Stunger Tries Trough Growing And Attempts Fluxing On His Organic Living Soil Balcony

[Stunger]

But now that I'm remembering, when you say you eat it, you're doing cobs, right?

If so, can you share your experience? Taste, impact, length of time to impact and duration, various ways to use it, stuff like that?

Currently and for the last almost 3 months I have only had decarbed bud, which I have either taken plain or with a couple of squares of chocolate.

Re Cobs; Altho I haven't had any in recent months, but when I have, I just gouge a bit off a cob with my thumbnail or knife, and chomp it down, some folk try to first chew it for 20-30 minutes but I generally just give a quick light chew and swallow it down with some water or coffee, I feel the effect is similar either way, similar with effects to ingesting decarbed bud. I have tried vaping Cob, but it didn't work that great due to it being more resinous than regular dried bud and therefore it is probably better sprinkled in a joint and combusted than vaping it.

I try to stay clear of malto because of the spike in blood sugar, which is very noticeable to me having given up sugar back in the 80s.

I think that is very sensible. This is a first time for me, to know someone get diagnosed as 'pre-diabetic'. I never expected it so it is a timely wakeup call for myself to be aware that causes of it that I am also guilty of.

Having seen that one of the side effects of maltodextrin is weight gain I'd rather go for the tapioca. I don't follow GI because I don't have a blood sugar problem, so I don't know, is 85 good or bad? I have so little complex carbs in my diet, which consists mainly of unprocessed animal protein and fats, fruit and veg.

I don't have a problem with my blood sugar either, but my partner's very recent pre-diabetic diagnosis shows how a healthy person with a previously healthy blood sugar response can develop ill health when blood sugar levels spike repeatedly over time. Or, as someone once said, your genes load the gun but the environment pulls the trigger.
Only after my partner's diagnosis did we realise that she exhibited a number of symptoms relating to her body beginning to struggle dealing with changes to her blood sugar levels, things like dizziness, fatigue and being thirsty don't necessarily stand out as warning signs but she also started getting nerve 'tingles' in her hands/feet. It can progress to becoming quite serious if nothing is done.

EDIT, sorry Stunger I thought for a moment this was the cooking thread. There's a whole discussion there about this. Sorry!

Haha Carmen, all good. I used to enjoy vaping and smoking, but my lungs never liked it. So as I get older I'm finding edible options are a good alternative for me. Age is saying I need to adjust my expectations and I'm doing so.

An update on where I'm at.

Greetings everyone, just a quick update to explain my delay in kicking off a new grow.

I have had to organise getting the house repainted along with some weatherboard repairs here and there. After a few weeks of arranging it is kicking off right now today, with the painters currently water blasting the heck out of the exterior. As growing weed isn't legal in my country I can't be having any plants growing in the open for tradesmen to see. Hopefully the house painting work will all be completed by Christmas.

So I am not going to have sufficient time to grow any photoperiods, but all going well I should hopefully be able to kick off a redemption grow with Autos. For what it is worth the ones I have on hand are as follows;

Dark Devil Auto - Sweet Seeds
Blue Dream'matic - Fastbuds
Panana Lime - Super autos by Stitch
Gelato Auto - Herbies

So all going well I should at least be able to make a selection from the above and get the trough growing some green again!

Best wishes to everyone. I hope your grows are going well and unhindered, I will be dropping in to check them out.

Glad all is well and the reason for your absence is circumstantial. In the meantime:

Including that Dark Devil in an auto redemption grow is brave Stunger!

 

[Carmen Ray]

Glad yer fine and that your house will be given a fresh lick of paint! Looking forward to the auto grow!

 

[ThirdUncle]

Nice to hear from u stunger ,, glad all is well ✌

 

[StoneOtter]

Nice to see you're going to make the best of things Stunger! They'll be fun to grow and smoke! I adored Dark Devil for its taste and look both growing, and in jars!

 

[Timhomegrow]

Fastbuds Blue Dream'atic is a great strain!! Can't wait to see it.

It's a pain when we need work done in the house when growing. Makes me nervous too

Hello you!

Cant wait for your grow! It’s just not summer without a Stunger grow!

Hey thanks all, appreciate it!

The exterior of the house was a worry as it needed doing, but 'should' soon be good for few years and by then I guess we'll be moving to something needing less upkeep except hopefully the continued possibility of a cannabis grow, even better would be a legal one, it seems it gone that way in a lot of places, hopefully here one day.

I have known for a while that the house needed painting but the thought of having a 2 year growing gap really put me off. So being able to get it started now and potentially having it all done by Christmas, wow, I can still enjoy getting a grow in. But Autos, and they often don't like being trained too much and I have to keep them below the balcony rail planter level to keep the grow as stealthy as possible.

Re That Dark Devil; When grown well, so many have said it is quite special, I only have 1 seed so I'll be hoping for a tail no screw ups.

And Blue Dream'matic; is another that several folks have said is their favourite which always gets attention from me, one said it was his single desert island choice, but mine is only the 1 seed so it'll be another fingers crossed moment.

The Panama Lime and Gelato Auto; sound great but I'm not aware of anyone's opinion of them

Anyway I hope to soon be joining you all, elbows out and doing a grow again!

Happy Sunday Stunger Have you grown many autos? The reason I ask is that it is now widely considered a myth that autos do not like training. Take a look at Con's plants this grow.. He's nailed LST.

This was part of the upgrade recently. The links connect and show a preview to the actual post being referenced in the source thread. It used to show the first post on the page of the thread instead of the actual post, until it was clicked on.

That one I'm not familiar with. If it's something you want them to look into, post it in the "website help & feedback" forum, with details like pc use or smartphone app. etc. and screenshots of what's happening. (screenshots and detailed information are extremely helpful so the web guy can reproduce it and find out what's wrong)
I will be posting something soon on the "latest activity" tab that is irritating me. LOL

Lol, LCF Azi has already spoken to them about this. It must be quite something to pull this whole site experience together as the IT admin!

I connected with Marc Ocean about it and he's put in the ask.

I use(d) bookmarks extensively before the latest upgrade when its functionality was lost. It worked great before but now, not so much .

Thanks Carmen, I hope you enjoyed a great day too. I certainly will be taking a look at Con's autos and others to glean some info on growing autos from those far more experienced than I. His plants look great in the tent.

So far I have only grown 3 autos, 2 were short bottle brush type CBD plants that never got high and each one yielded barely half an ounce, bugger all. The 3rd was a Gorilla Glue that yielded nearly 4 Oz, for that I used LST but I'd much prefer to top or supercrop like a photoperiod if height threatens to escalate. I'll have to check how advised or not that approach is.

Carmen's thoughts on growing and training autos will likely be echoed by other auto growers like @Justin Goody @Carcass @Jon and others.

Just don't follow Jon's lead on his as his plants are too monstrous for the stealth that you seek.

And whenever I plan to keep them smaller....well they like to laugh at that and get huge.
