DD: seedling roots day 10

She seems to be thriving despite my care. I’ve given her a couple of little waterings of a tbsp or so trickled round the edge. I'll be a happier donkey when she is a bit more robust. Can’t wait to reward her good work with some punishment.
Whaddaya reckon @Ganjagrandaddy now that her solar panels have opened up some square meterage she’ll be flowering in no time. While that stem looks like it could take a bit of weight I’ve gotta say I’m underwhelmed with the terps off the stem rubbing. She only smells of manky donkey hoof at the moment.

What else in the Stable?
The oil I made last week is kicking this ass’s pita :nerd-with-glasses:
The EVOO is great to take a couple at a time every 2 or 3 hrs at work because they only give pain relief, there’s no head on it.
I made some caps with the coconut infusion today and as well as slight pain reduction it was also like having had a puff. I’ll see how I go, but I may be on my way to some work/life balance. While it lasts. The pain, I mean.

Out of the ounce I decarb’ed for the oil I found I’d cooked a dozen seeds! :slide:I used Isabelle Blue and was intending to have run her out now. Me and @Sugarleaf were just enjoying a joint of her the other day and kind of regretting letting her go.
So we’ve been careful to check as we mull more of her and :yahoo:found a couple of nice looking new ones this week. We have a few more ounces to get through so there is bound to be more to play with later.
Yay for boy bits, I say. Didn’t even see them. Best kind ;)
 
Surprise bonus! Good (unintentional) work DD :thumb:.

Congrats on the hard hitting oil and the roots on the little one. It's nice to be able to see what's happening down under.

I'm sure you know but for those who don't, infused oil made with coconut oil will get you high faster than EVOO because of the way coconut oil gets processed first by the liver.

Wow DD. she has been as busy as you by the sound of it mate. lol
Looks grand and those roots filling the cup up nicely too. great job. not sure why it isnt oozing thc yet , might have to go back to the drawing board .lol
Oil and caps sounds like it will help you "normalize " your routines again and cost while the quacks get their act together.
Like the sound of making oils and stuff. Recently spoke to my older sister who had decided to keep her breast cancer and subsequent removals of a lot of tissue !!!. . I now wish to look into this side of my growing and see hownit can help . oddly she would struggle to take any canna cure through misinformed fear of the negatives ( which are ??????). Sounds like you have a good angle on it mate. nice job.
Brilliant that you have some of your Isabella seeds to keep them going too. I am curious to see how the cbd girls help you too. Never thought I would ever venture towards the health side of my loved hobby.
Hearing a kiwi shouting Yay for boy bits sounds like a Chris Lilley character. Assuming you have seen him and Jonah from Tonga.?. I am hoping he is not a rampant racist as I sadly love his humour and characters .
great update DD , good to see you active again , hope your feeling more positive of a good outcome now your quack had been outed as bad. Green days bud.

Your knowledge on this subject is revered here shed. I intend heading a little this way if I can sell it to mrs GG . Oddly no issues with my lifelong smoking habit but would get nervous about making oils and gummies.lol. May be searching you out for advice at some point mate. have a good one

That’s Harry Anslinger’s fault that is. Chasing The Scream by Johann Hari should be compulsory reading in schools worldwide.

I’m trying to teach my lorikeet to say ‘I’m a racist!’ She is an Australian species. Racism isn’t funny, but my scaly breasted lorikeet is. I’m sure you don’t have to be racist to be Australian, but they do very well in track and field events. She was a rescue bird. I explain to her that she is much better looked after here than a donkey would be in her own country. She hasn’t a clue what I‘m talking about.

You speak in riddles Dd. hahaha love it mate. Them Aussies were sent from our shores when their crooked descendants showed themselves, we had to send honest folk to watch them as they tended to eat soil a lot but those " keepers" got bored and did unmentionable stuff with the savages they had been sent to keep. Modern Australia was born . heehee. Now the cheeky sods wont let us lighten the gene pool by emigrating there without some serious goop jumping and begging. We still have to put up with " neighbours" and "home and away" though !!!.

DD: cola, day 3 drying

Hello 420ville

Welcome to my

Stable Of Impermanence​

All contributions - from the most pointy headed botanical science, to jokes about my nom de net or anything else for that matter - are openly invited and warmly welcomed.

I especially want anyone to chime in who shares the multiple frustrations of trying to use cannabis as medicine in a climate of political prohibition.

View media item 1708534
I had a not-too-shabby first round and got a dozen or so ounces out of our 3’x3’x5.5’ jungle room under 400w HPS.

The garden is still recovering having been shut down for security reasons. There were days of sub 0*C, and I was only able to look in on them once in three weeks - and I wished I didn’t.

Change is the only constant here in the Stable of Impermanence. I am changing five bagseed beauties and five of their clones back into healthy plants.

Some things change, some stay the same. Here’s the fifth in a series of five. Collect them all..

420

420

It’s - still - still always 420 somewhere

And it’s always 420 right here and we’re loving it!

I learned a lot on our first run. My goal now is to replicate that as best I can while learning other new things this time.

