Aw thanks Ants, (do you mind if I call you that?) I'm doing my best, but like Bee said, there's only so much to do for those that don't want to be taken care of or get healthy for themselves. It's mindboggling because sometimes my Dad seems so willing to change, says if I can grow enough good weed for our family he'd stop drinking and smoke/vape instead, but then he gets drunk off his bum and he renegs on all of that. Harvest is coming up though, so we'll see what it will be. The healthy, medicinal choice, or binge drinking into an early grave. Only time will tell.. I hope he does the right thing but I can't make his choices for him, and I don't want to. I want him to care about his family and life enough to do it himself. If he can't reach that point.. hate to say it but maybe I should just move on..

Sure, as long as I can call you the pantyhose strangler. lol

The alcohol addiction can be a tough one. As long as he doesn't get completely infuriated if you try to talk to him about his drinking, it'll be easier to change things. My father unfortunately has gone beyond that. Mention that he should slow down (You know.. because killing 12 beers before 2pm isn't normal), and he gets all fucking pissed off and ruins everyone's day.

So I'm still lost trying to help him with the drinking. Responsible drinking, I have no problem with. But excessive drinking is ridiculous. And it's difficult here because I have no fucking idea how to approach him about it without pissing him off. So I know what you're going through.

But I'm not even at the stage of him being willing to replace alcohol with Cannabis. That's another tough subject. He's stubborn about absolutely everything. Such is life.. Good luck over there, I hope you can get everything worked out for him.

Hi everyone!
So first off, sorry for my lack of updates, I have been very busy as you probably know, but not so busy that I didn't have time to take pics and upload them. I just didn't. Was kinda procrastinating. So, sorry, and yes an apology was due, I get mad at myself when I pull that procrastination crap. My first apartment was a pig sty because I used to just get stoned and pretty much escape the world. Now I like cleaning or doing productive stuff when I'm high nothing is as nice as an accomplished high, sitting back and rewarding yourself after achieving something. I digress. Let it be known though I promise a big update tomorrow, with pictures that I will try not to let look like they're in the midst of a massive Rastafarian smoke sesh.

In other news, I have power of attorney for my dad now -.- probably should have had it since the second he first got arrested last year, (shortly after his work accident) ... Brain injuries are nasty stuff. They bring out the worst in people and make them need others more at the same time.
Had to hire a notary to get it, pulled together funds, sold an investment/retirement acct for my dad >.< so that we could pay some expensive greedy SOB lawyer. 8500$ up front. If he doesn't work wonders -.- suffice it to say, a mysterious shadowy figure from the mountain forests may wreak vengeance upon some Maserati tires for me. shhhh. Well I better get on to answering everyone and go to bed before it's time to get up lol.

Would be great if cannabis helps with alcohol rehabilitation If it works on your dad I will donate my next harvest to my parents!

It helps one of my friends a lot with alcohol rehab He's not allowed to drink anymore, since he got a dui and nearly died driving in the mountains and crashing off the road, and also got in a pretty rough domestic abuse mess after a binger. He goes to jail if he gets caught with alcohol. This, naturally, isn't easy for an alcoholic. Didn't say anything bout weed though I used to buy weed for him from my dispensary. Now he gets it himself Colorado rocks that way, and he doesn't drink anymore. He's been sober (of alcohol ) 2 years now. He smokes if really needs something to relax on, but doesn't smoke very much either anymore, usually just with me

Hope it works for me - and then you!

My old mum went that way too. Until she got Altzheimer's. Then she'd forget where she'd hidden her gin.

Everybody's said it, SG. Thinking of you.

Hahahah, my dad solved that problem, he has pretty bad dementia sometimes, his solution was to keep a bottle of Pinnacle (nasty) in every drawer and on every counter he uses throughout the day.
But it should be said, he used to be not only a hardcore alcoholic; he would take tons of sleeping pills and xanax along with the alcohol, day and night, enough that any normal person would probably overdose and die, and this was never ending. He found an online pharmacy and literally spent thousands on ambien and xanax and even some valium. I honestly used to steal them and even ended up addicted myself, its really a slippery slope, I managed to quit about a year ago though.. though I still have trouble falling asleep. My dad quit the pills only about a month ago, and without telling me. I'm really impressed.

