G-R-O-W-I-N-G
Welcome to my next grow. This grow will be in my storage cabinet. For reference here are the specs.

Flower Chamber:
20"D x 36"W x 48H
2 x 180w (110 draw) Blackstar Chrome LEDs
4" inline fan with carbon filter.

Vegetive Chamber:
20"D x 24"W x 20"D
4 bulb 2 foot T5HO
Shares exhaust with flower chamber

The medium will be Fox Farms Coco Loco.
The pots will be 5 gallon smart pots.
The nutrients will be Bio Canna line (Vega, Flores, Boost, and Rhizotonic) according to their schedule.
The strain will be Juanita de Lagrimosa. Here is the breeders description:

Genetics: Reina Madre x Diesel
Type: Mostly Sativa
Indoor Flowering: 60/65 days
Outdoor Flowering: Early October.
Yield: Medium
CBD: 8%
THC: 6%

Finally she is here, Juanita la Lagrimosa in her feminised version.

Having come from a collaboration with Elite Seeds, they have feminised it, with guarantees, a Juanita for whoever may want to grow her, for all to enjoy her raw qualities. A cross between a Mexican/Afghani x Reina Madre original created Juanita la Lagrimosa, a plant which you won't forget, that's a Reggae Seeds guarantee. This mainly Sativa plant, has a high yield and a relatively short flowering, pulling up at around 60/65 days indoors & harvesting around the first fortnight of October.

Her citric Haze aroma, a hash-like/fruity taste & her Haze-like/Hash-like smoke will surprise you over and over again, it will remind you of so many things that the only thing you will want is to keep "the Precious" all to yourself. It also has a very clean cerebral effect, which will send you high, high, high, high. You won't stop thinking, talking & moving, as it is very social. Not exactly recommended for relaxing.

I recently picked up some Juanita de Lagrimosa from the dispensary because of its 1:1 THC:CBD ratio. I immediately fell in love with this girl. The combination of THC and CBD is some of the best medicine for my condition. Smoking this makes my anxieties wash away better than Xanax, my body too relaxes as a calm euphoric feel keeps you from getting couch locked. The main comment I got from friends was that it reminds them of what we smoked high school (late 90s).


This is Juanita, she is a BIG girl and gets extra love and praise, don't tell her "sisters". She had side branches and huge leaves at only five nodes. I took two small side branches and put them in the cloner. I also topped her two days ago. She's already recovered and is trying to kiss the T5HO, so I did some LST on her. Note the lighter in the background for scale.

The plan is to get 2-3 good clones rooted and move them under the LEDs for a few weeks veg. I'm still debating two or three plants. That will determine how long to veg.

Watered with pH 6.1 water.

Juanita is ready for some nitrogen. She's been on a water only diet until now. She's a kinky girl and seems to love being tied up. She already has six growth tips. I think once I get a couple rooted clones of Juanita, she's going to move to the penthouse upstairs.

Juanita had a feeding of:
8 ml/gal Bio Vega
8 ml/gal Rhizotonic

With the colder weather, I've been having a difficult time taking clones. I've had some success, but it's been hit or miss. While discussing this with my brother, he suggested I use 24/0 lighting for cloning to promote root development. So, I set my timer in the flower chamber to 24/0 and moved my bubble cloner and seedling mat in there too. The lights are only 1/2 way on and up as high as they will go. I didn't want to light stress them.


Took some more clones, as the moms needed a trim anyway. Juanita gave me four 2 1/2" cuts. I'm trying the perlite method one last time. I've only had one success with this method, but I've never done it with 24/0 lighting.


These are the clones I took about 9 days ago. It had to replace my air stone, notice how the left side sponges look dry.

This has been posted a few times, but I want to put it here for reference. While looking for more info on the strain I ran into this article on the CBD Wave. I was surprised on how important a role Juanita de Lagrimosa played in the CBD Wave.

[ReikoX]

Juanita is a tough little girl. I took four more clones off of her three days ago and she could even give me a couple more today. I decided to tie her up some more and work her way around the pot.


After getting tied up she got pH 6.0 water and put back with her sisters. I expect her to be facing back upward in a day or so.

You are off to a nice start. The LST is working.

That seems like a generous description of the effects for only being 6% THC. However, the CBD rating of 8% could be in the mix too. I don't have any experience with CBD strains.

Have you tried this before?

Thanks, she's already asking me to take more cuttings off her.

Yes, I've tried this strain from my dispensary and fell in love with her! She tested at 8% THC, 8% CBD. A great euphoric high with no ceiling or crash on the way down.
