to add that I had never heard of said Harlequin so I asked Sub for the low down on her and this is what he had to say about her and I quote

Well first pretty much every grower in the US will know harlequin we choose her based on shear CBD potency.

Harlequin is preceded by a Thai cannabis strain, a Swiss one, and a Columbian Gold marijuana strain. While Harlequin is notably low in THC content (lab testing in California showed around 7%), it is considerably high in CBD (usually showing results between 5% and 9%). Cannabidiol content this high in strains throughout dispensaries is considered somewhat rare in recent time, making this unique strain sought after for it's pain relieving qualities and noticeable cerebral effects.
Comparitively, this amazing hybrid begins her flowering cycle early. Dime-sized buds are oftentimes visible after just 2 weeks into Harlequin producing the first buds. Additionally, growers should take caution in the last week or two before they harvest this plant. The flowering tops become so heavy and buds so tri-chrome-covered that the colas will require extra support to keep from collapsing under all this added weight. An added frustration - but one that is well worth the wait - is that Harlequin usually takes between 2 and 3 weeks to finish the curing process.
Harlequin is not for those smokers who are just looking to "catch a buzz," due to the low THC content, however medicinally speaking, this strain is great for patients looking for chronic pain relief or who enjoy meditating, because of the amount of CBD present in the cannabis. Harlequin is one of those strains that, when grown properly, will come out amazing, but when grown improperly, has a tendency to be an abomination.
So that being said this will be an interesting test grow for me seen as how I am one of those peeps look n' to catch a buz but I do know a couple of folks looking for pain relief and one of those individuals in particular would be a good candidate I think.

Ok so here we go.
I recieved only 5 seeds so as not to take any chances I droped all 5 into a shot glass of tap water for 24 hours and I was blown away when I checked on them after only 12 hrs and believe it or not but I was looking at the tips of the tap roots starting to protude already after only 12 hrs.I prepped some Peat pellets right away and placed the little younglings in and 12 hours later they were already sticking theire heads out of the P pellets.Fook me these lil guys or gals are fast.So now I scrambled to get them potted and behold 24 hrs later I had lil baby's plants.All this took place in 48 hours.Never in all my years of growing have I seen seed to a plant in 48 hours and thats over 30 years.

On wid da show
I kid you not,but these are 48 hours from seed
I'll keep you poted on thier progress

I was smoking on some AfgT/Sk when a friend told me that sub made has a cut from J at resin seeds. U said that sub thinks it was mostly pollinated by jtr but may also have some Vortex or Querkle in it. And that u only got five test seeds. I understand growing out test seeds but if the pedigree of wat you're testing is one part unknown wat are u testing them for? Because if there were three totally different males that pollinated that plant...like u said there's gonna be alot of variables.

Did Sub actually smoke any of the high cbd strains or did he just pick the Harlequin bc of test results?

the harlequin I've had was really bland and i felt nothing really. the pineapple thai was much sweeter tasting and the high was very relaxing. to the point that i could see a tremendous medicinal value to the strain. imo it would be great for people in pain and/or anxiety. being that Sub selects mostly on flavor i def think he would like the strain. it's easily attainainable in norcal bay area too.

From what we discused Sub said the strain tasted really bland.So they pollinated her to see if they could add some smell and flavor.I would think that the JTR would possibly add some THC to the cut as well.

The Cut was pollinated by JTR but she was in the same room as the Vortex and Querkel so it's not know if in fact they added to the mix or not.
Only time will tell so we'll all have to wait and see what transpires from this

later

The small Mother plant was moved around quite a bit during our last cycle and she was not always separated from the same males but since we did get some nice juicy plump beans I thought we might as well do a kinda sampling we assume the giant seeds are JTR.

This is not some official test but you will see more and more odd things come to the table as I search for a new male line to work with.
I also have a line on a nice Afpac Male as well.

I think weve played out SQ and her hybrids and I am looking for new blood as it were.

Subbidy subd! I hope it wasn't JTR and it was Querkle because Erkle and most of her crosses aid my gout. No lie. I SWEAR I was just telling people last night how my perfect plant would be Erkle plus Harlequin or Cannatonic.
