Hey guys I’m going to grow cbd plants as I don’t smoke weed. I’m growing for my wife. I have auto flower cbd seeds on the way. Any advice how to grow them? Can I grow them with my 23 day old plants?

Watch this video. He tests each week to find peak CBD %.
Its not the same as peak THC in the timing of the harvest.
Other than the harvest time its no different than growing any other cannabis plant.

I have grown a couple cbd plants, treated them like any other cannabis plant. I harvested when the trichomes were all milky, which i was happy with. Im not sure about going in with your older plants, i would say they should be fine being auto flowers.

Growing them is the same. But if you wait for amber you will lose CBD.
This grower lost almost all of it by waiting. He had it tested and had very little CBD,
Watch the video and follow the YouTube channel spiney_norman posted (Hemp in a pot). Don’t make my mistake. I was trying to reach higher CBD levels and assumed it was like growing Mary Jane for the higher THC.

Like i said in my reply, all milky trichomes which i was happy with. Yes i agree you do lose cbd if you wait too long, but not at risk of somehow getting high levels of thc. This person needs to check with their seed bank, amber trichomes do not equal higher levels of thc.

Yeah, didn’t mean to sound like I was disagreeing with your comment.
All milky is perfect for CBD.
The guy in the other post had a plant that ILGM estimates the THC at 6-9%.
It came out at 14% and that’s no surprise considering how much cannabis likes to do its own thing genetically. Plus who knows how it was actually tested. Some of those home testers are very inaccurate.
