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

[Radogast]

Thank you Sue. That's quite the testimonial. I lived with someone bipolar for a few years. Being able to get that under control without having to resort to mind numbing pills is a feat.

I need to look it up. Is it a balanced hybrid, or more indica leaning? I've been thinking of getting a sativa leaning and an indica leaning strain. I was recommended mango Haze CBD and I've been eyeing dandy dance for the indica one. The flavor sounds intriguing. Curry, orange, and lavender notes together with, musky/skunky undertones. You've got me thinking about critical cure now. Hmm...

Barney's Farm only says that the strain is mostly indica.
Seedfinder says there is an indica dominant phenoype and a sativa dominant phenotype

My CBD Critical Cure grew shaped like a sativa with some really odd bud development. The flowers started looking out a lot like a round version of a cedar branch or a squished together norfolk pine. It didn't really come out in photos but they were pencil thick 2-3" buds. Around 55 days they finally started to fatten up . I'm now at 63 days and pistils are changing, trichomes are still clear. It also looks like it may foxtail, so harvest looks to be at 70-85 days.

I think my CBD Critical Cure is sativa dominant but many/most are indica dominant.

Thank you! I'm going to look at that right now.

What keeps my BIL's bipolar disorder under control is infused oils, at a rate of 100 gr dry bud to 500 ml of carrier oil, used to fill 00 capsules, of which he takes 4-6 a day. I'm a big fan of setting up a capsule regimen that works for the patient, and that's done by starting sub-therapeutically and adding on first dosing times (until you've established 2-4 doses a day) and then increased doses, one capsule at a time. Every patient is individual in what can be tolerated, but you're looking for something rich in CBD with as much THC as the patient can comfortably handle.

Thankfully, no one can be hurt with cannabis. You carefully and thoughtfully bring the dose up to where the patient feels best. There are some basic guidelines to introducing regimens, and we have a thread dedicated to just such a thing. Cannabis Dosing - Delivery Methods and Dosing Guidelines

Has your patient with PTSD been able to explain how he feels with this strain? I just spent 2 hours on the phone with my grandmother, we often do this. But in the conversation she happen to say that bipolar run in out family. I'm also wondering the effect the strain has as well. If that makes sense?

That patient is my daughter, and we discuss this all the time. Triggers don't bother her much anymore, since she started on a regular regimen of capsules. Her sleep patterns have returned to normal rhythms. She no longer has nightmares, which went a loooong way towards relieving insomnia. Not fearing dream states allows one to fall into blissful, restful sleep. She's less guarded with people, less on alert.

No more migraines. Her irritable bowel symptoms are settling. Tension caused by anxiety slips away with a puff of the vape pen. She's more connected to now, less likely to flash back or to be fearful for the future. She's not afraid to be out in the world anymore. It's no longer the uncontrollable situation it once was. Now she controls herself, regardless of what's going on around her.

It's been a godsend. She's learning social skills. Lol!

15 grams remaining of the smaller buds. Add on the approximate 5 grams I gave the BIL yesterday and the 2 grams I've smoked myself, and I'll go 22 grams small buds.

27 grams of larger buds, at 68% internal humidity. Close enough that I'll call it at 50 grams total, which is around 17% of the original 298 gr wet that went into the drawer.

Yep, I'm happy. I'll go to bed with a smile on my face.

Hey? I know you mentioned this magical strain that works well for your daughter, but I'm not sure what it was. Carnival?

I know different strains affect different people err... differently. Boy howdy do I know that - when I was hooked up with little miss dangerous, she'd occasionally smoke something that left her freaking completely out. Would scream that there was "an electrical storm in her brain." In her case, I wondered at the time if it was one of the head meds the pshrinks had her on - SSRIs, MAOIs, etc., often multiple drugs at the same time and, at least once, two drugs that each listed the other under the "do NOT take with..." section of their warnings :icon_roll . But even so... A good sativa, that was harvested at the correct time, makes me feel like... everything is fine, y'all, just fine . But I've heard/read/seen the same kind of bud give some people the screaming willies. So... different people, different effects.

Still, I'm thinking that the strain you grow for your daughter is one I should investigate. You know that headaches negatively affect your life when you wake up one day without one... and you find yourself crying about it. Most days, it's just something you live with, like a toothache. Other days, it's something that causes you to not do much other than roll around in a corner. Occasionally, though, it gets bad. I'm sure some of it is attributable to stress and a bad attitude (lol) - but my noggin took a pretty severe impact in a bad head-on at highway speeds in 1989 and that's when they started. Or when I assume they started; I was pretty much out of it for something like a week, ten days, thereabouts. So I don't expect to ever see a cure and would, therefore, be perfectly happy (over the freaking MOON) to just band-aid it.

CBD Critical Cure by Barney's Farm TS. It's a 2:1 CBD:THC at best about 15% CBD and 10% THC. Something about this strain TS, they hit a winner with this one.

We never anticipated how across-the-board effective the strain would be. It's also my base meds. I make the oil double strength, and at that concentration it keeps SweetSue soaring on a mere two capsules a day. It heals across many levels and offers a splendid base high when processed into FHO. You see why I'm so enthusiastic about it? If I had nothing else to offer the patients we could all get by with this strain alone.

