1:1 is good up to a point, but at 75mg CBD/day would 1:1 would be a good idea?

Not for a THC naive partaker, no.

I think something akin to Harlequin (5:2 CBD:THC ratio) in dosing in modest amounts would be good for my mother and those similarly situated.

I've been quite tired of late

Sorry I'm just now reading all this! Was one hell of a day.

With so much of the research biased towards demonizing cannibus, and as you pointed out, simply just still in its infancy. It is certainly a revolutionary time we currently live in. One can only wait and hope for better information and research

@Alafornia I am truly thankful for you taking the time to point me towards some more good info. I've always just been a smoker, never thought of weed as more than a way to get stoned for years. Here in the last 4-5 years though, it's actually helping me with my anxiety and pain. And apparently it has the capacity to do much more than we really know.

I know very little about extracts, capsules, oils. Any of it really that isn't a bud or a dab lol. Im going to order some higher cbd/ more sativa dominant strains to start growing for my dad. Anything that has the potential to help, I'm all for.

Thanks again for taking the time to drop by! It is truly appreciated. I'm going to go read that article you posted now!!!!

sativa dominant strains to start growing for my dad

My only thought here is that sativa might aggravate agitation in those who are suffering from dementia, so that's something to consider when picking strains.

 

[MightyMoe22]

Hmmm. @InTheShed what strains or indica/sativa ratios would you recommend looking into? Or what thc-cbd ratios? *edited*

 

[InTheShed]

I don't have any recommendations specifically. I just know that agitation can be a component of dementia, and that a sativa might increase the agitation level. Of course it might have a calming effect like ritalin does for folks with ADD. I just wanted to mention it as something to be aware of going forward.

Whatever you decide, start with small batches and get lots of feedback from as many different people your dad interacts with.

 

[MightyMoe22]

I just found this, it sounds in a way like sativas may upset patients with more of the "sun downers" type symptoms, if used in the evening/closer to bed time i can see these strains being problematic. But potentially still useful for morning or daytime medication.

High Mighty, A few years ago I had a boss who's mom got times of agitation with dementia. He gave her a half of a regular thc gummy from the dispensary to help with it. He told me after a while she would calm down and be able to talk to him in a relatively normal way. I think my point is, maybe it doesn't matter so much the sway to indica or sativa? He didn't know the difference and it worked for her..

 

[MightyMoe22]

Goooood morning everyone!!

 

[Backlipslide]

Good morning MM!!

 

[MightyMoe22]

Got me a busy day today! Yard work, plant work, work in the shop on the new room. And on top of it all. Supposed to get on my wife's horse and ride today! I'm pretty novice at horse back riding. And he's a big ol boy. 17.5 hands I belive she said!

I got into the veg tent today and got two of the four big photos ReTrained and did a heavy defol on them. Holy moly @Emilya ! You weren't kidding, the cages make lst and training sooo much easier! Taking a little smoke break and gonna go finish mowing the lawn before I go back for the other two. Its a busy day but it's all work I enjoy!

Dos-si-dos spiral lst 3.0 (now featuring a tomato cage)

And our newest addition to the autos, my second attempt at a bruce banner. (Tragically as most of you know, I burnt my first one to a crisp!!!! Oops)

Then all the rest of the tent as it stands, for now. Until I put the smack down on the rest of them later! And I'll update on the auto chem og later. Plan on introducing bud explosion and sweet candy to the mix!!

 

[MightyMoe22]

Also, I did a thing!! Or two... pulled the trigger on the light! $690usd shipped! What, from hlg would have cost me 1000+, easy!

I also pulled the trigger on what I'm hoping, and estimating will be a solid entry level press that is a bit larger/ better than the smallest beginner presses like the "nug smasher mini", or the "rosineer presso". With a higher tonnage rating and larger plates standard on either of the aforementioned two. It also looks very versatile in its possible mounting arrangements. Super stoked to get my hands on it!

 

[Backlipslide]

Very cool!! Sweet buy! How much was the press if you don’t mind me asking?

Got the gorilla glue#4 ReTrained last night, just have one to go, the white widow. This gg#4is gonna be an absolute monster!! I had to do some super cropping and serious tying down to get her under control!!!

Chem og auto flower update
Introduced the bud explosion and sweet candy to its feed last night. It has been getting 3.5-3.6 grams of mega crop per gallon. I dropped the mc to 2.8 and added .25 of each of the other, BE and SC. Mixed up two gallons at this concentration and watered, half last night the other half first thing this morning.

Interesting play... I am curious how this works out. Good job!
