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

Having a good day, are you? :hugs::hugs::hugs:

Ahh Sue - my current life circumstance is probably the most difficult I’ve lived through. It’s in my interest to keep practicing hard the skills of joyful manifestation because there is a pit beneath me that I refuse to inhabit (but it threatens all the time). At the moment, the joy of growing Cannabis keeps me in a very good mood. The learning, the challenges, the sheer individual beauty of each plant... And sharing the practice of cultivation with others here deepens that experience in enduring ways.
So yes - I am having a good day. My current practice is to have the experience of a good day even on my worst days. And there’s a few of them right now as I realise the need to pull back even more (to avoid further deterioration), while the partners next phase of recovery from the cancer surgery is kicking in and surfing is slowly starting to happen again. I have so much joy for that and love hearing the stories of the ‘paddle-out’, and simultaneously I am wracked with grief that I am not there too (and so is the partner really - it was a shared pass time from which I am now missing, in the physical sense). So, deliberate thought is becoming imperative for sheer survival!!

Hey - I made some pain oil from the Money Bush (the Bush Pod baby) and it’s working nicely. The plant had the most amazing smell of fuelley pine and overwhelming strawberry bubblegum - so so sweet, almost sickly sweet. ANyhoo, I must’ve retained some terpenes because a subtle version of that smell has stayed with the infused oil. I added 1 drop of a lovely lavender oil and the final oil smells truly beautiful. I might have to grow that one for topicals again - the aroma is really something. Wonder if it was the Afghani or the Critical Mass in the genetics that give the sweet sweet aroma.

Great day to you Sue, and all the forest patrons!

@Amy Gardner a lot of Afghani cultivars have that deep sweet taste and aroma to them. My Pakistan Chitral Kush x Erdpurt had a fuel thing going on early. After a 2 month cure it tastes like Cherry cough drops now.

Do you happen to have a journal with pck x erdpurt in it? I'm growing three for outdoors this year. I got the deformed pheno for all three and I'm wondering what it normally grows out like.

You made me hear my Dad holler, in my head, "Damn son do you think I can afford to Air Condition the City of New Orleans?" We seldom needed heat, NO is natural sauna more times that not. :laugh:

Peace

You're an old hand at the game. :high-five: Somewhere along the line you may be able to start juicing too. I'm getting excited about the possibilities for the daughter, and hope someday to work it out so I can juice too.

A house with a barn would come in handy. A barn set up to grow cannabis. :laughtwo:

Your cream sounds divine, and I'm thrilled that if gives you relief. I've started doing all of my creams with Devil's Carnival. It may be the strongest I grow for THC values and it's likely high in b-caryophyllene as well, given its coloration. Someday I'd like to get this pheno tested to see what it's really offerings. Next batch of oil I'll make with the addition of some THCa oil. So far all mine have been just THC. You have to be more careful with the THCa storage, but I'd like to see if my friends find it more effective.

LOLOLOL :rofl:

That is great Amy. I'm hoping my next attempt will get there. I'm not going to hold my breath though, although I will do the technique of seeing me harvest, smelling my harvest, curing my harvest.

Thanks for the added energies....I'll take all I can get. :high-five:

:circle-of-love:

Also morning Amy :hugs:

The energy you're cultivating is the feeling of satisfaction of having a successful harvest in the bag. That feeling is all tied up in those bits you mention, but it's the satisfaction that draws results.

I'm particularly fond of the excitement of opening the cupboard and seeing jars of it. :yahoo: :slide: :yahoo:
 
I’d love to be juicing. I am ‘supposed’ to green juice every day but find it physically too demanding. I need a new kitchen where all such appliances can just live on the bench where you use them! Can’t manage the in&out of the cupboard all the time. :rolleyes:

This has reminded me I’d thought about infusing some non-decarb’d CBDCC bud to blend with the decarb’d. Might still try that. It’s probably a question for the study hall (which I’ve barely visited lately - bad Amy!), but can you elaborate about that storage thing with the acid form please?
:Namaste:

Yep that’s the feeling to inhabit - nothing more. The details flow from it...

THCa is what we call an "aggressive" molecule, meaning its drive is to convert to THC. You need to store it in dark and cool conditions so that it slows the transformation. A fridge works well. Leave a formulation with THCa out on a counter and you'll have a formulation with THC before too long.
 
Ok thanks - does same go for CBDa?

That I don't know Amy, but I'll try to find out. Given the aggressive nature of THCa I'd be surprised if the same thing didn't apply. Decarb is a function of time and temperature. Lower temps and longer times will still achieve decarb over time. I just don't know how aggressive CBDa is.

Hey banana friend. It's a fact i go to the store almost every morning to buy organic bananas. I can't eat those who have been treated with god knows all chemicals... It's a bit sad you can't grow them in a tent, well a real big one that is. I will sure test this and send you a pic. :thumb:

I don't know if they make any difference in early bloom, but definately from mid to late bloom they'll respond positively.

I tried a regular banana yesterday and had to toss the majority of it. There was so little flavor I was shocked.

I like it. I might start a scrap book of all the leaves of all my weeds. They are all have different sizes and whatnot. Maybe even press a few buds. Fun.

Cheers

I press out two big fan leaves between a big heavy book from every plant I grow. I do two to pick one.....eventually I will incorporate the pressed leaves into some sort of table top presentation.

This is a wonderful idea that I may adapt. Pressing the leaves gives me more creative options.

Good afternoon everyone :love:

What an interesting day. I accompanied my senior friends to a BINGO at a local nursing home and learned two things:
- I’ll do everything possible to stay out of those smelly spaces in my old age and
- I am not a BINGO player.

There’s nothing about the game I enjoy as a participant other than winning - and I did win. :battingeyelashes: The game just isn’t for me. I enjoy calling the games, but a game-player I’m not.

I spent time between numbers called posting around the forum. Lol!

Some of those posts were pictures of this magnificent Carnival I’m growing. She’s taken to foxtailing in the best possible way - all over. :yahoo:

I’m getting excited about the Carnival. She still looks like a couple weeks, doesn’t she? I’m stunned at what she has going on.

Alright... I have some chores to get to. Until later.....:ciao:
 
She’s kicking out nanners too, pretty much all over the plant. I’ve decided not to worry about it. Worse things could happen than I end up with a couple seeds, but I’ve learned that late nanners aren’t the threat most fear.

The only plant with her is Red Diesel. A cross between Red Diesel and Carnival might be an interesting development, IMHO.
