SweetSue's Perpetual 3.0 - The Hempy/HB Hybrid Grow

[SweetSue]

Separately, I want to wish you a Happy Valentine's Day.

You really are sweet, Sue.

Peace, Hyena

OMG..... that's a valentine any good cultivator can appreciate. Thank you. When can I expect delivery?

Back to the Blue Dream.

 

[SweetSue]

Time to show off my entry into the Malawi 500. I think mine may be moving along faster than the soil darlings, but she still has quite a ways to go. In her 8th week of flowering, it looks to me like another 4, which puts her right smack in the middle of 12 weeks filling my auto closet. Lol! Damn! I'm so ready to have another DDA running. I'm thinking of running one of Rifleman's Sweet and Sour Devil's Crack beside her. It'll be my homage to Mr. McCain, who so thoughtfully gifted me with the seeds.

But this is supposed to be about Malawi.

Massive and unruly. Lol! One of my goals is to get seeds and try one from seed, without all the defects I inadvertently introduced. There's a beauty to her wildness, don't you agree?

I did a bit more wiring to the pole. Her branches are starting to become heavy, and we're only 2/3 of the way home.

She's a tough one for me to capture on the iPhone. I'll have to start paying closer attention to the guys over on the 420 photography thread. The trichome development is mesmerizing.

Jamaican 1.2 got a nice stretch in this week. I keep looking at her and thinking a larger pot is needed, but then I remind myself that the purpose of this girl is to get me familiar with growing in solo cups. I have to start somewhere.

She's so pretty. I'll be so relieved to get her harvested.

Oh yes!!! I almost forgot..... Carn 4.6 is in bloom!!

Only ~ 65 more days to go. Lol!

If you don't own a copy of Kelley Turner's "Radical Remission" I suggest you secure one and read it cover-to-cover.

I just checked, and my local library offers it for checkout via their ebook lending program (handled through a third-party, as these things all seem to be). So I checked that book out. Now, I have downloaded it onto my cell phone through the third-party's app, and can carry it around in my pocket (and use a LARGE font to read it ).

Thanks for the information, Sue. I have a couple murder mysteries and a sci-fi novel ahead of it in line to read, but I should be able to read that one this weekend.

I'm glad to hear that TS. It may change the way you think about your body. I'd be interested in your take. I'm considering starting a thread to discuss what she presents.

On a completely different path... ... I've been having fun with the glass screens.

They drop into the bowl, leaving just enough of a gap for airflow. I use the glass tool to get them settled into place.

When I'm done with the hit the bowl gets dumped into a dish. I fish the screens out and clean them off.

It was obvious to me from the first hit that these were picking up the oil. They're sticky as they can be when the hit's done.

No way was I wasting that much oil. They get a couple days in alcohol before I pick them out, rinse them off, and toss them back into the tin.

It's starting to get serious in there, and it's only been a few days. Lol!

I figure I'll just keep going until I think there's enough in there worth purging. Then I'll have bonus oil.

 

[TorturedSoul]

How about taping one of those onto a fossil, lol? I now have three glass items (mini-bong, small bubbler, heavy duty spoon pipe) and no one sells any kind of glass gauze/screen locally. I have ONE, but it's shaped like a jack (like the ones we bounced a ball and picked up as children?), and it works in the spoon - but is shaped wrong for the bubbler or mini-bong, and won't go down far enough to allow room for cannabis :rolleyes3 .

I worry about breaking mine. It looks like it's fragile. When I get to use it, I carefully wipe it off afterwards with an alcohol-soaked paper towel.

BtW, I think that long teat goes down into the hole? I could be wrong, but I think it's supposed to provide stability while installed. Then again, it may be for ease of removal with hemostats or tweezers, IDK.

I have now seen (pictures of) glass jacks, glass daisies, glass snowflakes, and ones that are actually screens (have a bunch of holes in them). I don't know which are for what. Or if they're all the same, more or less.

I do have a few of the traditional metal faucet aerator screens.

That's probably 2.5% oil and 97.5% tar and partially combusted plant material (unless you're smoking oil to begin with, in which case it'd be present in much higher amounts, I suppose).

I'll let you know what I think of the book next week after I've read it. I did glance at the index and saw no listing for cannabis or marijuana. But it does look like there's a chapter on herbs. From the table of contents, there seems to be a lot of things one has to do completely differently than they were doing up to the point when they were diagnosed with cancer. That makes sense - but it's a little depressing to contemplate. Like "eat healthier." Might as well say, "Get rich so you can buy expensive food," instead. I hope this book doesn't turn out to be another one that tells me 100 things to do that are beyond my budget in the first half, then in the second half expects me to somehow find a switch on the back of my skull that I can flip over to "happy" from its current setting (realistic). Because I always end up feeling more depressed after reading those.