Thank you for the kind words and thoughts Mr. Teddy I hope you're keeping Mrs. Teddy happy across those little atlantic/mediterranean/adriatic ponds.

From my understanding I think you are mistaken. AC/DC was really the first big name CBD strain in the MMJ community in the Pacific Northwest. Up until the Stanley brothers had their piece on Charlotte's Web. My understanding from speaking with sources of both strains is that both groups started with a bag of Cannatonic trying to get the 20(THC):1(CBD) they ended up getting the CBD strong pheno 1:20 and named it Charlotte's Web. AC/DC comes from similar circumstances. I've grown Both AC/DC and Charlotte's Web both come out with the same results CBD % wise though both seem somewhat different in their growth and yield. Just my own experience if I am wrong I'll be the first to admit it. Though there are multiple sources out there that will support my statement regarding AC/DC. I have never heard of AC/DC being 20/20 though I have heard of a Cannatonic pheno with those numbers. Can't remember the name for the life of me.

You won't see any mention of AC/DC or Cannatonic on the TGA webstie YET. IF you go to their Weed Nerd Episode 200 or 201 on youtube, Subcool shows the AC/DC female he has that he plans on breeding to a TGA strain. I think it's maybe the Cuvee' strain they have that I'm really excited to get my hands on. The majority of their medical line is all derived of Harlequin crosses, with one Medicine Woman cross. So for their medical line up is Hurkle (Harlequin x Querkle), Micky Kush (Jack the Ripper x Sweet Irish Kush), nurse Jackie (Medicine Woman x Jack the Ripper), Pennywise (Harlequin x Jack the ripper). I may be forgetting one or two but I think that covers it.

Great shares on genetics G-low I know how you're dependent on high CBD strains for your medicine, so you must know your stuff.

Sorry to hear about the troubles Sgirl. Sending light and love your way

Aw thank you.. everyone here is so kind. I hope you're well and about to do more video updates with that beautifully Aussie accent

Sure, as long as I can call you the pantyhose strangler. lol

The alcohol addiction can be a tough one. As long as he doesn't get completely infuriated if you try to talk to him about his drinking, it'll be easier to change things. My father unfortunately has gone beyond that.

But I'm not even at the stage of him being willing to replace alcohol with Cannabis. That's another tough subject. He's stubborn about absolutely everything. Such is life.. Good luck over there, I hope you can get everything worked out for him.

Hahahaha. You're very welcome to and may that expensive lawyer fear me and my pantyhose.

Oh god, the irate anger whenever you bring it up. Unfortunately my Dad does that, just not to the degree of yours. My Dad's gotten very good at switching his ears off upon mentioning his alcoholism, but if you press him at all he gets upset and goes on the offensive. "you smoke weed all the time who are you to tell me what's healthy" "your mom drinks all the time what about her"... so much inherently wrong with those statements I'm speechless every time. If you or anyone wants to help with what to say to this, I'd actually appreciate it a lot lol. My normal response would be "Weed is different, it's truly medicinal, can prevent seizures, relieve pain, prevent cell metastasis in tumors, yada yada yada y'all know the shpeel... doesn't make you crazy or violent...blah blah blah, its not right for mom either" but this logic just hits a brick wall with him. I'm SOL for ideas (S**t outta luck) so any ones from here would be nice.

Aw Antz I'm so sorry to hear about that/ I'm lost for what to say. ..maybe (and this may sound ridiculous) if you got a little drunk with him he'd listen better. One of the only times I really got through to my Dad was when I drank with him, he was wasted, I was buzzed, and he seemed a lot more willing to listen to me. Just a thought. Maybe its stupid.

My Dad isn't at that stage either yet, well at least not to a point where he'll say it to me. Apparently my mom got him to say he'd maybe quit drinking If I could grow good weed and she'd quit with him. That's all I'm really going off, a tiny glimmer of hope. But, I may yet get results from it I wish my weed would finish faster, but I guess my dad isn't here anyways -.- ugh. back to jail thoughts. So tired of those.

