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

If you ever need another lunatic to talk to - I'm only a PM away

Haha thanks DeVille! Same goes for you and anybody else! I always love to help people that's also one of the main reason I became a volunteer on the ambulance.

Beating the heat with an a.c. window unit and a dehumidifier. Keeps the room at about 75-80 degrees and 35 - 45% humidity. 65% without it during veg.

I'm impressed. I struggle to keep conditions stable, particularly in the finish tent. Reading this reminded me to plug that floor fan in.

that could be due to high brix,

I grew a Vanilla Kush organic and it was dark green big fat leaves and buds.

the next one in kit soil was way more satavish, thin leaves, thinner buds.,

others notice this on indicas also.

This hadn't occurred to me until just now Hash Hound, but I recall Doc saying once that the kit will accentuate sativa influences. When you make CCO from the harvest it also brings out the sativa traits, which suddenly lit up my brain with understanding. The terpene profile for sativas must be of a heartier bent than those typically found in those strains we think of as indicas. Hmmm..... food for future investigation.

Most definitely. The only way humans know what's "real" is by receiving feedback from the other humans around us.

And ... reality is merely a human construct, anyway. We're the only ones that define it. It's whatever all we humans agree it is. And to this day, knowing what's real just doesn't help predict the future the way it should. Darn those "exceptions" - yeah that's what they are. We're quite the conceited species.

I particularly like this idea we've constructed that were the only true sentient beings because we can communicate with each other. All around us is evidence that the rest of the animal kingdom not only communicate with their own species but often clearly jump the gap to understanding and communication with other species. Lol!

We are a piece of work, eh?

I have a great deal of empathy for that. Had mental problems my entire life. My gf has PTSD so we're a fun couple Two traumatized people trying to survive together. So sorry to hear your struggling.

I like that idea, you and her, standing solid as a unit against what the rest of the race chooses to express. Unconditional love is the best healing balm on the planet.

May I ask, just because I'm curious DeVille, how old were you when you started to use cannabis?

Good morning everyone

Living with air conditioning today. Right now, beyond the protective glazing, it's 77 degrees with 81% RH and a dew point of 71 degrees. It's not going to get much hotter, but it is going to increase in humidity. If I'm hoping to get to the store and return dry I better get out the door sooner than soon. Lol!

I walked over to the tiny closet today and realized this pair looks surprisingly like Rad's girls.

I moved the light over DC up a few more clicks, then stood there and contemplated ways to get them mounted up even higher. Somethings gonna have to give here, because when I flip her on the 4th she's gonna likely get somewhat taller than even this space can easily accomodate.

Ahhh..... the joyful challenges of a cannabis cultivator.

Alright, I need to get to the store before the storms move in. I'll catch up to you all later.

Great news! I have nanners

Why is this great news? Well - They're autos and they're grown just for fun. It's my 0.5 liter air-pot mods from the growing challenge thread that is displaying nanners now. I kinda confused the shit out of them by putting them from 24/0 to 12/12 and then from that into the sunshine outside. So now it get's light 24/7 again. Sunlight in the day and LED in the night.

Great news why?

Well - I have a big bud and a pure power plant filling up a scrog in my 120x120x200 tent. Thinking I should pollinate those two with the jack's. After reading the Devil's carnival thread I know I will get some auto seeds and some photo seeds. The photo seeds will probably become a very nice strain. Jack Herer with huge buds would for example be fantastic.

Thank you for the clear documentation. I'll have to blog this example.

I deleted my facebook account. now 420 is the only social media I have. That helped on my anxiety levels a lot! All this people and their likes on Facebook has been a stress element in my life for years

i haven't deleted mine, but I never stop there anymore. There are friends from the Jamaican trip that I track, and then I turn tail and run away from that forum. Isn't it interesting how those "Like" buttons don't feel the same way over in this neighborhood? When I found I walked away from the madness that Facebook's become.

I had a good laugh at how many of us can legitimately say the same thing.

Trichs getting milky

I was 15 when I started using cannabis. Back then it was only hash. That was all you could get here back then. Moroccan hash is the Europe default. At least in the parts of Europe where it's not legal. I tried to grow a plant when I was that young. Outside in the forest. Had no idea what I was doing, so I "harvested" the plant after one month of vegg Then I tried to dry it in the car using the car heating system

Good old days

15... I joined the army when I was 15. Jesus that time was special. I had my first mission when I was 16 and now I'm not even 20 and having PTSD. Life is strange isn't it?

 

[Skullman420]

Life is very unfair. You're too young to suffer like that

Started smoking when I was 15, released my first album when I was around 22. Did my first world-tour when I was 26. Now I am 43 and very very tired

 

[SweetSue]

I agree, too young for all that suffering, and then you expect it to just blow over? Cannabis can help heal that discordant resonance in the neuronal world and help recreate peace.

