HAPPY NEW YEAR DEAR CANNAFRIEND!!! We are already in the year 2017 and I would like to wish everyone a Blessed, Greener and Healthier year! Which seeds did you grow last year? I grew out quite some seeds from the Amsterdam Seed Center, my personal stash and a handful of unreleased seeds that were gifted to me. In this edition I want to share my findings and experiences with you, that’s why I made a ‘Esje-Herb top-5 Cultivars of 2016’. What has to be said here is that everything is depending on personal taste and expectations, but from my experience I really believe that everyone who loves cannabis should try these cultivars and I will explain/show why.
The AmsterdamSeedCenter-Forum is a place where we can talk (anonymously) about everything that is related to our beloved cannabis plant. This is a place where I can also interact with you guys too. The @EsjeHerb column is great, but a two way conversation is even better! Let us expand our knowledge of the mighty herb and all things grow! Come and find me on http://amsterdamseedcenter-forum.com/viewforum.php?f=46
So I have a thread on the ASC-forum running right now about EXOTIC CULTIVARS. It is a real HOT TOPIC at the moment so I am going to bring this discussion to my blog this month.
From my experience I can really conclude that there is a difference between ‘common weed’ and more ‘exotic/terpene rich flowers’. Part of it has to do with growing and drying/curing skills, but I’m sure that the genetics that are being used play a BIG part.
CBD or Cannabidiol, is (just) one of many (phyto)-cannabinoids often found in Cannabis. Cannabis contains at least 85 types of cannabinoids, many of which have documented medical value.
You've probably thought about growing cannabis but decided against it because of the amount of work involved. Growing cannabis is not an easy task but it is not the most complicated thing you will ever do, I promise you that.
CBD is trending big at the moment. It seems as if, everywhere you turn, you are being told that CBD will cure your latest health complaint(s) and that it comes in so many forms you can even treat your pets to a better quality of life, and you know what… It seems to actually benefit many people as well as animals…; but can CBD cure a hangover?
At the AmsterdamSeedCenter we always get questions about what kind of strains customers should grow in their country, as each place has specific climate-related requirements...
What do they say? Men are from Mars and women are from Venus… Identification and separation of male and female plants is a very important aspect in the cultivation of regular cannabis seeds. If you don’t recognize the signs it could cost you your crop!
In this edition I will discuss the future of Cannabis –and that future is Extractions! The terms ‘Distillate’ and “Isolate” have probably crossed your ears because they are used in a wide range of applications nowadays and I think that they will get even more popular this year. I will do my best to explain in ‘common language’ what these terms mean and how these purified cannabis fractions are being made. Believe me people, molecular distillation is the future!
