Mango is the smell of Myrcene, which is the terpene responsible for couch lock in what we call indica chemovars. When you're determining whether someone wants a sedative chemovar or a stimulating one, you're really asking "myrcene or non-myrcene?" In sativas myrcene expresses differently because the mix of other terpenes create a different effect, but if you stop and think about it, almost all of the sativas give you a moment early in when you get a little tired. Most of us push past this and move on to the stimulating effects. That brief tiredness, IMO, is the myrcene expressing, right before synergy begins to temper the sedative effects.
It's notable that Carnival never creates this effect in me. I'm looking forward to testing this chemovar out. I'm hoping for something very uplifting.
Hi Sue, I told you I'd come over for a visit! Oh, I see you're going to post on how you make your oil....I'll be front and center for that one! Looking forward to it, thanks in advance....I need to get into the medibles and oil more....you sure are a 5 star pro at that now....you go!

Why thank you Shawnee.
Good to see you girl. I'm on my over to the Fresh Harvest Infused thread right now to post the latest update on how I've modified the method to use dried buds, ones dried in the dehydrator or low and slo in the fridge. It keeps getting easier and easier.
Damn I Will check the threat Sue! Next harvest is oil time and today is baking time with the cmog butter .
Is there any way you would Share your brownie recept? That would be amazing!
Anyway... off to te store after a good walk with the dog
have a great day!

Myrcene is the main terpene in the green pheno of Malawi. You're right about sativas expressing it differently. There's nothing sedative about Malawi unless you smoke enough to stupify yourself. It helps with THC absorbtion from what I've read. Maybe part of the potency is from it.Mango is the smell of Myrcene, which is the terpene responsible for couch lock in what we call indica chemovars.

And since you love your purple buds (who can't help but), I'll leave this picture here.

Sue do you by any chance (I figure if anyone has it, you do) have a chart with the different terpenes and what they are associated with? Do you also have a chart or breakdown of what the different THC and CBDs are and what they are believed to be effective in treating (x is associated with inflammation, z is associated with seizures etc).
I know I have seen them randomly through out other different peoples journals but I can't remember where I saw them. Thanks in advance hun!!! Hope you are having a wonderful Monday morning!!

Hey guys, I'm here! 
Long, busy day. You'll see. 
You know me well. Thank you for the lovely flowers. My favorite kind. 
That makes a lot of sense. Thank you for that spot of clarity. That's my first hug of the day. Like I said.... So good to be home and here. I don't think I've ever been this late checking in. Not to worry, I had a wonderful time, just nonstop. After this I'll do Callanetics and wake up. 
There's so much to learn and only so many hours. I haven't allowed myself to jump headlong into terpenes and flavonoids yet. That rabbit hole will have to wait. LOL! I appreciate any little gems I come across. Sooner or later there'll be a thread, if I know me. 
I do not have such a resource blogged, but I seem to recall one around here somewhere. Here....I went looking. I found a couple interesting offerings from a blog at Alchimia
This general overview of the most popular terpenes can be a good jumping off point. It's very limited, but covers the basics on these.
Halent Labs gets credit for this lovely. Enjoy. 
Good evening everyone
I've been busy start to finish today. The first and third Monday of each the days out never station café meets, and today was the third, so all I really had time to do beforehand was to plant the ATF seeds and take a second clone of the CBD Critical Cure. I want to increase production of the chemovar to allow me to share if I choose to without stressing family supplies.
Came home, had a nice, long visit with the daughter and followed the impulse to strip a couple more flowering girls up to what I believe will be the best the plant can offer, somewhere around a foot from the tops of the branches. I want to focus all of the plant's energies from this point on to building dense colas.
Got it a nice batch of goodies for cooking.
Devil's Carnival 1.1
Thin Mint GSC.
Devil's Carnival is looking mighty nice. I'm so glad this one came in under 5'.
Thin Mint GSC smells so strongly of lemon every time we bump into each other it's shocking. That suggests a great euphoric experience.
Another couple weeks to go with her.
It took me a while to get all the trimmings processed. I already have enough trimmings for omelettes, so these got frozen. Drenches filled the next hour, mostly admiring the girls. LOL! Then it was time to jar up Candy Cane 3 after 50 hours in the dehydrator.
This was taken at 10 to 5 this evening, when I jarred them up. I just checked a while ago, and they were at about 72%. I'll check in the morning. I'll be using a new technique for me to finish the drying, using rice to get the humidity down quickly. Scientific worked it out and InTheShed blogged. I'll keep you guys informed on how it goes.
I almost made it out of the kitchen at that point, but then I decided to finish decarbing my CBD Critical Cure oil with a small oil bath. I was expecting it to take about 30, maybe 45 minutes, which was what the previous batch took, with half the volume.
I started at 5:07 PM. I finished making the oil at 8:15. That oil started to actively decarb at 5:15. - it was hot out of the oven - and it bubbled steady until 7:50 . 
My speculation is I have some incredibly potent oil staring at me. It didn't slow down until about five minutes from the finish, and I stirred constantly to help release the CO2.
I'm impressed as hell with this batch. Better than 2.5 hours of steady decarboxylation at 220 - 235 degrees F. That's a lot of THC and CBD and who knows what else being converted. It was made with buds dried low and slo. I'll have to look to see how the buds in the last batch were dried. Hmmm..... If it turns out low and slo is doing a better job of potentiating....Its much too early to speculate Susan.
I don't know if I've communicated how oil-making lights up my soul. LOL! Yeah....maybe I have.
Next time I won't bother with the 36-hour cooking part of the process. I'll simply do it with the oil bath like I would a fresh harvest oil. After stirring obsessively for there hours it'll be infused.
I wonder though...
could the 36-hr cook be contributing to the quality of the oil? I'm sure it must. I'll have to compare tastes.
The process energizes me. As soon as I finished the oil, after standing over the stove for hours, completely fascinated by the alchemy in front of my eyes, I couldn't resist the impulse to get out of the apartment and take a walk. Off I went to the local supermarket, in the dark, for the energy release and muscle rejuvination, but also to grab some grapes to snack on, and pick up a small stainless canister I'd spotted the other day while shopping.
Perfect for oil-making. I'll need some way to pick it up safely, but I can work that part out. This'll hold two cups easily, with lots of room, and I rarely make an oil with more than a cup of carrier oil. I'd been watching for something just like this. Cost me all of $3. 
I may grab another when I'm down there again tomorrow.
That brought me here. Happy and exhausted. Maybe Callanetics can wait until tomorrow. I may turn in early tonight. I don't recall any dinner in there.

