SweetSue's Perpetual 2.0 - The Transition To Doc Bud's HBB Kit
TS..... yes to the small but fatty food to help with bioavailability. The mangoes work because they clear the methyl groups that sometimes get cluttered around the receptors. Then you get more attachments and thusly more euphoria.I'd recommend my friend try both about 30 minutes before consuming a Biobomb brownie, which will hit faster than the average brownie. I feel the euphoric shift within ten minutes of ingesting. Which reminds me.........
Lol. Do a few spoonfuls of Hellman's Real Mayonnaise qualify as fatty food? According to the label, each tablespoon contains 90 "fat calories," 10g total fat, 1.5g sat. fat, 6g polyunsaturated fat, 2.5g monounsaturated fat, only 5mg of cholesterol, and a mere 90 mg of sodium. And, apparently, not a whole lot of those yucky vitamin things, LMAO.
I haven't really stood at the refrigerator and eaten it by the spoonful since I was a kid and Mom broke me of the habit via the old belt dance. But I'll grab a spoonful once in a while when I'm in a hurry and want a snack. Usually I just use it as a dip for pizza rolls. But I don't measure the serving for that, just microwave a plate full of the pizza rolls, move a bunch out of the way by stacking them onto their neighbors, then fill the cleared space with mayo. IDK, probably not more than enough to fill two or three empty cigarette packs (but I'm not going to waste it by finding out, lol). Maybe... IDK, three or four ounces? Surely not more than it takes to fill one of those little 6-ounce cups, anyway. So maybe not enough to qualify as a fatty meal. I suppose I could try eating a lot more, but I don't think I should - sometimes, if I eat a lot of it, I get slightly queasy for a few minutes afterwards. Must be mildly allergic to one of the ingredients or something.
I think there's still four or five pizza rolls left in the bag that I couldn't get to fit on the plate last time I made them. IDK if they have fat in them or not. I think it's mostly just grease.
I still enjoy a miracle whip sandwich from time to time.

Think so. I'll have 35 cm between the wall and the table where it's least room left. 45 cm the other places. And that's the table. That will be around hip height. It's tight, but I fit - barely
I hear delighted excitement in those words.

Stay slim.
Comes in handy to be a vegan, doesn't it? Now ask yourself why you hate to say it? I'll cause a little ripple walking away from Doc's kit, I'm sure, but the goal is consistent lusciousness, and hempy was the answer. The latest harvest was grown with Osmocote Plus and pH-adjusted water. Let's see what the RX line does for her clone. To be honest Brix, I'm looking forward to losing the bins of soil filling up my limited living space. Hempy is so easy and dependable. This was my second hempy Carnival and I was as impressed with this one as I was with the first. Dense buds filling the senses. Can't wait to really taste it.

Hahaha! Almost lost my sip Graytail.
You ever try dill pickles and peanut butter? Nowadays they sell stackers, which just made the deliciousness easier to fix. 
TS, did you ever try mayo as the dip for French fries? Great idea. I'd think a spoonful of mayo would qualify. Lol! I often recommend a spoonful of coconut oil in a pinch. It's the oil you want to get those liver enzymes all excited and occupied when you eat the brownie.
However....... I prefer to start mine on an empty stomach and then have something to eat about 10-15 min later too. Experiment. There's plenty to play with.
Good morning everyone
Feel asleep early last night. One of the finer points about living alone is you have so much more flexibility with the schedule. When I get tired I simply stop and go to bed.
The flip side is I wake up alone. Not used to that yet, and I don't intend to become entirely comfortable with the state of being alone. It's temporary. Don't get me wrong, I wake up giggly and ready to play, but alone is not the preferred, nor the intended reality.
But I'm happy here while I wait to fall in front of the next man I outlive.
Ready to play? Alrighty then, let's get out there and show the world how we express joy. The universe smiles back in the most delightful ways. Joy my friends. Let's light up the cosmos. 
Stay slim.
Now that you mention it, I've seen several vegans/vegetarians - and the only fat one was a rabbit.
Did you add any bloom boosters (e.g., phosphorous/phosphate) during the bloom cycle? What about a magnesium (or Ca + Mg, if your water doesn't contain plenty of accessible calcium) supplement? Or was that nothing other than the Osmocote Plus and (adjusted) water?
I can certainly understand that motivation. But I'm curious; have you done a side-by-side with two plants of the same strain and phenotype (preferably clones from the same mother plant), one grown in soil and the other in hempy? I'm thinking about yield, of course - but also fragrance and flavor.
I can think of one green item I'd mix with peanut butter (it's not pickle
).No. I only remember eating french fries as a child during those ever-so-rare visits to McDonalds, and I just dipped them into their ketchup. Later, after I became an adult and bought 100% of my groceries, I discovered peppercorn ranch dressing (and then blue cheese dressing). I've used those for dipping french fries and hot peppers into. Mayo seems like it'd be a pretty mild dip for my taste for a bland food item. Maybe if I thought of something to enliven it.
I hardly ever eat mayonnaise on a sandwich these days. With the quantity I use at one time, it makes the sandwich pretty messy to eat - and, likely as not, unhealthy. I practically drink the stuff with pizza rolls, lol, but eat them rarely enough that I can convince myself the activity is not shortening my life-expectancy.
Cool. I thought so, but...
I'm guessing coconut oil would be much healthier.
Experiment. There's plenty to play with.
Hmm...
Aha! The difference between men and women in a nutshell. A woman hates to wake up alone. A man, OtOH, just hates to lay down alone. <~TS~ ducks and zig-zags as he runs for the foxhole...>
But I'm happy here while I wait to fall in front of the next man I outlive.
Ever thought of heading to the nearest highly respected university and grabbing the most absent-minded professor you see? Or maybe climbing Mount Everest and waiting for the first man to make it to the top in the Spring, lol? Anything less than these would probably be left confused, exhausted, or both