Ok I'm tired in general. Goodnight Antz (I loved your movie when I was little - I'm not the only one who remembers "Antz" am I?) And goodnight everyone else.

I love your rasta smoke pictures,they are unique

I'm having trouble finding one specific topic by a poster who shared his experience in using Cannabis to quit drinking. I believe he said he was using oil, and it actually ended up making him hate the taste of alcohol.

I did manage to find a few other links that might be helpful, even if they only serve as reinforcement for information you already know:
Cannabis as a substitute for alcohol and other drugs
Cannabis substitution: An Adjunctive Therapeutic Tool in the Treatment of Alcoholism
Marijuana Can Cure Alcohol Addiction

The anger is the most difficult part. It always leads to slamming EVERYTHING, opposed to just setting it down, or simply closing a cabinet door. The childish tantrums caused by alcohol are ridiculous. I just feel like saying 'Okay, we get it, you're angry, now get the fuck over it'. But I'm pretty sure you know how well that would go over.

I mean.. he HAS improved a little. My father used to drink DAILY, and once even drank so much he just completely passed out right in the kitchen. Didn't eat anything all day, and this was like 9-10 years ago, so the details might be off a bit, but I believe he was drinking from 8-9am, and ended up passing out around 12-1pm.

Now he'll only drink when he has a day off from work the next day, however most times it's still a large quantity.. 8, 10, 12 cans of beer in usually about 4 hours. I can't drink that much pepsi, or even water in a whole fucking day!

I wish I knew what to say too... but when I see how well Cannabis oil works on my first patient, I'll have some first hand knowledge to present to him. That's about all I have to work with right now.

Do I drink alcohol? You bet your ass I do. once, or maybe twice a year. And I have a 2 drink limit. After that I drink pepsi, coke, or water. My whole family, with the exception of my mother drink. And heavily. And I mean my grandmother, aunts, uncles, cousins, etc.. It's out of control. Seeing all this at family gatherings for holidays was an inspiration to me NOT to even become an alcoholic. And honestly, I haven't had a drink at all this year.

I don't get drunk ever, so getting drunk with him is out of the question. I can do a shot with him, and I'lll catch a strong buzz off 1 drink due to a non-existent tolerance, but getting drunk is a nono. I'll gladly smoke a bowl with my folks though. Unfortunately they're still on the fence about Cannabis use. But I do know my father smoked a bit when I was younger, I found a small soapstone pipe in their bedroom, and it didn't smell like tobacco, so I had an idea what it was. When I found his stash in the attic, it confirmed my suspicions. However he doesn't smoke anymore that I know of.

A glimmer of hope, is still hope. So go with it. And you're growing some huge plants, so you might easily have enough to make some oil as well. I'll be explaining it to them as a daily vitamin, whenever I can segway into that conversation.

Shit happens. But drinking and driving is dangerous, he can end up into A LOT more trouble than he is in now, and we want to avoid that, so I'll help wherever I can.

I remember the movie, but never watched it. I was too old lol. Although I also stopped watching cartoons when the classics were replaced with crap like animaniacs, duck tales, etc.. Give me the old Tom and Jerry, or Wile E Coyote and Road Runner any day!

Have a good one, and take care of yourself. I'll keep digging around to see if I can locate the thread where the guy talks about using Cannabis to quit drinking.

Jucy Lucy is looking great. I wish the shorter days had come earlier here. We are looking at a late October harvest. Going to be hard to battle with the rainy days late Sep, early Oct, and humidity.

 

[MaPilot]

This is in my mind Thread of the year material! The page long posts by SG are almost eye glazing, but enough fun stuff to keep you interested. I am waiting for the books on tape version because lets face it, This is a novel. (preferably read by the two old men who reenact gansta tweets).

From SoilGirl to Sailor girl, Sexy pantyhose, and least we forget the last bomb dropped, Bi-girl (although without pics the thread is useless). Daughter of the year nominee, Thanks SG for the great thread! I am inspired to think more before I post myself now.

