The Perpetual Healing Garden - SweetSue's Joyful Return

My daughter bought me some hemp wick for my birthday a few years ago when I began this Alternative Medicine journey (I now think Big Pharma should be called Alternative Medicine and MM should be mainstream). I asked her about the potency of the hemp wick (I thought I was supported to smoke it) and she just about cried with laughter. I love when being a dumb ass tickles others, it is so humbling and extra hilarious.

Oh boy this is good!! I had a good laugh at this! Thanks for sharing that!

:rofl: :passitleft:
 
:laughtwo: Snuff it between the fingers. Just figured it out. Lol! Such a blonde sometimes. :laughtwo:

It's gonna take a very special man with a finely developed sense of humor. I'm sure the guys in the office of Universal Quality Control, Joy Division know that. :laughtwo:

:rofl: I was thinking... Just snuff with your fingers Sue. It's like you heard my thought :hugs:

Are you going to end up on our West Coast Sue? Perhaps that's your destination even if you haven't decided yet! I love your prayer beads and that life story. You seem to be very similar to my oldest sister in very many ways (as least what I can know of Susan from a web forum!). Thanks for keeping your head in this game, thanks for unselfishly helping people like me, and a big thanks for spending so much of your time trying to make 420Magazine the best source of information for MM on the IntraWebs.

It's time for a Hash making session tonight, a process I've honed and refined to my liking. I was thinking of making CO with the Hash, I haven't tried that yet. Yield will be low, but that's OK at this point in time, I've built up enough reserves for a little while. Would the resultant product be called CHO ... Cannabis Hash Oil if I use only Hash? Maybe I'm just being stupid, or but perhaps it might work really well, but I'll never know unless I give my best effort.

You certainly deserve a good man with an awesome sense of humor, don't settle for less!
Maybe this forum will assist you in finding that special person, or perhaps your new location might be your introductory path. In any event, I truly hope your final destination still includes your presence here on 420Magazine!

I second your West Coast idea, JB :)
 
I miss your photojournal Pigeons!

Thanks Holmes!

I've certainly thought about doing another one!! It's just the video thing is so much more time efficient. And I like the ability to ramble and smoke at the same time :rofl:

:Love: you're a good man!
 
Susan,...top of the day to ya ! i just can't keep up here...sorry but i've given up...i visit every few days only to see i'm now 5-10 pages behind....anyhow, have ya seen my new light yet? Cheers eh!:thumb:

I'm with this guy. It's like trying to out sprint a locomotive ;)
 
May I ask, how do you put out the wick? I'm thinking a tamping surface would be beneficial. It goes out with a shake but then it smolders. Smoking alone I want it out completely and quickly. I'm just curious.

Survey says!

There is no number one answer.

person A) Lick fingers and pinch
person B) Blow it out
person C) Crush the end against an ash jar or ash tray.

This was such a delightful read and left me feeling very humble. Thank you JB. I'm hoping for Colorado. Beyond that hope is a willingness to go wherever the universe directs me. I made a pact with them that I won't fight it when the message comes that it's time. Until then I grow joyfully right where I'm planted.

I believe it's called hash oil. I like the sound of Cannabis Hash Oil myself. Good luck with it. Please document and post on the study hall. I'm doing a cold VG tincture with the Dark Devil Auto. Post to follow.

Bubba Kush and Carnival look like they are going to be the big winners, even as small plants you can see how awesome they are.

I'm really impressed with both of them. I'm probably going to need to move them into a larger pot earlier than I planned. It's gonna get tight in the veg tent.

Oh boy this is good!! I had a good laugh at this! Thanks for sharing that!

:rofl: :passitleft:

So did I. Isn't parenting the most fun? :laughtwo:

Sure, why not? :passitleft:

:rofl: I was thinking... Just snuff with your fingers Sue. It's like you heard my thought :hugs:

:laughtwo: it wouldn't surprise me Noob. :hugs::hugs::hugs:

I second your West Coast idea, JB :)

You make it tempting. One never knows. If I hit the west coast it'd be extreme north.

Susan,...top of the day to ya ! i just can't keep up here...sorry but i've given up...i visit every few days only to see i'm now 5-10 pages behind....anyhow, have ya seen my new light yet? Cheers eh!:thumb:

Don't fret it Duggan. I understand. I just enjoy having you stop. :circle-of-love:

I like option D) Shake to put flame out and snuff with fingers. I'm a convert. I'll be ordering more within a week. :laughtwo:
 
Tinctures: Dark Devil Auto

I've been reading up on tinctures, considering that this may work well for me and be an alternative to brownies. A cold tincture takes anywhere from 60 - 120 days, and made wit vegetable glycerin lends the tastiest tincture. Dark Devil Auto has to be the tastiest strain around. The buds alone are delicious. I think she's a great one for a tincture.

I loosely filled a jar with lightly chopped buds. It came to 10 grams. Into the oven for about 15 min at 200 degrees F to dry out and then out of the oven while it resets to 245 degrees F. Then back in for another 30 minutes to decarb.

