DD Stable Of Impermanence

[Ganjagrandaddy]

Helpful people round here.


Thank you for your encouraging words on the garden.
As for the other. Because you brought it up. I have, for thirty years now, practiced Vipassana meditation. It is free both of dogma and to attend. I’ve done five of their ten day retreats and numerous shorter ones. I can not recommend this highly enough. No mumbo jumbo, just a deliberate and maddeningly simple technique.
I have lately been using this again and feel it must help, if only briefly, posturally
Thanks for shiving a git (or something).

1. thinks. Thinks, min. (Can’t talk, smiling).
2. Applying now for disability wossnames, fa’ crikey.
3. Goes right to the core of you somehow, doesn’t it? Damn!

Hoi since I’ve got youse here, here’s a Hulklato clone just dropped out of the quantum flux of schrodinger’s humidity dome this morning.
Hello Hulklato 1.2.2

Hee-haw.

Woo how on the new roots.... Being of Maori blood must be a help with the connection to spiritual realms and the awakening too. Tried desperately to meditate and guided journey for a few years during my shamanism period bit founf the concentration too hard !!! I have since realised so much !!!. Any thoughts can be considered meditation if done from within during still time. All good for the soul bro

I'll raise a bottle of fine maple syrup to that epic battle

I say old boy , would you mind awfully if i interjected to offer my own participation in this Gentlemans wager ? , I don't want to appear too crass in assuming it is not a closed event ? Sorry to disturb you with my impertinent interruption. What what!

Very nice harvest Donkey

Thanks for keeping an eye out, Penny.

Just swinging through for catchup, looking super sweet Double D. That dark Hulklato picture is killer brother. Loving the garden.

Looking good DD!

Good to see you, flyguy. It’s been a while. I trust that all is fair in your air?

You've got roots, the cycle continues. Mighty impressive DD tasty looking.

Say what you like there is nothing wrong with roots, right?
Cheers D1

Hey DD, been way behind lately due to real life but things are looking good Hope that you are feeling better this week and the Drs can get you sorted mate.

Real life can be so intrusive!
Thanks for popping by. I’m not expecting any of my ‘practicing’ doctor’s to get better soon. I am on the threshold of a more productive time with the home made canna meds. I’m pretty much relying on my garden for any help now. I’ll be filling and dosing on a few more capsules today.
I’ll be giving all of your GA3 notes a very close rereading soon (I hope! 3 weeks on the courier and counting..). I’m hoping that with careful measurements (which I think I remember you journaling) I hope not to have to buy a ppm tester. Yes, that’s a lot of hope invested in the gibberish.

An alive, temporary skint Donkey w

Chur meke.

What? What’s this? I’m pale like you, cracker. We have three national languages here. English, Te Reo Māori, and New Zealand Sign Language.
I can’t show you what I’m saying right now
You don’t gotta be efnik to have a bit of the wairua.
My fault for misleading you old chap. I happen to sprechen sie merde across borders.
It’s all about..

Of course, I'm all about inclusion

Whoops, there we go!

I hope you’re all having as nice a day as you can.

Any luck finding that Jamaican strain? I hope today is a good day, Double D.

 

[Stunger]

After the limited success of the ‘aqua’lato’ we are aiming for more of that good rosin. @Stunger ( Kiaora Koro) had the same experience as us: you rub it on some things and straight away you wonder if it ever hurt. It is remarkable. It doesn’t touch deeper pains, but for some things it is quite unbelievable.
More research required.

That's true DD. In fact the whole plant is just unbelievable. I hope the latest polls on our referendum here in NZ are shining a light to a future that will embrace this for so many people's benefit.

I am stoked to be running something so close to both the blueberry (an old fave) and jack herer (a possible new fave - the cinderella comes from the princess pheno of a herer cut). Thanks again, Joe. Looks like she’ll make it.
Now, after sixteen days hanging the final weight is in for Isabelle Red. We got over 18.1 ounces from this plant! From her (my) first harvest at the end of July last year til finishing now with a modest 1.3.

Wow that is stonking! Well fecking done! And some lovely closeups you've taken of the trichomes looking so frosty and tasty.

