The Perpetual Healing Garden - SweetSue's Joyful Return

Supercropping Sweet Sue?!?!?! I hope I didn't rub off on you ;) Everything looks great :) Just playing catch up over here!

You and Duggan, the relentless one. :laughtwo: It'll take me a while to get the hang of it. It would've been a more useful training tool if I'd used it earlier.

CBD strains are ballin in flower. They are going to make some nice buds for your daughter. The new trained and trimmed look just like they will make some amazing buds. Plenty of space where needed and raring to go! Lovely Sue (pats on back). It just seems like you have so much more running smoothly than ever before.

It does appear I've reached a certain level of competency, doesn't it? The soil's doing all the work in both mediums. I'm the lucky cultivator who gets the pats on the back. Thanks. Felt good. :hugs: :Love:

Size matters.

:battingeyelashes: :Love:
 
Thanks SlowToke. Your garden puts mine to shame mi amigo. :laughtwo:

Sue, the only thing I have going for me is shear volume! I can hide a lot of defects in my sea of green. Your plants looks just as good or even better, plant for plant. :high-five:

don't have a lot of trichomes on the leaves jutting out from the colas, but when you look at the branch along its length the entire thing sparkles with frostiness. When she comes out for her next drench this week I'll get some good pictures.

Yes! Bud porn! We want bud porn! :circle-of-love::cheertwo::circle-of-love:

Starting my 48 hour cannabis fast right after I do my wake 'n bake with this tiny bud of Tikal. My directive is to embrace the experience. Dr. Sulak instructs you to enjoy this experience. Hold the plant material, appreciate it. Smell it, feel the texture.

Catch the buzz and put it all away until Thursday morning. *gulp*

Thank you. That was such a gracious sentiment. I'm still learning to be comfortable with my cannabis competency.

Yes! Bud porn! We want bud porn! :circle-of-love::cheertwo::circle-of-love:

I hear and obey. :laughtwo: Welcome to today's celebration of the wonder you can expect from Doc Bud's High BrixBlend Kit.

CBD Critical Cure. Day 111. Day 46 from flip. Two full weeks from her CAT drenches, alternating now between Growth Energy and TransWater to the end. If I remember correctly, she finishes on an Energy drench. Her pistils are changing now, so I figure mid To late June. I'm not planning on rushing her. I'd like to see some nice swelling going on before I harvest. She's already so heavy that I had to stake her. :slide: My first plant so heavy with trichomes that she had to be staked. :yahoo:

SlowToke, you're in for the most amazing first harvest I've followed in my time here. I couldn't be more excited for you or more hopeful for your prospects of living to be a very old, very active companion to that lovely wife of yours. :circle-of-love:
 
Oh, yeah... Now that's what I'm talking about! Nice!

And thank you for the kind closing remarks. I have to tell you, I'm so excited about this harvest I almost forget it's a means to and end; not the end itself. Kind of a shame really... There aren't any taste buds where this harvest is going! .

:laughtwo: Make yourself a smoothie......... or do they test you? That's soon not going to be something you consider anymore, so think about the smoothie. Amazing. Just sayin'. :battingeyelashes:
 

Time stamp me at noon, Tuesday the 31st of May, 2016. I'll be concluding the cannabis fast at noon on Thursday.

image12988.jpeg


This was not an easy thing to do. Memories of the holidays are still fresh and I kept having to remind myself that this is only a six day process. :laughtwo: It was imperative that I post here to keep myself accountable.

Tikal was a nice exit strategy. She lends a spiritual edge to the experience. So me. Lol! I'll need to purchase this strain soon. I'm down to scraps that I'm saving. That's always an indicator that it should be a future performer in the garden.

Day 1 underway.
 
Wow! SweetSue, I would be telling a lie if I told you I read all 136 pages here, but that doesn't mean I didn't peruse a fair chunk! You have such a calm way of writing. I find it therapeutic to read your updates. I only discovered cannabis when my mother started telling me about how it can be used for pain management and just about every other possible affliction people face nowadays. That was in February. I started using it because I got her some (I'd never bought "bad" drugs in my life! We'll use that term VERY loosely) and she never ended up using it. I've not gone a day since and I am now on ZERO synthetic medication. I used to take an entire shot glass full before bed to treat a myriad of things, but predominantly bipolar disorder. I'm the best I've ever been. I've just started my own grow journal on here. I will be making the time to read more of your work over the next few days :)

Welcome to my joyful journal Rastas. :welcome: The :420: community welcomes you too. I'm so honored that you made the effort to peruse the back pages. The number of pages can be intimidating.

"Bad drugs" *giggle* That got a good chuckle.

I'm intrigued by your share concerning bipolar disorder, and I'd be interested in hearing particulars of how you use cannabis to control it. My brother-in-law is challenged in this manner and he's just about given up hope for anything better than sporadic symptomatic relief. We don't have the best relationship, in large part to his disorder, but I'd still like to offer him some insight. He lives below me, and when he's out of balance I'm the one who has to suffer with his disturbing choices of music therapy.

