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

Every time I share a wake 'n bake with my daughter I can feel her father chortle with pride from the great beyond. Lol!

This is sweet beyond belief. My daughter is my smoke buddy. :slide: We are not your typical family. :rofl:
 
That candy cane is sure to be great. Does it smell like candy canes?

That would be sweet, wouldn't it? :battingeyelashes: Nope, I think the reference was to the canes of buds covered in the sugar candy of trichomes. It is sweet though. The smell is difficult to pin down. I've asked the daughter to give it some thought. Her olfactory system's more refined than mine, but this one stumps her too.

I might ask Crop King for the lab results. Hadn't thought of that.

The smell used to repel me, and it still makes me a little uneasy, to be honest. Lol! For her I've developed an appreciation.

Brownie mix...... I almost forgot to put it on the list. Time to go shopping. It's a good day for a walk. :ciao:
 
I'm out of both Carnival and Dark Devil Auto. You know, every time this happens I wonder how in the world I let it get to this point. I'm determined to allow myself to indulge my favorite chemovars and fit everything else in when I'm ahead of the game with them. I've decided to plant two Carnivals when I restart the perpetual in June. Everything else can wait. DDAs will be running non-stop in the tiny closet.

I intent to be awash in purple cobs. :slide:

Since I'm out of my favorites that means every time I reach for something to get high I'm compromising. @Graytail, you know what I mean, don't you? :battingeyelashes: I've determined this is the perfect time to do a reset of my ECS. I just had my last available brownie and I'll be abstaining now until what?......3 days??? I'll have to review the protocol. Lol! I think it's abstain for two, one hit three times a day for day three and four, and find the OTD on day six.

I'm at the perfect place to do this. The seasonal change has me washed in sunlight much longer than I'm staring out the window into inky blackness, cannabis stores are a bit low and my continual consumption is draining them more quickly than I'm comfortable with, and I have the trip coming up. Wouldn't it be nice to hit California and Arizona with a clean system, set to a lower dose?

I've been meditating now for over four months. I'm calmer than I recall ever being, and I'm pretty good now at noticing the disturbance to my peace at the starting vibrations and redirecting the energy to joy. That should help when I start to lose it, eh? :rofl:

Whatever happens, remember you love me. :battingeyelashes::green_heart:

Be careful I hear those wacky California's got some strong stuff.

I think with all you do around here you are allowed to go crazy once in awhile, without repercussions. o_O:green_heart:

I'm counting on it sending me into space. Lol! When I do a reset it isn't necessarily to reduce my consumption as much as to give my cells a breathing space. :rofl: I excell at the soaring buzz, and I work best unfettered. It can wear the body down after a time though. :battingeyelashes: One of the things I love about cannabis is the way you can reset the system in 72 hours. I'm taking 6 days because this is a once a year event for my system.

I tried it earlier and discovered I need lots of daylight to get through it sane, but then I got some kind of bug too, which wasn't in the plans, so I quit before I started.

I feel much stronger now. :slide:

Was goin to say I’m sure Sue is banking on it Doob! But there, she beat me to it :thumb:

Always!
You’re uncanny you know (you do know, I know you do :battingeyelashes:) - I might join you quietly after the weekend. I’ve been aiming for it each weekend for about 3 now, and my arrow keeps missing the mark ;) :rollit:. Wanting to reset for the new CBDCC dose :)

All the best with it - this time you’ll be a couple of days ahead of me. Hopefully this wil just be the extra oomph I need to get it done. Hope it works for you this time and doesn’t get sidewinded like last time.

:Namaste:

The shock effect just hit me a moment ago. Lol! “Time for a Sunday wake ‘n.......oops!” :rofl:

I’ll be watching for you to slip through the door a couple days in Amy. :hugs: We’ll get through it together. I’ll try my best to keep my sanity in check. Lol! I plan to walk a lot. :battingeyelashes:

The hardest part is the first couple days, and I have plenty planned to keep me occupied. Having long days makes all the difference for me. I’ll remember to keep this practice for early spring or late summer.

It occurred to me that I started this right after beginning the practice of intermittent fasting, but that’s going rather well, so it shouldn’t be a complicating factor.

I do tend to jump all in, don’t I?

Good morning everyone :love:

No cannabis at all and another 2.5 hours before I can eat. Sounds like a good time to get some gardening hires done.

The Black D.O.G. Is at day 48 of flower and this puppy is done. I think I’ll take her down in the next couple days. Neiko taught me to end the fruity ones in a Transplant and she’s just received that followed by a TransWater, so I’m confident she’s ready to go.




I’m finding big patches of amber trichomes. The daughter and I discussed trichomes development yesterday and she informed me that hers will be couch lock amber. :rofl: This pup is right there.


Some days it’s easier to get these pictures. Electric Shaman is using a really cool microscope setup, whose name escapes me at the moment, but damn! Nice shots.

Of course I’m sure they aren’t as easy when you still have the branch attached to the plant. Lol!




