The Perpetual Healing Garden - SweetSue's Joyful Return

The same is I do with oil. 3g of trim or 1g bud per cup of VG along with 1T sunflower lecithin. :circle-of-love::peace:

One gram of bud per cup of glycerin sounds too lightweight for me. The cannabinoid load would be far too shallow to be useful, I'd think. The alcohol tincture I make is a ratio of two oz of alcohol to one gram of bud. I'd think that would be what I want to shoot for. I'm looking for about 50 mg of cannabinoids per oz of tincture. Let me do the math and see what I can come up with.

This is one reason I take week or two out samples :laughtwo: Amber is all fine and dandy, but experiencing the range as it matures is so much more fun. :surf:

For my own stock I try for almost no amber. I'm not interested in slowing down.

You guys will get a laugh out of this. I'm taking the on line course on treating insomnia with cannabis. My thought going in was that this was a course that should have applications to my own situation, being so sleep challenged since Dale died. Then I listened to the course straight through for the first time last night and discovered that I personally don't have insomnia.

It not that I can't sleep, but rather that I don't want to. When I'm tired enough I have no problem falling asleep as soon as my head hits the pillow and I sleep until I wake up, reasonably refreshed. I have no lack of energy, despite the lack of normal sleep hours and I suffer no problems as a result of my sleep-challenged lifestyle. Occasionally I'll run up a deficit that makes me grab a quick nap in the afternoon or evening, but that happens to most of us at some point, doesn't it?

What I am is insatiably curious with little need to keep regular sleep hours. I'd rather stay up all night studying and fall asleep as the sun peeks above the horizon line. I have the enviable freedom to do what I want, when I want and it appears my desire is to indulge in late night study sessions and writing. I may keep crazy hours but according to this class material I do not have insomnia. When I fall over the next man who belongs in my life I'll start going to bed earlier. Until then I'm going to embrace the freedom and indulge away.

Sorry. Typo. 1g/oz so 8g/c. and 3g/ oz of trim. My bad. Sorry. :) :peace:

We were cross posting. :laughtwo:

OK, that sounds better. That ratio would accommodate the reduced cannabinoid uptake you're supposed to expect with glycerin, although I'd think the action of the MBM2 would fascilitate more efficient infusion, wouldn't you?

Incidentally, I love this machine. It allowed me to quickly process a massive amount of plant material into edible ingredients. It pretty much saved me. Instead of drying plant material everywhere I have jars of oil and containers of butter. Sweet!

I don't have enough of the Med GOM 1.0 left to make a batch in the MBM2, but if I wait until the Critical colas are dry and somewhat cured I'll be able to use them. I discovered that both strains can potentially come in closer to the 2:1 ratio the Med GOM reaches. I should assume they came close to that, growing in kit soil.

This is so exasperating. I have all these supplies I'd accumulated to begin exploring processing cannabis, and I'm once again facing a lack of plant material to do what I wanted. Geez..... What am I supposed to be learning here? Am I missing some bigger message on my purpose?

:laughtwo: Sorry guys, Sagittarian woman here. We analyze the hell out of everything looking for the cosmic directives. Lol! Sometimes a glitch is just a glitch.

Today's lesson in the necessity of stealthiness. The apartment below mine is occupied by my brother-in-law, Dale's youngest brother, a victim of bi-polar disorder, off his meds for longer than a year now. Last night he took offense at my singing after 9PM and turned me in to whomever he chose to do that to. Since his note alluded to jail time I have to believe he reported me to the police.

I'm on my way to lunch with a friend. When I come home everything comes down. Everything.

Awwww..... Scottay. :hugs::hugs::hugs: No reason to worry. Everything happens for a reason, and it'll turn out to be the best thing that could have happened. Knowing that's the way things always go makes it easier to deal with the sudden loss. I've already dropped my first seed. I'll find a way to slowly but surely increase the plant count while staying stealthy.

Back before I bought the tents I was thinking of getting a couple closet units and throwing them along a wall in the living room. If I went ahead and purchased them I'd have room to grow a few plants and it'd look like nothing more than two storage closets.

I need to start thinking outside the box. I decided I'm staying in this apartment. If one of us is moving its going to be him, but I'll be stealthy, really stealthy, from now on, aside from my wide open closet, that is. :laughtwo: My tents and equipment for them can stay in storage until that unknown moment when I do relocate, or when I get legal permission to grow for patients. Time to look at closets again.
 
