Bud origin

There’s much confusion around the origin of this rare strain of California weed seeds. Some think Doug’s Varin seeds are a cross of Harlequin and a Thai landrace, but uncertainty abounds with this high-THC sativa cultivar. 

Some factions claim Harlequin was a case of mistaken identity, others that it was a happy accident or a total mystery. Some think it’s mostly sativa with a hint of indica heritage.

We know the Doug’s Varin name references the breeder and unusually high levels of tetrahydrocannabivarin (THCV). 

Growing Doug’s Varin feminized seeds

Doug’s Varin strain seeds are moderately easy to grow, but some experience helps to maximize outputs. Cultivate these scarce cannabis seeds indoors, outside, or in a greenhouse. These are female seeds fertilized by female pollen and only contain feminized genes.

You don’t need to worry about sexing your plants when they mature. You already know they’ll be female and can concentrate on giving them a perfect environment. Ensure the plants get the best nutrients so they’re ready when flowering commences.

What climate do these seeds prefer?

For germination, cannabis seeds prefer high temperatures and high relative humidity (RH). We suggest you use the tried-and-trusted paper towel method for the best results. 

You need:

• Two dinner plates

• Two paper towels

• Tweezers

• Bottled water

• Doug’s Varin strain seeds

Make one paper towel damp and lay it down on a dinner plate. Use the tweezers to place the seeds on the paper towel with an inch of space between them. Make the second paper towel damp and drape it over the seeds, covering them. Flip the second plate and enclose the seeds.

Leave the medium in a warm, accessible, dark place. Check them regularly and transplant into the final substrate once a tiny white tap root emerges. It should take less than five days. 

Allow the seedlings to strengthen before you administer nutrients. You could burn or even kill them with overzealous feeding.

As the growing process progresses, drop the temperature slightly and lower the humidity to about 50% by flowering time. 

Use a screen to weave the shoots through to create an even canopy and improve light coverage. Trim the popcorn buds on the lower sections to focus on development.

Most cannabis plants thrive in Mediterranean or continental climates. They grow explosively in sunny, warm, dry conditions with healthy soil. Find a spot that’s out of the wind with long hours of direct sunlight. 

Indoors, keep the temperature between 65–80⁰F. Progressively reduce RH to about 50% by flowering. Plants grown with Doug’s Varin seeds have a high resistance to mold, so you’re unlikely to have problems unless you inhabit a muggy location.

Employ low-stress training (LST) techniques like trimming, pruning, Screen of Green (ScrOG), or even topping.

Outside, pick a spot with at least six hours of direct sunlight and excellent drainage. Outdoor flora often reach even taller with sativa strains, stretching to over seven feet tall in optimal circumstances.

Feeding Doug’s Varin feminized seeds

We don’t recommend adding nutrients until the plants get through the sensitive seedling stage. They receive sufficient vitamins and minerals from the substrate. Begin supplemental feeding only when they’re 3–4 weeks old.

Indoor farmers improve the environment for their plants by extending daylight hours to boost growth. Most implement an 18 hours on, 6 hours off, or 20 hours on, 4 hours off schedule. Doug’s Varin strain seeds can reach five feet tall, so ensure you have sufficient space.

In the vegetative phase, marijuana needs higher volumes of nitrogen (N). It’s a vital ingredient in the production of chlorophyll and amino acids. The NPK ratio during the vegetative stage should be about 3:1:1.

Crops need phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) in heavier volumes when the flowering stage occurs. Change the lighting schedule to 12 hours on and 12 off to induce the bloom.

Switch the NPK ratio to 1:3:2 for the initial stage and mid-bloom. In the last month, eliminate the nitrogen with a 0:3:3 ratio that boosts flower production and quality. 

Add trace elements and micronutrients throughout the life cycle to maximize your yield.

Flowering & yields

It takes 10–12 weeks for plants grown with Doug’s Varin feminized seeds to complete the flowering stage. Indoors, you could reap an impressive 17–21 oz./m² in optimum conditions. 

Keep an eye on the sparkling trichomes at the start of October outdoors. When over 50% have changed from clear to milky, it’s the best time to harvest for high THC buds. They’re glittering in mid-to-late October when growers can garner up to 16 ounces per plant.

Remember to rinse your crop by halting feeding for the final fortnight. Use only fresh water as it improves flavor by “washing out” the chemical tang.

Experiencing Doug’s Varin strain

The high-THC cannabis strain offers 22–24% of this psychoactive ingredient. It’s also fast-acting and has elevated THCV values with intriguing effects. The varied cannabinoid combination provides a heavy-hitting and long-lasting reaction. CBD is negligible.

It makes you motivated, inspired, and creative, so artists, musicians, and writers rave about it. They love the focus and enjoy the endurance it provides. Many use this as a wake-and-bake strain as it adjusts mood and motivates for the day or tasks ahead.

There’s no chance of couch lock with this typical sativa strain, offering a euphoric energy rush. It may even quieten panic attacks. 

Doug’s Varin strain seeds are unique in their appetite suppression quality. High levels of tetrahydrocannabivarin are likely the cause, earning it the nickname “diet weed.” It also has energy-boosting qualities.

Aroma and flavor

This strain has an incredible terpene profile that bursts with aroma and flavor. The smell increases in potency as the harvest looms, with earthy, wooden flavors mixing with sweet citrus. There are also savory and spicy notes.

The taste of weed grown with Doug’s Varin seeds maintains the citrus and adds earthy tones on the inhale. The exhale offers a herbal boost that many think connects to appetite suppression. 

Helps with

Most cannabis causes the munchies at some point, but Doug’s Varin seeds are different. They grow cannabis flowers with a psychoactive ingredient (THCV) that reportedly suppresses appetite. These buds give you anti-munchies and suit dieting tokers.

The energizing and uplifting effect is excellent for potentially combating fatigue. It could also improve mood and focus, which some claim calms symptoms of stress or anxiety.
