The Joy Of Growing - SweetSue Goes Perpetual

And please fix the "like" slipstream. My virtual feet are beginning to feel all the running around that's necessary to keep on top of the myriad of conversations I'm trying to follow. Trying to be so patient.
 
Here, here...
 
Here, here...

When I get frustrated with this I always remind myself that you're more overextended than I am, am I not correct? So I figure you're way more exasperated by this loss than I. Feeling sympathy for you makes my frustration inconsequential. I feel for you my friend.

Take our solace where we can.

:passitleft:
 
Oh Snap! What the heck are those techs doing now! Not only have they not repaired the "Like" situation yet but they have the "share" links right next to the like button and I can't turn them off; one slip of the finger and BAM! The last thing most of us want to do is accidentally share our grows. It's not like we all live in one of those blessed states.


Rico Suavay, Help... :helpsmilie::surrender::helpsmilie::surrender::helpsmilie::surrender:

my thoughts exactly, It looks better now

That's the kind of space and light management I like to see. :thumb:

It's been 9 hours and I just cut into the second slice. It appears I hit that dose almost right on target. Breaking it up like this I found it wearing off after 4 hours. If I take a full slice in the morning it carries me the entire 8-9 hours as an edible. I don't know about you, but I find that pretty damned impressive.

So it looks like I do have a higher tolerance than the Wizard or the Chimp. Who would have guessed? Certainly not me. :laughtwo:

Hah! perfect place to post something I've been wanting to ask the community at large about.

I'm finding more and more that "effect" in edibles (in my case at least) is not so much a tolerance level thing (I have no idea how tolerant I am to THC). What I do find is that upping the dose of edibles after a certain point does not notably increase the intensity of the high but rather the duration. Seems we (wife & I) can only metabolize ingested THC at a certain rate so more == longer not so much intenser high. An exception to this (sort of *), is the bubbelicious from first grow which when ingested in large doses will render lower body useless with upper torso mobile and energetic. * sort of: Increasing the dose past this effect will again only affect duration. I have tried doses up to 4x my plateau dose with no noticeable effect other than duration.

Inhaling (vapour) in increasing doses, unlike ingesting, does affect an increase in high intensity; which is one reason why I wonder about the validity of tolerance levels in edibles.

My wife and I can't be alone in noticing this?
I have not come across other people writing about this in any "this is how my high was" posts. Mostly one gets: "I ate this (too) much and thought I'd die/fly to the moon/etc" or "edibles don't affect me at all" type posts.
 
I can certainly vouch for the validity of your findings. That's, in effect, what I just documented. My full-dose slice will carry me for 8-9 hours, quite an impressive feat. I don't get uncontrollably high, or even anything akin to widely fluctuating ups or downs. I hit a consistent level and tend to stay at that level until it's time for the next dose, typically 8-10 hours in duration.

It's notable that this has been my experience with Sativa dominants it's still fairly new an experience for me, but I'm liking it.
 
OMG, 311 pages later and I'm caught up (and subbed)!

Now I feel like I can actually join the convos, lol.

Ps.. Congrats on the harvest(s)!

Welcome. I can't believe you read all that. Here, you definitely deserve this. How fortuitous that I woke up at this odd hour to find you stumbling through the door, exhausted.

:Love: :hugs: :Love:

Now that you're caught up I expect you to jump into the conversation, ok? :battingeyelashes:

Let me :welcome: you, not only to the joyful pages of my journal, but to the friendly digital streets of our little slice of virtual paradise that is the :420: community. If I can, in any way, help you become more comfortably acclimated within our community you know how to find me.

That was an impressive feat, my soon-to-be-friend. There's so much pain in those pages I can't go there yet to reread. Someday it'll bring me more joy than pain to revisit. It's nice to know that. Make yourself at home.
 
Fell asleep early. Actually passed out on the bed at some point around 10. Woke right up, eyes wide open and brain at full tilt at 2:30. See? Pure futility. I just need to accept that this is what my body wants to do. When I'm tired enough I'll sleep. This trying to conform to a social standard that means next to nothing in my current circumstances is only causing me frustration. Just roll with it Susan.

In the spirit of that decision I will now do that session of Callanetics I didn't get done because I passed out on the bed instead. Look at that. Relaxed, refreshed. All I need now is a bit of a buzz and I'm good to go. Oh look! My pipe and stash! How convienient. :laughtwo:

The goal is to get completely baked and started by 3:30. Let's see how I do with that. :battingeyelashes:
 
Got lost in the threads and music. Callanetics isn't going to happen, though I should give myself credit for the hour of upper arm work and maybe toss in a few push ups or some planks???? Maybe take a couple more hits of this amazing AJH x AA and stay with the music. :laughtwo: Almost ready to try sleep again and I got the next week planned out while I played. A smoothly operating perpetual does so, in part, due to the advance planning. It doesn't have to be obsessive, but it does need to be. This method has worked well for me so far.

I gotta satisfy the productive part of my brain or she drives me nuts. :battingeyelashes: She sometimes makes me earn the buzz. Does that happen to anyone else? Just a random stoner question. Haha!
 
SweetSue Stoner Thoughts

Because I should be in bed, but instead I'm sitting here, cross-legged on the floor at 5:20 in the morning. :laughtwo:

There's a function I refer to as the "Likes" Slipstream. Your Control Panel button, top left on the page (CP) gives you the option to choose Notifications, which further gives you the choice to see the likes that were hit in response to your posts. It does this in chronological order, so it allows you to track numerous conversations over the entire site. The option they're trying desperately to restore for us is that valuable slipstream link that can take me directly to that conversation, so I can see if there were any additional posts carrying the conversation to the next step.

It's been frustrating trying to keep up without that function I didn't realize the true value of until just before it vanished. I know, how ironic, eh? :laughtwo: My habit is to go there first anyway and then search the conversation down in other ways. I realized yesterday that there's an additional reason that I check in there. It lists the thread the post was left on. One of my goals has always been to make that list I see when I go to my CP be varied, covering a wide range of journals. Last week, when I changed my posting approach it took so much of my time that almost 99% of those registered likes were from this journal. As tickled as I am about that, it bothered me that I'd become myopic.

This morning I noticed that I've restored balance to that list once again. That makes me smile. :battingeyelashes:

Its 5:23. I should try sleep again. :Love:
 
Time to up the ante. I added the CFL bank in front of Jamaican Dream.

Greetings From The Tiny Closet

I took some decent pictures yesterday, pulled everyone out and whatnot. Then I neglected to share those sweet photos with you. I took some fresh shots this morning and threw them all together. I just finished smoking a tiny popcorn bud of the Auto Jock Horror x Auto Amnesia and I can't believe I uploaded the pictures and I'm typing this right now, because I am seriously stoned like you wouldn't believe. :laughtwo: I'm saving the last hit for after I hit "submit Reply". I'm assuming I'll make it there. Here goes.

This was the shot I wanted you to remember. :battingeyelashes: :Love:

I'll see you all later. Can't see the screen anymore. LOL!

WooHoo!! I made it!!!!! Lost in space, but I made it. :laughtwo:
 
That Thunderpaws gets my vote. I just love them in veg :thumb:

They're pretty astounding, aren't they? They're a private creation and it's kind of exciting getting the chance to see what no one else has. This strain may have been grown elsewhere, but I believe this is the first time with the Kit. How lucky am I? It's intriguing too, how different they are from each other. What a marvelous species we grow.
 
Because I was in there anyway, so why not? :laughtwo:

Carnival says "Good Morning!"