Ahhh......TS..... 
Some women prefer to scream that man's name in passion before they both pass out from happy exhaustion. It's part of what makes waking up together so special. Whatever adventurous man he turns out to be, he better grow. I don't see it happening without that shared passion. Lol! 
Thoughts on the method
I started my morning with a steamy shower and a quick hempy transplant, which led to a quick soil planting of a rooted clone, which reminded me that it was time to hydrate this bin of soil. The seal isn't as secure on this cheaper bin. Learn from my misstep.
Spend the extra couple bucks on the studerier version. Timing is on my side. The distiller it fighting to keep up with demand, but Mother Nature stepped in with a fresh supply.
So, here I am before 10 AM, my arms up to my elbows in soil, adding in a half gallon to keep the soil community happy, considering what I love about both methods.
Sound familiar to anyone?
Granted, I do love the experience of being elbow-deep in sweet-smelling soil when one lives in a concrete jungle.
Makes me feel like a little girl, and it leaves me feeling satisfied that I can pull this off in my tiny apartment. If I can do it, anyone can. But doing it and sustaining it are two different things, aren't they? Time me to check my bottom layer. Graytail taught me to work for that light coating to the hands after rummaging around in the bottom of the bin.
Just like this.
Had to check the other side of the bin, right?
I'm happy with that. This is one of those small, but significant chores that goes with running soil in a perpetual garden. The kit plan is 6 plants in 7 gallon pots runs simultaneously. I don't garden like that and haven't from the beginning. I've worked out my own little system, but I know I'm not getting optimal results, in great part because I'm not attentive enough to keep all the schedules running without the occasional misstep.
And foliars...... Yeah.... they've been a challenge all along, and they're really a necessary part of the system. I garden in a closet and small tents. Foliars are messy, there's no way around it, and hauling a ten-gallon pot of soil with a plant standing close to five feet into the shower is a feat I'll avoid.
I love the beauty of soil, and I love the big, beautiful plants I grow in the soil I use. I realize that I haven't harvested a comparison yet, to get a feel for the differences in smell, taste, and effect, but the Carnival clone I planted this morning would be the one. She's cut from Carnival 4.1, flowering in the tiny closet, herself a clone of the mother I just harvested. I'll have buds grown with Osmocote Plus, buds grown with RX Green Solutions, and buds grown with Doc Bud's HighBrix Blend.
Will that work TS?
My biggest hurdles in working with soil are storage and the physical restrictions of weight and space under the lights. Let's be honest, ten gallons of soil can be a bit much to be hauling around in a regular basis. Fully loaded, the reservoir of my largest hempy pot weighs nothing in comparison, even with a blooming tree sitting in it.
I've been working in organics from the beginning, and I'm surprised how easy it was for me to set that aside. I still support organic soils and highly recommend them, but I'm no longer afraid of bottled nutrients the way I used to be. The plant soaks them all up between waterings, and once the molecules get distributed the plant isn't making a distinction. My hempy harvests have been every bit as potent as my soil harvests. Now that I've grown comfortable with the bottles I can begin looking around for an organic line. Surely one exists.
Some type of filtration system so that what gets flushed down the drain is clean water would be nice.
The idea of not having to store or lug around soil is a primary attraction to an all-hempy grow. I'd like to find out how that would feel. I can store my soil indefinately, as long as I keep it from drying out. I'm going to let this beauty be my last soil plant for a while, until I've had a spell with hempy only, so I can make a fair judgement.
Carnival 4.3 (Day 23)
In about 12-14 weeks I'll be soil-free, at least for a time. That feels good to write, and better to read.
All the work this morning and I never stopped to eat anything. I just got a text from a friend who's taking me out to lunch so we can catch up. See how well the universe watches out for me?
It does that for everyone. I'm just better at allowing it. 
Gotta run.
Roots
Wow that is crazy. I would have never imagined growing in perlite only.....crazy what you can do with this plant!!
Did I type "member of the decade?" I meant Member of the CENTURY!
I must go find a glass of milk now. This is either going to be the most productive weekend I've ever had, or another one of the kind where I end up wondering how I ended up naked, 750 miles away from home. Either way, lol, I'm going to enjoy the <BLEEP> out of it.
BtW, my friend the hillbilly sasquatch said he owes you a back rub.

