Even though Washington D.C. will not yet be following the recreational storefront example set by states such as Colorado and Washington, personal cultivation of up to six plants remains part of the groundbreaking initiative. Capitol Hill itself is soon to be surrounded by residential grows, and each will become a beacon of change as the United States transitions into a new age of drug policy reform.

The sticky resin glands coating the outside of female flowers (trichomes) are of particular interest. One compound found within those glands, which most people are familiar with, is tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). This is a type of molecule known as a cannabinoid, and its unique molecular shape triggers a response in the brain which produces a psychoactive effect in conjunction with other cannabinoids.

Another cannabinoid now drawing attention in the world of medical marijuana is cannabidiol (CBD). While CBD alone does not cause a psychoactive response, it does augment the effect experienced when THC is also present. Most strains on the market today are upper-level potency in terms of THC, and so consumers are recognizing preferred effects have more to do with the ratio of given cannabinoids (THC:CBD) than their individual levels of concentration.

This is exciting for future research, as THC and CBD are but two of 85 known cannabinoids. Given such a unique classification of molecules, able to produce noticeably different effects, experimenting with the lesser-known types could very well reveal the answer to any number of medical conditions; extracts of CBD have already proven useful in the treatment of certain types of cancer as well as seizure-causing disorders in children. Time will tell what other benefits might be hidden in those incredible trichomes!

The resin glands themselves depend on natural processes in order to reach their full potential. This is the reason organic growing is the preferred growing method when it comes to producing the most effective medicine.

With a high value crop like cannabis, consistent production output in the least time possible is a bottom-line priority. Especially on a commercial scale, keeping the shelves stocked takes priority over achieving the best possible quality. Many of these grows use synthetic methods to streamline the process, and succeed to the point of sustaining a profitable business. Growers familiar with these synthetic methods are the ones able to offer the best insight regarding organic grows, since they have such experience in the comparison. There’s a good reason many come home to a personal garden that’s no less than fully organic.

The contents of a growing container eventually become the plant itself. We are what we eat, and they are what they eat too. Meaning no discredit to any synthetic method, organic marijuana is the simply the way to go with a product intended for consumption. Composition inconsistency and lack of contaminants have classically deterred production-minded growers from organic blends. Especially on a large scale, when the crops pay the bills, there’s no room to gamble with failure.

Yet, it’s hardly disputed that those with experienced palates cherish the clean natural flavor of organic cannabis over even the most thoroughly “flushed” hydroponic crop. When questioning whether a certain additive is suited to their garden, many old school organic growers will ask, “can you drink it?” When it comes to Ideal 420 Soil, the only thing to add is water. (Drink up!)

With the luxury of such convenient maintenance, and standards of quality previously non-existent in organic cannabis products, Just Add Water Soil permits the efficiency and consistency of a calculated hydroponic grow. At the same time, the natural style brings out the full citrus punch of your Super Lemon Haze… and the most profound notes of fruit in that good old Blueberry. Also, as a natural crop has the capability to foster the fullest potential of any given genetics, maximum potency is never compromised.