 

[Amy Gardner]

That confused me.
Not least because of this exchange: “so, you don’t know why it hurts?”
“No.”
“But it will never not hurt?”
“Correct.”
(I mean ffs wake me up! Does that sound like a clinician to you?)

unfortunately too many stories like this so yes, it does sound like a moderndocotr who think they are a physician but isn’t!

head is still spinning a bit, that’s all.

That’s a super stressful situation. You’d be everytime wondering if somewhere they are still basing their advice to you on someone else’s experience and chart info.
We had that happen when my mum was in hospital last year - really severe pneumonia and collapsing etc. and a 20 minute conversation/argument btw my sister nad the treating doc who was trying to give a medication she cant have. My sis is a nurse and was holding her ground and suggested he was looking at the wrong s=chart and he laughed at her - ‘don’t be ridiculous!’ - and it turned out that’s exactly what was going on. He could’ve killed her - and he was really rude about it afterwards as well. It’s such a factory, mainstream modern medicine.

I have friends that do vipassna fairly regularly. They‘ve been really missing it of late - with no retreats available. I havent been able to go because I cant easily travel away and they are not set up to cater for someone w disability - I’d need chair access and to lie down for meditations, not sit, so they aren’t really into me going there and unfortunately don’t offer ‘remote’ guidance. I’m left to my own devices and do ok some of the time. My body has trouble being still tho - an irony when you have severe fatigue LOL! But on that note, and to swing this right back to on-topic, I recently read that one of the many wonderfull effects of THC is to induce something which in mediCal terms is called “catalepsy”. It basically means the state of being at comfort while still, or something like that. I think we call it couchlock! It was just really great to read it and understand medically that my condition benefits from the catalepsy-inducing effects of THC

Really great to see you, by the way. Nice to see you walking again after your last harvest
So we have two more hulklato in flower and four more in veg. Possibly five if the last cube is rooting this morning (I said rooting). That’s already as many or more iterations as we had of Isabelle Red in a year!.
I think we can do better than 18.

The skies are friendly, friend

Nice to know.

Any luck finding that Jamaican strain? I hope today is a good day, Double D.

None yet. To be fair I’ve been somewhat preoccupied. The search for black swan continues - and/or any cannabis strain high in Caflanone.
I haven’t a clue where to look. Anyone?

That's true DD. In fact the whole plant is just unbelievable. I hope the latest polls on our referendum here in NZ are shining a light to a future that will embrace this for so many people's benefit.


Wow that is stonking! Well fecking done! And some lovely closeups you've taken of the trichomes looking so frosty and tasty.

I was amazed to read that herald article you sent. Marginal is fine so long as it gets across the line.
I have a feeling we are going to see some ratbag prohibitionists pulling out all the stops.
You know serco who run our private prisons already have pass cards to the beehive as lobbyists. We will possibly never know what their spend on social influencing will be.
Victimless crimes are very good for bums on beds, aka shareholder returns.
Fingers crossed if you’ve got ‘em!

Favourite human status attained. Thanks for your understanding it has been frankly ghastly. Your vignette is very telling of a system that is not put together properly. Your sister saved a life from a doctor and he didn’t even say thanks. They think they’re something else, these people (which of course they are, just not like they think). They learn their bedside manner in the morgue. And stop learning as soon as they see that certificate.
It’s the same all over. The less you do, the more you are paid. It’s criminal! Look at covid. Who is keeping things working around the world while the fat cats stay safe? Minimum wage earners mostly.
I’d love to stop whinging and actually do something to dismantle the military industrial complex. Where to begin?
Probably not with vipassana, even though it might not hurt. (Why am I unsurprised you have put your attention across this already?) I feel sure there must be a centre somewhere in the world where they can accommodate you, that isn’t the point though. We’re all about inclusion round here (apparently ). I think every centre should be accessible because that is the point. Failing that I’ve hosted some self courses for old students. Tapes of discourses and instruction are available. Maybe suggest it to some of your friends who are missing their sits that you can host them? It’s kind of fudging it, but with a day or two of anapana you’d be away.
And to bring it back on topic you’d have lots of garden helpers. They can sleep marae style. They like it rough.

Catalepsy this reminds me our girl who was having three fits a week at the end of March hasn’t had a seizure in almost three months now since starting on cbd.

