Weekly Update: The Tiny Closet - Friday, August 4, 2017
No roots on any clones. No pictures until tomorrow.
I'm in awe.
Devil's Carnival (Day 64, flip + 9) I don't care for the way the Way Ahead additive to the Brix foliar leaves these spots that look like mite damage.
I swear I'll stop using it. I don't see that it's making that distinct a difference to offset the lurch my heart takes every time I look in.
She's right on the edge of blossoms. Likely by tomorrow they'll erupt.
Can we say S-T-R-E-T-C-H?
Time to make an adjustment or two.
Alright, that bought me a little wiggle room.
Carnival 4.1 (Day 70, flip + 9) She's lagging behind in bloom, but probably only by a day. I'm getting excited guys. *giggle*. I come over here many time a day and giggle with glee. Hehe!
Good grief, they're beautiful, aren't they? I'm just.......... Yeah.
Next up - Tents full of bloomin' goodness.

Weekly Update: The Tents - Friday, August 4, 2017
Early Flowering Tent
Thin Mint GSC (Day 60, flip + 22) My tall one. You see why I need to exert more control with her clone?
All of the hempies now in the tents are water only with Osmo Plus distributed throughout the perlite. Today was watering day.
She has a delicate elegance about her.
She's larger than she appears in profile. I can't wait until the flowers start to turn purple.
Ultra Dawg (Day 92, flip + 23) Easily the most fragrant among the blossoming beauties. The smell smacks you as soon as the flap is opened.
Just covered with frostiness! I don't know how long she'll take to mature, but she has well over a month left. This is a good sign.
CBD Critical Cure 2.2.1 (Day 91, flip + 9) Looking like a queen when she was out for her foliar at the crack of dawn.
Here come the blossoms!
Finish Flowering Tent
Candy Cane 2 (Day 82) Looking her over I'd say she still has almost a month to go.
The lower blossoms are beginning to go through initial pistil change, but she's still cranking it out.
Definately not the prettiest plant I've grown, but she'll get the job done. The daughter is looking forward to that first pan of brownies. Lol!
Carnival 4 (Day 129, flip + 70) I would never have believed that a plant with leaves this compromised could put on this much weight.
Still pumping pistils out at a rediculous rate.
CBD Critical Cure 2.1.1) I caught her before lights came on today. I completely forgot about taking pictures while she was out to get sprayed with her Brix + Way Ahead foliar this morning, but these came out looking so cool I had to include them.
The next couple weeks will be a dramatic change in appearance.
And that, ladies and gentleman, concludes the nickle tour. I can't express enough how it warms my heart to be able to share all this wonder with you. It's hard for me to remember the time before my garden. I wouldn't want to be isolated with all this joy, so how thankful am I to Rob and the back room crew that keep all of this running smoothly so I can play in these digital streets with all of you.
That joy these pictures and all my enthusiasm generated needs an outlet. Get out there and spread it everywhere you can. It'll end up with more joy in your life than you give away. How cool is that?
This took a bit longer to pull together than I anticipated. Lol! I have things awaiting my attention. I'll catch up with all of you later.

Why thank you DrDoob. I do my best to keep you all entertained.
Hahaha! That's what I thought when I looked in there this morning.
Thank you Ditch.
The Malawi may turn out to be as unruly as your Tangie. I've never grown one like her before.
Loving that carnival 4!

Bet you never buy scented candles. It would only subtract from the orgasmic perfume of your plants. . . .
Happy Friday Sue 
Shall we have a little party for 200 pages? Like I need an excuse.

Jewel weed is the natural antidote to poison ivy. In the wild they typically grow in close proximity. It's really a wonder how quickly the plant's gel will stop the progression of the poison in the system. Plant some next to a stream, if you have that option. It'll take off really well in that environment.
Somewhere in the far reaches is a memory of a natural insect repellent for biters. If it creeps to the forefront I'll make certain to let you know. What keeps pushing through is lavender. Try some lavender essential oil dabbed on the cuffs of your jeans and other spots on your clothing next time you go out.
My mother always kept some sprigs in her pocket that she'd squeeze periodically when she worked in the garden. I just realized this was why she did this.
Well, clearly you've inherited your super clever green thumb from your Mum!
And I've always had a little love affair with lavender. I've never not grown it in ridiculous quantities in my gardens. I've also always had a little bunch hanging from my rear-view mirror in my car (supposed to have magical qualities for protection). And when my brother got mugged leaving a nightclub once, I raced into the hospital with a sprig, which he squeezed and sniffed and managed a satisfied smile...as it's a natural sedative.
An amazingly useful plant.

