The Joy Of Growing - SweetSue Goes Perpetual

[UncleCannabis]

I completely forgot to get pictures of the Tiny Closet. I was anticipating getting them after dinner and before lights out and then I ran into the friend who introduced me to Dale and I brought her home for a visit. Time got away from me, but it was time well spent. She suffers from COPD and hasn't been able to smoke cannabis in over seven years, a fact completely unknown to me. I sent her home with a sizable slice of my Baked Brownies and a hope that I'll be able to keep her in some kind of edibles for relief.

I think that may be one of the sweetest joys we experience in our group, and one we all strive for, from what I read as I wander. It's really our whole purpose for being here, to use cannabis to relieve suffering. That made my whole week worth while.

I hope your day was blessed with opportunities for you to reach out and soften the blows life sometimes brings to those around us. There is no finer way to spend our time here than in actively spreading the actions of loving.

Make me proud people. Share like there's no tomorrow. Spread that joy everywhere.

It's a coincidence that you mentioned this Sue. I just found out today that a very good friend of mine has been diagnosed with some type of ocular nerve disease that is causing him to lose his eyesight. It has progressed to the point that he is now legally blind and has now had to resign from his job. Needless to say he sounded down in the dumps when I spoke to him today over the phone.
I do know that MJ has been proven to be effective for glaucoma and some other eye diseases so I'll be bringing him some free meds and edibles from the garden when I go to visit him tomorrow.
I figure that it can't hurt and could possibly help with his condition. If it doesn't help with the eye condition at least it should help him to deal with the psychological aspects of all of this. I can only imagine how he must be feeling right now.

As you say, hopefully the fruits of our gardens can touch others in a positive way and help to soften the unfortunate blows that life has bestowed upon them.

Wishing your friend the best of luck with her condition and I hope that your edibles donation will help.

Do I detect a giddy sue?
I say let's do it. I need to chop Booboo first, a week to ten days, maybe sooner

Re: Clone wars...

We just lost some killer Hell's Fire phenos at work because nobody took the time to clone them properly. For reference, they tested in at 33% and 34% THC but I can't buy any to show you because my boss is keeping the 3-4oz from each plant to enter into our local cannabis cup. Anyway, we have more HF seeds, but I'm scared we won't get the same phenos, which smelled and looked delish.

Hey Mystery.....what are the genetics of Hell's Fire? Sounds great & seems CO dispensary scene due to internal growing requirement may be of higher grade than many of CA dispensaries. CA clubs have "contract growers" who are large scale & produce high grade but also a lot of independent growers. Inconsistent at best from what I hear lately.

so glad for you to have the joy/experience of helping another with your cannabis, Sue....I, too, am in a position to help others with their ailments and there is nothing quite like being on the receiving end of a compliment like "my pain has been diminished/eliminated because of your medical marijuana." It's hard to explain, but it sends me over the moon every time.....

Right on.

I just gave a couple buds of Buddha Haze x Blue Blood to a young woman suffering from seizures and nerve pain. She said the CBD in the Blue Blood helped settle a few fuguey states and relieved her neck pain - got a big hug for it.

 

[Shawnee]

great story, Gray, isn't it grand.......?

 

[SweetSue]

I believe it Shawnee. Every single time. Makes me want to just hug 420, you know??

And Graytail, that's great to hear. 420's plan at work.

If those pistils get any longer, I want to see a French braid out of them.

Good one Major!! LMAO!!

I'm sure that a French braid session has already made it's way into the planning worksheet somewhere.

Drenches: The Right Tool For The Job

These buckets are the best!!! The markings make it easy to measure liquid volume.

I keep additional on the side to work in from the top and kick-start the wicking action of the bottom drench.

Oh Joy! Oh Rapture!!! The one gallons fit like a dream.

 

[JuanCarlos]

Glad you got some buckets that work for you girl. Those markings to measure your water volume are a great idea Sue, you are so ingenious!

Why Thank you Juan. You deserve the hug. Here. Another couple. That frustrated me from the very beginning Juan, and having them on hand today made the work flow so sweetly, I was humming the entire time. Two more buckets and a couple small drain covers to go in the bottom for draining and we're good to go.

It really made me chortle with joy when I carried the soaking wet new pots through the living room to the Tiny Closet in the bucket, by the handle.

Jamaican Dream (Day 11)

Dark Devil Auto (Day 11)

Tomorrow I'll do the Thunderpaws.

Yep, I'm happy.


You were a godsend Juan. I can't thank you enough for the inspiration.

I've just produced smokeable for my Aunt who normally can't smoke due to really bad asthma. She has major back issues from early gymnastics and later car accidents. Near instant pain relief and no cough, no inhaler, no neti pot, no problem.

I set that entire plant aside just for her.

Girl, I am just lazy so I figured up an easy way to drench. You really took it that step further with the markings and pairing them with those fabric pots. Kudos to you!

Ahhhhh..... Sweet angels.

THE TRAINING

Groundskeeper Willie: "Ya Got The Shinning Boy "

Bart: "Don't you mean The Shining?"

Groundskeeper Willie: Shh! Ya wanna get sued?"



That took forever to type in.

OK Susan, pull it together!

Sorry guys, it was relentless. Down to business.

The Unknown Seed (Day 37) shows definite signs of flowering and no signs of being male.

Time to get serious. The straps stay on until I decide otherwise. She took to this surprisingly well.

We have a new shoot. How sweet.

I was careful not to interfere with the bud sites.

Already playing with ideas to support buds, now that I forced her all horizontal.

This is such fun! oops! Domestic responsibility calls.

We can't share testimony like this often enough. Get it documented that, although we are obsessed with the glories and challenges of cultivating cannabis as a hobby, the real purpose for this artistry is relief from suffering and the freeing of the creative spirit. Ok, obviously my opinion there, but really, this is why we grow. The love the plants bring into our lives is sweet bonus pay for being attentive caregivers.

I gotta run. Need to burn off some of this energy before I spontaneously combust. LOL! You think I joke. Haha! A lot snappin' and poppin' in my brain right now. I need a walk. My daughter needs a shopper. An opportunity to also spread joy. See how life does that when you let it?

Paradise DeLahaze (Day 40) Scheduled for her Trans/Tea drench.

Enough said.

Following The CAT

I have a number of plants going through their transition with the CAT drench, three to be exact. Let's see how they're looking.

Auto Jock Horror x Auto Amnesia (Day 59) got a TransWater drench. She's 6 days out from her second CAT.

The homemade pots fit right nice in there.

New Year's Bag Seed (Day 56) got her second CAT drench today.

Auto Jack Herer (Day 67) is 3 days out from her first CAT.

There ya go. Just about done for the day. I'm having fun, but this is convincing me to stick with my plan to simplify my world.

Nice music playing in my ear. Maroon 5, Secret. Sweet tones. Whew! Thank you my music Angel. MUAH! I don't even know if he comes by here. It's good to be me.


Only one more post to go. Ahhhh ...... Sweet life.
