While we wait for a coronavirus cure, scientists have found that CBD helps reduce the lung damage caused by COVID-19.

A study at the Medical College of Georgia has shown that a CBD treatment has increased a natural peptide called apelin, which reduces inflammation. The cannabis community has long championed CBD strains and effects of them, so it comes without surprise that CBD might be an effective treatment against respiratory diseases. Not only does CBD reduce inflammation, but the report showed it also improves oxygen levels and reduces the physical lung damage caused by infections like the COVID-19.

Nobody likes going to the dentist, but people like growing sweet cannabis strains and in recent years, a cavity in the market has been filled with sweet cannabis strains that have even sweeter names. Judging by the ever-growing list of cookies cannabis strains, the love of sweet cannabis strains show no sign of decaying.

Sweet Cannabis Strains:

In honour of all the grow tents bursting with sweet cannabis strains, Amsterdam Seed Center booked in for a check-up in the dreaded dentist chair to find out the seven sweet cannabis strains your dentist recommends avoiding.

Congratulations, you’ve found a seed. More specifically a bagseed, as the seeds found in packaged or bagged flower are commonly called.

Maybe congratulations aren’t quite in order. Depending on where it came from, who you ask, and if the seed is viable or not will affect your level of excitement.

While finding a seed in your stash is not ideal for truly exceptional flower and much less common than it once was, it is a pretty ordinary occurrence. Anyone who has been smoking cannabis for some time has undoubtedly come across a bagseed. Sometimes you’ll notice one when grinding down some flower or you’ll see it pop, spark, and crackle as the heat of your lit bowl pops the precious kernel within.

Ok, so you found a bagseed. Now what?

These last years’ biggest cannabis hype has been, without any doubt, OG Kush. This is the most highly regarded and most requested marijuana strain by Californian VIPs. Why? Well, because she marvellously combines an incredible flavour with mind-blowing effects that are unsuitable for beginners. Consuming OG Kush is like getting an incredible whiff of lemon and diesel oil accompanied by some earthy hints.

Regular Seeds (Regs) is the term applied to non-feminized seeds that produce either male or female cannabis plants, in a natural ratio. That being said, Regs are not really suitable for a direct seed-to-harvest crop, because there won’t be only female plants and, as said before, only female plants will produce flowers (buds). Regular Seeds are mostly used to breed new cannabis cultivars (strains) or for the selection of mother-plants for cloning purposes.

Feminized seeds (Fems) are guaranteed to only produce female plants and because they are specifically bred for this reason; NO BOYS ALLOWED! Growing cannabis from feminized seeds will bypass the hassle with males and the whole selection process; this comes in handy especially when growers are limited by space (keeping a motherplant requires more space). With Fems you will be able to grow your favorite genetics directly from seed to harvest!

Autoflowering cannabis plants have become popular for a number of reasons. Growers who are looking to save time have found the quick flowering time of autoflowers to be useful for obvious reasons. Due to the ruderails gene present in auto's, most auto's will harvest  within 60 -75 days of germination, the plant will grow much faster and ultimately flower faster than feminized and regular plants.