I certainly understand the appeal of not lugging soil around. My last batch yielded about 60 gallons worth and even if only put in 5 gallon buckets to tote around its still a bit of a pain (though much less than in the 20 gallon trash cans). I know I will be needing to bring my trash cans full of dirt inside in a couple months to keep safe from the harsh NorthEast winter. The biggest container I have grown in is 5 gallon smart pots and that with a full size plant in it is a bitch to get going up and downstairs for trimmings and waterings. I can only imagine how difficult it will be in 7 or 10 gallon pots.
I am definitely curious as to the taste and smell difference you find in the hempy grows. Goodluck with that experiment!

Wait until you see the root ball on Carn 4.1. She stands a full 44" off the perlite. Her colas are going to be tremendous!
I've compared Carnival grown in soil, in both LOS and Doc's kit soil, and perlite. I've noticed no superiority to any of the systems. All harvests have been fragrant, tasty, and yields were comparable. You'll obviously get more product out of more root space, but there's been no discernable difference to the product that would make soil something I'd be anxious about letting go.
My entire purpose is to grow the best I can with the least amount of work and stress. The osmo grow I just harvested fit the bill, excepting that I got the osmo dispersment wrong somehow and I nearly fried this plant to death. 1.5 oz from a plant that sorely abused speaks well of the potential of hempy. Now that I'm using better nutrients I'm getting spectacularly healthier and more vigorious plants. So healthy that I'm flipping them earlier than normal just to get more room in veg. Lol!

Mine too, lol I'm trying to apply that to every aspect of my life, not just growing plants.
You might appreciate this one: I went out this morning to check out my patio garden and noticed a ton of white powder on one of the plants! After tons of panic'd powdery mold research it dawned on me that yesterday I had washed out a huge bag of perlite right next to it and some of that perlite dust must have settled on that plant.

