Remedy

Remedy or Indica-dominant Hybrid is a strain that typically contains THC levels between 0.5% – 1% and CBD levels ranging from 12% – 15% (Up to 18% in ideal conditions). Known for its Earthy, Woody, Lemon-Pine profile, this strain has a growth expectation of being 4 – 5 feet (120–150 cm) in height, with a nutrient demand that is Moderate; sensitive to Nitrogen toxicity in late flower.

This Indica-dominant Hybrid is of the Genetype: Indica-dominant. The Remedy strain has 3 phases of the growing cycle.

The first phase is the Seedling Phase. Once you have decided to grow Remedy in either soil or hydroponiclay, the ph levels need to be monitored. The ph level desired by Indica-dominant Hybrid is 6.0 – 7.0 and 5.5 – 6.5 hydroponically. During this infancy stage, Remedy needs to maintain a target temperature of 75°F – 80°F (24°C – 27°C) for 2 to 3 weeks. Once the seed germinates, it will sprout it's first set of round leaves, or the cotyledons. If you are able to maintain the target humidity of 50% – 60%, the iconic serrated leaves will just begin to show themselves. During this critical Phase 1 of the Indica-dominant Hybrid growing cycle the plant is establishing a strong root sytem. Beginners often over water these fragile seedlings. Do not drown your seeds. You seedling Remedy needs care and gentle light. The recommended light cycle for growing Remedy is 18/6 for the first cycle, which should last .

The next is the Vegetative Phase. The Remedy will focus entirely on size and structural integity. The temperature needs also change for phase 2. If a target temperature of 68°F – 78°F (20°C – 25°C) is maintained and a target humidity of 40% – 50% is achieved, the Indica-dominant Hybrid will grow stems, branches and plenty of large fan leaves. This Indica-dominant is trying to build it's own solar panel of leaves to absorb energy. It is critical to maintain a proper light cycle of 12/12 for the entire phase 2 schedule. This consistent energy will help plant grow bigger without producing flowers, focusing it's energy on growing tall and strong. Remedy is at it's most resilient and may grow quickly. As phase 2 comes to an end, it may be topped or tied down, as it's training suitability is considered High; responds well to LST and SCROG to manage canopy.

The most exciting phase, when growing Indica-dominant is the Flowering Phase. The plants adulthood lasts . It is at this phase that the light cycle changes for the last time. Remedy will produce the most flowers when the light cycle is 12/12. Keep the temperature and humity controlled at 65°F – 72°F (18°C – 22°C) and 30% – 40% (to prevent bud rot) so you can really watch this plant strecth and almost double in height. It will want to start producing early into the flowering process.

You will know the Remedy is ready when the white hairs (pistils) turn amber/brown and the resin glands (trichomes) look milky or cloudy, rather than clear. Cutting the plant down even a week too early can significantly reduce the potency and weight of your harvest. Patience in the flowering phase will provide the best possible outomce of Indica-dominant Hybrid with a desired gorwth profile that will be:
Bushy, dense Indica structure with some Sativa-leaning phenotypes

Growers Notes: Hobby Grower’s Strategy for Remedy
Phenotype Variability: Keep an eye on your seedlings. While Remedy is Indica-dominant, some phenotypes may stretch more like its Afghan Skunk parent. Be prepared to top the plant early if it starts outgrowing your tent space.

The "CBD Stretch": Unlike high-THC Indicas that stay very squat, Remedy can have a surprising "stretch" during the first two weeks of flowering. Ensure you have at least 12 inches of clearance between your light and the canopy.

Aroma Management: While not as "skunky" as its lineage suggests, the terpene profile is rich. The Myrcene and Pinene will create a very fresh, forest-like scent that becomes quite pungent in the final three weeks.

Pro Tip: Remedy is known for its "yellow-tinted" buds. Don't mistake this natural coloration for a nutrient deficiency (chlorosis) in the late flowering stage—it’s a hallmark of the strain’s bag appeal!
