HG & FP's Summer 2017 Grow - Freedom - CB Dutch Treat - Durban Poison

[FeloniousPunk]

My wife's family doctor didn't really set things in motion quite quickly enough, so her pain was building when she finally got to see the right specialist and started Prednisone, and it has at least allowed her some normalcy while she works her way through the options. She's isn't quite a year into that and hasn't found the right option yet. She's just gotten approved for the pricey stuff so we're hopeful once that starts we'll move the needle again. I'm confident we'll find the right mix in time - it's just a slow process to work through, and we haven't even gotten to the best bets yet.

Thank you for your vote of confidence. And thank you for your links. I will keep those in mind when the time comes, and I don't think it'll be too far off. My wife gets the symmetrical pain in those spots too, and I'm really excited for how it might respond to the various CBD options we can work up. A guy I was chatting with about it even suggested I could make topical indica oil and rub it on my sore spots when I get stomach cramps from IBS. 5 years ago I wouldn't have imagined this might be something I'd realistically be trying and benefiting from.

I think you hit the nail on the head with Tweed. Seems they're really using medical as an avenue to test out how they'll approach recreational, which is sad for us.

Eastern Ontario here! I love this time of year here, although my sinuses sometimes disagree. I'm a big fan of concert season in Ontario, music and summer go so well together, so I'll have to check out your blog.

Great to meet you guys too, best of luck with your grow, and thank you for the good vibes for mine!

Thanks DobeWan,

We are headed to Ottawa in August to see GnR. It will be my fourth GnR concert. Slash is my favourite guitarist.

Peace.

We're going too! We try to see a ton of live music but it'll be our first time seeing GnR so I'm pretty excited. I can't wait to hear Sweet Child O' Mine live. Friends who went last year said they were great, way better than it had been since Slash and co split from Axl.

Good Morning All,

Durban 2 popped her head up overnight.

No sign of Freedom 5 yet.

Freedom 6 was found lying on her side this morning. I used a couple of toothpicks to pry the seed shell off the sprout. We will see if that was the cause.

So we now have 6 plants on their way in the tent, with the Freedoms having a two week head start. Woo Hoo!

Peace.

 

[Lady Antheia]

Can't wait to see pics! Hoping Freedom 5 makes an appearance tomorrow. She probably just wants to make a glamorous entrance.

Happy belated birthday HG! Your germination sounds like a success so far FP&HG. There are more and more FD growers now, lemme know when you start the new thread. Wishing you bountiful harvests.

 

[HashGirl]

for the belated birthday wishes, G2HM.

I'm not convinced I want to start the thread (I assume you're talking about the FD community journal.) I'm not sure I want to be in charge of another thread. If you'd like to start it, you could. (?) I think it would be popular. No pressure though.

I completely understand that. I myself, don't have the brain power to do that. I just wanted to support your endeavors. .

 

[HashGirl]

Maybe I'll plant a seed in the CBD Community Journal about the idea. Because you and I both know it's a good idea so you never know.

Thanks, G2HM.

By the way HG, I wasn't meaning to be sketchy with details when we were chatting about RA - just being extra paranoid. To be clear, as I'm sure you could figure out, my wife has RA too. I've been telling her about the people I've encountered here so perhaps in time she'll sign up herself. Next up on her journey is Cimzia, she's doing vaccinations now to prep for it.

Hope it works well as we have a few concerts planned for the summer ourselves. What's funny though is that in Ontario, we technically can't consume legal MMJ at a concert because it's usually a liquor license violation, and grounds for dismissal. Even edibles! Oh, the irony.

No worries, Dobe. I figured you were just protecting your privacy. I'm that way, too (although Felonious might disagree ).

Sorry to hear about your wife's RA. It's a sucky disease but even worse are the medications, in my opinion. I'd love to not have to use anything other than cannabis for my RA but that's not realistic at this point in time. I do use it for pain control among other things but I know I still need a medication to keep deformities at bay. I was on Rituxan for 7 years and now I'm on Xeljanz. I've had RA for 13 years and have been on a lot of different meds. Some worked and some didn't and some had to be stopped because of bad reactions.

Anyhow, I'm rambling. I'm a little bit high.

The points I wanted to make are that we have a member (also from Ontario) named Danolo who is trying to find make meds for his wife who also has RA so he's someone else you might like to seek out.

And, the one person that I wish was still active but seems to have dropped off the 420 website lately is Tennessee Tim who claimed he cured his RA with cannabis but he hasn't posted in months so I don't know where he is or anything.

Other than G'NR, who are you seeing this summer? Felonious and I are seeing The Offspring and Live on June 10, Linkin Park on August 8 and then G'NR on August 21. We already saw Green Day in March and I'm toying with getting tickets to see The New Pornographers in October.

 

[DobeWan]

Danolo and Tennessee Tim - I will keep an eye out. I spoke with a guy locally who supposedly is a whiz with extracts. I have a lot to learn!

Only other tickets we have is for Osheaga in Montreal. We go just about every year. I'll go to Bluesfest in Ottawa a few nights but likely on my own because the timing isn't great. I've convinced myself to see Tom Petty and to go for the LCD Soundsystem night but haven't settled on any others yet. Considering a trip to Toronto the first week of July, I would see King Crimson if I did as my folks can't use their tickets.

In a world before dependents my wife and I used to see whatever we could - we've basically cut the road trips down to planned summer things with hotels and not me amped up on coffee and driving home after shows! But we took full advantage and from say 2003-2013 saw almost all of our all time favourites. If they were still playing a show, no matter how far past their primes, we would go.

I got all of this from my parents - over the years growing up they travelled to see Pink Floyd, Robert Plant, Brian Ferry, etc. I'm convinced the value they put on these shows led me to view live music as similarly important!

 

[HashGirl]

Hot Damn, Dobe, I think I like you. Anyone who loves King Crimson because his parents have tickets they can't use is totally cool in my books!

Hi All,

I have been told the Freedom Dreams are Autos. I can't verify this yet, but should be able to confirm in a few weeks as Freedom Dream 1 & 2 mature.

Peace.

Nice, except that you can't clone autos and expect a decent return on the effort. Looks like seed-making may be in your future Felonius. Rifleman has been successful at seeding his DDAs.

 

[FeloniousPunk]

Hi All,

Luckily, I still have over a hundred seeds, But if they are Autos, I'll need to figure out seeds.

Peace.

 

[Lady G2HM]

Autos? Cue Scooby Doo dog grunt for confusion.

Wishing you both hearty harvests!

 

[FeloniousPunk]

I love that Scooby sound! A friend calls the cannabis blondies that HG made "Scooby Snacks".

I read the auto on another cannabis site. It was stated with some authority, but I am hesitant to say it is fact. I guess we will know before long...

Peace.

Good morning/afternoon.

It's been a couple of weeks since photos have been posted so first here are our Freedom Dreams. We think Freedom 1 might be male and wonder if anyone here knows for sure?

Freedom 1, 2, 5 and 6 are 16 days' old. Freedom 1 and 2 are doing really well so it would be great if they were both females. Freedom 3, 4, 7 and 8 are all 9 days old and of those ones, only 4 and 8 are looking like they'll make it. 7 and 8 look like empty pots, and 5 fell over and has shriveled up.


FREEDOM DREAM 1 - Is it male?

FREEDOM DREAM 3, 4, 5, 7 AND 8