BTW, what guitar do you play?

Lmao almost eye glazing. Yeahhh....... perhaps everyone here doesn't need to hear every random thought in my head.... but I'm going to share them anyways LOL. Its up to the reader whether to take the time or not, no hard feelings if its just too much

Thanks so much for the high praise though LOL maybe I should write a novel, or two. Maybe one for my Dad called, "There and Back Again: An Unexpected Journey to Jail" and one for me called, "Murder, She Wrote... and wrote... and wrote: How to kill with boring words" hahahaha I'd love those two old guys to read my tapes. But they better have their funeral arrangements and replacements ready.

Hahahahaha oh my, maybe I'll share a pic of me with my plants at harvest time. Lembatoast's meditation pics and his ganja mom pic, PRICELESS.

Lol you're very welcome for the thread, I'm so glad you enjoy it. And Yayyy I inspired someone to think more. Lord knows this world needs more people to think before doing or talking (Myself included) - and I play an American made Fender Strat, with a beautiful sunburst on the outer body and cherry wood panelings for the neck and the inner body. Put me back a thousand dollars lol - but money well spent, and I use a Micro Cube amp with it, a great little amp with lots of different settings/distortions. I need to get a decent acoustic though.

Jucy Lucy is looking great. I wish the shorter days had come earlier here. We are looking at a late October harvest. Going to be hard to battle with the rainy days late Sep, early Oct, and humidity.

Thanks LEDRF I'll be doing a better outdoors update in just a minute actually, I'm getting excited for harvest now that there's nice terpenes in the air and some buds are starting to gain weight.

Yeah... waiting is the hardest part of growing, especially with cannabis. Good luck with the fall harvest I'm sure you'll get your plants through it just fine, you seem like a smart cookie.

I love your rasta smoke pictures,they are unique

LOL glad you enjoy them - but they obscure the beauty of my plants sometimes and it frustrates me >.<
Thanks for coming by ghaze

Wow thanks so much Ants, how kind of you to share. +Reps for that post

I'm right there with you... alcoholics are incredibly frustrating. I too moved away from alcoholism and avoid alcohol because of growing up with that all around....

wanna know what my first stuffed animal was named? He was a stuffed elephant that I took everywhere lol, I named him Beerwine as soon as I could form coherent words. True story, can't make this stuff up. I named him that because I saw how happy my parents would seem whenever they drank their beer or their wine - and I wanted to name my stuffed animal something that made me happy like that. I even remember taking him to the zoo as a little girl and thinking, these elephants should drink beer and wine with those big trunks, not water, they'd have more fun stuck in there!
Geesh. It's a miracle I didn't end up even more of an alcoholic than them. Now I make a point of not drinking too much like you, two shots leaves me befuddled.

I'm really sorry to hear of your family's troubles, its awful, but all too common.. it turns grown, respectable men into animals and tantrum throwing toddlers. Turns my awesome mom into an incoherent bipolar mess too.

Oh god the passing out is the worst bit. In our old house in westminster, several times, my mom, sister, and I had to carry his unconscious body up two flights of stairs into bed. My sister and I are 130-140 lbs, my mom maybe 100, my dad is like 240. One of those times, he fell down the stairs and passed out after taking everything, literally everything he could grab, containers and all, silverware and all, napkins and leftovers, fresh meat and fruits and veggies and eggs from the fridge, threw it all in a giant pot for god knows why, put it on the stove, and put the burner on high.

It's like his drunken subconsciousness was trying to murder our family. We woke up to the smell of smoke and found him in the basement at the bottom of the stairs face down with one foot still on the steps, and we found the giant pot on the stove totally ruined with molten plastic and fucked up smoking mush inside of it, and an empty fridge that was full just hours before. He was still on ambien and xanax bingers with alcohol. I was so pissed I wanted to leave him there. but my mom was sobbing and screaming/cursing at me to help get him up so I reluctantly helped. Its truly fucked up growing up in an alcoholic family, if you haven't had that experience, its hard to explain to people.