You know, I've had my wife and a good friend tell me they got no detectable buzz from a sativa that had me flying high. It's definitely not the same kind of buzz, but I get the grins and laughs. Normally I partake a bit on the heavy side to get there, but it's so worth it.
You should try some Ace Malawi if you don't notice the sativa buzz. That's a hard one to miss.
I enjoy adding in some indica, but it feels too much like being drunk to me in large doses. I only do that if I want to sleep. I'm far to lazy of person to smoke indica regularly.

Haha! Laughed right out loud Morglie.
This is me to a T. If I didn't run on high octane sativas I'd get nothing done. Lol! I'd be sitting around dreaming of things I'd like to be doing. I smoke indicas when I want to fall asleep. Too heavy for me. Like you, they make me feel drunk, in their way. Heavy in the eyes and lethargic. I don't work well like that. I want the thoughts clear and inspired and the body ready to go on a moment's notice. Couch lock pisses me off.

Delightful! It's the terpenes. We think it's the cannabinoids, but much of what we associate as the euphoric experience of particular strains is really terpenes working with cannabinoids.

Pharmaceuticals.......I'm beginning to see them in a new, disturbing light. Side effects that get blown off as "minor." Things like depression or anxiety. Consider the effects of these drugs on individuals already anxious or depressed. We play with fire.
The daughter has breathing issues that we initially thought needed surgery, but after testing it was determined that she was a better candidate for Nasonex. The stuff burns going in, and when I say that you think momentarily, don't you? Not for my baby. Think twenty minutes, minimum.
She worked through that, because she was suddenly able to breathe more clearly, though not completely. Snoring decreased dramatically. These were worth a little pain, eh?
When the partner developed depression that required medication and the meds needed adjusting it was easy to attribute the near-suicidal anxiety that started to build to the stress of dealing with his depression. She knows depression. She knows how not to try to fix it. Her own anxiety appeared to peak and wane. The partner's meds began to work. She was doing better. That worked well.
Then she realized she'd used the inhaler for a month, believing it had a month's supply when it only had 15-days worth. When she refilled it the connection to the anxiety wasn't made. That connection happened today, a week into her new inhaler, when she found herself hearing that voice that insists she's not worth keeping alive again. Then she made the connection to the rising anxiety that she'd been dealing with for a few days. It built until she woke this morning under a dark, dark cloud that she couldn't explain.
She came to me instead of reaching for something sharp. My first question was "What did you take today?" We both understood I wanted to be certain she was on her cannabinoid meds. She assured me she'd taken her capsules, but nothing else. She turned down the wax I keep for her and filled me in on what she was challenged with.
It's hard guys, watching your baby suffer like this, but I have to tell you, her therapy is working in ways we never imagined. In the midst of battling the demon she said her rational mind stepped in and gained enough control that she came to me instead. This is new behavior for her. Totally new. We can only assume that her ECS has recovered enough that the receptors in her brain are beginning to function properly, at least in the realm of rational thought in the midst of emotional chaos.
After we discussed the situation for about ten minutes I asked if she wanted that hit yet. This time she said yes, so I loaded the pen and handed it to her, but asked her to do an emotional check before to give herself a comparison on the mood shift after the hit. Then I sat back and watched all that tension and anxiety fall off her like a discarded blanket.
All this time and it still stuns her how quickly cannabis changes reality back to the real now. I recall Bryan Krumm mentioning that during his stints on the suicide hotline he'd often ask if the caller had any cannabis available. If the answer was affirmative he'd recommend they go take a few hits and call him back. Invariably they'd return in a dramatically improved emotional tone.
So, it's ok to prescribe a medication that hurts her to use and causes her to become suicidal, but the medication that levels her emotional tone without side effects is illegal to grow and dispense.
Land of the free huh? You could fool me.
She won't be using the inhaler anymore. She'll live with the breathing problem and look for holistic modalities. And she'll keep that pen loaded with wax next to her real close until this shit works its way out of her system. *sigh* At least it's two steps forward before the step back. We're still moving in the right direction. She came through like a champ, and I think she'll reach for the cannabis earlier instead of later from now on.
I'll run out of that wax at some point. I'll have to come up with some way to make it myself. Won't that be fun?

Many of my girls are completely naked when they come to harvest. Between heat events and the small containers, large fan leaves can be very rare indeed. I'm often impressed as well.
Speaking of rare... my presence around these parts has been mighty rare... good to see things rolling so well.

I lost a friend last month to mental illness and depression. His mother is a big fan of pharmaceuticals and believes the marijuana propaganda. She kept him from cannabis and insisted he take his pills. He was 26.
Land of the free. He's gone and I'm more angry than ever about this prohibition $***.