I'll look for your journal. If you put a link to it in your signature line others can find you more easily. :Love:
 
Good afternoon Sue :hugs::hugs::hugs: Lovely garden as usual. Thanks for the porn. :rofl:

Have you decided whether or not you will be putting up the bigger tents? I know your daughter will be moving soon and you said you might consider putting them up when she does. I wonder if she would be so worried now that it is legal medically in your state now and that she has witnessed the benefits first hand. Not trying to be nosy, just want you to have all the plants you can. :)
 
I've been learning so much. It's quite overwhelming seeing so many different techniques used, but all methods seem to have their time and place. I just need to learn when to implement the appropriate ones. Trial and error!

It's funny you mention his behaviour. When my mind used to get so out of control and I couldn't cancel the noise, I used to play heavy metal. The sort where you can't make the words out. The sheer craziness and intensity of the sounds overrides what's going on in your head. So it stops the pressure so to speak. But depending on what's going on in your life and experiences you're having, you never really know what to expect. There are so many variables. The medication only exacerbates the problem. It is pure poison. I'm so glad to be off it.

I have some odd twitches, but I'm not sure whether that's me or caused by prolonged use of medication. My eyes don't develop tears properly so I am forever using eye drops and I'm sure there are heaps of other things that go on that just seem normal to me because they're a daily occurrence.

I too would love to head down the path you're taking and focus on extraction methods and growing high CBD strains. I've seen a few seed banks selling CBD strains as high as 8%. But having never used them before, I don't know if they're right for me.

Cannabis is wonderful. When I'm so amplified I can't sleep (I'm talking days here) this plant has allowed me to sleep. Until last week I hadn't slept without medication for near 7 years! Technically I am still using medicine, but stuff that won't slowly kill me! I'm still working out which strains work best for me. It's very hard here because you don't know what you're getting. That's all changing now that I'm doing it myself. I have been able to get white widow, blue cheese and a couple of other indica varieties and I did get some juicy fruit. The sativas are a whole different ball game. The juicy fruit had me bouncing off the walls!

When I see what works for me I will ensure that I pass it on to you so it can help you with your daughter. Anxiety isn't fun. I was getting it for years before I was diagnosed. Even to the point where I had to pull my car over at times and throw up. But I was young and I didn't know anything about mental illness. I thought the seriously painful stomach cramps and nausea was just my body's way of telling me I was hungry!

They're still looking for that apartment that will accommodate them and a friend they plan to share with. Once they move I may well set the 4x4 up again as a flower tent. I'm not sure yet. My life is still in something of a limbo stage, and I'd have to be able to run two tents on the fan/filter combo I have. That should accommodate the two tents, but I haven't run the figures yet.

That's sweet of you to care Noob. :hugs::hugs::hugs:

All that pain and frustration that could have been spared you Rastas. :hugs: I'm thankful you found a way through. I'll look forward to periodic reports on your progress.

My daughter's response to a CBD dominant strain has been nothing less than miraculous. To see her able to function without the dibilitating anxiety that's defined her entire life moves me to tears with regularity.

Goodafternoon Sue! I hope that buzz hasn't faded too much :byebye::hugs::hugs::hugs::byebye:

Too far Growlow. :straightface: I'm not enjoying this. I must consider breaking this fast at least twice in every passing minute. I'm wandering aimlessly through the apartment like a lost waif. It's pathetic. I need to lose myself in some study project, but I can't seem to focus.
 
I've been looking at the overcrowded community pot and thinking about it for a couple days now. This evening I went with my instincts and eliminated the Crossroads 2. The Shiva Shanti is my hope for a small quantity of indica meds and that first crossroads obviously owns this pot.

One less plant to nurture.

Zamaldelica (Day 15)

Yes, I see the signs of thrips. I didn't notice until just now, looking at the photo. I'd convinced myself the other day that it was bleaching, so I moved her away from the light. Surprise!! :laughtwo: I reached into the tent to haul her out, despite lights out. She's been sprayed with spinosad.

Aaaand that's all she wrote today. :laughtwo: I'm having a rough time guys, I'll admit. Can't focus and I'm feeling lost. Tell me I can do this. I have no one here to egg me on. I may have to pull back for a couple days and go spiritually deep to get through. It's a bit humbling to discover, once again, how much the plant does to level out my personality and keep my brain working at such a top speed. Without, I'm putting all my energy into not coming undone. I think if I can get through the evening I'll be ok. Problem is, without, it's all to obvious how alone I am here.

I'm sure I'll make it, somehow. I'd hoped to get Callanetics in, but I'm not sure about that now. I may turn in early, or simply wander through the threads tonight. It just feels wrong.

See? I almost forgot to remind you all to spread the joy. Can't have that. :laughtwo:

You. Joy. Spread it around. :Namaste:
