Just a quick update on the medical side of things in relation to cannabis:
School is starting soon and every year there's a cookout leading up to that. For the second year my son and I went to that. Last year he would maybe dream of talking to someone but wouldn't dare. This year, with a slight nudge, he left me and went to speak with a couple of people on his own. He even went to say "hi"/speak with his friend while his friend was speaking with someone else. None of that may seem like a big deal but it is for him. The cannabis and a lot of hard work by several people has gone into this. A speaker/coach at the little before-school-starts shindig spoke, mainly to athletes, about alcohol and drugs and mentioned "marijuana" specifically. I found myself cringing slightly and hoping for a day when that speaker would differentiate with the kids between medical and recreational use, but I digress a bit. He does get positive points for working in a quote from Nick Saban. I had to resist the urge to shout "Roll Tide". Haha! 11 days until kickoff. 4 days until the first game of the season. Talk about digression!
A few members of his school "team" met today and discussed plans and logistics for starting the year off right. We've been very open with his use of cannabis and all agreed it has helped him and they could notice a difference since he began taking it. We even discussed the staff working with him to help him be more comfortable with it and perhaps get him interested in the horticulture part of it as we'd all like him to be able to grow his own medicine some day and want him comfortable with taking it now. They may not be able to discuss cultivating cannabis per se but general growing is a go. We are fortunate to have such a supportive school staff.
I have to take him to the dentist later today and then I'll try to spray the girls with neem/safer soap and BT then water with BT again. We're going for a twice a week schedule with that as it works great with my schedule. I bought 1 gal garden sprayers to use, which should be much better than spray bottles. Also ordered some more BT.
The new tent, light, and filters (and other odds and ends) are on their way. Our infestation convinced me to keep the present carbon filter in place and just add a second to the bloom tent. I'll move the intake fan there and add a second passive intake filter to the veg tent, which will still house the environmental equipment and then the filtered air will go to the bloom tent. We aren't set up yet to heat/cool the entire garage. That will be unavoidable at some point and will reduce the need for in-tent equipment. I'm waiting on the worm castings to be able to mix more soil. I am going to be an even busier than normal man soon.
Hope you are having a good day. If not, make the best of it. Peace.