Migraines were one of the first things to vanish. She also hasn't had a reaccurance of the chronic sinus infection she'd battled for over a decade. There hadn't been any antiobiotic strong enough to keep that infection at bay. I shudder to think of what all those antibiotics did to her gut. Probably the cause of her IBS, which has also responded positively to her regimen.

CBD Critical Cure by Barney's Farm TS.

I have one of their Critical Kush seeds. Looks like CBD Critical Cure's parents are the CK and "CBD Enhanced," whatever that is. Barney's Farm has a lot of "{strain}xOG Kush" strains (at least five). There's one called Cookies Kush that's supposed to smell and taste like a fresh-baked cinnamon roll with a nutty aftertaste.

You see why I'm so enthusiastic about it?

Yes. It appears to wear many hats.

That kind of shows how health issues can be... cascading things. And that, much of the time, doctors place more effort into treating the symptoms than into treating the root cause. I guess they've all got a bit of the "chiropractor" in them, lol? ("Here, this will fix you right up! Okay, see you in a couple/few weeks to not really cure you but make you feel better for a little while.") Job security?

Sue I feel like an butt, such the butt for not staying in tune to your journal. I should have ordered these seeds months and months ago and not been playing around. These would be going into flower in three weeks and I wouldn't be playing around before I was leaving this place I live now. Such a fool I am

Ok..... let's choose to believe that everything happens in its right time. You know now, at the point when you can better understand and have a trustworthy testimonial. It's all cosmic timing, and there are no mistakes. This is all a big science experiment, and our job is to find ways to enjoy it without beating up on each other or, more importantly, on ourselves.

There's always more time. We're eternal beings. Hard to get it wrong when it's never done, eh?

Ok, I took my deep breath of Gorilla Glue and I see your point. I understand and you are correct.

When the time is right the time will be right. With that I would like to ask what and FHO is?

So true what you said once I reflect. I mean; I feel like I had so many issues with my girl in the beginning and now that I have a better understanding of Docs system they are doing better as they've grown into ladies. But I'm glad it didn't have to go through that with CC. My abilities will be far beyond a beginner when I taken them on. They what they will deserve when the time is right.

Thank you Sue ...

Thank goodness for the goodness that is Gorilla Glue, eh?

FHO = Fresh Harvest infused Oil. It's a process PsyCro started exploring and we decided to explore a little deeper, so we have a dedicated thread. Fresh Harvest Infused Cannabis Oil

Best oil I've ever made, and that appears to be the general consensus.

Oh wow, we have a thread for it all, I'm gonna have a hard time keeping up but I'm gonna try!! Thanks again Sue!!! ..

Thought I'd posted these earlier. The girls all wanted to say "Good day!"

The last of the big fans. They've all dropped since flip.

Finally got the cup hooks up. I have a little more play now.

I neglected to encourage your joyful expression this morning, so let me do that now. You know the drill. Joy. Get out there and share yours.

I have some hempy pots to water.

Just wanted to say.......... High

@Sue can you please stop posting such great pictures. I've spent way too much time, effort and money trying to get my garden up to your level. Just kidding of course, you and your awesome garden are a great source of inspiration and information. You rock!

My patio garden is going fairly well, except yesterday I noticed three good sized nugs on one plant that seemed to be just starting to rot! Which, I thought was really weird cause it has never even once rained on them or whatever and it gets >85° and lots of sun everyday.

So yesterday I consulted the experts here by using the forum search and found to my dismay it did indeed look exactly like many of the pictures of bud rot. So this morning I went to cut it all out and low and behold it turned out to be tiny mf'ing caterpillars instead. I tried to pull them all out with tweezers but these little guys are deep inside the buds and there is no way I got them all. I'm going back to that search feature in a bit to figure out what to do next. Got any advice?

I have some spray that is supposedly "same day as harvest" for vegetables which I was told means it should be safe, especially since this plant has a few weeks to go at best. I'm going research it a bit more before I accidentally poison myself or something.

Inside on the other hand is going great. I transplanted the three clones that had rooted (one into hempy!), and now the other three clones have rooted too. I didn't expect 100% success, I don't know what to do with them now, but hempy solo cups would't take up much space, so I'll probably do that.

Thanks again for the info, positivity and inspiration. And thanks to this whole forum, I got no one else I can talk to about any of this stuff.

Sorry to hear about your critter friends DrDoob. Hope you can get control of that situation quickly!

Ouch!!! I'd rather have to deal with bud rot. I have no idea what one does to control the worms other than harvest. You almost have to catch the egg-laying moths.

Good luck to you. A thought: ask Cola Monster.

Living an unstructured life has its benefits. No deadlines to get to means I can stop whatever I'm doing and do something else, like finishing up the rest of the Widow x Cheese Hash Hound so generously shared with me. I don't know what got into me, but this was what the hand reached for. It's so nice to have choices.

Sometimes the buds are so pretty you can't believe you're gonna tear them apart.

This'll keep me busy for a few.
