CBD ACDC Feminised

Germination & Early Veg (Days 1-14): CBD ACDC seeds typically crack within 48 hours using the damp paper towel method and break soil by around day 3. Early growth was steady and symmetrical — neither racing ahead nor lagging behind. Four well-developed nodes by day 14 with balanced internodal distance that hinted at the hybrid structure to come. Damping off is uncommon at around 70% relative humidity during this phase.

Vegetative Growth (Weeks 3-6): Responded beautifully to a simple top-and-train approach. Topping at node 4 produced six strong lateral leaders that we tied down gently, resulting in an even canopy across a 70cm x 70cm area by the time we flipped.

Flower (Weeks 1-10): This is where the 47/53 genetics of CBD ACDC truly revealed itself. The bisabolol aroma appeared in week 3 of flower and intensified steadily. Trichome coverage became visually striking from week 5 onward. Final indoor yield: 350-400 g/m2. Plant height: Small (0-120 cm). THC testing at 2%. Difficulty rating: moderate.

Mid-Flower (Weeks 4-6): The transformation accelerated dramatically. Bud sites that were wispy clusters at week 3 swelled into properly defined colas. Balanced development across all bud sites. The canopy we established during veg paid dividends now — eight equally developed colas rather than one dominant top and a collection of lesser branches. Trichome production was visible to the naked eye from week 4 onward.

Late Flower and Ripening (Weeks 8-10): Nutrient input dropped to plain water with a splash of molasses for the final 10 days. The bisabolol aroma became powerful enough that carbon filtration was essential — our neighbours would have noticed otherwise. Trichomes progressed from clear to milky across the final fortnight, with amber heads appearing on sugar leaves first. A common harvest window is around 15% amber on the calyxes.

Dry and Cure (Post-Harvest): Whole-plant hang dry in a darkened room at 17°C and 58% humidity for 12 days. Stems snapped cleanly rather than bending, confirming the moisture content was appropriate for jarring. After 4 weeks of glass jar curing with twice-daily burping (first 2 weeks) then daily burping (weeks 3-4), the bouquet fully developed. Final weight confirmed the 350-400 g/m2 yield estimate. The myrcene secondary terpene became far more pronounced after curing than it was at harvest — a reminder that the drying and curing process genuinely creates flavour rather than merely preserving it.

Flowering: 9-10 weeks. Indoor yield: 350-400 g/m2. Outdoor yield: 400-450 g/plant. Plant height: Small (0-120 cm). Rated moderate difficulty. Feminised seeds.

The sensory arc of CBD ACDC unfolds in stages. Initial inhalation at 2% THC brings a complex aromatic wave that shifts with each breath. The focused, calm effects emerge within minutes, presenting as a simultaneous head-and-body experience. Mental clarity remains intact whilst the muscles release tension progressively. This dual action makes it adaptable — a lighter dose suits afternoon tasks, a heavier dose transitions seamlessly into evening relaxation. The myrcene secondary terpene adds a distinct layer: additional body depth that reinforces the physical dimension.

Primary: Bisabolol · Secondary: Myrcene · Tertiary: Caryophyllene. This particular terpene trio appears frequently in award-winning cultivars and produces a nose that most growers find immediately appealing when jars are first opened after curing. The bisabolol dominance anchors the aroma, myrcene provides mid-range character, and caryophyllene contributes a subtle background note that distinguishes this strain from others sharing the same primary terpene.