That looks awesome, Joe! Only the first one loaded for me and I don’t want to lose this multiquote by tapping reload just yet so I’ll go back for a look. They are some nice roots though. That’s about the same time it’s taking mine too. I’m a little disappointed not to get the same success with the peat plug that I do with the rock wool. I would prefer a more soilish medium, but hey. If the plants love it let’s take that win!

Hey @DonkeyDick , when you are ready to reverse a female, send me a PM If you have questions. I generally check in daily, even if I don’t have time to keep up with journals, and answer PMs

Still in one of the worlds most important and spiritual places to do it D. Enough energy flying around to grab you some on your journey. Going back to catch the harvest. Missed that one?. Hate trying to catch up lol.

 

[Rosti]

Helpful people round here.


As for the other. Because you brought it up. I have, for thirty years now, practiced Vipassana meditation. It is free both of dogma and to attend.

In the spirit of talking meditation, I believe there’s a lot of benefits to meditating. I have been practicing Bunkai No Mind meditation with chi breathing ever since I got into martial arts. It’s one of the most relaxing self grounding activities I could possibly do.. at first I hated meditating before and after classes lol it quickly became an addiction though. I started doing it every day because I rose up feeling so relaxed and focused it was unbelievable how clear my mind was and made it very easy to concentrate... so much more calm and disciplined as well. When I was really into it I could spend hours at a time meditating... don’t get too much time to do this anymore although I wish I did.
Sorry to hear about your health issues, I hope you get to feeling better.

That CPK looks like some fire

Have to agree on the health vare. I have had a few rants here about poor health care here too. Hate all this heroic bullshit too while they play the govts game on ovid19 and are laughing at the public now. So many stories here of dreadful treatment of anyone trying g to use hospitals for normal health care. Always been crap but the media constantly tell us how lucky we are that a consultant will waste £100000 on talking crap that cures nothing ever but does earn them a lot of money. You then get passed to underlings for treatment who are usually too busy to give a shit. Having seen 8 births during my parenting has also shown huge shortfalls in care . Last born very nearly didn't make it as they wouldn't check her after hours of wife saying her movements had stopped.we had a 5 day labour in the hospital and she was taken in due to severe bleeding initially!!! Thankfully a shift change and new nurse saved her from dying with the chord round her neck so tight sh was fighting for life and giving up. Even writing that has me in floods now of how close it was due to shit health care professionals and they threw me out on a regular basis as men can't go on the wards !!!! They expected me to drive home after 5 nights of no sleep to return 5 hours later to collect my wife and daughter. How safe would we have been ?. Never been treated so badly in my life and had some blazing rows with the managers over this stupidity. Over 35 years I can honestly say not once did we leave happy with their vaee of us or our newborns. Didn't even do any checks on the baby before the last one but needed the beds so sent us home !!. Sadly if you asked most folks to be totally honest , health care is shit and about ego's and status. Not all nurses are angels and sadly take their career frustrations out on patients with impunity. Reading your exp over time also shows a whole raft of incompetent career chimps. I think all the recent stuff is a major whistle-blower on how useless their experts can be and how politicised it has become. Paid here now for each ovid-19 death diagnosis has driven them mad and will be used as a weapon against them by our sick tory govt to dismantle the NHS with public support. Such a set up but the sheeple will buy it and lap up the closures as revenge for betraying them during the scamdemic. ( after blaming bad care staff for the deaths 1st). I haven't trusted them for decades and won't let them jab my kids , u still get reg calls trying to debate it and now the new crisis has hit , I had to tell her to stop assuming my choice was because of facebook posts when they called to "remind me " our 5 year old hasn't had her pre school jabs still !!! She didn't want to leave it alone and tried to calm my fears on bad information going g around about vaccinations lol. Been an anti vaxxer for past 6 years after a lot of research but they have lost their £1.20 ( official award from govt to surgery for each vax they give and get penalised financially if not enough are given!) so need to recoup their funds or face negative consequences in funding streams. I more than got my point across about my choices and why. I expect they will try to enforce them soon or threaten no schooling but she is an amazing girl who is already able to read and write properly at a level in front of her peers so we will continue home schooling if need be. Sorry for the rant but wabted to showbits the same here buddy. We do better ourselves if we can find the issue. These quacks need re-education and some humility lessons. Hope you can get a handle on it soon mate