Just open that door for me TS. Hard,cold fact: the reality you live is created by your thoughts. Your belief that you need to be rich to eat a better diet is one such erroneous concept. Your belief that your thought patterns are somehow fixed and immovable is the most dangerous belief you have, IMO, because it defies basic biology and cosmic law. You're a prisoner of your thoughts, and you're also the jailer with the keys, willing to open all the closed doors of possibility. When you're ready you'll find the moment to begin the shift.

This "life experience " we're having is just a game, one meant to be played steeped in love and joy. You've passed judgement on yourself in a universe that avoids judgement and only you can forgive yourself for that and learn to love yourself enough to want to change the way you think. Because the way you think determines whether your body is healing you or degrading you.

When you find yourself accepting that how you feel matters more than anything else and that you want to feel happy you'll know you've made the shift. Once you get there it's just a matter of time and practice. You've a lifetime of thinking of yourself as less that the shining, loving individual I know you to be. When it matters you'll be inspired to action that will change how you think. That part's cosmic law too. They're waiting for you to tell them what you want with a strong enough vibration that they can get it to you. Your ECS is waiting for the internal conversation to be more loving so it can be energized for healing mode.

But we're eternal creatures TS, and in the end we all end up home and lovingly accepted as worthy and adored. Just the way I always see you now.

I bought 200 of the screens. I'm sure a few will find their way to you. I believe they go in the way I'm using them. They have a curl on the end of some that defy placement in the hole so I tried this way and it works perfect. It sticks to the glass and you break the connection by reaching in and physically moving it before emptying. They made my life so much easier.

Good morning everyone

That's enough joy therapy for the moment. Lol!

Dinachem got a reprieve.

Tead Tead posted trichome shots of his Ox at harvest that convinced me I'm jumping the gun with her.

Day-to-day, but probably Sunday, regardless of how she looks. I need the space, unless.......

Some thinking to do. I may double up the CBDCCs in the middle tent and let her ride a bit more. If I'm going to do that I might want to feed her something, ya think?

Time to meditate. Get out there and spread some joy around. Today is the last full day for many of those in Jamaica. Ahhh..... I can still close my eyes and be there. I'm so glad the wives got to visit the island. I so look forward to the day when we have regular gatherings around the country. Those days are ahead, if I have anything to do with it.

Later mi amigos.

 

[SweetSue]

Like this

She looks looks unruly because she's been cramped into the veg shelf. I've opened her up some and done a teeny bit of defol. In a couple days she'll look like new.

These are are the same chemovar, the left from seed in soil, the right a clone in hempy. Fascinating!

Look look at that, I got two in a tent. There's hope for me yet. Lol!

 

[DrDoob]

Looking great, be careful two plants in that small tent can get overrun very quickly. Me not being the smartest, have three in one and it's far too crowded for my comfort. .

I've been three in a tent Doob, and I agree that's too much. The hempy plant will shift to the Spa as soon as the Dinachem is done. At that point I'll have a better idea as to whether I can drop another soil girl in there with only five gallons. The Red Diesel is starting to complain too.

Back to the Blue Dream.

Mmmmmmm.....Blue Dream.........mine just got underway.

Garden is looking great Sue and some great discussions. Cigs.....some truly ugly creations. TS.....best of luck with your quest to quit brother.

 

[Stage]

Those tall plastic pots you like came in today.
I'll send them out to ya in the morning.

I'd forgotten all about them Stage! Thank you. That'll be just in time for a transplant. Now I can see if there's a difference between the pots. If I had your tent space I'd be training mine the way you do yours. As it is I'm doing it in miniature with CBD CC 3.

Oh look! But first....... a background of deliberate manifestation.

I go out walking most days, and often, right before I go the daughter stops to have a wake 'n bake with mom. During today's session I was explaining to her my dream of setting up some bins with the solo cups to make my dream of doing a batch or two easier to manage. I remember specifying that the bins would need to be large enough to hold four cups, one in each corner, with interior space to keep things from becoming to crowded.

Then I went out for my walk along the river. On the way back I was passing Target when the urge to stop was irresistable. Right inside the front door they have an area devoted to small, inexpensive things that are mostly good for seasonal decorating. I looked down to the bottom bin and spotted these.