Thanks for the concern I'm just going to finish up this rant and get to my update, though I have tons more I could say, lets just leave it at... fuck alcohol. Use weed.

Hear Hear!

And I'm looking forward to the next update. Just tell Snoop, Willie Nelson, Cheech, and Chong to wait until after you've taken the pictures before they light up.

Hear hear! Thank you Ants! Hahahah I'll do my best. (I so wish I knew any one of them!! I bet we'd get along )
Sorry havent updated yet lol, my tummy distracted me and I ordered a giant pizza hut meal just for me, and some scraps for the dogs. Having my dad's credit card is nice LOL. Plus - we're technically saving money on food - because if he were here he'd be ordering out twice a day AND making a monstrous dinner (AND MESS, DAMN IT) ... I've been eating once a day lol, and mostly eating what we have around the house... then I realized... hey... I could actually order something for myself for once!!!! I feel so special!!! Oh revenge shall taste sweet (it's not here yet - and I feel a little bit like my using his credit card is getting back at him for getting arrested and making me go through all this BS)

I'll get to the update soon - I'm going to split the update up. I'll do the indoor one tomorrow and the outdoor one tonight. Thanks for bearing with me, my jabbering mouth, and my restlessly typing fingers!

 

[Antics]

Guess what.. you suck. Now I want Pizza Hut! It's nice to see you looking on the bright side of things though. Just keep a positive attitude, and all will get better.

And you might want to consider entering one of your girls in the POTM contest. They're doing really well so far.

Hahaha sorry, but omg... it was Amazing. I feel 10 pounds fatter Lol. I even ordered hot wings... I'm a bad girl lol. I should have an ass the size of that lady's from the police department.. that was some critical (m)ass.

And aww thanks Ants, maybe I will - I just don't know if they're far enough along in flowering to get any votes. Getting 0 votes is no fun lol, would rather not even try. Competition is pretty fierce, every single time from what I see. I could use that prize pack though >.< I'd love to try some SNS products, not to mention all the other goodies. I think I'm definitely going to enter a nug for NOTM though hahah even though I didn't grow it. Lester just won with one he didn't grow - and it was beautiful, why not.

ALRIGHT. Outdoor Plant Porn Update!!!
I'm going to try and keep the commentary dialed down a bit more than my usual 10,000 words per pic LOL, and just let the plants speak for themselves. As far as plant maintenance, feeding, etc. I've only given my plants some Dr. Earth soft rock phosphate worked into the top couple inches of soil, along with some Microbe Life liquid myco's, and a touch of CaMg+ and a little BioThrive Bloom here and there (Mostly for the molasses that is in it, and a little alfalfa meal to keep things green) ... done some hair cuts, and hand training branches... otherwise most of what I'm doing is bud inspections for little caterpillars. I haven't seen any since it drizzled about 2 weeks ago, but it rained today and I can feel the moisture in the air.

There's also those gross, leg-sacrificing grasshopper/catydids that sit there and get fat sucking the juices out of your plant and munching on leaves. I found one Monster sized one on Juicy Lucy -.- -.- -.- and it jettisoned the leg I grabbed to get it off my plant, and hopped right onto another bud, then my face. Which all had me screaming like crazy and very grossed out >.< (shudders) but otherwise haven't seen any...they're good at hiding..

Well! lets get to the pics, or as a very funny and awesome British poster here would say, Pip Pip! and Tally Ho and Whatknot! - on to those Jolly 'Ol pics Miss Havisham! I crack myself up sometimes..

To start: Euphoria! Getting trichs all over her leaves, and smelling more diesel-fuely every day, but still is holding on to that citrus and black pepper terpene combo too. Its a complex and overpowering smell, going to be potent stuff, though maybe not a high yielder. I Highly recommend growing it.
You'll also notice I tried to highlight that spot where I broke off a top cola branch >.< surprisingly, the 2 lower growth nodes, are really filling out and getting frosty! Not a total loss huh? She looks a little droopy, I watered her afterward and she perked right back up.