It truly does suck that the prohibition of this plant affects peoples lives. I was gifted some unknown seeds (10) & every single one sprouted little white baby legs! Ive tried the strain & it was a pretty decent hybrid ...kinda heavy on the indica side. I have a friend that has about 100acres so I think Im gonna put them in the ground in a week after they pop their heads out of the soil now. Kinda sucks not to be able to train them & all that but I kinda hafta put em out & let em soak up some sun. Im pttin them on a small hill that gets sun mornin to night! Im glad you are able to start growun again. You truly are remarkable! Inspirational toooo! Huggsss..... ok....time to stop rambling & take my butt to bed! Hahaha :volcano-smiley:
 
Sorry to hear of your issues. I too believe it happens for some unknown reason. Good luck going forward.

Cheers

Hey there! Makes me happy to see you keeping your head held high!! Also just as excited to see that fresh little bean stoping by to say hi to all of us! You'll have another awesome closet grow like you did will all your beautiful plants before.

I am headed to pick up a bottle of Everclear today and turn my ABV into a tincture. I have close to an ounce of ABV I have saved from my vape going to throw it all together in a mason jar and let it sit for a few days. I have no real reason I need it just thought why not? I'll let you know how it turns out.
Have a great weekend! :passitleft:

Great idea. Toss it into the freezer and shake a couple times a day. Five days minimum. Let us know how it goes. I have a cold one with glycerin and Dark Devil Auto that'll take me another couple months with another batch of plant material added to increase the cannabinoid load. I find it fascinating, the many different ways you can process cannabis.

I'm excited about growing this little seed out and about finding a more stealthy way to run a decent grow. As soon as possible I need to start something that'll keep me in supply. I'll be looking for something quick and frosty, an auto for sure. Maybe that Lemon Skunk arteekay and Jay grew out recently. That had to be the frostiest thing I've seen lately. I can start that seed a month out from the Med GOM harvest and be right back into a perpetual without using more than the closet. If you remember, my first grow was two autos in this closet surrounded by CFLs. I could replicate that if need be.

I've some sweet plans running around in my head today. :battingeyelashes: :green_heart:

A caring member tracked me down in the middle of the night to remind me that dentures are like therapy after an accident and that giving up wasn't an option. I had visions of Heirloom refusing his therapy and hung my head in shame for a moment.

I'll be putting 110% effort into learning to wear the dentures so that they become a natural extension of Susan. Yes, I can do this. Please forgive the moment of weakness. I'm really made of stronger stuff. I'm also hardheaded and impatient at times when I really just need to chill and let life flow. I can't refuse to try simply because it's uncomfortable.

Once again, mighty impressed with the canna butter. One Tablespoon in the oatmeal and it carries me all day long until dinner time. I'm just now coming down, and it's not a crash, but a gentle floating down. Time for another dose. Scrambled eggs with cannabutter sounds like the ticket. I need to try to eat something with these dentures in. That seems like the easiest choice. Wish me luck guys.

Good luck Sue! :hugs:

Thank you Canna. These dentures are something of a personal conflict for me to begin with, and now I discover that I need to relearn how to chew, without the benefit of sensory awareness inside of my mouth, and swallowing is more of a challenge than it was when I had my tonsils removed at 20. I thought the most important reason one got dentures was to be able to chew your food. This is not an easy task at all.

I made a strong promise to that caring member that I'd stick it out no matter what. I'm a woman of my word, so there's no backing down from the challenge. I just have to keep plugging away and getting used to them.

My top lip feels like it's sticking out way beyond normal, but I understand that's just muscles that have to relax and retrain. Going without these for almost a year may not have been one of my smarter choices.

It's turned out to be a good thing I don't have anything growing right now. I wouldn't have been able to tend to the garden and deal with the denture adjustment. I'd have avoided the dentures. Neat how that tragedy turned out to be a benefit, isn't it? :laughtwo: How long did that take? Two days? Hahaha! You can't keep me down for very long.

Now, to get the rest of my canna scrambled egg down the gullet. :laughtwo:
 
Sitting here in front of the mirrors and watching myself I'd have to agree with the dentist. He was shocked at how the dentures dropped at least twenty years from my appearance. It still looks weird, but it's obvious I look significantly younger. Now, if I was the type of woman who cared about that........ :laughtwo:

Ok, ok, I'll admit to a bit of a vain streak going on here. Lol!
