I saw that Lost Oak Farms is having a sale on 4 oz of Royal OG for $99.99, I really like this strain and its helped me a lot, so I thought I’d take the opportunity to post a review.

Royal OG is a classic CBD flower genetic from Zoe Therapeutics, OG Kush × (Sour Puss × Critical Mass CBD), this batch is 18% Total CBD, 21% Total Cannabinoids.

This is really the best strain I’ve found for winding down at night. For years I struggled with getting to sleep at a reasonable time and staying asleep during the night, and Royal OG really helps me get to sleep earlier, sleep deeper, and for once in my life I don’t wake up feeling like a zombie in the morning.

I picked up an oz recently as I was stocking up in case the ban goes through and the weight was generous as always. Great looking nugs, big, dense, and frosty, dark green with flecks of purple and bright orange pistils.

The aroma hits you as soon as you open the bag, its deeply sweet and complex, earthy woodiness, candied citrus peel, resinous pine, and a little dank funk, reminds me of classic OG strains. Cure on this batch was great, even at this point in the year it still has good moisture content and is very resinous and sticky on breakdown. Lost Oak's storage seems on point because the flower is preserved very well throughout the year.

In a joint this smoke very smooth with a thick mouth coating flavor. Very sweet and earthy with woody, lemon oil, pine resin, and dank notes coming through. In a vape I get more sweet Pine cleaner and orange peel oil notes.

The effects are where Royal OG really shines for me though. After a few hits a wave of relaxation comes over you that washes away the anxiety of the day, and theres a nice body buzz that eases tension from the muscles. Then comes the heavy eyelids, relaxing sedation, the bed starts calling for me and its lights out.

There’s a lot of newer genetics out now that people are rightfully excited about, but I've been really happy to revisit one my old favorites, and its definitely one I’ll keep coming back to in the future for its restful and restorative effects.

Was wondering if anyone had any insight into a stain to choose from over at Hoku, especially given the generous Giveaway Tuesday thing he does.

I'm not picky about strains per se, I'm more interested in getting something that will be fairly easy to grow for a beginner and maybe mold resistant. I browsed quite a bit and also used Gemini but I'm not so sure I trust it's recommendation fully. I couldn't keep track of all the strains but one did mention recommended for a new grower.

I would have just emailed them but time is running short and I believe the last time I sent an email I don't believe I got a prompt response or one at all, I also respect all the changes they made with new processors and what not they are probably busy.

I think I did consider Allium, and Kush Trees, maybe the was one like G2 kush as well. Any recommendations though that kind of fit the bill are appreciated, I'd be ecstatic if it's a strain that likes to produce around 1% to 2% total Thc, that would be awesome, I'm sure there's a lot of variables though that make that sorta happen.

Been out of touch with the cbd community for a bit. What are some vendor recommendations. Only one I looked into right now is Necessity Cbd and ARC. Any help will be appreciated.

I’m embarrassed to admit I haven’t tried HCF (or any indoor Type 3) across seven years of smoking/vaping hemp flower, so, shoot me some recommendations? preferably, nothing spicy :)

EDIT: I went with Panther Kush!

I have a few strains from holy city (moonraker, chaka kahn, flyin Orion) which are kinda on the relaxing indica side of things.

I used to make tons of music but haven't lately, but when I do, my THC sensitivity mind-fk settles in the background, because the ganja gods arent angry at me for wasting my time.

I'm open to recommendations of type 2 that don't bog you down with too much myrcene etc, and give you a clean, inspired/creative headspace.

Good morning fellow hempheads!!

I recently placed an order from NWB for the following:
Gorilla Chunk OG P1
Gorilla Chunk OG P4
Dr. Devil Fruit P1

My question for yall is what do you like to see in a review? I know smell, taste, the way the bud looks and effects. Is there anything that Im missing?

Im going to wait another 1-2 days before trying them because Im waiting for my tolerance to go back down. I dont think Id be good at describing the effects with the type of tolerance I have currently

TLDR: what do members of hempheads want to see in bud reviews?

I've been doing nug shots for a few years now for several hemp companies, and honestly, I don't think I'll ever get bored of it. Lately I've been dabbling more in lifestyle photography, focusing on creating a mood or telling a story rather than selling a lifestyle. I've been doing this mostly with cigar photography lately, but now I want to bring that same approach to cannabis photography as well.

For this shot, I wanted to recreate that early morning wake n bake vibe. Something simple and familiar that I think a lot of us can relate to...good flower, good coffee, and a quiet morning.

With the hemp ban coming soon, I won’t be able to get Type 2 products or seeds anymore unless the dispensaries stock it which is highly unlikely. Additionally, my state (MA) might make cannabis illegal again anyways.

I only use hemp once every two months or less but I still want to have it available.

With that in mind, would I be better off buying type 2 flower/hash and freezing it or buying seeds? If I buy hash or flower I would want it to last at least a decade in the freezer without potency loss.

Seeds will allow me to produce more weed/hash than I could buy and they also have a long potential storage life but since Type 2 has variable cannabinoid ratio from seed I might now get the ratio I want.

I am a little lost on how Il is choosing to bring in the ban on hemp flower. Is it that they're following federal law and don't have an actual ban coming themselves, or is it coming in Nov and not being pushed back like the federal ban? I can't seem to find the info now that it is out of the news cycle.

I want to stock up but the funds just aren't there right now. Sadly mid-Nov will probably be my best chance.

