Seven grams of potent DDA2 buds and a half cup of coconut oil went into the capsules I'll be using as my baseline buzz for a while, at least until I can get some CCO made after the next DDA harvest.
Right now the dose appears to be four. Feeling veeeerrrrryyyyy nice at the moment, and it's been an hour since I took the fourth one and 2 1/2 hours since ingesting the first three. I got 86 capsules out of this batch of oil. That calculates to 21 doses for this level, which feels good, but understand I was over at Pigeon's and his videos always include a hoot or two, so I may need to try again tomorrow. Hahaha! I've polluted the data stream. Lol! I'm thinking five is probably where I'll settle in, but then again, I'll be supplementing liberally with the bong, won't I? Because I can, if for no other reason. Right?
That means I made about ten days worth of baseline meds out of only 7 grams of plant material. Not bad for a day's work and a nice way to spread the harvest out a bit more.
Today I'm trying to determine the difference between DDA2 and DDA3.
On the top we have DDA3, grown in LOS and harvested at Day 61. She weathered a serious mite infestation that I thought would kill her. Instead she gave me the frostiest,M stickiest DDA buds I've grown, solid little pellets of purple goodness so coated with trichomes that she looks grey at first glance. Her smell is totally unique for one of my DDAs. No Berry or light fuel smell at all. She actually smells almost identical to my first and only harvested Carnival. Her punch is incredible, to say the least. Almost no real flavor at this stage, she's a clean and smooth smoke that takes me right into hallucinogenic at about the fifth hit. Unbelievable fun to smoke.
On the bottom, my hempy surprise. Grown ineptly in a half-gallon hempy, this one surprised the hell out of me. I thought for sure this plant was a goner. She weathered not only the mite infestation but my inexperience and intimidation with bottled nutes. I burned her sugar leaves to a crisp there at the end and she came back from all of that to reward me with the most colorful and most flavorful DDA I've grown to date. So deep purple as to appear black.
Until I tested the DDA3 last night I'd pegged DDA2 as the most potent as well. Her cousin exerted her dominance in this regard and hasn't relinquished that title upon a second testing, this time testing one against the other. DDA3 hits harder, deeper, on another level entirely. I'm not imagining this. I can't wait to try DDA4.
You can clearly see, DDA2 is more colorful and appears to be more densely packed. That's an illusion. The buds on DDA3 are solid as can be. Don't let their diminutive size fool you, devious little devil that she is. Lol!
DDA3 is laden with more trichomes. I'm thinking growing multiple plants of the same strain in different mediums and environments and blending the harvests for medicinal purposes might be a good idea. It was nice of the cosmos to train me for this. Well, for recreational purposes too, huh? Recreational has an important place at this bountiful table.
It'll be interesting to see if each plant offers slightly different effects that would make them preferred choices under certain conditions. I already know the DDA3 is more hallucinogenic in effect. Hmmmm...... Starting to think more scientifically. Thank goodness I have enough to get me way past the initial euphoric stage, when I'm so thankful to have it around again that it's all I'll reach for.
I learned some valuable lessons from this multiple plant grow. Variety is desirable, and I feel so blessed to have so many different environments, growing mediums and techniques to draw from. It means I have the potential to produce richer meds with broader profiles. That thought makes my blood zip a little faster.
My desire to want it all has come back to reward me. How cool. Lol!
I learned to let myself explore beyond my comfort zone. This understanding in my garden corresponded with my learning to let go of frustration in my personal life. It's been a spiritual experience for me, but that's me. As I've trained myself to turn away from frustration and grab whatever happy thought I could at the moment, wonderful things began to happen in my life, not the least of which was my DDA2 harvest.
Letting myself try hempy has opened a whole new world up for me and brought me new friends. Gosh, who'd have thought?
What a delightful, obsessive hobby we have, eh?
It would be on a small container (1 gal?), is it worth it?
) Such a great looking plant Sweet Sue an ounce is a welcomed harvest no doubt!
lets puff ...
