looks like everyone is harvesting this weekend hehe, got a big night ahead of me tonight in my garden too 
Hiya Brother Light! Thanks for the kind words. That's really interesting about the Paranoia thing. When I grew with bottled nutes I really did get paranoid, but not much anymore. I also noticed that growing Legally has done wonders for that lol! I also don't smoke anymore just vape and usually 1 hit at a time. So littler doses helps too I think. It would be interesting to do some tests on the subject with the same strains grown using LOS vs Salts. I think it does have a lot to do with regular use and state of mind as well. Lots of factors I think. For me, any strain that doesn't make my heart race is a winner.
My input re "anxiety/paranoia" w/ organic vs. non-organic is based on my experience & collective info from experienced growers over the years. The "nervous wreck" comment stems from theories of grower influence in Jason King's Cannabible, an older classic book on marijuana strains & info. He absolutely believes growers impact the effects of his/her herb...that our special plant can take on qualities/vibes of its grower. I.e., if 5 skilled growers all grew a single strain, each resulting plant will exhibit characteristics/vibes of its grower. Also, if a single skilled grower grows out 5 different strains, his/her vibes will also be imprinted in each of the 5 different strains/plants. Both theories are very accurate, applicable, & evident in my experience. Mellow, relaxed growers in a good place produce entirely different weed from uptight, anxious growers in not so good states of mind.
Absolutely gorgeous buds, Brother! +REPS!
OK so that hash tip bit is just trichs that have matted together! A few good growers get this! Its just good growing
Cajun has had them lots recently after sharing his mix of essential oils that are used in the US by some growers to produce the topflight/topshelf buds for dispensaries!
So yep not bleaching but lots of trichs on mass
Bunch of us twisted folks here lol. I was in the waiting room waiting for my spine surgery (LL discectomy x3), when I met this 75+ y.o. man. He was was seated next to his wife, and was sitting up extra straight, shaking violently and smiling through gritted teeth. I had much of my family there, and by his glances my way, he could tell that I was the one going in, so I struck up one of those nervous conversations that you have with people, when you are in the same uncomfortable situation.
Turns out he's had about 7+ surgeries, is mostly fused, and he's shaking from the pain. I just about shit my pants when I saw the pain in his eyes. Most of us with this type of injury, know this level of pain, even if it's only briefly or semi-chronic. This guy lived his life at that level. His surgical plan was to have a morphine pump installed inside his body, where it could inject meds directly into the spine and nerve trunks. I am forever grateful for meeting him, and walked out of the hospital the same night as my surgery...feeling like a very lucky man.