Sue....everything is looking lovely in your garden hun!!!! Hey, question for you.....do you use back building on your flowers?? Can't remember if you have said so before or not. Congrats on your most recent harvest. I think I'd like to have about a gallon of your oil!!! Brownie town!!! Hahaha

What strain us that Sue?When that many of you respond to a photo that strongly I listen. I entered it in the gallery contest.
Thank you all.
If I win the contest I'll order those CBD Mango Haze seeds CBD Crew helped develop that I've been hankering for.

Morning Scottay.
I don't do Backbuilding. I tried it during my first Carnival run, and proved that it works, and when I get serious about that NOTM contents I'll likely start doing it again, but for now I don't need bag appeal. The technique does nothing to put on weight, just reshapes the way the blossoms stack themselves. Are you using the method Scottay?
Good morning everyone
Slept like a baby, and I've been hard at it since I woke up trying to catch up with correspondences and posts that got overlooked yesterday.
After this I'll get to my breakfast. My walking companion moved further out temporarily and she's switching our walks to early afternoon so she doesn't run the risk of hitting a deer driving at night. I'm good with walking any time of the day, but early afternoons are particularly delicious. This worked out nicely for both of us. She's in transition right now. The house sold and she's staying with her daughter's family until her next place opens up. She'll need the emotional outlet until she has her own space again. We may find ourselves walking more frequently. I forgot to share this on Saturday. J likes to bring along small trimmings from recent harvests that still require drying, and this Chem Dawg cut got hung up as soon as I came in the door.
Just about ready to taste.
These guys make me feel so special, bearing canna gifts every time they visit. 
A couple shots to fire up the joy levels. Blue Dream is beginning to shoot up vertically.
I was considering transferring her to the larger pot vacated by Candy Cane the other day, and I'll probably go ahead and do that later today, after I get back from coffee with my friend. She just got back from a visit to Arizona that included a side trip to Mexico, her first time beyond our national borders. I'm looking forward to stories. LOL!
Thin Mint GSC is panting to the finish line. Her flush doesn't start until the 23rd. She'll be ready as she can be by then.
Carnival 4.2 is going to beat her by a few days. I'm scheduling her harvest for Sunday next.
Maybe this'll give me enough to make some CCO. All I want is one small syringe of about 4-5 grams. 
Time to get some food into the grumbling stomach. I'll be back later. In the meantime, see how much lightness and love you can bring to the day you're experiencing. Your ECS works most efficiently when you're laughing heartily and loving deeply. There's the goal for the day.

I live in a continuious state of enhanced euphoria. Anyone who truly believes that being high is a detriment and a state of being that promotes a lack of motivation and incompetence isn't paying attention to the real world.

Over the years I've found being high 24/7 isn't the right choice for a lot of people. I don't really know any of those people anymore. .

Today is the 17th of October, the scheduled morning to remove the branch of Carnival 4 I set into a bag two months back.
I don't get any rush of terpenes, but everything looks in order. No mold. *Whew!* That was the biggest concern. Not that I worried, mind you.
I have 8 grams of cured Cannabis to add to the remains of her harvest. It appears I have about a half ounce still jarred.
Wake 'n bake material. I can tell you it kicks ass. Same consistent high. I have to break it up smaller. The buds are dense enough they don't want to burn without passing the flame over 4-5 times. Lol! These kinds of challenges I look forward to.
I feel like I'm beginning to understand the pheno. Next year ought to be interesting.
In another week the Ultra Dawg comes out of the bucket.

Sue.... I have helped in many a garden. I have used back building on the flowers on one plant and not the one next to it (same strain/pheno) and the one that we used the back building technique we actually got about 32 grams more from that plant even though it actually looked a bit smaller in stature. It hasn't worked like that every time but about 7 outta 10 did give us better harvest weights. But usually nothing like the 32 grams on the first experiment. The effects were the same though sooooooo. It DOES work but I don't think it warrants the time spent on it. Now training on the other hand is a must!!! Abuse those limbs!!!! Twist/pull/yank and bend those bad jewels! They will return in kind with lovely flowers!!!!

Good to know Scottay. I'll amend my response to the question accordingly.
I'm still learning to turn that training into consistent harvests in excess of 1 ounce. I'm missing a part of the formula, and I haven't determined what it is yet, but I suspect it's a combination of getting the training down and more light.
' Is there ever enough light for the obsessed cannabis cultivator? Lol!
Just went thru a few posts and wow wow!!
