Has anyone got recipes for some blends they especially like to smoke, in terms of both flavor and effect? Does it help if the blend sits for a while to marry the flavors, like pipe tobacconists do? ---

I do it all the time…just to have something different than the individual genetics…today I am smoking GodFather OG (Sept22) and OG Kush (Feb23) ---

Nice! So is it trial and error, or do you look at the Terps and try to find complementary ones in different strains? And how is the effect of say a 50/50 blend of Sativa and Indica different than a hybrid with 50/50 genetics? ---

Blending is an under appreciated area in my view. I have found a blend that actually helps with my arthritis pain. My five fills the dry herb vape each day for my nighttime use and a couple weeks ago we were watching TV and after vaping the first time in the day I notice my pain had melted away. Now I take hydrocodone for it and it does ok in diminishing it but this was soo much better that that. She said she had just done a different mix because the baggies of ground up weed was a little low so she used a different mix that night. It was 1/3 of each - Harlequin, Northern Lights, Blue Dream. ---

Not sure how much experience you have with each of these individually, but i think she should attempt to get a good baseline for each, then try to run down what specifically about this mix helped her. Thumb eyeball assessment would say the cbd in harlequin is probably a good start, but probably needs some consideration to all cannabinoids and terpenes.