I’m loving the colors. We’ll have to grow this one again.


Yep, despite the timing this girl’s ready to cross the finish line. Maybe Tuesday would be a good day. I have a senior safety gathering I’m attending with the group on Wednesday and I’m not ready for tomorrow, although I could be. She caught me off guard with the quick flush to amber trichomes.

I have more chores to get to. :slide: I’ll catch up to you all later. Carry on with your deliberately joyful day. :ciao:
 
Looking good Sue, the plants too ;) Quicky for the day, were you gonna try cob on C.Cane??? Green Days..

Why thank you kind sir. :battingeyelashes: Cobbing seems to be made for sativas Hacker. We have some members trying out the indicas, myself included, but this process really brings out something special with sativa terpenes.

This plant is destined for brownies. :battingeyelashes:

That also sounds good, but why not Indicas..????? Does it not break down or cure right??? I thought you had asked a few months ago on here for people to try Indies.... I was so planning that for this fall... IDK, but I sure hope you can cob them cause I am gonna have like 5 lbs of it come fall.... Green Days my valued friends and all
 
Fabulous macro shots of Candy! :yummy:

...
For if and when times get tough between eats. Drink hot/warm water with fresh lemon, or salty water using a good quality rock salt, from the sea preferably, but inland rock salt will do in a pinch ;). I find I have to get the salt just right or it’s not pleasant, but when it’s in the sweet spot it’s actually very satisfying and eases the hunger wobblies! I end up with about a 1/4-1/2teasp per about 6ounces of water. Saltier than the ocean, but only just. Just sip on it slowly.

You can get quite euphoric from ketosis so look out for that! :rofl:

Seriously though, you can also experience something ‘they’ call keto-flu, where you get flu-like symptoms for a short while. They pass, it’s the immune function in flux (not the technical term for it!). So don’t be alarmed if that happens, just rest. :thumb:

Hope it goes great for you and the daughter Sue!

:Namaste:


Ahh more learning to do. I've never been correct weight for height, even on the low threshold.
I eat one meal a day and very rarely have breakfast lunch or any kind of snacks. My one meal is balanced and very large. Learning to drink more water too , I use lemon and ginger in a 2ltr bottle over 2 days if I can.
That ketosis flu I get and didn't know. Now the achy bones and head cold fits. I don't get sick, so it weird. I have a hit shower and go to bed. All good in the morning.

Being this skinny I have the opposite issues, and feeling nausea while 2 bites into anything sucks.

My partner was slightly obese and we stopped processed foods and went to raw sugar or honey. She has lost 40 kgs and has changed her metabolism so it's like mine. Processes everything and uses it, but now like me she struggles toaintain or put on weight.
Just wanted to share the other side of the coin.

Much love and healing to you and you familly Sue.
Just a thought have u looked into fermented foods?

I'm not suggesting to not cob indicas, because we need to find out what value they have as fermented medicines and foods too. I'm simply saying that the spiritual buzz I'm seeking won't come from an indica. I have one of my own, a 2:1 CBD-dominant, that I've cobbed so the indica queen daughter can try, but so far they do nothing for my sativa-fueled system.

I'm looking forward to how those cobbing indicas respond to the cobs, you primary among them Hacker. :battingeyelashes:

I do my best to have some fermented food every week. It used to be a staple in people's diets, but processing industries disrupted the force.

Is there no cannabinoid therapy that would counter the nausea and allow you to eat more robustly? What therapy are you currently using, if you don't mind sharing? You're the first I've come across that's shared this particular challenge.

Your description of your partner's changes after changing her eating patterns and choices gives me great hope. Ever since I stumbled onto the idea with focus I've been thinking about how we've structured our societies to promote obesity, and how those eating patterns led to my husband's early death.

I still have difficulty with the part I played in hastening his demise. I realize I was doing the best I could, but when I consider all the things we could have done differently......

The negative reaction to that thought shows me I'm headed down the wrong emotional path, so I'll detour to something more life-affirming.

Ok..... wiped the tears away and shook off the doldrums trying to settle into my psyche. This is a glorious day, filled with possibility. I'm getting ready to meet up with my coffee and conversation group and get on with the rest of the day. I don't think I have any garden chores today. Being down to three plants in flower and two in veg feels like I have no garden at all. :rofl:

Before I run off to good company and decent coffee let me see if I can snatch a good picture of one of the girls....... here ya go, Red Diesel said "Me, me. Let it be me!" Lol!


She had her first CAT yesterday. :slide: I remember Doc once saying you wait on the CAT until they put out the small shiny leaves at the top, like these. :battingeyelashes:



She lost a lot of thrip-damaged leaves. I'm not going to bother messing with them any more, just let her ride to the end. She still has another month to go.


Time for me to dash. Continue on with your joyful day. I'll be back later. :ciao:
 
My daughter is my smoke buddy.

