Hello. I am considering moving to Colombia, but have not been there yet. (Long story.)
A friend lives in Pasto. His mom has metastasized cancer (lung, liver, etc.). She had a successful surgery, but she still has nodules, and is in a lot of pain. She is presently on opiates (morphine). I am not a doctor, but I read somewhere that a THC:CBD ratio of 1:1 or 1:2 can work well for healing. However, if she is in a lot of pain, I wonder if a strain much higher in CBD (the non-psychoactive, pain-killer part) might help her better.
I suggested that he try and find some high-CBD-content medical cannabis. He liked the idea, but it is all new to him. It sounds like he may have bought something recreational off of the street (probably high-THC, and no-or-low-CBD). It did not help his mom with her pain, so she is still on the morphine.
I don't know how it is in Colombia. Is there some safe way he can find high-CBD-content cannabis for his mom in the Pasto area? Thanks very much.

To be truthful I dont know if there is high CBD at all in Colombia. The stuff off the street will be high THC. Best bet would be import seeds specifically for the affects you want. Crop King seeds in Canada and Seedman in England both have 50/50, or all CBD strains and will ship world wide. The bad part is it would be months before he would have a harvest ready. There may be high CBD in Colombia but I have never heard of it. There is a website in Colombia that has listings for seeds. I will see if I can find it and if it might have CBD seeds.

Scumbuster, thank you. I read an article online about someone growing CBD in Bogotá, but I can't find the article now. Even if my friend could obtain CBD oil to add to the THC cannabis, that could be a big help.

I agree 100% with scumbuster. Even if someone is selling certain seeds, how do I know this is true? I buy my seeds from Cropking because I have always had real good germinating of all seeds. I did buy from Herbies but frankly, did not have such luck. Once you get a hold of the seeds you want and you are sure of the strain, then let one plant go with just water with no nutrients for two weeks after full bloom. This will force the plant to self pollinate. It works real good. You can also do the same results with colloidal silver but the process is a bit harder and must make sure that the branches that receive the colloidal silver will not be used at all. Just the seeds.

Scumbuster, Papitohead, do you know if it is illegal to bring in CBD oil from the US? Thanks.

If your going to have an issue it would probably be in the states as its legal here. But that's not a legal opinion. Might put it in a plain bottle so not to draw attention to it.

Not so sure about that. 20:1 CBD:THC ratio is what I usually see recommended if you're mainly interested in the CBD effects. 8% THC is strong. You will get very high with that. You can buy in online here in Canada: cheebas.ca/cbd

Caliconnection, thank you. I guess what I need to ask for are CBD seeds (and leaf) in Colombia. Are such things possible?

That I'm not sure of. Find somewhere in Canada or the US that will ship to Colombia? Anyone see the irony here?

Keep in mind that CBD from hemp is not the same as CBD from the real cannabis. It is a completely different strain of cannabis. The CBD from hemp is much weaker than the Sativa-Indica we all know and love.

BG.. I don’t have any reason to doubt the article. I’m just not sure you can find a reliable cost-effective means of delivery from the US to Pasto. If your going to visit any time you should probably take a number of them in a checked bag.

Papitohead, I like your suggestion for CBD Auto Cheese. It seems like the quickest way to get started. Only, I have never grown autos. Do you know, are the ruderalis crosses hardy? Meaning, will they grow outdoors in Pasto? Or do they probably need a greenhouse (or to be grown indoors)? Thanks.

Meaning, will they grow outdoors in Pasto? Or do they probably need a greenhouse (or to be grown indoors)? Thanks. All these plants grow good outdoors. the problem is you have to keep then out of sight. Ruderalis are very small plants. Not much of a yield when harvest, thus, hardly anybody grows them. Female autos are probably the easiest to grow. Just keep feeding them according to the nutrients schedule by the manufacturer. You can give them 24 hours of light of 18/6 for veggie then 12/12 for blooming, but light is not much of a problem for fem autos. I have mine on 20/4 from seeds to harvest. Keep temp at around 75 F and humidity around 50. Here is a photo of the three different plants:

While the better you take care of the plant and the more light you give it. Temperature and humidity exc. the better.
I think even if planted and just add little fertilizer occasionally you would grow a decent plant. It just may not be optimized. Your yield may be lower than if you pamper it and meet all its needs.
There are places where marijuana just grows wild with no outside inputs. So I think plant some seeds. Give it as much attention as you can reasonably do and you will produce flowers. Maybe just not as much as if you pamper it daily.
If I am not mistaken I think I read that ruderalis is the hardiest and most forgiving plant to grow but has a very small yield. It grows fast as an adaption to a very short growing season.