I had a quiet life, by many standards. The last twenty years of his life - more than half our time together - we were in continuous survival mode. Thank God I excell at both joy and unconditional loving, and I married a mate who shared those values. But it took a toll.

Now I'm reinventing a more youthful me, one joyful deliberate waking at a time, and I get stopped almost daily by neighbors commenting on how much better I look now. I'm growing younger, right before their eyes, and it was this community that started that trajectory.

Who'd have thought that a cannabis site could turn out to be its own version of a fountain of youth?

It's a weird thing. I'm not even 20 that makes me one of the youngest service members of my division that has PTSD since the Vietnam war. It doesn't really bother me because I was prepared for it. Not being able to sleep at night until 3 or 4 AM and waking up at 10 AM is good enough for me but it's not really a good thing though. Me being so young and having PTSD is for me an opertunity to experience what it actually is and what works best to get rid of it. I'll be fine eventually and then get back out in the field again. But I do have to say, being surrounded by people who don't really care about it isn't really helping. Sure I got you guys on here and people from the army I'm still friends with. But my family I can't count on and my normal friends don't even know that PTSD exists and what it is so I'm basically on my own. So, it's getting interesting, as crazy as I am I know my way around with the worst things.

So, let's go to war.

You're never on your own rik. You have this virtual neighborhood that knows no time limits. Anytime of the day or night there's any number of members to link up to and sort out what needs tending to, or simply to touch base and soak up all the love and concern.

Laughter is the best medicine, and I have yet to find another community that laughs as deeply and freely as this one.

Yeah you're right on that one!

 

[Skullman420]

There has been a lot of succesfull clinical trials with misc substances It's against the rules to talk about here. But there is in particular a "party-drug" that has shown great results on ptsd. It's interesting

[Skullman420]

That's right. 420 means a lot to me. more and more for every day that passes by. It's so increadible to be able to find people you share this interest with. We may be criminals (at least some of us) but we're doing something good for humanity. Fuck the authorities.

What happens when you get stoned every single day for five years?

The Washington Post article, published on Feb. 1, 2015 by Christopher Ingraham describes a study done that determined the seemingly detrimental effects of daily consumption of cannabis, long-term. Gave me a chuckle. This little excerpt explains the test they used.

The relationship between marijuana exposure and memory problems was essentially linear. The more pot people smoked, the worse they performed on the memory tests. But just how much worse?

Let's say we have two groups of 10 people each. You tell each of them a list of 15 words and ask them to memorize them. Then 25 minutes later, you ask them to recall all of the words to the best of their ability.

The first group consists of 10 people who don't smoke pot or only do so occasionally. Let's say on average, people in this group would be able to remember nine out of the 15 words.

The second group consists of people who smoked pot every single day over a period of five years. On average, they'd be able to recall 8.5 out of the 15 words.

That doesn't seem like a huge cognitive difference, and by and large it's not. But multiply that by every five marijuana years of exposure and the gap can start to get larger. For instance, say you had a group of people who smoked weed literally every single day from age 20 until they turned 45. At age 45, you'd expect these folks to remember, on average, 2.5 fewer words as a comparable group who had smoked occasionally or not at all over the same period.

Ok, so I'm 63, and excepting the eight years that I forced us to stop, I've smoked every day for the past 36 years. What are my chances guys? Am I demonstrating a failure to communicate due to my continuious buzz?

All I could think of as I chuckled my way through this article was "These guys have never met anyone like Graytail, or Tead, or Tourtured Soul, or......." You get the picture. Lol!

 

[Graytail]

Lol, I quit trying to memorize stuff back in high school. Better to achieve understanding. Details are of limited use for that. I bet chronic users understand life better than straight folks. It's not as simple as just following along like good sheep.

This is the third time today I read this and ended up falling over with laughter. The car heating system...

Lol

I was cronicly high in high school....best crammer ever...straight A's....why learn crap when I can cram, stoned, and Ace the test...nice...now I can skip 3rd period and get high again....

Great news! I have nanners

Why is this great news? Well - They're autos and they're grown just for fun. It's my 0.5 liter air-pot mods from the growing challenge thread that is displaying nanners now. I kinda confused the shit out of them by putting them from 24/0 to 12/12 and then from that into the sunshine outside. So now it get's light 24/7 again. Sunlight in the day and LED in the night.

Great news why?

Well - I have a big bud and a pure power plant filling up a scrog in my 120x120x200 tent. Thinking I should pollinate those two with the jack's. After reading the Devil's carnival thread I know I will get some auto seeds and some photo seeds. The photo seeds will probably become a very nice strain. Jack Herer with huge buds would for example be fantastic.

I'm not sure what those growths are on the stalks, but they aren't what I call nanners.
'nanners are about 3 times the width of a pistil and found nestled in the bud where pistils emerge

Here is a link to my one and only 'nanner hunt with more pictures ==> Rado's 'nanner hunt