Second up: Mini Mama =) starting to fill out nicely and take after her mama, but without that month-long lapse in health. Don't you love her canopy? Achieved with a crappy FIM and hand training alone lol. She's only just over a foot tall from where stem meets soil, my shortest plant... but I bet you guys I'll get 2 oz's out of her nonetheless.

Third up (and technically fourth): The Lucy Twins! ... and hahahaha, you might notice the other twins in the pics too.
They're actually starting to develop trichs, fill out a bit, and branch out...despite that they were put out in naturally flowering light immediately after rooting in the ghetto fabulous clone dome. 0 days Veg time. They also have trichs, though they're hard to get pics of, and like the other Lucy's they're slower in developing.

Fourth up: Big Mama Finally in the bulking up stage, harvest just a few weeks away, smelling absolutely divine. As much as I've f**ked with her, whatever she is, she's a resilient strain that isn't easy to mess up. I'm wondering what her yield will be like, since I've never grown a plant exactly like her before haha.. maybe 4-5 oz? What do you guys think? Sorry for the flash, I was having lighting issues, moved her around a lot. Oh - and Lester - the picket fence is for you!

Fifth on our tour: Mini Lucy! who has recently undergone some vigorous hand training, and one supercrop, to even out her canopy and splay out her growth in what I'm thinking of as a more natural-less stressful circle flux.

After seeing several outdoor fluxes done LA style, I'm kind of thinking...that all the vigorous training and lolipopping and extra time put into it, may lead to lower yields in a longer time outdoors. I've never done an LA style flux - so maybe I should be stoned for saying it lol - but perhaps, just perhaps, only some good defol and training to open up light penetration will serve you better outdoors than a full on LA indoor style flux in terms of yield:time. Just a thought, worth looking further into.
here she is though I just said f**k it and brought her inside, got tired of lighting issues lol. If I should do this more often speak up and I shall.

Here's the branch that was supercropped.

And her stem has REALLY gotten thicker since her transplant into the smart pot. I'm loving the fabric pots and the air pots. You can see it starting to tear that rockwool cube in half Lol.

Now our Sexy Sixth up: Juicy Lucy! Ok. I didn't bring her inside. I should have. But she had been watered earlier and so is heavier than hell. I only took a couple pics of her, but she's coming along great, trich production is picking up a touch, smells nice, is filling out. Yada yada here's the pics lol.

And our Sultry Seventh up, last but definitely not least, Black Bubba Kush!! (Black Domina x Bubba Kush)
She's getting her first trichs, is putting on some weight around the colas already, and has great node spacing as you can see. Bubba punch to the face smell, with just a little of a lighter sativa side to it than your typical Bubba Kush. She's my tallest outdoors because I let that main node achieve total apex dominance lol.... I don't mind that she wasn't trained, I'm sure I'll be really happy once I have that giant nug lol, probably the biggest I'll harvest this summer.

I noticed she has a little stowaway on board too Lol. Wonder what it is. Must be from the compost.

And..... it started raining pretty hard for a few minutes lol. So my plants are huddled together under my deck: this is when I realized, wow, I have like 70ish square feet of bud growing when packed together. hahahah..wow.

Well this is where I leave you friends, as is sung in "The Parting Glass", a beautiful Irish/Scottish folk song, goodnight, and joy be with you all!
P.S. I hope you enjoyed my update, I'll have a look at my indoor situation posted tomorrow. Cya!

I Loved your update!!!

Aw thank you my plant guru friend I'm so glad you did! I'm so excited about getting near to harvest.. I wish we could share in the lovely terpenes our plants are giving off. I know you'd enjoy Euphoria's complexity, BBK's strength, Mama's sweet hashy smell, and all the Lucy's light coffee and floral citrus smell.

I can only imagine how wonderful your plant's smells are off of BBxSM, Maui, Zilla, and who am I leaving out... right, Swiss Cheese ... but its certainly fun trying to imagine them I know how maui smells, with lots of coffee and spice in there, but also a nice floral fruity side. I also bet the SC's are smelling very Powerful, cheese is a strong smelling strain lol. I can only imagine BBxSM and Zilla... I love the smell of blueberry though... one of my all time favorites..

Stay relaxed kind Lester