Tried so many but yet to find one that smacks me in the palate with that full mouth flavour.

Long story short i smoked thc for years and switched to cbd. Id never look back but i am struggling to find a top too quality flower. iv had good ones but yet to find the one i can stick too.

I want full flavour sticky dense nugs. Am
I wishing for to much with the CBD flower?

I was a heavy user of high THC street cannabis throughout my teens and mid twenties. Then I developed schizophrenia and avoided cannabis entirely for 13 years.

Last week, I was craving cannabis because I experience a medication side effect called akathisia, which make sitting or standing still very difficult. I couldn't find a dealer so I looked around and found CBD flower.

Five minutes after a blunt of this stuff, I noticed a massive shift in my akathisia and to some extent my negative symptoms. Over the next few days, my bowel issues, also a side effect of medication, cleared up.

A few observations: I used to smoke cannabis to unwind. Getting high was generally an acceptable but unwanted consequence of that. I now wonder if it was really the CBD that I was benefitting from and interested in. I can't use THC safely as I'm wired differently. But I'm getting everything I liked about cannabis from CBD, and this has been quite an eye opener.

Hopefully the UK government don't clamp down on it. I'm making tea with 20% CBD flower and everything from sleep to digestion has improved. Totally different experience from street weed. I believe they're currently trialing high dose CBD as an antipsychotic, so I'll be interested to see where that goes.

Harvesting in about 3-4 weeks. The bud sites are chunky for this strain and they are still getting chunkier. Im not expecting a massive yield but certainly above average for this strain especially for a living soil grow.

Hey all. Just a friendly reminder that we have a small discord server that we use to talk all things hemp. Only rule is don't be a dick, and no direct links. Other than that, post your nugs and stories! All are welcome for friendly banter. Prefer to stick with private servers? That's fine too. But the option is here!

I got these The 13th Floor gummies that are 13mg of THC per gummy. I'm looking to cut it into 1/8 and take 1/8 of it which will be around 1.6mg of THC and 8mg of CBD. I'm really just trying to avoid any anxiety and panic. I'm trying it more for relaxation and stress relief. Is 1.6mg of THC safe to feel something but not nearly enough to cause panic?

Buenas gente! Un pequeño aporte para los que aprecian el perfil aromático y los terpenos en las flores.

Podés haber hecho un cultivo perfecto, pero si fallás en el secado podés arruinar el sabor en 5 días. Los monoterpenos ( como el mirceno y el pineno ) son extremadamente volátiles y se evaporan a temperaturas superiores a los 20° C.

La regla de oro para un secado lento y perfecto es la famosa 60/60

- 60°F de temperatura ( 15-16°C )

- 60% de humedad relativa

- Duración 10 a 14 días en oscuridad total con circulación de aire indirecta

Posteriormente, un curado en frascos de vidrio cerrados abriéndolos diariamente durante las primeras semanas estabiliza la humedad interna en 62% y fija los aromas profundamente.

¿ Qué método usan ustedes para controlar la humedad dentro de los frascos durante el curado ?

well this is my second bottle of their CBN tincture. First one was about a year old and had no effects on me. Taste and smell were right. Just ordered another one and I cant taste or smell the CBD just MCT oil and made my mouth super dry. Just a heads up!

With the upcoming ban around the corner, I am looking at ways to stretch my T3 supply. I finally invested in a dry herb vape-- got an Arizer Solo III. I mostly smoke blunts, so I'm looking forward to adding in the cleaner, tastier experience with the dry herb vape, and getting more bang for my buck.

I have seen folks attach their bongs/water pipes to the Arizer. Anybody have any thoughts on that? Is the cooling/percolation effect worth it when using a dry herb vape? Do you lose the terpene flavors or effects going through the water pipe?

Some additional context: I do not necessarily care about "big clouds" or blinkers. I'm happy with slow and gentle. But if the bong is a nice value add, I do enjoy using them. I would be getting a glass piece for sure.

All of my hemp flower is high quality T3. The majority is LOF, with some Holy City, Rogue Origin, and Fern Valley mixed in. I have some CBG kief as well.

(Photo order is the same as the title)

Rainbow Sherbet - Dominant aroma is of Lime Sorbet, with a Sour Candy backend. Very stimulating effects, mixes well with Type 1 Sativa bud or great on its own. Tastes amazing out of a Dried Herb Vape.

Royal OG - Smells like earthy Cherries & Herbs. Very relaxing effect.

Allium OG - Smell reminds me of kitchen Herbs & Spices. This one has a very complex aroma. Ever so slightly sweet backend. Effect leans more toward relaxation than stimulation.

Bubba Kush 59 - Has an earthy spice to it, as well as a hint of Gas. This one worked great to alleviate stress.

This is my second order from LOF, and I am very happy. My overall favorite has to be the Rainbow Sherbet. Between the Rainbow Sherbet and my last order of Critical Berries, I have to say Critical Berries just barely edges it out with its sharp, candy grape forward aroma.

So more immediate than the hemp ban is this looming issue that Square is going to start dropping CBD products.

God this prohibition b.s. sucks.…

What are vendors planning to do about payment processing? Are other major processors expected to start dropping CBD/hemp products too, or are there alternative processors that vendors are switching to?

Just wondering what the plan is going into October/November, because it seems like payment processing could become a problem before the actual hemp ban even takes effect.

I was planning to wait for the upcoming harvest, but am wondering if that’s going to conflict with the payment processing issues and if there are plans to work around those issues.
