Boax
Boax
Also known as: BOAX CBD, BOAX CBD Hemp, BaOx
Overview
Boax is a rare evenly balanced hybrid strain (50% indica/50% sativa) created through crossing the Hindu Kush X Otto II strains. The birthplace of Boax CBD strain is Colorado Springs, where breeders recognized a substantial demand for pot that offers all the beneficial effects without altering the user's mental state. The lineage of Boax traces back to a deliberate genetic cross between Hindu Kush and Otto II, two strains with distinct yet complementary characteristics. The Hindu Kush, an ancient and robust landrace strain originating from the mountainous regions between Afghanistan and Pakistan, is revered for its indica-dominant traits. Otto II, the second parent of the Boax CBD flower, is a sativa-indica hybrid native to Colorado. Its name encodes the unique chemistry of this hemp, reading as Otto One to One. The ratio of the two main cannabinoids, THC and CBD, is 1 to 1, approximately 8% each.
Physically, BOAX buds have airy grape-shaped olive green nugs with thin amber hairs and a coating of tiny milky amber crystal trichomes. BaOx hemp seeds produce consistent results across generations thanks to its inbred Hindu Kush lineage. The back-crossed Hindu Kush gives BaOx its short, bushy stature, which makes it ideal for indoor cultivation facilities. Infamous for its super high CBD level and almost non-existent THC level, BOAX packs a high that is incredibly mellow in nature, perfect for those looking for a medicinal with all of the extra added effects. With these mellow effects and its super high 18-20% average CBD level and 0-1% THC level, BOAX is often chosen to treat those suffering from conditions such as mood swings, depression, chronic pain, inflammation, spasticity, seizures, muscle spasms or cramps and migraines or headaches.

Growing Information
Boax is considered an easy-to-grow strain suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation. BaOx can be cultivated indoors and outdoors (Where the plants will need a flowering time of ±74 days), though the breeder calls this a fast grower so it likely flowers in 56 to 63 days. Boax thrives in regions with a Mediterranean climate, characterized by warm, sunny days and cool nights. Ideal temperatures range from 70°F to 85°F during the growing season. While it is tolerant of moderate humidity levels, maintaining a relative humidity between 40% and 50% during flowering is crucial to prevent mold and mildew. Many outdoor farmers also prefer this strain thanks to its durability against strong or variable weather conditions. BaOx grows well in both hot and cold climates thanks to its Hindu Kush genetics. Flowers are often small due to the speed at which the Otto II grows and stretches. However, thanks to the strain's lavish production of mushroom-shaped trichomes, small buds do not translate to a low yield.