Birds of a feather Sue, my daughter came to me at 16 years old, nervously sharing that she smoked Cannabis. I NEVER shared anything with my young children about my Cannabis grows or use. My detached man cave was a no child zone (my grow area). One reason, and only one reason ... felony bullcrap ... I could lose my family, my job, my house and my freedom. If it wasn't that messed up legally, I'd have never hidden anything about it from my kids.

Anyway, I calmed her nerves and strongly explained my legal concerns, and not any other misled parental finger-shaking, I knew she was going to grow up and do what needed to be done, experience the world. A few weeks later at a July 4th party, we shared our first joint (hers) and it was bagseed crap. It was maybe at best a 5 out of 10 rating. I slipped away, went and twisted up one of my 8 month cured top shelf Northern Lights nugs, and shared a few pulls with her. Does responsibly smoking or drinking with my 16 year old make me a bad parent? I think the opposite, but I'm not really a "normal" guy. I felt parents should teach responsible use of most everything consumable, money, food, recreational things etc, the age when that occurs should be defendant upon the maturity level of that individual, not some random number dictated by a group of law makers. My strongest warning other than the legal part was operating a vehicle ... DO NOT drive under the influence. She has always, except one time, headed my warning, since I was open enough as a parent to not make her hide her various entries in adulthood.

Anyway, she had never smoked really top shelf Cannabis, and 2-3 pulls and 15 minutes later she was near paranoid freaking out high. She stuck to me like glue for the next 2 hours, until after the fireworks show was over. It gave her whole new perspective and appreciation for knowing limits while imbibing, and it felt great to guide my teenage offspring into responsible recreational use of Cannabis. We did at a later time talk in depth about all recreational chemicals, and that Cannabis isn't the same as the majority of other substances used by her peers and available to her, like ADD drugs, X, etc. Later than fall, she drank her first wine with her friends, came home all loud and obnoxious, and then gut heaved hugging the toilet for over an hour. I don't think she has drank alcohol a dozen times in the ensuing 20 years. :laugh:

I love my baby girl, OK, she's 35 years old now with 3 babies and a husband (whom I love like a son, a great guy), but she'll always be MY baby!

Your family is not really that different Sue, it's just that most parents I've known want to hide their socially or legally "unapproved" events from their peers, more about social judgement than anything else. I never wanted to be a hypocritical parent, it's a fine line to walk when you are their true role model.

Peace
Keith

PS: You can tell I don't have a grow ongoing huh? Posting like Sue ... OK, that's not even possible!

Hahaha! I might have to agree with you on that Keith. I am a prolific poster. :rofl:

The biggest differences in our parenting skills may have been employment. Dale and I spent the vast majority of our work history self-employed, and thankfully I've never peed into a cup for any job. Of course, during the dark years I took a job precisely because I could have been randomly tested, and used that as incentive to make us stop for 8 dismal years. We also homeschooled the children, removing the possibility of something slipping in the presence of a teacher or school employee that might have led to problems with authorities.

We also didn't start growing until the children were adults and on their own. I can't say that I'd have been as open with it had we been growing. Too much risk involved when they can rip your children from your arms.

I poked around the new 420Magazine Web interface a few days ago, you are in the top five in most all categories, and in only three years are the most prolific image contributor ever! I could never outpost the Master!

I did successfully play "beat the piss test" for over 30 years Sue, the details would probably change how drug testing is implemented so I'll never share how we did it. My career did not lend itself to being drug test exempted, especially my particular workplace. I gamed the game, sometimes stressful, and at times exhilarating to beat the bullcrap system. It helped that I have a BIL that is both a Medical Doc and a Cannabis consumer, and one of my best friends since childhood. I was more always more concerned about my grows, I was extremely meticulous concerning my clandestine grows as the consequence could be Felony Distribution even though I never sold a single gram.

I was far from a perfect parent, Sue very far, and I doubt such a thing actually exists. Each of my children is so different, only two could be parented with honesty and trust, the other two, not a chance, we had to give them the full treatment. I can be a totally hardcore when required, but it's far from my default. :laugh:

I would surely do a few things differently if I had to be a to parent to youth again, but thank God I'm too old for that journey again. One thing I think I know for sure Sue ... you raised your kids with love in your heart. That's the best we can ever do while parenting, being engaged and showing them our love and good direction. I don't think I failed as a parent, but I surely did some things wrong. The feedback from my kids as they have become parents has validated that we did impart some measure of morality, honestly and human compassion.

I'm setting up house still and hope to get to the grow part next week. I'm really missing it more than I thought I would, I have ample reserves in the freezer. The moving boxes are mostly unpacked and I'm planning out my new setup! I really like the design phase of a new grow room, decades ago there were only a few choices to be made. Hugs, best wishes and positive energy for you Sue, enjoy your upcoming trip one of the nicest sports on the West Coast.

Did I just hear someone call me TS concerning this post length? :laugh:
Just ribbing you TS!
Once I start up the grow, I'll have fewer words, and settle back into reading more than posting.


Peace
Keith
