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

Hi SweetSue and motivational growers. I have been following your other threads, giving it my all to follow and learn. Alas, the terminology and processes went quickly over my head and I became buried in text. However, I have been able to follow this thread with limited progress and that is A+ in my world. Because I made it here regardless of the difficulty I have in reading.

You are soooo busy, but if you are drinking tea and want to read the intro of my new "Sunshine" journal as I record my experiences as a person who has a Neuro Degenerative disease at the tender age of 44. Thank you to the universe, I got back in touch with gardening and this site is helping me tremendously.

I am growing my own CBD and learning 4x as fast as I should be with this brain injury. There is so much I'm accomplishing beyond what any medical system could provide or predict. I don't want to ramble and cause massive paragraphs, but I'm here because I'm improving and now I understand things like never before. There is nothing to ask of you SweetSue, I guess I just wanted to make your infamous acquintance and your reputation of healing precedes you. I'm just here to learn and slow down and degenerative processes currently happening.

If you know of any protocols for such a medical condition, I'm all brain...lol. ;) Have a wonderful day!
 
GTHM I see you have a sense of humor as well as being lyrically inclined. I seen a birthday poem you wrote on another's thread. Great job on that btw.

Have a great night and what a struggle to keep your head up through these times. All brain n all ... :rofl:
I hope you don't mind. I'm strolling around others gardens and stoned up real good. Just being too talkative​ I guess.
Hoping this is the place you need to be...
Great Eve.

:hugs: SweetSue :hugs:
I hope you're beyond well my friend.

That's what I was wondering about them white tips.. Now there is a strain called let me think,,, stand back,,, Ed Rosenthal Super Bud,,, she has a pheno that explodes with a thick''' pure white''' hairs on it.. But it isn't just the tip. Kind of looks like a lighting bleach out to me,, but I'm not sure how close your light is and what light your using so... Hey my little 2 cents,, I don't think Sue's done it, but if you spray heavy with products like neem and other oils it will do the same.. Well I was just doing a drive by.... Buds sure look nice,,, Keepem Green

I did about 20 harvests with Neem oil ever other day all the way through flowering - 2% neem oil soilution with meyer's liquid soap and water. I've not seen these.

That was such a sweet "hello" growtohealme, and I'll have to give you reps for reading through. Even at just over 50 pages my journals tend to be packed with information and can be a chore to read through. :welcome: to my joyful yard of cannabis, populated by some of the most delightful friends a person could hope for. :hugs: :Love:

I'd be honored to read your journal. Your condition interests me enough that I was considering subbing in anyway, so thank you for the personal invite. Let's get something straight from the start, I will never be too busy for you. When the need arises I put everything on hold to give a member my full attention as we work through the overwhelming data and develop a protocol. I do this all the time, and it hasn't yet caused me to lose sleep or feel stressed. I feel humbled to have found myself in the position to put my study skills to such a noble use. It's so intimidating to wade through all the data, when there's no reason to do so on your own. Please, feel free to ask me or any of the members who frequent the study hall to help. It's why we're here.

I'll check in on the journal in just a bit. :battingeyelashes: :Love:

You're such a doll Jacob. You enjoy your high the same way I do. :laughtwo: My daughter was just commenting that she has no idea how I can be so high and get so much done, but then she uses indicas and I'm a sativa gal.

My day has been a delight from start to finish. New shoes and a delightful walk along the river with my good friend. I assume you are well my friend? Have a wonderful evening with the misses. :hugs: :Love:

This is why I often call him "Bright One." He warms up the room just by walking through the door. :cheesygrinsmiley:

To be honest, the only other member I've followed who had this happen was Cajun, and this is the only strain I've grown under this light - well, the only strain I've grown ever, that had this happen. I'll have to save out the tips of a couple to see if they do, indeed, sizzle when they're hit with a flame.

Thank you kindly SweetSue, please no rush, I'm here for the long haul...of medicine. ;)

That's good to know. I'm here for the long haul too. :hugs: :Love:

:laughtwo: I was just headed back here to leave you another message. Spare yourself the concern about leaving long posts on my journal. Lol! I'm known to be quite the wordy wench myself, and that's being gracious. I have no problem with others choosing to do the same on my threads. I encourage discourse.
 
Happy 4/20 everyone

Celebrate in a fashion that'd make Bob Marley proud

Happy 4/20 people! Have a nice big smoke with friends and people you love! Where did 4/20 actually come from anyway?

Happy 4/20 rik. :passitleft: I went looking and found an article from the LA Weekly, published in 2013 that answered your question.

The true birth of 420 dates back to the early 1970s, when it became the hour of cannabis consumption among high school students in San Rafael. Even in mellow Marin County, stronghold of the Grateful Dead, no concessions were made to allow puffing during school hours.

So a group of stoners calling themselves "the Waldos" — because they liked to hang out in front of a wall — would pass each other in the halls, exchanging knowing glances and muttering "420 Louis!" One told the San Francisco Chronicle in 2000, "It was just a joke, but it came to mean all kinds of things, like, 'Do you have any?' or 'Do I look stoned?'?" They used 420 as a code word for their activities and the time said activities would take place.