Add glycerin slowly as you stir with a wooden spoon to get every bit of the plant material coated.

image12410.jpeg


Add a bit more glycerin. Give it a gentle shake and find a storage area.

image12411.jpeg


To be agitated a couple times a day until done.

image12412.jpeg


Stored over here in my work corner I'll be more likely to remember to agitate it.

image12413.jpeg


Covered to block the light and easy to get to.

image12414.jpeg


I'm giving it at least two months before I check it with the intention of letting it go a full four months in the end. I'm looking forward to testing it out. This will take more patience than I typically demonstrate. :laughtwo:

 
Just finished dinner by the river. When I get home I'll load the photos in for the update. It was a glorious Callanetics day. I'm feeling downright svelte. :battingeyelashes: :Love:
 
Daily Update: Friday, May 20, 2016

Whew! Coming in under the wire here today. Sorry guys, I got seriously distracted by life today. :laughtwo: According to my records, nothing got done in the garden today other than admire the growth and some minor training. Let's start out in the veg tent.

image12419.jpeg


image12420.jpeg


I got my soft wire today so I replaced the string restraints on Strawberry Blue (Day 38) with the gentler embrace of soft wire.

image12421.jpeg


Geez, she's gonna be huge, isn't she? What a beauty already.

image12422.jpeg


Crossroads ( Day 24) got some serious tucking done. I can't believe how bushy this plant is! Shiva Shanti ll (Day 17) is struggling to stay in there. Crossroads 2 (Day 18), at the bottom of the picture, has more available space. Interesting to watch.

image12423.jpeg


Super Cheese (Day 24) got her second ponytail treatment. Time to remove it actually. Be right back ......... OK, all done for the day.

image12424.jpeg


image12440.jpeg


Bubba Kush (Day 37), lookin' all big 'n bad.

image12425.jpeg


Cajun warned me this one wasn't a big yielder. I'm seeing what he may have alluded to. Not a lot going on under here.

image12426.jpeg


Into the flowering tent.

image12430.jpeg

The CBD cousins. They're at Day 100. Critical Mass (on the left) is flip + 17, Critical Cure is flip + 35 and 3 days from her second CAT. Both plants smell now. It's absolutely divine when I stick my head in there.

image12431.jpeg


Zamaldelica (Day 4) didn't want to be photographed today. :straightface:

image12432.jpeg


image12441.jpeg


Carnival (Day 33)

image12435.jpeg


image12428.jpeg


image12429.jpeg


DDA2 (Day 38) got her restraints adjusted.

image12433.jpeg


Im trying to give these lower branches a chance to get up here and play with the rest of the crew.

image12434.jpeg


That's it for me today. I'm gonna get a good buzz on now and listen to some music before bed. Maybe I'll wander some. I haven't been to Canna and nismo's all day. Let me correct that after my buzz is established.

You all have a wonderful end to your day. Don't forget to spread that joy far and wide. :battingeyelashes: :green_heart:

:Namaste:

 
You're much kinder in your training Sue :thumb: I can't help but enjoy that popping feeling between my fingers.... maybe its a subconscious connection to popping bubble wrap perhaps. Perhaps I'm over thinking it and I'm just a mean old man :smokin2:
 
Morning love!

Back to your wick question and how to put it out:

I'm a two hoot (bowls) kinda guy. Meaning I need two hoots to make my day. I've recently learned that I can leave the wick lit and up right and it burns slowly like a candle. So I leave it lit and tend to my second bowl duties while its lit. Then go at it again.

When I first purchased the stuff I found it a bit cumbersome to light with a lighter then light the bowl then put it out. There's nothing worse than filling your lungs up with a large hoot and then panic as you hang onto the glass bong with one hand and the burning ball of wax in the other. It can be a bit crazy at times but I just light my bowl and leave it lit until I come back down from my special place and can extinguish it properly.

:Love::hugs::Love:
 
Bing read me some Sue, worth every minute! The girls are all looking fantastic, but I'm partial to that Strawberry Blue. Training is a blast, right?

:high-five:

I'm apparently warming up to it. I'll be happier when it's a bit more second nature, but so far, I'm pretty relaxed and instinctive about it. You and Jay are excellent examples to follow.

:laughtwo: I was a push-over mom. The children could always argue a strong case and get away with murder with me. Learning to train takes more emotional effort than you'd think. Lol! My whole being wants to let them run wild, but the practical side of me remembers the cost of maintaining that real estate, so I press on. I can't bring myself to do supercropping. Lord knows, I've tried.

Good morning Sue :hugs: :Love: :hugs:

Good morning Mr Am4zin. :hugs: :Love: :hugs: I hope you and the Am4zin wife have a relaxing weekend planned. :Love:

Morning love!

:Love::hugs::Love:

:rofl: I know just what you mean! :rofl: I was looking at the lighter/wick holders with interest. Anyone have experience with those? I'll try leaving it lit. That actually sounds like a smart idea. :laughtwo: I've actually settled on snuffing the flame with my fingers, but it's a hassle relighting every time.

I broke my little bubbler yesterday so I ordered a small glass bong. It should be here beginning of next week. I couldn't help thinking of you as I was ordering. Can't wait to break it in with one of your videos. :laughtwo:

Morning right back at you love. :Love: :hugs::hugs: :Love:
 
Drenches all around today, so the update will be later this afternoon. I may have finally gotten them all on the same schedule. :oops: Did I really say that out loud? :shhh:

Now they will misbehave and go wonky time lol. It's like when the windshield wipers match the beat of a song for just a few seconds then they are all weird again. Have a great Saturday Sue. Made dry ice kief, then soaked it in ethanol, then dried it in a water bath. Currently mind blown. Shatter. A little contaminated with chlorophyll but I didn't take time to freeze the ethanol or buds like I normally do.
