A Mysterious, Mood-Lifting Marijuana Madam

Bud Basics

Hailing from the green and fertile coastal climates of Humboldt County in California, Humboldt Feminized is a 50/50 Indica-Sativa hybrid with a mysterious lineage and plenty of allure.

Some say that the spiciness in her fragrance must link her to Afghani Indica descent, but sometimes not knowing is part of the fun. Either way, her floral sweet scent underpinned by fruity orange notes and a hashy aroma make for a sensual ravishment both on inhaling her creamy smoke and tasting her citrus flavors.

Sophisticated both in flavor and effect, Humboldt’s buds contain powerfully relaxing properties that tingle and buzz through the head and body until your mind dances with delight and the pleasant euphoria she induces - Haze-like as she lifts you up and eases the body and soul, beautifully balancing her Indica and Sativa sides.

Rare and potent, the pain-relieving properties and psychologically soothing effects of Humboldt Fem are highly coveted, her terpene profile making for a perfect analgesic and anxiolytic strain for battling the symptoms of stress, depression, anxiety, chronic pain, arthritis and more.

Since she’s a hard to find specimen, feminized seeds are a great option for growers who wish to utilize her many recreational and medicinal skills, and though she requires a little hard work, Humboldt Feminized is worth every ounce of the care and attention you pay her - literally. Her chunky buds are an apt reward for 6 to 8 weeks of pruning and trimming, and it’ll seem like no time at all before you’re harvesting a healthy 500 to 550 grams.

Flavor and Fragrance of Humboldt Feminized

Distinct and recognizable, Humboldt Feminized has a floral, herbal scent that’s enticingly sweet and fresh. Nuanced with notes of orange and a spicy hash-like aroma, breaking apart the nugs of this strain will quickly have your mouth watering in anticipation.

As for flavor, her floral and citrus notes carry through to her smoke, and upon taking a toke you’ll find your tongue coated in a creamy, delicious smoke.

Effects

Not the fastest-acting strain, but fast enough, Humboldt Fem carries as much as 25% THC levels and as such, within a few minutes of lighting up you’ll begin to feel her psychoactive high taking effect.

The Sativa influence will kick in first, tingling and buzzing the face and head, slowly spreading through the body to deliver a pleasant euphoric feeling all over. Mood-boosting and upbeat, Humboldt is also a choice strain for increasing concentration, and can liven up any social gathering.

Once this gal’s Indica effects emerge, a fizzy relaxation will spread through your limbs to smooth and soothe those aching muscles, lifting you up and out of fatigue. Probably a strain best confined to after work, you’ll find that though she’s not couchlocking, you might be lacking in motivation to get up and move about.

Those high THC levels don’t come without a price, and keeping an eye on your dosage is key with Humboldt Fem, if you wish to avoid increased anxiety and paranoia. If you take good care whilst smoking, her side effects are mild, and with luck should be limited only to dry eyes and mouth, and maybe some dizziness.

Medical Uses of Humboldt Feminized

Already a potent recreational strain, Humboldt Fem boasts a number of therapeutic properties alongside her psychoactive traits, and is capable of alleviating symptoms of a wide range of health concerns.

Both the cannabinoids and terpenes present in this strain have important inherent anxiolytic and antidepressant capabilities, naturally occurring in quantities that make them ideal for the treatment of anxiety, depression and stress without the cumbersome side effects of traditionally prescribed SSRIs. 

Due to Humboldt’s positive, mind-clearing effects, her ability to relieve stress and improve focus makes this a strain that’s particularly beneficial for patients suffering from ADD and ADHD, lifting the mood and removing mental fatigues to calm, soothe and have you gently drifting off to sleep.

For more physical ailments, Humboldt Fem is abundant with analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties that make her a particularly good relaxant for the muscles as well as the mind, easing pain and discomfort from the symptoms of chronic conditions such as migraine, spasticity, arthritis and fibromyalgia.

Growing Humboldt Feminized

Short and bushy, Humboldt Feminized is a hybrid that grows more like an Indica than a Sativa, abundant with lateral branches that require plenty of pruning to maintain airflow and ample light penetration - particularly the broad fan leaves. This is absolutely necessary to make sure she’s not at risk of retaining moisture in her chunky buds, which can lead to molds developing.

This strain is easier to grow indoors, where cultivators can control her environment and ensure optimal conditions for growth are met. Keeping Humboldt’s temperature between 21° and 26°C, and Relative Humidity (RH) levels between 40% and 50% are crucial for her to thrive, and this is far easier to achieve in an indoor setup.

To maximize on space and improve your final yield, indoor growers might want to consider a Sea of Green (SoG) setup of at least four plants, as with 18-20 hours of 600-watt light a day, you’ll find Humboldt Feminized can produce up to 550 grams of high-quality nugs per square meter - and in just 7 to 8 weeks.

If you’re lucky enough to live in conditions similar to her origin county - that is, dry, warm and balmy - then this strain will thrive in an outdoor setup too. In addition to maintaining the conditions outlined above, keep an eye out for powdery mildew attacks, and try to use natural pest control measures if you don’t want to adversely alter the final plant’s terpene profile. With good care and attention though, Humboldt will do nicely outdoors, and yield around 650 grams per plant come harvest time.

Summary

Modern cannabis consumers who prefer their fancy artisan strains will adore this lovely lady’s tasty nugs, because Humboldt Fem is a mystery marijuana madam with a complex flavor profile, Sativa-Indica combo kick, and a whole host of medicinal benefits.

Fruity and spicy simultaneously, this is a strain of nuanced flavors - a gorgeous ganja that beautifully balances the fine line between sweetness, hash and floral notes to coat your tongue in a delicious, creamy smoke.

Starting with her Sativa, a joint of Humboldt Fem will take a few minutes to hit, and she begins with a gentle tingling in the face, the head and then the body, spreading to induce a euphoric bliss that lets the mind soar and the body sink into relaxation.

Effective relief from a variety of chronic pains, this strain has great therapeutic benefits capable of easing a variety of chronic pains from arthritis to spasticity. Humboldt is also blessed with potent anti-depressant and anxiolytic properties due to her excellent cannabinoid and terpene profile, and as such is excellent at easing the symptoms of anxiety, stress, depression and even ADHD, due to her ability to focus even the most scattered of minds.

Growing this hybrid isn’t the easiest task in the world, as care and attention needs to be paid to her environment at all times to ensure she truly thrives - but the yield she’s capable of providing speaks for itself, and with some trimming and some love, she’ll flower in 6 to 8 weeks to leave you with up to 500 grams of tight, forest green buds.