Too crowded.........
Better. Candy Cane 3 was asking for the chance to bloom anyway.
Its pretty lengthy, you might want to grab a buddy by the hand. Ready.........? Here we go.
Whoa!
Talk about your healthy leaves!
Thin Mint GSC is looking for the prize this grow for largest leaves. Lol!
OK, enough playing around........
Ultra Dawg 1.1 (Day 46) She gets watered every three days. That seems to be her preference, at least for this point in her life. I can't believe how much larger she's looking than her mother.
She's organizing herself into a nice, flat canopy. I'm assuming at some point I may grow in soil again, and UD will be the first plant up for that opportunity. I promised Conradino I'd give her a go in some HB soil.
Devil's Carnival 1.1 (Day 23) Transplanted on Wednesday and settling in nicely. I think I can get away with watering every four days with these pots.
Looking healthier than her mother did at a this stage, IMHO.
Thin Mint GSC 1.1 (Day 36) She seems to think I have unlimited vertical space for her to show off.
I don't know about you, but I'm impressed as hell with her so far. Doesn't look anything like her mother.
Malawi (Day 35) She had a drink of plain water two days ago, and I filled the pot with soil to give her a little more time before transplant. She's nowhere near ready to move into a larger pot. From the looks of her she's just catching on to what it's all about.
As you can see, I've started shaping her.
CBD Critical Cure 2.5 (Day 23) The kit girls all got Brixed last Saturday. That's the only excitement she's seen so far. Just biding her time, growing roots to support the eventual colas.
Dark Slide (Day 45) Two days ago she got a drink of plain water, and of course at Brix foliar everyone got last Saturday. She's much too gangly for my taste. I'll do something about that soon.
The soil girls are all moving much slower than the hempies, but their progress is steady and consistent, and they'll buy me some time with the crowded flowering tents.
Thick, healthy leaves on this strain.
There! Let's see how she adapts to some strict training.
I lifted the pot to get her top level with the rest.
Jamaican Bag Seed (Day 40) Remember what I said about slow? She had a TransWater drench six days ago, when she got her Brix foliar. She took an attitude for a day or two before she perked up. The soil might be a bit rich for her island roots. Lo like!
She's beginning to show some promise. I tied her verticle growth down too, and days later the tops are just now beginning to turn completely up.
It's fun and interesting to be growing something from seed I carried home from Jamaica. Neiko says his reminds him of the smells and sounds of Negril. I can only hope.
Blue Dream S1 (Day 17) Pluggin along in her dreamy way. She got transplanted into a vinegar bottle this morning and fed with 1/4 strength nutes. Looks happy, doesn't she?
Industrial Plant (Day 6) She looks lost in there. Lol!
Carnival 4.3 (Day 23) All nestled into her new home of one gallon of soil.
Tonight she'll sit over her, protected from the glare of the artificial sun.
CBD Critical Cure 2.6 (Day 13 in the bag) No roots in sight yet.
Back on the floor with her.
Whew! Everybody make it? Good, let's gather round for a moment and do a head count. Lol! That's the current brood. I think I got them all. On to the tiny closet.

Setting up the blossom sites.
Devil's Carnival (Day 76, flip + 23) She got her first CAT on Wednesday after I mistakenly gave her a second Recharge topping. I started to get upset at that, then I stood back and looked at the sheer size of her and decided cosmic forces had stepped in to inspire me to do what I'd not have considered on my own and loaded her up to make a stellar run to the finish.
My closet jungle.
Not entirely happy with the height on Carn 4.1, I took the time to readjust.
Now they're closer to the same height. The lights got raised to the very top the other day. They need to stop stretching, and it appears they have.

Early Bloom
Thin Mint GSC (Day 74, flip + 36) Hard to believe she's the mother of the monster in the veg area. They look nothing alike.
I'll be readjusting the lights in the finish tent and setting her in there this weekend. She's tall enough that she'll need them raised to the roof. Lol!
CBD Critical Cure 2.2.1 (Day 105, flip + 23) She got plain water today. In four days she'll get her first CAT drench.
Candy Cane 3 (Day 36) FLIPPED! Tomorrow I'll take a cutting for cloning. Too much going on today, and I'm still hoping to get a session of Callanetics into the day.
Finish Bloom
Yeah....... Forgot to kick the air on this morning. By the time I was done taking pictures it was down to 84 and by now it's down to 81.
Ultra Dawg (Day 105, flip + 37) She's like a stack of beautiful little jewels, burnt leaves notwithstanding.
Her main cola is beginning to get really beefy.
I have no idea how long to expect her to continue blooming, but so far she shows no signs of stopping.
CBD Critical Cure 2.1.1 (Day 134, flip + 54) She's closer than I think, but still not ready. I keep forgetting I dropped an hour from the lights recently.
Still all clear.
Candy Cane 2 (Day 96) She's begun filling out in dramatic fashion, so I know she's getting close, but she probably has another 20 days or more to go.
Still pushing out oodles of new pistils, and I'll let her ride as long as she needs. Having another just hitting the tents lets me breathe easier.
She smells like candy. You should stick your head in this tent and take a whiff. It's intoxicating. Lol! I stop multiple times a day for a quick fix.
That's the nickle tour ladies and gentlemen. Thank you for stopping to share in one of my greatest passions. It's so much more fun to be able to show them off. I do hope my small presentation brings more joy into your day. Now get out there and share it with the rest of the membership.
