Well atleast you can admit it lol just kidding as long as your happy with yourself at the end of the day that is all that matters
The Perpetual Healing Garden - SweetSue's Joyful Return
Sue, I'm sure you are as beautiful outside as you are inside.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........
Ok, ok, I'll admit to a bit of a vain streak going on here. Lol!
My dad has two teeth left and he will be fit for dentures at the end of the summer when the students come back to college. He's getting by with softer foods and using his tongue to crush the food. Doesn't look like he's lost any weight over it. Lol.

You guys have no idea the personal conflict dentures create for me. I've always been comfortable with myself and my body. If I wasn't I made changes to get back to a comfort zone. These dentures violate a lifetime of acceptance of who I am. I'm sitting here on the mat just crying in frustration that I'd be this unaccepting of who I am that I'd voluntarily go through the torture of adapting to these absolutely foreign things in my mouth that destroy my enjoyment of eating. How can you enjoy eating food with dentures? If there's a secret to this I wish someone'd share it with me.
That had to be the most difficult meal I ever tried to consume. There was no enjoyment of it at all. Not giving up, just screaming in frustration.
Just to keep us somewhat on topic here, the Med GOM 1.0 seed is in the box for the next 24-36 hours.
I'll be rehanging the light before planting so I can keep it at the 2' height throughout this grow. If I'm going to start up again I insist I learn to control the light better, and I also want to grow this one from seed to harvest under the light, so no CFLs. I need to learn what the light is capable of on its own.
I can't wait to have a new seedling, even one that won't get me high.

Being down to just a few teeth was much worse than being toothless. It not only made it difficult to eat but it played havoc with self image. I got through this period eating normal food, cut into smaller pieces and using the tongue to mash it up. It's surprisingly easy to adapt a richly nutritious diet for toothless eating.
Please bear with me guys. I'm probably going to be extra-special reactionary over the next week or so as I learn to live peacefully with the dentures. Thank God for the wonders of cannabutter. Just beginning to kick my butt.

I'll be sure to keep watch for it Duggan. Sounds like a party. I hope Shiggity will be well enough to watch too. Not that he needs the tutorial, just that he'd enjoy the fun.

Ahhhh..... That's better. Have a good time? I saw those feet in the sand and the dabs off to the side, so I'm gonna guess that's a yes???
Missed you Noob. Welcome back.

I've done that as well which is really nice. I enjoy just sprinkling it on some toast with peanut butter. Since I was starting to have quite the abundance laying around thought I would try something new. Not sure how well it will turn out but no harm if its a flop.
So I typed the above last night and was so high I forgot to post it! Looks like we are starting the weekend off right. Hope everyone is doing well today.

We have a winner!!! Lol! I take that experiment went well? Good morning Sue!!! Just checking in to see how you are this AM.
I'm well supergroomer.
I put 6 1/2 hours straight with the dentures, overcame the angst of personal crisis and actually thought it looked strange when I took them out. Sometime today or tomorrow I'll be planting that seed. I'm seriously considering filling another pot and going back to my original 2 pot set-up in the tiny closet.
A question for the friendly gathering: I'm considering starting this as a new grow with a new journal. What think you all?

Well then, we all agree. That was my inclination too. The perpetuals get so long they sometimes overwhelm newcomers. It's up to us to train them to jump to real time. It's also my responsibility to keep track of relevant information in the journal, and I've been really bad about that from the beginning. Maybe I'm holding myself to an unreasonable standard. Hmmmm.... Hadn't thought of it that way.
I'll keep it just the way it is. Still thinking about doubling up the pot count to two and dropping an auto from Sweet Seeds. I have that new Blow Mind strain that sounds tempting. The genetics include the "Cordobesa" Amnesia Haze and and Sweet Seeds Sweet Afghani Delicious.
"This variety features a pleasant, deep and complex aroma of incense, with sweet and musky tones, complemented with lemony citric hints, shades of wood and dried fruit."
Yum. Slated to finish in 8-9 weeks, so a quick turnaround. I'm thinking I want to go back to autos in the closet until things settle better or I get some cabinets. A decent sized cabinet is where I'm really headed. I'd hesitated to purchase any because I was planning to relocate. I'm now of the opinion that if I purchase the cabinet and get everything running smoothly I stand more of a chance of falling over my next soulmate and having to tear it all down again to run away with him.
The imperative is that I continue to grow.
Good afternoon Mr Am4zin.

the plan
- Fill this tote with as much perlite as is on hand. This won't fill it, but it will give me a workable depth.
- Add another 10-gallon pot of LOS soil.
- Plant another DDA. This is the one I'm going to be looking for, so there's no sense in trying anything else and being disappointed because it's not DDA.
My thinking is that two plants in a closet can vanish in a matter of minutes. No stress at all about visitors. I haven't tackled filtration yet, and that's going to come into play at some point, but then the DDAs aren't that bad. In fact, using the onions in the pots tamps the smell down dramatically, but has no apparent effect on potency.
I'll get the light rehung tomorrow to take advantage of the adjustable hangers. I'm still considering starting them under CFLs until they're tall enough to be within two feet of the light as it hangs right now, but I think CFLs through earliest veg will suffice to keep the seedlings tightly noded, so I'll be needing either the light lowered or the plants raised. Lowering the light is the better option.
Back to my roots, a low-stress wide-open closet grow in no-tills and sitting on a SWICK reservoir, but under a better light. I'm feeling pretty happy right about now. Simplicity was the end result of chaos. You gotta love it when it all works out so nicely and so efficiently.

Yes that did make me smile Scottay.
I'll come to peace with the dentures. I'll give them so many hours a day until I'm comfortable popping them in on a whim, but just as comfortable without them. Gotta have life both ways. LOL! Do you find the butter kicks in every time you have a little something more to eat? I've noticed that to be more pronounced than with the brownies, but then the brownies are designed to hit fast and hard and stay constant. I was just curious if anyone else had noticed this tendency.

I did notice that a little bit but only like the first time I eat something if not real long after the buzz starts. I think maybe it just jumbles things up in ur belly & we absorb another dose quicker than if it were just layin there. I really like the earthy flavor it adds too! I make my budder with my used vape material!
