SweetSue's Perpetual 2.0 - The Transition To Doc Bud's HBB Kit

[Radogast]

Caught a few nice shots of the CBD Critical Cure 2.1.1. She's at day 104, 24 days from flip.

Your CBD Critical Cure looks a lot different than mine - I got the sativa leaning pheno (or is that 'leaning sativa pheno' )

I'll try to get a better looking photo of her sometime when the big yellow light is off.

At the first of the month, I asked her if she wanted to come out for a photo shoot but she said she doesn't want to move until harvest

I love a plant with attitude. Lol! Yours is amazing Rad. I clone this indica-leaning one because the daughter is sensitive to the sativa terpenes, and I'd guess you're gonna get a stronger pinene expression in that girl. I'm thinking it might be the pinene or limonene that she reacts to. I'd sure like to stop and taste that one some day to compare. Envy.

Aloe Vera sprouted in 2 weeks for me, but it takes YEARS to grow a good sized Aloe Vera from seed.

The best way to get an Aloe Vera is to get a 'pup' from a friend. Aloe spawn off little copies of themselves from the roots.
The pups grow to full size plants in a couple of months.

One can also buy an Aloe Vera plant from a florist or garden center.


They live a long time. I have one that is decades old.


Aloe Vera seedlings: April 2015

The same Aloe Vera seedlings (in the same pot): July 2017

This is my pup today Rad. I don't remember when you sent it to me, or I'd have dug out the photo, and she's in too little soil, but she keeps plugging along.

This dried and shriveled piece was the pup you sent. It was just one slip with some roots attached.

Thanks Sue, I was hoping you had a picture of the pup, becuase it was smaller than those seedlings I have, and yet it grew faster than they will

Hi CHED,

I so agree with you, Sue has her fingers on the most wonderful set of journals you will ever learn from! I too, suffer from PCS, a double (two axis) concussion 4 years ago... I sure know what you are talking about with memory issues. I ended up with PTSD, too. (gunfire (hunters), cannon fire, fireworks aka 4th of July stuff - if I can't hear it, I'} I'm ok.

I'm content to know I can always go back in these annals, tomes of info, if I have to. My learning process is slow, but I get there eventually. Please know you are not alone!

Enjoy SweetSue, she is the best... I've plagued her with silly questions, or what I thought were dumb questions... all questions are worth answering, even if they have been answered before (this site has the WORST search function I've ever encountered!). Ask away. Sue also has wonderful contributors that share their research and knowledge. Following and reading their journals is the next overwhelming task I have to do! Everyone is wonderful in SweetSue's circles!

Welcome!

So the Adventure continues...

Thank you Lady Dory, glad to be here and I couldn't agree with you more . I hate to use the words "I'm glad to have met another PCS victim with memory loss" but I will because I am. I have encountered alot of people who can't quite understand the depth and frustration this causes. I don't remember my child hood or good times with my family. I remember that we did certain things but have no real memories of them. Hard to explain although I'm sure you understand. It was a factor in me losing my wife to be in my opinion as she never could fully comprehend. This 420 family, in a way, has helped me move past the thing I can't change and try to better myself for me.

There ya go Jim. And how was it????



Well hello CHED, and to my joyful journal. Cannabis holds great potential as a source of neuroprotection and evidence is growing of the potential for repair. Exciting times ahead. Ten years of memory challenge had to have taught you some impressive survival skills.

So, may I ask, what medicinal relief, if any, do you feel you get from cannabis CHAD? Cannabis has the side effect of helping one forget memories caught in the emotional loop. Does it in any way cause more memory concerns?



I am surrounded by the most amazing people, and they love to share. We burn through quite a few pages around here. Lol!

You're gonna make me blush girl.



Good to hear. I'll watch for the change.





No need to apologize. It's a PITA getting those shots to be clear. You did well. I stopped and checked out the whole pictorial display and left a comment. Typically I'd wait a while longer, hoping for the pistils to change and begin to really pull back, but you have lots of cloudy and a decent smattering of amber, so watch them closely.

I thank you for your warm welcome. You surround yourself with so many joyful people your journal just shines a light through the dark.

I love this forum for many reasons. Aside from the family type community and helpfully people I find the resource for updates on different medical studies and testimonials very motivating.

To answer your question I find I get more benefit than I do negative effects. As for neurological effectiveness for reducing seizures I can't really speak for as I am a long term smoker and have smoked since before I was diagnosed. After I was I started studying the effects of cannabis and epilepsy because I was worried about my potential for having a seizure after smoking. There was alot of info out there. For me i find it helps alot with the depression side effect from cracking my head open on a piece of steel lol. I assume that's what you meant by emotional loop. Thinking of the incident over and over and obsessing about the loss. Correct me if I'm wrong.

I'll be sticking around to watch and learn.

Smoke green and prosper

Impressive Rad. Is that curl caused by heat?

Sure, I'll share that CHAD. ahhhh.... Just finished a session of Callanetics, and you'd expect working the body that intensely this late in the day would wear me out, but it surprises me every time and recharges me. I'll need to break out the Chem Dawg to wind down here soon.

Why certainly, I'll have another.

