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

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.
.

Fan leaves are a rarity for me also. Small pots and a lazy gardener make for plants like this. CBD Critical cure at 6 weeks of 12/12

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 $***.

:hugs::hugs::hugs::hugs::hugs:

The anger is understandable, but you know you can't stay angry, or you attract things you don't want into your life. Gently allow yourself to forgive. Your friend is in a place now that holds on to none of what happened to him. He's in a place of eternal bliss, the same place you can enter at any point in your life, and he knows you'll get past this too.

Time heals all things FlowerNose, even this great wrong that you carry with you. :hugs::hugs::hugs:
 
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. :straightface:

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? :laughtwo:
I'm glad she has you Sue....she is one lucky lady

As for yer wax issues, I recently made some, it's really easy, kinda, lol

Holler and I'll edumacate ya

Good morning everyone :Love:

Just finished a live wake 'n bake with Pigeons, and let me tell you, five hits of Malawi over the span of a half hour or so first thing in the morning is............ I hope I get through this post. :laughtwo: Haha! Had to type the code for that emoticon three times. :rofl:

Ahhhh...... Morglie inspired me to make it a Malawi day, and Mother Nature has stepped up to offer the perfect day for a river stroll. Not a power walk, a casual celebration steeped in gratitude for the joy of living in this beautiful valley on this sparkling day. Bold, dramatic clouds rolling above verdant bluffs. Heavy rains yesterday suggest an energetic river awaits. I've always appreciated that our local geology keeps development along our bluffs at bay. It allowed the city to become one of the greenest in the country. From every window in my apartment the views are filled with dramatic skies and lush greenery.

As you can see, Malawi has an effect on my creativity and spirituality. :laughtwo: Let me get out there and enjoy the natural world. I have some thoughts on upticking gratitude to explore. Are you having a remarkable Saturday as well? Good. :battingeyelashes: :Love: Keep it up. The universe thanks you for it in the most amazing ways. :cheesygrinsmiley:

Ok, something on topic to increase the joy levels.

Damn Sue, making me rethink my whole mood these past few weeks, while starring at the Nasonex bottle in front of me, you are for sure right... I was just blaming it on my stupid headaches, but my lack of motivation and drive wasn't making any sense, they have indeed started closely after getting the nasal spray... will for sure stop using it and see how it goes from here. You don't even need prescription here for this, it's sold like candy and encouraged to use for everybody. To be honest I haven't consulted some physician for a recommendation, just told the pharmacist I sometimes have issues breathing and this was what I was handed. Would have never made any connection to it, so thank you and say thanks to your daughter for me as well. :Love:

During my last year in college I went through a bad cold or flu and began using Vicks Sinex. It was a bottle every 2 weeks for several months. I didn't realize I was physically addicted to this stuff until my father died and I left for home in a hurry and forgot to bring my Sinex. Anyway, when I got home I explained my plight to mom and she offered some nasal spray from the medicine cabinet. I forget the name but I only needed a couple sprays of that stuff and my breathing was better and I've used neither of those since that time.

Vicks Sinex is the devil's brew.
 
Pharmaceuticals... the nasal spray causes depression.. so they prescribe anti-depressants.
The anti-depressents cause kidney and liver damage.
If the anti-depressents don't make you suicidal, the liver and kidney damage starts to cause various pains and malfuncions so they prescribe opiiods and tox screens.
The tox screens require various supplements.
The opiods cause more liver and kidney damage and your body starts to ache and decay.

The medical community (guided by the pharmaceutical industry) calls it getting old or a syndrome.

I call the pharmaceutical industry murderers.

- Did I get all the facts right? Probably not :rofl:
-Did I get the general trend right? I'll bet my life on it !

How long will it take politicians to react? Consider how long it took to LIMIT cigarette use after it was known to cause lung cancer. Cigarettesare highly addictive and yet still legal to manufacture, distribute, and market. The corner store 2 blocks away sells individual cigarettes to teenagers.

If you take ANY compounded pharmaceuticals, I suggest you explore alternative therapies. Be smart about it, a lot of herbal remedies are pharmaceutical precursors. Belladonna can cause the same type of lasting damage as prescription heart medications.

Cannabis is our friend. It's always a good place to start when trying to improve one's health.