The group met in front of the statue of 19th-century French scientist Louis Pasteur, as well as other spots on school grounds, to get high at 4:20 p.m. It's said that the pack of teens would sometimes roam the campus, searching for a rumored marijuana patch.

The term "420" was widely in use by the end of the 1970s. Deadheads spread it outward like a virus from their San Rafael ground zero. Within a decade, pot smokers were using it across the country and around the world.

The stoner bible High Times started using the term "420" as early as 1990, and later bought the website 420.com, which includes videos, news, horticulture tips, activism and conspiracy links ("Will the LAPD Have Armed Drones Hunting Suspects?").

Wasn't that fun? :laughtwo: The story's been verified. A bunch of high school stoners changed the world. Makes it kinda ironic how hard our societies work to "protect the children" from the Devil's lettuce. Lol! How many of those reading this started smoking in high school. How much did it hurt you, beyond social repercussions? How many of you knew you were supporting the ECS? None of us knew that, and knowing it changes the game. Our lawmakers and the brainwashed public need to educate themselves to the safety of cannabis.

I'm not suggesting we encourage teen use. I'm suggesting that we don't need to fear teens experimenting with cannabis. Turns out, if you legalize, many of the teens lose interest. And in the end, all they're doing is feeding the body what it can't produce itself in those numbers. We all have endocannabinoid systems, not just those of us who use cannabis.

 
HARVEST: CBD Critical Cure (Day 129, flip + 54)

Being careful not to spread mites or their eggs.

The light is off. This'll be cleaned and reset by tomorrow afternoon. I'm hoping to get it all done today. That Carnival needs more root space.

One cup of baking soda......

One cup of lemon juice.....

Into 5 gallons of hot water (hot because I'm killing mites with this wash), to be followed by the shock of cold and finishing on a rinse of tepid.

She's hanging to drip dry for a few hours before I process her into oil. I'll be drying some of her in the refrigerator too. I tested the buds I'd dried like this last night and was impressed, but I was also too high already to get a true feel. It was good enough I immediately determined to try again. Ziggy's a genius. :hugs:

My mistakes. :oops:

IMG_58845.JPG


Trimmings. I'll be saving for something, though I haven't determined what yet. They'll likely get tossed in the freezer. If I ever dry out what I have frozen and process it I'll probably get a decent yield.

IMG_58854.JPG


It felt good to come through a harvest and have some healthy leaves to show for it. I know we don't grow for the leaves, but we all also know that the health of the leaves is a reflection of the vigor of the plant. This is why we stand in awe of Duggan and the luscious monsters he grows with such ease.

All trimmed and dripping. :battingeyelashes: I don't trim close. I'm interested in getting as complete a terpene and cannabinoid profile in my oils as possible. If I see any trichomes the leaf material stays. Some of this will get clipped as I remove buds for processing.

Tools and supplies standing by. I went with a small stock pot inside my cast iron Dutch oven. The depth of the stock pot gives me confidence that oil and water won't come into contact.

Lots more to get done today. Mmmmmm......the brownie just kicked in. :cheesygrinsmiley:

The tent needs scrubbed and lights switched out. Plants need transplanted and the tent reset. I'll catch up with all later as I wander in and out of the yards. :ciao:

That is a pretty fun fact about 420! And well, there are a lot of teens who are smoking weed and some of them even abuse it.

The term "abuse" and cannabis don't really belong together. That mindset is the detritus of prohibitionary lies and propaganda. The idea that someone choosing to safely feel good needs to stop their behavior so you can feel more comfortable about something you choose not to understand doesn't sit well with me.

I'm actually an advocate of our governments legalizing all drugs. Get out of the control side and spend the effort and resources for voluntary treatment programs for those who allowed themselves to get swallowed up in addiction and now want to be free. The War On Drugs has been an abysmal failure and led to social disruption. A little sanity would be appreciated.
 
Well why I used "abuse" is that those people who I am talking about and even friends of mine, they think cannabis is illegal and dangerous and some crazy drugs. So they tried using cannabis and then they think: Hey I can handle this! Let's step it up! so from there they go to XTC and Cocaïne and even worse. And all of that because people told them that weed was bad. And most teens like to see that for them selves so they push it to the limits.

In any group of people you'll have a percentage that will have a proclivity to develop addictive behavior. This is not, in any way, restricted to drug use. My point is, an addictive personality will find an addiction. This is the foundation of the argument that outlawing drugs to save us from the dangers of addiction is a lost cause. Offer those people support and a way to clean their lives up. Don't restrict the vast majority of us because of the actions of the few.

As I write that I smile once again at the insanity that one man tried unsuccessfully to blow up a plane with explosives in his shoes and everyone who flies publically must now remove your shoes before you can pass the security point in an airport. Any airport. In the entire world!!!! :rofl:

Cannabis is not a drug anyone can become addicted to. Not just some people, but all people. It's not in the realm of possibility in any sane universe. You can become dependent, but what are we saying is wrong with you clinging to a life raft that supports the system evolved to heal you? A life raft that can't hurt you, your health, your friends, neighbors, family members, your pets, your plants, your community, the planet.

Cannabis heals the body and the soil it grows in. It doesn't deserve the indignity of being included in the conversations about addiction unless we're acknowledging it's incredible value as a drug that can safely bring you out of the hell of opioid addiction.