While I am opening the stable doors on another blooming garden I will be looking at it through the lens of ‘how can I make this medicine more effective for me?’

Don’t worry I’m not going to bore you with my problems I am not that kind of donkey. All signs, symptoms, etc - hopefully even a diagnosis one day - will be discussed either in the context of cannabis as medicine, or while vaping my own body weight.

Enough braying!

I infused another batch of oil the other day..

24 hrs in fridge before use to ‘set’ the chemical processes of the lecithin.

You see I put 1/3c in and got 1/4c out. Next time I’ll press the filter between some pieces of metal in a G clamp to go for that bit more.

I can’t get Shed and Old Bear’s spreadsheet to work on our crappy laptop. I tried a couple of free apps too, neither worked. As best I can figure the working out, the numbers go like this:

I’m starting with a guess. I have triangulated my perception of the potency of our bagseed Isabelles against Black Domina and S.A.G.E. and Sour and I’m starting by guessing our girls have 20% THC. It isn’t modest, but nor is Isabelle.

10g->8.8g-0.7g=8.1g @20% THC
1/3c~85ml @85% efficiency

20% of 8.1g=1.62g THC total
1.62x0.85 (efficiency) =1.4g
1.4gx85ml=0.0165
=16.5mg/ml
=8.25mg/capsule

Thanks for coming, folks!

If you’re freezing it, it must be fresh-ish?
Exploding trichomes would account for a little lowered potency by the time it’s wrangled into a rizla. I think the real culprit may be uncured chlorophyll. That and other non-medicinal combustibles.

I’m liking the results of the low and slow dry and the jar cure. One day jars will last long enough to really impress me.

I made another couple of batches of the infusion last week. One with EVOO (extra virgin olive oil) and one with the same, but coconut oil which is solid at room temperature and different to work with. Both are good for pain. The coconut one gives a slight buzz too which is nice.

the bud i froze were dried/cured, it were just an experiment a long time ago, it may have been in fact just the type of weed cos at that time many different strains were coming through the door? anyway your methods there look like they are working well, press on ye Cannabis Soldier!

Dunnit. Hoping this time they find my fish bone/tapeworm/evil twin.

The radiation was kind of intense, a bit like being in a microwave. In fact, afterwards I realised while @Sugarleaf was nodding toward something she wanted me to do I realised I could understand a woman! It’s marvellous. It’s like a super power. I tried to explain it to her, but she hadn’t a clue what I was on about. I don’t know what other powers I have developed, but I’m wearing my undies on the outside until things become clear.

I watered/fed the girls last night.

270E3A97-821D-47BA-95A2-9C2977C6E4BD.jpeg

As I mixed bat poo, cal mag, fish guts, superthrive, N boost.. I thought - not for the first time - how fed up I am with intuiting what they need and when. You see it across these journals - people either know what they are doing or are flapping around making stuff up and hoping for the best.

So I bit the bullet and jumped on the megacrop train. I decided to try buying it while we were driving up the coast yesterday. In and out of coverage as PayPal were trying to validate my account/reset passwords, etc. so the phone ran out before anything happened. Finished up last night after a recharge. With good coverage I got it done. So the 10kg bags which are $8 on the zon (they don’t ship to nz) ended up costing a small fortune. More than a couple of hundred bucks. It should last years though, and be the equivalent of a hundred or more of the $30/litre nutes I’ve been using. Looking forward to the new regime!

The photos above - In my first/last couple of grows I haven’t managed to get Isabelle Purple looking right at all. Her leaves have been yellow, brown edged and crappy looking. I didn’t mind running her out for this reason. We have no clones for continuity. So I’ve obviously learned a thing or two because there is one each of her in the back corners of the top picture and her leaves look great!

The bottom picture shows how nice the new growth is above the line of yuck I had before stretch. Something about rising above stuff. . . it’s probably a metaphor of some kind.

Gotta love gardening.
:yummy: :peace::cool:
Good days, good people.

This post had my face doing this :( :laughtwo::green_heart::laughtwo::(:snowboating::Namaste:I hope they get ya figured out quick but in the meantime enjoy your superpowers! I think you’re gonna love the MegaCrop, I joined as well tired of hoping I was mixing all the chems correctly and now there’s no more guessing just watching and mixing is simple. My girls have never had such a beautiful flawless green to them! Feel better soon.
 
What candycane said! I hope the superpowers keep coming :thumb:
 
Dayum . superpowers will come in handy with the Hulk DD. lol
let's hope they figure it out asap now. hopefully a better doctor too.
loving your gardening work and meds activity. good on you. Welcome to the club mega crop mate. great stuff and easy to use but stinks like a baboons ass.lol. no ph worries , definitely works wonders and mixes so easily. it is shocking how little you need. Some absolute pros on the stuff on here too. farside05, IntheShed, Mr Sauga to name a couple . Farside is doing great things with adding cal mag and silica too. It is fine on it's own as we get V3 which addresses a few of the v1 issues with lack of a few basics. The megacrop thread is food to look around too. a lot of pages now but initial pages are excellent.
catch you again soon brother. healing vibes your way mate