And does anyone EVER calculate a cost/benefit analysis when it comes to human health? Nope. It's verboten. Nope, can't do that. Sooooo ... duh ... if it costs $10,000 a year in this century to keep a human in proper health ... maybe we're not calculating correctly. Hmm? How much healthier are we now?

Freedom is a de-stressor. Turning our lives over to people we're not sure we can trust is stressful, sometimes highly so. In this century, we can't trust people the way we used to be able to. Yet we find that more and more of our life is dependent on people we can't trust. Now I don't even have a choice in health care - I'm stuck with whomever the hospital corporation assigns to me. Now it doesn't even matter if I trust him or the hospital.

The big problem we're having is that we're turning our lives over to experts, and it's becoming evident that they don't take that seriously. They don't make expert decisions, and they don't have expert solutions, and they don't seem to want to take responsibility for it. They don't want to be fired, they don't want to lose all their assets. Instead, they cobble together some ridiculous kluge of a solution and tell us it's fixed. They forget that the perks and social status of expertise comes with terrible responsibility. People ... die. People lose everything.

Sanctimonious f*ckheads.

I'll keep my freedom over their advice. In this century, "expert" is apparently synonymous with "leech".

Oh, and long as I'm ranting ... :bigblush: What ever happened to Honor? Is it just some silly quaint old idea like chivalry? Honor should be something you protect, not rent or sell. No? Where'd it go? I'm fond of Socratic discourse. It's a question not to be answered, but to be contemplated.

Be well, y'all. :Namaste:

You know DaT...... I get these inspirations, and I've trained myself to run with them without question, because I assume what I was inspired to write in the middle of the night had a purpose for someone other than me.

It gave me shivers to see how that played out in your world. I can't say enough how thankful I was to have written this one, if only to help you see through the veil of depression. My daughter said she had a persistent headache that was localized, I believe off the left side of her head that she just chalked up to something environmental.

She was over earlier and the mood hasn't shifted much since yesterday, but today she has awareness and her vape pen. When we go out in a few to get groceries I'll be sure to take my pen with me fully loaded. She tends to think she can be out without the meds, but I have a feeling this may be a day she's glad I came prepared.

Graytail, we deify commercialism and productivity above all else. I'd like to believe that we can take our world back someday and start putting the good of the people ahead of profits. Yeah, I know......those rosey-tinted glasses obscure my view of reality, but I'm wired to believe that every question has a magnificent answer that benefits the most, and if we can stay tuned into being happy and grateful we stand a better chance of finding those answers.

There was a lot of hoopla when pharmaceuticals became a reality about how we were going to change the world. Well....we did, but somehow it didn't turn out to be the paradise that was originally envisioned. Time to make that switch back to medications we grow and process that create a natural healing atmosphere. Now that we know we have endocannabinoid systems don't you think it's time we paid attention to this truth and the implications it presents?
 
After ten days in the bags a couple of the clones surprised me with roots today. :yahoo:

Devil's Carnival 1.1

IMG_95796.JPG


IMG_95805.JPG


She'll be spending her life as a hempy with the RX Green Solutions nutrients. Today's drink was at 1/8 strength. I want to see what she can show me with a different approach. You can bet your life I'll train this one to be less lanky. :laughtwo: I'll transplant her into something with more root space in a few weeks.

For the night she'll sit down here far from the light.

CBD Critical Cure 2.5

IMG_95838.JPG


Roots are never as frantic as the Carnival genetics. Lol!

IMG_95844.JPG


She got potted up in a tad less than a gallon of soil, so she'll be a kit girl. Today she got a supply of Roots! to jumpstart the vigorious growth we anticipate and TransWater drench to start her off with a drink. I think the clone I'll be taking from CBD CC 2.2.1 in a few days I'll start in hempy.

IMG_95883.JPG


Gosh........ This is the prettiest strain. They just catch my heart when they're this size. :Love:

They're both protected by distance from the intensity of the lights. Tomorrow they'll move a little closer.

IMG_95905.JPG


*contented sigh* I have such consistent success with TOAST's cloning technique that I date them from the day I take the clipping. These two are coming into the pack 10 days old.

