January 31st update
Days 9 & 2: Temperatures were fantastic all day, and humidity was 35-40%. Felt just like a perfect summer day in there yesterday. Now if we could only keep that up...
Angel - Auto Purple Amnesia (Shortstuff Seeds)
Let me preface this by saying I am the little boy who cried wolf, except that I am more the lady that cried "fudge, I killed it". I have not once, in my life, ever been able to keep a plant alive. Kids, cats, dogs, fish, rodents, etc... No problems there. But the second you hand me something potted and green? It's dead.
So Angel, I'm sorry if your namesake killed you early, but you look sad and kind of pathetic. Even more so than Britta looked in the beginning. My fingers, and toes, are crossed you'll perk up, but it's been 12 hours since that picture was taken (I take pictures at night and update the next morning), and you still doesn't look any better.
And in other thoughts... I need to change my feeding schedule slightly as I didn't really look at my bottles when modifying A-Train's schedule. The B1 needs to be a lower dosage than what I wrote, and I'll also need to check OptiCAL to see if it's different as well. Thankfully I'm brighter than I look and I thought about this BEFORE I added nutes to the girls.
So much love to you and your mum! Hitting the bong and talking about growing with your mum: that must have been a bit surreal, actually, but in a wonderful way Bless you for helping her and helping yourself with this amazing medicine! She's 90 and I also wanted her to know that if she develops any serious pain in the future that regardless of the legal climate, I will be able to provide her with relief, if she wants to try this. They all look great, even Nessie -- she's just tiny and just as human babies can look a little weird and squashed and discoloured when they're born, plant babies do too, right after birth! They've been jammed inside a little seed, after all, so of course their cotyledons look a little mashed I do understand what you mean about killing everything you touch -- I can garden outside but indoors I kill all plants pretty quickly Some just are raring to go and others are slower ...
I am hugging you in my mind right now, Smokey
I had a long talk with my own mum a month or so ago, about cannabis and using it and growing it. She was fascinated and very, very open minded. I bring my vape along with me to dinner now and when she and my husband are drinking their red wine, I vape a small bowl
Just a few words about your babies:
They're fine
I was a little taken aback by my latest sprouts -- the last two lots I've planted after germination in coco coir and these I've planted in organic soil. I was worried that they were so much smaller than the sprouts I've had in coco, but I've had a few people pop in and reassure me that often plants can be a little slower in soil than in coco. I've certainly seen that two different sprouts can have vastly different levels of energy or thirst for living or whatever
Anyway, just wanted to tell you how much I'm enjoying your journal and your journey and how much I want to send you hugs
Not quite an update but a story I'd like to share since I haven't had the chance yet.
My mother and I are quite close. We talk a few times per week. In fact, she was the reason I didn't smoke until my mid-twenties. Growing up, she always told me her hilarious (to her) stories. They terrified me, and I was firmly in the "I do not and will not smoke" category.
Fast forward to about a year ago, and I had had enough of these damn migraines. I had huge personal crap going on, and I was in constant pain. I gave in and started smoking. My pain went away. Other health problems have arisen since then, but the pain is the main hell.
So my mom and I are talking (last week) and we're discussing CBD and pain management. She has fibro, and we have A LOT of the same pain. So I'm telling her about Critical Mass and she's telling me about Girl Scout Cookies. We go pick her out a bong, and I say come over and I'll show you how to properly fill and use it. So she comes over and we're smoking in the garage, and we're discussing growing. I show her my dresser, and she tells me about how she grew once in my bedroom window when I was a year or two old (apparently it had the best light
And now, I'll be growing for the both of us. My journey from here on out not only includes healing myself and my other half, but now my mother as well. I'm a-okay with that. At least this way, I know she will be in better health, and I won't have to worry that there isn't anything I can do.
Have a great night everyone!
That's Awesome!! I am hoping to give my Mom her first look into cannabis this spring. I'll say she is and has always been against it( I believe too much reefer madness). However she now has several ailments that cannabis would help her with. So here's to hoping it goes that well with my Mom
