Welcome to my most joyous and most anticipated (by me) grow yet! Due to renovations in our apartment, the tent had to come down, and I have been living vicariously through so many of your journals since. I thank you for that! Luckily I find myself truly blessed with several fine jars of buds from my prior harvests to see me through to my next!
It was just a year ago that I re-discovered the healing properties of this beautiful plant!
My first two grows were an amazing learning experience, with the help and encouragement of so many of you awesome folks here. Many thanks to you all again! This community here is just incredible...isn't it?
I am really looking forward to stepping things up a bit this time by adding an additional small tent. I want the ability to veg new plants as soon as I flip some over to flower. I have also switched up to Doc Bud's High Brix Kit. I can't wait to see the results I get with Doc's magic potions!
I will be growing a high CBD strain to help fight inflammation (AC/DC), as well as a few high THC strains for pain relief. Different meds to cover different symptomology!
Since I need to remain unclouded during the day while I work, I am adding juicing fresh leaves into my regimen along with topical applications. I want to keep those CB1 and CB2 receptors fed and happy!
I'll strive to post recipes here from time to time, as I incorporate this incredible edible plant into my diet. I am a retired chef and pastry chef. My culinary endeavors here will be to promote good health while still being delicious! I chose my high THC strains for their flavor profile. I want to play around with making oils that will lend themselves well for my culinary creations.
Just to give you a little background on how I landed here at 420Magazine... I have multiple autoimmune disorders, the two main ones being rheumatoid arthritis and Crohn's disease. Alzheimer's and cancer are prevalent in my family as well, so I am using cannabis as a preventative as much as I am a treatment for my ongoing issues.
I am very fortunate to live in a state where cannabis is now legal, both medicinally and recreationally. Sadly... it goes without saying that there is still an archaic stigma associated with cannabis use. Not everyone in my life support my passion for growing and using cannabis for my medical issues, but I have managed to change a few minds along the way.
Okay okay! Enough chatter! The soil is ready, the seeds are ready to pop, and the spirit is on fire! I always have something cooking on the stove or in the fridge. Please grab yourself a snack and pull up a chair. If you don't like jazz...I have some Tull in the stacks. Feel free to drop by anytime! Like Motel 6, "We'll leave the light on for you"!
