“I have been suffering from insomnia for several years now. It makes me totally grumpy, I am in a bad mood and very quickly irritable. Then a friend recently turned me on to CBD oil. At first I was very skeptical, but today I am incredibly grateful to her. I sleep much better and especially deeper since taking the drops. This has a positive effect on my overall vitality, mood and also my immune system.”
What exactly is cannabis?
In many countries around the world, growing cannabis plants is legal. Should you be interested in growing cannabis plants or buying cannabis seeds, please check thoroughly with the local authority beforehand. The legal situation varies enormously from country to country, so this is the safest way and you are immediately up to date with the latest knowledge. Individual preparations such as CBD extracts with less than 0.2 percent THC do not have a psychoactive effect and are therefore legal in Germany according to the current legal situation.
What types of hemp seeds are there?
For the cultivation of very high quality cannabis, there are basically four types of hemp seeds available. The autoflowering seeds or autoflowering hemp seeds are known for an easy harvest, which can take place several times a year. Due to a special breeding method, no light cycles or flowering times need to be observed. The seeds will flower on their own at a certain stage of maturity. The second type are the regular hemp seeds. From regular cannabis seeds grow both female and male cannabis plants, so as it was given and intended by nature. Feminized cannabis seeds are the third type of cannabis seeds and from this only female plants are produced. This variety is strongly preferred by professional growers, but beginners also like to buy these seeds. Finally, CBD cannabis seeds must be mentioned as the fourth group. Cannabidiol, or CBD for short, is extracted from the female hemp plant and is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid. From a medical perspective, it has a wide variety of uses and is used to treat multiple symptoms. CBD is sold as a dietary supplement and does not require a prescription. Sites like Zamnesia give you a clear insight into the world of hemp seeds as well as good tips when ordering hemp seeds.
What to consider when it comes to storage?
In dry condition, seeds can be kept for a very long time and you can store the seeds without hesitation. Thereby, only a few small things are important, which are now briefly explained. Probably the best place for storage is the cellar. Furthermore, it should be noted that the seeds are not exposed to direct light. This can be prevented by opaque containers. If the hemp seed gets the opportunity to swell due to moisture, then it begins to germinate. Do you not want to start planting your hemp seeds immediately after buying them? Then make sure that the seeds can wait at an appropriate temperature for the perfect time. You can also store the purchased hemp seeds in your refrigerator or freezer without any problems. If at some point you decide to start growing, give the hemp seeds enough time to acclimatize. After successful planting, the seeds may get plenty of sunlight so that they can grow into a beautiful hemp plant.
What is a vaporizer?
With the help of a vaporizer or vaporizer, special active ingredients can be specifically vaporized. The device that is specifically designed for the vaporization of plant materials, as opposed to burning (oxidation), offers many more advantages. It is important that the vaporizer is operated at a low temperature, as this means better extraction. Vaporizing does not produce unwanted byproducts such as toxins and other poisons. Thus, active ingredients of, for example, cannabis or other herbs and plants can be released. The separated active ingredients are inhaled with the help of the vapor or collected in a small bag for consumption. The extraction containers of the devices are made of metal or glass. Vaporizers are available in many different shapes, sizes and colors. Thus, there are mobile versions or devices for home, which should have a fixed place such as on the table. Portable vaporizers are very easy to use and fit in any pocket.Limitations are in the area of temperature and other settings. Stationary vaporizers, or also called tabletop vaporizers, are tied to an external power source. They are much larger and have a wide range of settings. For example, the temperature can be set individually and the user can also determine the filling quantity. The scope of delivery often includes mouthpieces and extensions for hookahs. Since the temperature setting is enormously important for the exploitation of the potential of the plant, the following is a table of the optimal temperature of some agents:
- THC: 157°C
- CBD: 170°C
- Delta-8-THC: 175°C
- CBN: 185°C
- CBC: 220°C
- THCV: 220°C
How do vaporizers work?
Vaporizers use the mechanism of convective or conductive heating. What it means. Vaporizers that work on the convective principle use the mechanism of heat transport, or heat entrainment. The air is heated in the chamber so that the substances of the herbs or the plant are transformed into steam. In contrast, there are vaporizers, which work on the principle of conductive heating. These devices heat a small surface on which, for example, the cannabis lies. To ensure uniform heating and vapor formation, the conductive vaporizer must be shaken at times.
What are the advantages of vaporizing?
The advantages are listed in bullet points for ease of reference:
- Fewer chemicals are inhaled because the material does not burn
- More flavor and aromas are released, which are normally lost when smoking
- Vaporizers produce less smoke and no odors are left in the surrounding air
- Higher doses of THC are converted into vapor
- Even very dry cannabis can still be used. As a rule of thumb, the drier the cannabis, the lower the temperature used.
