Hello, have you tried to harvest an indica-type plant early? and used that? like trichs 50/50 clear-milky NO amber. I have a dutch skunk x afghan landrace 'broadleaved' type here that gives me a clear not much psychedelic high, very motivational, effect lasts 2 hours only but comes down without any tiredness or much confusion (compared to other strains), only the hunger-crave is there. This is what I use for pre-workout.Doesn't matter what strain I smoke, I'm always completely lacking energy and motivation if I smoke before a workout. It's an extremely noticeable difference for me.
Might come down to the fact that I use it as a psychological crutch to relax or sleep. Could be behavioral patterns kicking in after a smoke, but I definitely have zero energy after smoking.
I can happily go for a hike or fishing, but as soon as I try calisthenics or weight training on weed I feel like I have a person hanging from every appendage.
One example of experience was I came home from work at Monday and was really too tired to train. So I just rested and went to bed early. I didnt want to smoke this day having a normal sleep was restless too and just slumbered a bit. And it bugged me that I didnt observe the training plan. So after 2h or so of lying still groggy in bed I decided to smoke a bowel of this weed and after 5 minutes I dressed and made a 2h heavy workout at my home - I have a small private training room here that I use when I just can't muster the time for the club.
And there the effect of this weed was most obvious - tiredness got blown away, think coke. Muscle or joint aches are heavily reduced, brutally motivating to train into the pain, increased heart-beat rate from the smoke also - I monitor these vital functions 24/7.
But when I take an amber trich strain - it will kill the training after 20-30mins when I get tired/demotivated.
And with a 'sativa' (only THC) strain I get too confused, even paranoid, when I smoke that if cut "too early".
I cannot say what is the main cannabinoid composition on my training weed but it could be pre-cursors to THC and for sure needs to exclude CBD/CBN.
I grew said strain "Misty Kush" around 3 years, always from clone under HPS, Cree Cob LED, and outdoors in 3 different locations on an altitude of 1200m, 750m & 550m and taste, scent, budform/structure is 100% the same but the time of harvest has a major influence on the effect, length & aftermath of the high. If harvested not early it will also make me tired and then it's not suitable for training.
So it doesnt surprise me when I see growers trying to max dry harvest weight that this stuff can't be used for training, it's like dope in effect. But it's easy to just pluck a bud at any time of flower and experience the cannabinoid profile.