I was thinking more along the lines of the cannabis making it harder to remember things. The obsessive loop? That's grief. I learned to embrace it and move on, but I'm an outlier in many respects, and my approach to grief was all my own. Lol!

You're looking at it backwards CHAD. You see loss, and I can certainly appreciate how that feeling gained the upper hand in that loop, but the reality is you'll look back on the event at some point and consider it the best thing that could have happened. At this point in time you're a little too close to be able to see the benefits, but trust me, they're right in front of you, and when you recognize them you'll probably laugh at how obvious it was.

It's just one of those quirks in life. It sucks that the person who you needed to understand the most chose not to, but that only suggests to me that somewhere out there is a better fit for you. Another of those cosmic quirks we don't often recognize until we run right smack into the love of our life. Lol!

You caught me in a philosophical mood CHAD. We can blame it on the cannabis.

A little Chem Dawg?

Rad frequently says things that cause me to use the 'oogle. But I got nuthing on this one. I will search again later.

I must learn everything....

I got this one from the grocery store, was about 1/4 the size it is now.

He's mighty good at that. Plus, he'll help you dig and join you along your educational journeys.... it's always better to have company along.

He's referring to the upwards curly-cue at some of the leaf tips. There are more pronounced examples on BoBrown14's Devil's Tit...

Hey Sue. Happy Day to you. Just wanted to send a proper thank you.

Thank you so much!! The Mango Haze are supposedly 3-4 days out

Does the duck have curly feather tips? I did get a ton of returns about the duck but was not sure if it applied

I could use the company. Especially if someone knows a good bail bonds man, cheap. ; - )

The curl in the tail is a trait shown in male (Drake) Mallards. Hope that was Rads reference otherwise I'm quite curious too

Oh my goodness mouser, I'm sooo excited for you. Lol! Before I walked into this room I spotted your name on TOAST's journal and thought "I wonder if one came up yet?"

Mango Haze.... I'll blend it with CBD Critical Cure and come somewhere close to the CBD Mango Haze in effect. I think that'll work, don't you?

Good afternoon everyone

I keep getting distracted by things this morning. I joined Pigeons 420 on YouTube for our daily visit and he unpacked a new light he's product reviewing, a Unit Farms UFO80. Then a video of the best LEDs of 2017 caught my eye, and I got to thinking about how I don't pay enough attention to the distance from the light dependant on stage of growth, and how much my plants would appreciate it if I paid more attention to light stress, so I moved the seedlings and new clones a bit further from the light.

While I was watching the video up popped the unit that Pigeons had just inboxed. Lol! Lucky little birdman. His seedlings and clones will do well under that light.

Then I went to check on everyone. I stand in amazement that this Carnival not only continues to grow but puts on so much weight day to day, considering she has so little green in her leaves to generate energy.

I'm pretty sure the burnt leaves were overspray from Brix. Not 100% certain, but her leaves were fragile to begin with. I've since taken to removing the plant that's scheduled to be Brixed, so no one else gets hit. The hempy pots have no way to utilize that foliar. It's either that or she hit a major concentration of osmo that I didn't disperse well enough. This poor plant has struggled to get enough energy from the beginning, and yet she's the heaviest of them all. She keeps packing the pistils on.

I just remembered I have some Terpinator sitting out next to the sink. I should take to using that in these later stage plants, at least. I'll do that tomorrow. They both have a ways to go, by my estimate. This one is 114 days old, 57 of which have been under 12/12. That means we have at least two weeks left.

She's gonna make me proud.

I've had to admit to myself that Candy Cane is another photo, just one I choose to grow under 12/12 from seed, so she started flowering earlier. She's 68 days old now, which means she should be done any day now if she was the auto they believed her to be when they sent me the seeds. No way will she be done in a day or two. I'd guess another two to three weeks.

I peeked into the early flower tent. Nice uniform shade of green going in here.

Ahh..... I need to get my butt up off the mat and get outside, unrelenting heat or not. We'll be walking tonight instead of last evening, and we're doing it indoors at a local mall to take advantage of the air-conditioning. I feel a need to get out into the world for at least a few minutes. All this joy needs some outlet.

I encourage age you to enhance the functioning of your own endocannabinoid system and get out there to let your own stores of joy leak out onto those you meet as you move through the day. It'll make you happier, healthier, and accelerate the closing of the time gap between desire and manifestation. All by letting go of the tension and allowing yourself to be joyful.

Have fun spreading joy. I know I will.

Senator John McCain has been diagnosed with brain cancer. Over at the study hall we were discussing how much noise a conservative senator from a legal state might make if he had the balls to try cannabis and eliminated his cancer, a totally viable proposition.

Dave Groomer provided us with Sen. McCain's contact address, should anyone feel the urge to send him a link to their favorite thread or post or whatnot having to do with the healing potential of our favorite plant. I thought it might be nice to offer that address to all of you as well. The family says they're exploring all options.

Here is where you can go to send him a message. Share Your Opinion - United States Senator John McCain I am sending Cajun's thread.

The karmic resonance is strong, isn't it? You get what you give in life. That should make John pause and consider the trajectory of his life path, wouldn't you think?
