Ringo’s Gift CBD

Ringo’s Gift CBD

From an intriguing breeding story to being a household name in Barcelona’s cannabis cafes, Ringo’s Gift CBD never disappoints. This high-profile strain, bred from Harle-Tsu and ACDC, has evolved into one with high CBD and minimal THC. In 2015, its therapeutic reputation and great taste earned it the Best CBD Concentrate award during the Socal High Times Cannabis Cup.

Effects

Ringo’s Gift CBD is the perfect daytime strain. Its clear-headed, focused and relaxed effects kick in almost immediately. With only subtle psychoactive effects, this strain fits perfectly newbies looking for therapeutic benefits with no couch lock.

Pain

From the start, the effects are more comforting and relaxing for the body. Ringo’s Gift CBD knocks out all your soreness and unties any muscle knots. This is important in soothing chronic pain and inflammation that may be holding you down.

Depression and Stress Management

As you settle into your session, the effects turn more cerebral. To uplift your mood, you will feel your brain getting a much-needed massage to ease any wandering thoughts. Even in small doses, Ringo’s Gift CBD helps you to focus and lose any social anxiety, stress and depression.

Sleep

As a sativa-leaning hybrid, Ringo’s Gift CBD may not be the ultimate strain for sleep. However, many users have lauded how its other benefits work synergistically to improve their sleep. With the anxiety melting away and the pain soothed, you will have an easier time falling asleep when your tie comes.

Growing Ringo’s Gift CBD

If you have some cannabis growing background, Ringo’s Gift CBD offers the perfect adventure for you. This strain needs intermediate skills to thrive. It is a bit sensitive to nutrition, with some growers reporting withering even with no overfeeding or underfeeding. However, it regains its footing fast after optimization.

Ringo’s Gift is pretty adaptable to different climates. For outdoor growers, it blossoms under a warm Mediterranean climate where harsh winters are not an issue.  Growing it indoors offers better results as you can control temperatures and humidity.

Height

Ringo’s Gift CBD plants are small to medium in size. They often show a thick canopy that may require training, especially when multiple plants are fitted in a limited space.

Flowering Time

The plants take their time to mature but end up with an above-average yield with high cannabinoid and terpene concentrations. Typically, Ringo’s Gift CBD takes anywhere between 9 and 10 weeks to finish flowering.

Yield

Ringo’s Gift CBD yields well with outdoor setups offering up to 350 grams per plant. Indoor growers get about 350 grams per square meter.

Mastering Ringo’s Gift CBD for Optimal Growth

As mentioned before, this strain requires closer attention to nutrition. Proper feeding avoids stressing the plants which affects the overall yield quality and quantity. Plus, identifying any signs and symptoms at an earlier stage ensures the plants recuperate faster.

Here are crucial tips to help you plan your Ringo’s Gift CBD nutrition program.

Nutrients Needed at Each Stage

• Seedling– At this stage, your Ringo’s Gift CBD needs a more neutral mix with mild nitrogen so as to avoid burning the fragile roots. This mix is essential in supporting early vigorous growth and helps establish a solid root system that will aid in optimal nutrient absorption later.
• Vegetative– A slight increase in nitrogen helps with the formation of leaves and stems.  Balance it with phosphorus, potassium and other micronutrients to strengthen the plants and boost their resilience.
• Flowering– As the planets start forming nodes, go for lesser nitrogen in your growing medium. Higher nitrogen encourages leaf growth in the place of flowers. Also, bump up the phosphorus and potassium for denser and resin-filled buds.
• Maturity– About two weeks before the harvesting day, stop any nutrient addition and begin flushing the plants. This helps with optimizing the taste and smoothness of your nugs.

Choosing your Growing Medium

The best-growing medium that supports optimal nutrient use starts with a proper drainage system. It works by preventing water logging while allowing for adequate moisture retention. Moisture is essential in dissolving nutrients that are absorbed in the roots. 

Coco-coir and loose soil mixes work best for this purpose. Hydroponics are the gold standard for nutrient delivery despite needing high technical skills.

Optimizing Nutrient Absorption

Once the nutrients are in the plant, you need to optimize how the plants utilize them. Temperature, humidity and lighting play a key role in the health of your plants. Any stress arising from these factors stresses the plants and disrupts not only nutrient absorption but also utilization.

Origin And History

It all starts with the magnificent work of Lawrence Ringo, a CBD expert and activist who the strain is named after. In order to make the first phenotype, he blended ACDC and Harle-Tsu. These two strains were some of the most popular CBD flowers of the time.

Over time, several breeding houses have perfected Ringo’s Gift CBD to achieve USDA compliance when it comes to THC. That is how we got away from the 1:1 CBD to THC ratio to this strain’s 24:1 ratio.