Good grief, I love what we do. I can't be the only one who gets a rush after potting up a gorgeous-looking clone. :laughtwo: I'm smiling ear-to-ear. :cheesygrinsmiley:
 
Hi Sue: just checking in, I see you're staying busy! It's hard keeping up with just your journals let alone everybody else's :-) Anyway, keep up the good work. The photo of CBD Critical Cure 2.1.1 should be entered into the photo of the month contest, that is an outstanding plant!

Jugg
 
I'm challenging myself for the next week to say this with feeling right out loud, every hour, on the hour. I thought maybe some of you might enjoy the experiment yourselves. This looks like fun. A repost from my Path thread.

I'm so grateful and thankful

and I love

how much money

I have

in my life.

:yahoo: :slide: :yahoo:

:Love:

Looks like powerful medicine to me. I couldn't pass up the opportunity. Last time I tried this it was back before anyone had cell phones, and I hung a stopwatch around my neck with the alarm set to an hour. When that "beep-beep-beep-beep!" went off, I'd stop whatever I was doing and say out loud "Thank you Father, for my wealth."

Did that for a month, and it transformed me and my family. Suddenly wealth took on broad definitions and things clicked into place in almost magical ways.

I understand now the cosmic laws that were in play. At that time we developed a pattern of thought that went along the lines of waiting for that shoe to drop. That shoe we called in turned out to be Dale's health decline. Took 20 years to get to the end, dancing just beyond death every step of the way. To the edge and back, over and over and over..........

Did I ever tell you all that when I first met Dale he told me that the men in his family died at 62 of heart failure and diabetes? He was 62 when he died, of congestive heart failure and complications of diabetes. You get what you expect in life. :straightface:

Know what I expect? To live into my 90s, vibrant and relevant in the lives of the people I'm blessed to have surrounding me with love. To spend the rest of my life helping others find more interesting ways to be joyful, and to understand why that's so important to your health, since the ECS runs best in joy mode.

Bet I live to be 100. :cheesygrinsmiley:

Well that was awlfully sweet Jugg. :hugs: I need more Carnival seeds, and was planning to enter this month's contest. Lol! I'll give it serious consideration.

We all have a challenge keeping up with this journal. :laughtwo: We sure do have a good time though. :battingeyelashes:

Here ya go, one I forgot I took. :battingeyelashes:

Good morning everyone :Love:

A sweet morning, to be sure. Wake 'n bake with the Rifleman. :battingeyelashes: :Love: He's back on the road now, headed home. I may have impressed him with the potential of hempy. :cheesygrinsmiley: Time will tell. Lol!

On to gardening chores. It's Hempy H2O day around here.

IMG_95925.JPG


While I had them out I took time to clean up the CBD Critical Cures they share tent space with and the tents themselves.

IMG_95973.JPG


Grabbed the best cuts for potential clones. I'll pick one from here and freeze the rest. This one will be a hempy.

Then I trimmed and cleaned up the girl in the finish tent.

My day's off to a splendid start. It's a special joy to meet another member. We only had a few minutes before he needed to get back on the road, but it was sweet that he went out of his way to make the stop. Of course we talked much longer than planned. :laughtwo: We need an annual gathering, don't you think? Something casual and reasonably priced. Or a series of meetings. Lol! Big pot-luck picnics with "special" baked goods. :laughtwo:

I do hope your day has an equivalent joy running through the main theme. Do your best to share that joy and it'll increase, thusly improving your own endocannabinoid tone, making it more likely that you'll get to old age a happy and vibrant creature. Have fun today. Make some noise. :yahoo:
 
Grinning ear-to-ear over here.

IMG_96076.JPG


I need some space to plant autos. :laughtwo: That was the plan for the tiny closet. I'll look over the schedules and see when I can get the next round started, but it might not be for another two months.

I'm not willing to wait that long. :battingeyelashes: I'll find somewhere that'll accomodate two 5 gallon pots under CFLs for a month, and plant a month before projected harvest of Carn 4.1 and DC.

This dance to fill the space keeps getting complicated by my desire to keep planting. Lol!

I forgot hempy was an option. :laughtwo: I still benefit from a review of the upcoming dance cards, but I don't have to wait until I can fit in pots of soil. As she slides a little faster down the hempy slope. Lol!