"It'd be nice" I said " if they had a nice finger holes to make it easier to reach into the shelf or tent and lift them out as a unit."

And that folks, is how you manifest something. Ask, believe it's going to come to you, forget about it, watch the universe bring it to you as you vibrate joy as the default emotion. This little demonstration occured within an hour of our conversation. I must be doing this right.

 

[Amy Gardner]

Wow - didn't drop in for a couple of days and had a lifetime of journal life to catch-up on. Great read all, and beautiful garden updates Sue

Mmmmmmm.....Blue Dream.........mine just got underway.

I'm in love with the very idea of growing a blue dream for myself...

But listen, this is for TS, and DrDoob and anyone else keen to release themselves from cigarettes. I had my last cig (I was a roll-ur-owner and the rolling was half the joy!) on October 14 2006. I remember the date because of the method I used - and I remember every drag of the cigarette because it made me feel so very sick, like that first one remember? Dizzy and nearly throwing up (why oh why do we have that experience as kids and then keep smoking them? Odd creatures us humans ).

Anyway - I used a book called 'How to quit smoking the easy way'. Before eye rolling takes you over, i can say that we rolled our eyes a bit too, but we were ready to be free of it so when the book appeared on my mums table (strategically...) we were like - let's take it home and try it. We went one first then the other, dedicating 2days each to do nothing else but read the book and do everything the writer said. I made a very conscious choice (let's say deliberate hey Sue?!) before opening the book, that regardless of what my intellect tried to impose, that I was going to believe everything he said and do everything he asked with dedicated enthusiasm. It really didn't matter after all if it was all true or not, what mattered was becoming free of cigarettes and that's what he promised - so I deliberately chose to enter fully into the 'program'. Not quite 48hrs after reading the first words, I smoked my last cigarette and have never since, not once, been at risk of reaching for another one. I have honestly never had anything even close to the desire for it. This is true for both of us (and the other was a chain smoker let me tell ya!). That's not to say some 'withdrawal' didn't happen, but it was emotional not so much physical- we cried and laughed a lot over the next few months and that eventually eased. We also enjoyed, very quickly, enhanced taste, colour in our cheeks and a massive increase in energy, not to mention dollars (for more yummy things to eat).

If anyone is truly ready to stop, I highly recommend finding a copy (aim for the original version - it was so popular he did a whole lot of spin offs but the original is the one you want) - and, if you can, entirely suspend your disbeliefs and just go with him right through to your last cigarette. You'll be so happy you did ...

Thank you Amy. That was so important I highlighted the name. May it prove helpful to other members.

I stopped to share. Lest you fall into the misconception that SweetSue is some sweet, angelic soul - - I just spent the past hour taking notes on a video on opiate tapering using cannabis as a substitute for the opiates. An hour of intense notes, reviewing, formatting photos. Great fun, to be honest, but that hour of my time was only 10 minutes out of the video, a mere 1/6 of the entirety. When I changed screens to make an addition it vanished! Awk!!!

There's this little glitch of mine......I keep the tabs open on numerous pages because I'm working on multiple projects at all times. When I go into a page to work it may have been sitting there waiting for me for a bit, so it's necessary to refresh the page before I start. Because if you don't, when you switch back to a different format it vanishes.

When it disappeared in front of my bewildered eyes I yelled "NO!!!" Then I stared at the screen in horror as I realized my mistake and chucked the iPad to the corner of the mat with a disgusted "F**k It!!"

Well..... then I laid back on the mat and did some deep breathing until I slowed down, so maybe there is a little of that angelic thing going on. I think I'll call it a night on that project and give it another go tomorrow. There must be something else associated with this project I haven't come across yet. I keep running into bumps that slow it down. If anybody knows what I'm waiting for, I'd appreciate a heads up. Lol!

I've been smoking J's Red Diesel tonight, and now I'm going to give it my undivided attention. I did find it good for focus. I was taking killer notes at top speed. Time to see what it's like as a social stimulant.

Back to my buzz.

 

[SweetSue]

In states that have medical cannabis laws there's been a nearly 25% decrease in deaths from opiate overdose.

Keeping cannabis a controlled substance is a criminal act against the population of this country we love.

I look forward to following that thread. I have family I hope it can help. Please send me a PM when you get it going.

High SweetSue,

We all enjoy the pains of being human daily. You did well by relaxing. I've been told "it's not what happens to you, but how you deal with it". And your cosmos play is inspiring to us all. Thank you!
