![]() ![]() We do it because it’s the type of weed we like to smoke.” They have been recreating these genetics in seed form to continue their preservation efforts, and now make these special genetics available to the public and commercial producers. We are just trying to get some of these varieties that have been almost lost back into the gene pool. As Bob Hemphill of Crickets and Cicadas says, “We saw good pure Hashplants, good pure NL, NL Skunk, and NL Haze, but none of them were as good as NL Hashplant. The two varieties that really stood out back then were “The Kill” (a Northern Lights (aka NL)/Hashplant x G13/NL) and the Hashplant NL #1. Author’s NotesĬrickets and Cicada Seeds has been collecting and preserving rare clones of mostly Indica strains from the ’90s that had almost disappeared. Hints of spray paint in some cultivars, and some have hints of sour diesel. Earthy, citrus, peppery, funky, herbal, musky. Terpene profile: Myrcene, limonene, caryophyllene, and humulene. Susceptibility to disease: Shows extreme resistance to powdery mildew and strong resistance to insects.Ĭannabinoid profile: THC content typically 25% to 28% ![]() Nutrient needs: Moderately heavy eater, can handle high spikes in EC but would prefer to be kept in a consistent middle range once in flower, tapering off toward the end of its lifecycle. Lazy Dog has a vigorous structure and growth cycle that benefits from consistent irrigation at a moderately high EC. Lower RH and temperature levels during the final maturation stage slows down the degradation of terpenes and enhances flavor and shelf life of the harvested flowers. Reducing light intensity will help the plant transition without stress. Ideal humidity: 70% relative humidity (RH) throughout the vegetative growth and most of flower, reducing to 50% RH in the last two weeks, in line with the drop in temperature. Ideal temperature: Crickets and Cicada Seeds grows its plants at 78° to 80° F throughout most of the crop’s lifecycle, dropping to about 70° F in the last two weeks. Ideal lighting: Medium to heavy intensity, on par with most commercially produced varieties. Yield: Depending on cultivation methods and level of crop control, yields should range between 30 to 65 grams per square foot.įlowering time: 56 to 60 days on most phenotypes Plant physiology: Broad leafed Afghanica dominant variety, very easy to grow with a great structure, needs very little support. That's just what people used to call high-quality cannabis.Photo courtesy of Crickets and Cicada Seeds Cultivar Details: Tl DR: There is no strain called "Kind Bud" and never was. The term "Kind Bud" gradually left the vernacular as growers and smokers became more and more educated about different strains and their effects, and sensimilla became dominant. The name stuck until about mid-2000s and high quality cannabis started becoming widely available and numerous strains were being produced. This lead to the misconception of sensimilla being an actual strain, and people would often refer to this as "Kind Bud" do it's high potency, and lack of seeds. It wasn't until the 80s that people really started taking growing seriously, and discovered sensimilla, those tight, dense, seedless buds, where the female was allowed to bud, but not be fertilized. KB was an umbrella term for high-quality cannabis that was typically grown using controlled methods where in the past, most cannabis was grown "naturally" meaning out in a field, or pot-and-dirt indoors leading to loose, seedy, low-to-medium quality cannabis. Been a smoker for 15 years now (holy shit, I'm getting old) come from a family of potheads that have been smoking since the 60's, I've got an uncle that's grown for years, cousins in Michigan that grow for a dispensary. ![]()