It grows fast as an adaption to a very short growing season. Scumbuster, thanks! I like to pamper my plants. I last used a highly modified version of TGA Subcool's Mix in fabric pots (with lots and lots of worm castings). I can probably bring the cloth pots, a tent, and some lights in my pallets, but I am not sure it is worth it to send nutrients and rock dust, etc., to Colombia. I am not sure what I will find for organic in Colombia, but I read that the volcanic soils are pretty good to start with. So we will see. I have never tried any of the original Ruderalis from Siberia, but I understand they are not very potent. However, they started cross-breeding them maybe ten years ago, and you can get some real potent plants now. They grow short and quick. If you scroll down one screen you can check out the short video about CBD Auto Cheese (which Papitohead suggested). Even if the woman announcer is short, that is still not a bad yield for 75 days! www.dinafem.org/en/cheese-autoflowering-cbd/Since Pasto is cold I could maybe put up a grow-tent inside, and start with some CBD Auto Cheese, just to get some quick medicine. And maybe once I have that in place I can veg some regular feminized plants at the same time. I really don't need much medicine, but I do need some... I hope they will understand that!

Looks like you are thinking in the right direction. If you have a small room in your place that you do not need that much, by all means, make it a grow room. In one of those tents you can only have two or three plants growing at the time if they are about 2-3 weeks apart so they will fit. What I did was put a wall at the end of my work shop about 4 feet wide and 14 feet long. I am growing 18 plants there that will be harvested in less than 3 weeks. Is hot here so I got an air conditioner going 20 hours a day when the lights are on. I also have 18 new small plants in between the big ones. That way when I harvest, I will have 18 new ones with a month to 5 weeks old. Then I will start 18 more to keep the cycle going. When I move to Colombia to stay (I come and go), I will only use homemade nutrients. Will have my own worms fabricating the castings constantly. This is easy because you just feed them table scraps with non oils. This is easy because you can have them inside your house with no problem at all. I saw a recipe of how to make organic fertilizer and will post it here today or tomorrow.
I agree 100% with the Scumbuster about the ruderalis. Not much of a yield. When I build my new house in Colombia, one room will be a grow room laboratory combination to make oils and tinctures.
It may sound that I have way too many plants growing and may (as scumbuster mentioned) as if I am opening a dispensary, but to make Rick Simpson oil you need a lot of weed and I do need this oil.

Papitohead, great suggestions! I had not considered homemade worm castings and fertilizers, but it sounds like a smart way to go.

Papitohead, I probably go through maybe 1-2 plants a year, so yes, 18 plants does sound like a lot. But it is not like it is my business. The way I look at it, if they would stop criminalizing our Creator's plants, things would probably go a lot better for everyone. And there would be no narco gang money to corrupt the politicians with (which is probably one big reason why coca and cannabis are illegal to begin with). Just my opinion. And your grow room sounds cool.

And your grow room sounds cool. Ja ja!!! I am not into the selling business. If you want to make Rick Simpson oil, you need a lot of stuff. My plants are indica strain which are much shorter. I have 18 plants now going to last week of flowering and also have another 18 beginning veggie stage. These all are inside a small 14' by 4'. The harvest is not that much to make a good batch of the oil, I figure 3 to 4 harvests a year will give me what I need. Probably the only thing I will use then.

Papito, are you all indoors, with LED? Or what is your light source? And what do you figure your electric bill is for that setup?

Post by papitohead on Jul 18, 2018 23:43:09 GMT -5
All Led indoors. yes. I raised my bill to about $75 USD on top of my bill but not because the six LEDs, but because the air conditioner going 20 hours a day.
