999

A collaboration strain (cultivar) between Josh D (the creator of OG Kush) and breeders Karma Genetics, this mysterious hybrid strain is a 50/50 blend of indica and sativa.

It is a cross between strains Tahoe OG Kush, Triangle Kush, and Biker Kush. There is mild debate around THC and CBD levels for this strain, as little information was provided on release. Claims for the average THC range between zero and 22%, although most sources agree that CBD levels are negligible at 0%. 999 has been described as having energetic, uplifting effects, potentially very useful for managing stress, anxiety, and depression.

Flavonoids

Flavonoids are one of the lesser-known compounds in cannabis, and little is known about the flavonoids present in each strain because they are rarely tested. Like terpenes, flavonoids add to each strain’s flavor and fragrance profile.

Studies have shown that the major flavonoids present in all cannabis plants are cannflavins A, B, and C.

Effects

999s has been reported to have the following effects:

  • Energizing
  • Creativity
  • Relaxing
  • Uplifting
  • Focus

The following adverse effects have also been reported:

  • Dry Mouth
  • Thirst
  • Dry Eyes

The effects of this strain are a relaxing, uplifting, and energetic high. Many report a happy, sedative effect that may increase creativity and focus. The effects of this strain are likely to vary as there is so much natural variation in THC content. If you don’t know the strain levels, it is best to start small, or you might find yourself glued to the couch for most of the day.

This sedative effect also makes for great sleep improvement, so consuming at the end of the day is ideal for the 999. Negative side effects can include dry mouth or eyes, which are hard to avoid but can be helped by staying hydrated or sucking on a piece of candy to increase saliva.

Dosing

Unfortunately, dosing is a bit of a guessing game with 999 because of its variable THC levels. It is important to remember that each individual has a “therapeutic window” in which you can enjoy a delightful and beneficial high; at a higher dosage than this, you may start to experience increased adverse side effects.

For more frequent users, this window is much larger than for inexperienced users, so if you are just beginning to explore the benefits of medicinal marijuana, starting off with a smaller dose and slowly working your way up is recommended.

Growing

Like its Kush ancestors, the 999 strain is relatively resilient and can grow indoors and outdoors. However, it is an advanced strain to grow. The strain is difficult to track down, as it was initially intended to be a limited edition product. If you have the good fortune of acquiring a plant cutting, ensure you have an in-depth understanding of growing Kush-type strains before starting cultivation.

Again, very little information was provided by the seller about humidity levels. However, in general, cannabis plants prefer a humidity of 65%-70% as seedlings, lowering to below 60% two weeks before flowering to avoid bud rot.
