McLoadie's Third Grow Journal

Good Weed MC. Plants looking sweet, thats why that mouse wants them.

Good morning WB, this is a real technical grow, I'm disciplining myself to get all my objectives accomplished at the proper time, cut off as much small stuff that I dare, and I'm applying full doses of nutrients....which I have never done before!
 
I think it's important to tell ya'all about the work I'm doing with the patients. The help and ideas I have gotten from mmj advocates of all dimensions have helped so much it is impossible to thank everyone....but Bassman, bro, I took your words and implemented your ideas and I must thank you not only of myself, but we have three people enjoying some relief from your advice to me. I have a person who is battling alcoholism, it's a terrible addiction, often as bad or worse on the perimeters of the condition. As the brain cells die, and to a further extent more complete portions of the brain, it becomes more and more difficult for the patient to distinguish the extent of destruction that's happening to them both physically and mentally. Anyway, this person has been taking the oil tincture I made with the butter machine I won, now I will tell you, I never expect a lot, only some improvement, but I have noticed that this person is way more alert, like it restored the thinking somehow, and also, this person is drinking wayyyy less! I find this person complaining vocally, when a cold pack coulda solved any problems a week ago! Next patient.....LOL.....which has turned into two patients! A man, who I met originally from a close brother asked if he could contact me directly for meds, I liked the guy and said ok, well, I ended up going to visit him at home and he has a wife....who is stricken with alzheimers. I would also like to say that although these patients identities are being kept super confidential, they have consented for me to discuss their cases for the sake of research and reference. So, I make the juice and the patients get their issues, yesterday loadie and I go to alzheimers patients house, they had veggies they wanted me to have.....I could tell they wanted me there to talk about something. Well, the patient is behaving absolutely normally and has been since first dose..WTF?...1 dose?, this person is now able to go out in public, without fear of forgetting where they are at, what they are doing, or at times who they even are! I just wanna praise God!, anything outta me that is good obviously came from Him, I came to grips with my failed condition many years ago and realized that my heart continually sought to do evil, it is the Spirit of Jesus....living inside me that is good!, not my nature....LOL ( if you knew me for years you would understand). In any case, the persons husband told me that he tested the tincture before he gave it to wife, and for the first time in many years he slept all night! One more thing, the alzheimers patient has stopped taking Ativan, and is going to slowly work away from some of the other meds she's taking for her condition. I told them that they need to notify the doctor of what she's doing....and maybe the doctor will work WITH us, I think this is a good scenario and I believe the doc should know before a person discontinued any prescribed medication, and if they are negative, get another doc!
 
Hey Mcloadie, thanks for sharing your patients experiences with this wonderful plant. My mum died of alzheimers 6 years ago. She took expensive prescriptions for it but nothing helped. Miserable way to go. Anything that can hold back it's progression is a miracle! Bless you for being able to help them.
 
And if someone made a quick calculation about how much profit you ripped off of the drug industry just in these cases you mentioned, it'd be easy to see why this stuff is illegal :)

I'm happy for the happyness you spread :)
Hope those people will get better on long term
 
Good weed Mc and young Miss Loadie!:circle-of-love:
hope you have a wonderful weedend!
 
I was just reading a post from Jon705. he said that its best to stop the last three weeks of flower. says it makes for a much smoother and tasty smoke:)
I have a question, is there some consensus as to when I should discontinue the application of calmag?
 
I do use it. but I mix it in my soil before planting and really haven't added more after that. maybe 2 coffee scoops full to 5 gallons of soil.
Thanks fishy, do you use the stuff, and if you do how do you use it........you know....like when?

Thanks fishy, I really need to get to the ag extension and get a read on my water, if it's full of calcium already I need to look at alternative plans compared to what I've been doing....something is just a little bit off and I can't put my finger on it.....I'm so close....the plants are healthy, they could be just a little better. A funny note, I saw a picture of a project some young kids are doing....they are hinting that they want a consultation....after the picture I think maybe I want a consultation from them!.....LOL.......:circle-of-love:
 
OK, there are, and have always been problems with gophers, since I was the head gopher killer at a real golf course I will address this subject. I was trained how to kill gophers by a wise old greenskeeper, it's an important task as a single gopher can inflict tens of thousands of dollars in damage to expensive bentgrass greens in a single night. I have seen the damage first hand, and a twelve foot subterranean burrow took me in excess of 6 months to repair with DAILY treatment! A little bit of factual background to get this moving. Gophers, and moles have literally identical behaviors, so this method works for both. These animals rarely, are caught above ground...day or night, birds of prey will kick their asses. They have one more enemy and that is the snake, I have the feeling that they are particularly fond of the baby gophers, but I have no evidence that this is true. Anyhow, both of these threats have a common denominator.....the gophers hole to the outside world. We will use the gophers instinctual behavior against him......all he wants is to have that hole covered. So, after all that heres the skinny; take three 3lb tin coffee cans, poke one hole with an icepick or suitable small pointed tool directly in the center of what would be the bottom of the can, this will be the point of entry for the last bit of light the pest will ever see, then poke another hole right at the top of the can just inside the thicker rim portion....this is where you will attach the trap chain. Now, you will need to procure three gopher trap, the ones with the hooks, they will also have a chain about 18" long, attach the chain to the can with anything by the hole you made at the rim of the can. NOW we can get to work.........find the freshest signs of activity, the pushed up dirt...or an open hole will be helpful.....they will never leave a hole open for long. The next part is the trick....if you use one trap....you will NEVER get the gopher...........if you use two traps you will get one now and then........BUT, if you use three traps you will get him most every time....and within 24 hrs.. Go to the freshest hole and dig the dirt out with a spoon, exposing the tunnel portion, big enough for the trap to function unimpeded, set a trap and place it in the hole til the back end of the trap ( where the chain is connected) is about an inch inside the tunnel. Take the coffee can, place it upside down over the hole and pile the dirt up around the perimeter to seal off any light leaks, that trap is set and finished. IMPORTANT!......do the same thing with the two CLOSEST holes to the first one. That's it, I expect a full report.....LOL, I bet you get em first night!
 
I pictured myself doing everything to the word, one Q, the "trap chain", what could I use for this, some three pronged smaller fish hooks, maybe about 3-4 of them all set along the inside of his tunnel? I can picture the critter coming up, possibly walking along the small hooks, and trippin out once he noticed, running back down the tunnel to eventually have the hooks set and hold him still? Or a mini sized bear trap:loopy: Im kinda blazed but I think i've seen some chain traps down at the local hardware store. Thanks for that info señor mcloadie, much appreciated :Namaste:
