Welcome to my Beautiful Healing Brain Journal!
Brain/Grow Rehabilitation Behaviour:
Hello my fellow culti-vapor-ers...
. This week I continued to get ready for my CBD Oil treatments in a few weeks. I went and had all my blood work done, ECG and urine analysis, all recommended by my doctor. We are waiting to see if I officially avoided (hereditary) Diabetes since radically addressing a "pre-diabetes warning" in the past few months. In fact, I think I'm in better health now than I was in my drinking days. How can that be possible?...lol.
Also, I have been doing more research on supplements that will help my brain rehab therapy. I have come across a favourite omega provider that will definitely help with creating new brain cells. Fish oil is super enriched with omega3 good fats that are not only good for cleaning my arteries but is also the #1 recommended supplement for neuro-regeneration. Combined with CBD, how can I go wrong?
I found all this amazing info on brain stuff, sorry if this bores you, but I find it incredibly educational when it comes to brain health, neuro-genesis and preventing dementia. Everyone needs a healthy brain so you may be interested regardless. Having this in my journal is very helpful for my future reference for sure.
You probably don't know this but I hate eating fish. Aaand it's so darn expensive to buy fish oil capsules. So what did I find at my local supermarket, yes, in the flower section??? SALMON and FISH OIL grow nutrients. Instead of spending the money on daily supplements, I am using fish stuff in my grow to increase bio activity and assist in the regeneration of my brain too.
It smells just like fish chum. At first it made me gag, but now I have been smelling it for the past two weeks and I'm not put off by it at all. In fact, it's making my plants smell like the west coast beaches. Just by making oil from my CBD plants; I will be getting some Omega 3 supplement and that is the kinda innovative thinking I need. I'll use this for all my grows, better stock up.

Brain Info on Fish Oil Supplements----------May bore you alert-----------
"
The human brain is largely made of fat – 60% by dry weight.
One particular group of fats, the omega-3 essential fatty acids, is most important for the brain's structural integrity and performance. And one omega-3 fatty acid, docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), may be the single most important nutrient you can take for brain health throughout all stages of life.
DHA doesn't sound as exciting as the latest brain supplement but it's a foundational nutrient needed for a healthy, optimally functioning brain. Trying to build a healthy brain without it is like building a house on a foundation of Legos!
DHA: An Essential Building Block of the Brain
Essential fatty acids are those your body needs for health that can't be synthesized by your body – you have to get them from food or supplements.
Of all the essential fatty acids, the omega-3s are the most abundant in the brain where they are are the preferred building blocks of brain cell membranes and nerve cells.
There are three kinds of omega-3s – EPA, ALA, and DHA – with DHA unarguably being the most important for your brain. DHA accounts for 97% of the omega-3 fatty acids in the brain.
✓Omega-3 Supplements
Besides being a major structural component, DHA also plays a role in brain cell communication.
DHA facilitates neurotransmitter activity and increases the number of neurotransmitter receptors, allowing the brain to optimize the use of its feel-good brain chemicals like serotonin and dopamine.
Benefits of DHA in All Stages of Life
Just as you need calcium for strong bones, you need DHA for a strong nervous system.
DHA is needed throughout all stages of life for a healthy brain and mental well-being.
Fish Oil: Liquid Gold for Depression and Mood Disorders
DHA for Seniors and Mental Decline
If you could take only one supplement to stay mentally sharp as you age, it would be DHA.
People low in DHA have smaller brains that age faster than those with normal levels.
DHA can improve memory, learning, and age-related mental decline in healthy older adults.
✓Omega-3 Supplements
Having adequate levels of DHA can protect you from age-related mental decline and significantly reduce your risk of dementia and Alzheimer's.
Seniors with higher levels of DHA are 47% less likely to develop dementia and 39% less likely to develop Alzheimer's as people with low levels.
DHA for Mental Health
Having low levels of DHA means having a smaller brain and this shrinkage affects brain function.
DHA deficiency impairs functions like memory, problem solving, the ability to multitask, and thinking capabilities.
Low DHA levels have been linked to depression, ADHD, anger, and hostility.
Serious psychiatric disorders such as major depressive disorder, suicidal behavior, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia have been linked to DHA deficiency.
Military veterans with low levels of DHA are 62% more likely to commit suicide.
These enhancers work with your brain's own neurotransmitters to really improve your mental energy, clarity, focus and mood. You can see that DHA is one of the most important nutrients for your brain."
Let's start off on a positive note and check out this picture from the Dwarf Stars' Perspective.

What am I grateful for? "my weekly friends who shower me with empowerment."
Quote of the week: "Harvest is coming!"
My humble garden of positive change awaits you...
1. Type: CB Dream CLONES #1 - 4 (Mother born Oct 2, 2016)
Week: 17 weeks
Days: 112/ 39 days flower (12/12 started June 5, 2017)
Temp: 24-30 Degrees Celsius
RH: 55 - 65%
Strain: Indica
Technique: Clones, topped and LST
Comments:
*These clones are frosty and still budding. Hindsight; I should have used a screen to control the tops from falling over. When they fall over like in the pics they don't grow up like colas should. I have an idea for a screen next time I grow CBDream, which is right away, to prevent the stretch from collapsing my stalks. Then maybe I'll have some clones that are straight and proper. I love learning and then figuring out how to improve my processes. This has to be my fav strain for the time being.
CBDream Clone #1 & Kushie Kush
--------------------------------
I am relieved to say that the trichomes are cloudy and glistening. They are beautifully elongated mushroom shaped medicine. I have to be careful not to over grow these plants because I need them to be uplifting, not couch lock.
-----------------------------
I need less brain high and more body high, but I like to blend sativa and indica together. I think these ladies are gonna get the chop in two weeks. I got another CBDream seedling on the way, so it'll be great to correct my mistakes.
CBDream Clone #1-4 > 3 Gallon, Self-watering, LST & Topped
-----------------------------------
2. Type: Kushie Kush (Born March 4, 2017)

Comments:
*More KUSHion for the pushin! Grossly inappropriate but incredibly funny so it passes. Kush is pushing out frost like Vancouver Olympic winter games, in a hurry...lol.
-----------------------------------
*I've decided that I'm gonna chop her this week. Her trich's are cloudy and on the brink of amber. I am only feeding her water and then I'll put her in the dark. Really look forward to shhhmoking her and tasting her sweet juices...lol.
---------------------------------------
*Here is her centre bud without the lights on. She is naked in her natural state. Still trichome overload, yup she's a beauty.
------------------------------
3. Type: Kushie Kush CLONES ( Mother Born March 4, 2017)

Comments:
*STICKER ALERT!
------------------------------------
* The time of free-growing clones is O-ver. From now on I will be training my clones in order to rid myself of flaccid colas...lol. Had to say it...here are pics of them individually after I brought the ruckus and put them in their place. Now let's see if the Kushie Kush strain can handle some SNID training.
*Thank you for reading and giving feedback. Feel free to teach me stuff.
*if you take the risks, there's nothing we can't fix!
May brain health be with you.