Good morning DD! While I dont have lots experience growing MJ I've been using rockwool for a bit now and have a few tricks. First....never squeeze the cube, the tiny pores within become crushed easily making more difficult for the roots to pop through. To remove excess water, hold the cube, and give it a little swing, the excess water will fly off. Bottom water using a syringe after first dunking.
I noticed you use a tray similar to what I use sometimes....drop a few hydroton pebbles under each cube, itll keep it from sitting in liquids and give a space for the roots to pop out in your nutes.
Hope this helps, and that I didn't misread things, time for some more coffee for me

Good stuff guys thanks for weighing in.
Of course I’m not squeezing the rockwool I totally conflated that - it’s the peat pucks that get squeezed. I’m glad you noticed that Rexer.
It occurs to me that some of the things we do are a bit automatic. It has to be this way. That’s why - when learning new techniques - it’s important to learn good habits. It is a truism that it is easier to learn a good habit than it is to unlearn a bad one.
Anyone trying to clone a cut will do well to keep a few things dead simple and you guys are dead right.
Clones are the only thing that has kept this leaky boat afloat. So I started out ok, then by the time my cloning had gone from ok to average I took my foot off the gas.
I got very sick in December, worse than now. Worse than I let on. Part of my shift to mega crop was just that (I was no longer well enough to look at a plant and wonder what its damn problem was I had enough of my own).
By this time I had changed my veg light schedule to 16/8. And then forgot.
For the next few months I threw an excess of cuts into cups of soil and had enough pull through that we are still here. I wasn’t even using new soil.
It wasn’t til I could catch my breath and have a look at my variables that I even noticed how bad I’d let it get.
I was using a blunt and dirty blade for a start. Am I the only gardener anywhere who can’t find razor blades to buy? They used to be everywhere. Men (get this) used to shaaave (I know) their faces (right?) and you could buy these anywhere. Not so now.
Sterile and sharp surgical blades are important.
I was dunking stems in my cloning gel. Not now. This stays sterile too.
Overwatering is almost too easy that you don’t notice you’re doing it. Set and forget. Hands in pockets.
I came across a discussion in a podcast where results were in on some research around cloning.
As a result I am no longer shortening the leaves, I am removing them. This gives the cutting one instead of five wounds to heal at each leaf site.
They found their highest survival rates on cuttings with only one, two or three leaves.
They found no correlation between the site of the cutting’s removal (ie, upper or lower) and the vigour of the cutting.
So a few pointers, a few reminders. I’ve linked to the podcast I’m talking about a few times. I can find it again if anyone wants.
I also had it cold. Too cold. It’s ridiculous how cold it is here sometimes. (This last night was so cold it was painful. There better be some snow somewhere today).
So I started to pull some of this together again. I was even using new soil in cups again. I was still using a crappy old blade, but sometimes I’d remember to wipe it with alcohol.
I was still scratching my head.
Anyone who remembers Sam Vimes in Feet Of Clay (this is the third of the city watch series of Pratchett’s Discworld stories. If you haven’t yet, do) remembers the frustration of seeing him looking for something without noticing the candle he was searching by (spoiler averted danced all over).
It was like that anyway. 16 hours of light is not enough. The veg tent is now on 18/6.
(Hmm. The fact I look to the Discworld series to untangle real world issues is perhaps more telling than I would have liked ).
The other thing I was going to say about upping my cloning game lately is this, and it’s also almost too obvious to notice. You can’t take a healthy cut from an unhealthy plant.
Now, my veg light is only 40w so leaf vigour is not something I even noticed I was missing. Now everyone in the veg tent (and anyone less than a week in 12/12) gets a foliar feed every 5-7 days. Leaves love it.
I’m also spraying the leaves of the cuttings in Schrodinger’s tray and that’s the only time I mess with them at all. I spray the inside of their dome with plain water twice a day.
I like the tip about the hydroton balls (why is that fun to say? Hydroton balls!) under the cube for somewhere dry and sterile to stand. (You don’t necessarily think of soil (dirt?) as being sterile do you?)
The only thing I’ll add on the peat pucks is that a lot of folk find benefit from tearing that mesh packet open so that it can be removed when roots show without damaging them. I’ll put a picture up when my next cbd drops out of superposition.
I’m sure to be missing something, but thanks to you all for your help in getting all this straightened out.
