Activity level factors in to such a large degree. I was fit until I got into IT, since then I picked up "sysadmin spread". When I'd hard at work, I'm putting at most 10 fingers and some thought as actual effort.

I hear that low-level concern that you're not getting enough movement in your life. Did you hear it? There's got to be some small change you can make to begin a turnaround back to being fit. It's easier to do now than when you hit your 60's you know. :battingeyelashes: :Love:

Actually, growing has helped out. As you know, our process and style causes some real work to happen every day. It's not a full workout, but it's far more than I've done in probably a decade.

I'd like to say I'll leash train my new Bengal when she gets here and take her and the dog for walks, but that truly sounds like it smacks of effort.
 
Key 1999 I hope you start a journal with those Ace sativas.

Sue I never found a way to get around the munchies back when I smoked indicas. I don't miss that effect now that I only smoke sativas. I'm a scrawny guy, but never appreciated the feeling of 3 am munchies and overeating till I felt sick- I never gain weight- funny though how it's hard on the self esteem. Only option I could find was to try and load up on healthy food and stay away from junk. Feels much better.

We call that "wirey" in my corner of the world. I grew up in an Italian community that had a lot of scrawny men we called wirey. Sexy as hell. Your self-esteem is misinformed. :battingeyelashes: :Love:

I choose sativas. I've tried using indicas and hybrids now for a few days and I wake up in the morning feeling ....... Dull. That's the word that springs to mind. It takes a few minutes to come out of the fog of sleep and get motivated to get up. If I stick to sativas I don't go to bed as early and I don't sleep quite as long, but I wake up alert and ready to get up. And I don't get munchies. Can't make myself play by the rules. Go figure. :laughtwo:

Having said all that, I've been studying on line now for over six hours, so I'm beat beyond belief. I've finished strolling the yards because I can't see to read anymore, so I'm going to bed. Goodnight everyone. :Love:
 
I stopped to check the tiny closet on my way to bed. Apparently she's oozing sap. It's loaded with terpenes and tastes like oil.

There don't appear to be any damaged trichomes, so it must be oozing from the leaves.

I can't wait to get another Dark Devil Auto growing in this pot. Good soil. :slide:

Hmmmm...... The pot got drenched yesterday (Thursday). I wonder...... I'll have to keep track from now on.



 
Speaking of Sativas... has anyone else noticed that they act like a diuretic if used late in the day?

It sucks having to get up every hour or so during the night to empty the bladder! Is it just me or is this a true side effect of Sativas? I don't feel as though CNS stimulation keeps me awake but a diuretic side effect certainly does.

Indicas on the other hand help me sleep through the whole night.

Have you came across this in your studies Sue? Anyone else notice this?

This is the first I'm hearing of this BeaverIslander. Has it always been like that for you? I'd be very interested in hearing if anyone else has had this happen. There are a number of us I know who try to smoke only sativa-dominant and no one has mentioned this at all, to my recollection.

General Question for the galley:

Has anyone out there reading this noticed a diuretic effect with sativas? Don't be shy now, we're all family and we discuss everything without judgement. If this is some secret concern lurking in the shadows of social restraint, drag it into the light please and share it with us.

Thank you for bringing this up BeaverIslander. Let's see what response we get.

Last night I hit the sheets at around 3 AM. I never reached for the indica, choosing to use wax all the way up until the moment I said goodnight. Hit the pillow and passed right out, slept through the nigh and woke up refreshed. No lethargy at all. According to my study this is backwards from the way everyone else's systems work. What a delightful plant that defies our categorizing attempts and insists on being an individual expression. :laughtwo:

My friend just arrived. Brunch out this morning. :woohoo:

:ciao: :Love:
 
Morning Susan!

Just swinging through my favorite place before I start my day. I never make it in here often enough but we're always just a short click away from each other. :slide:

As usual your girls look stunning and the fences of your garden are filled with love and support. It's always beautiful to see.

I'm very interested about this sap? I've never seen that before. Could it be used for something? Is it a sign of something?

I just wanted to swing in, kiss your forehead and say I love you. Have a great day today!

:Love::hugs::Love:
 
It's a great question and I wish I had more experience with pure Sativas and indicas. I'm just getting to the point in my education of cannabis that I'm beginning to pick apart some of the differences and characteristics. Until now, I've really just gotten high and never really associate a feeling or symptom to any particular strain. (Also, use to be pretty stubborn about any "negative side effect" I exhibited from cannabis. Always told myself it was the coffee, beer, food etc.)

I'm interested to see what kind of conversation can be hashed out here, Beaver. Not to mention, you could even post something in the FAQ or even a new journal thread titled something like "Sativa side effect discussion" or even more specific. Good to see you man!

:high-five:

Aww..... Made my morning Pigeons. Life keeps both of us pretty busy. That's a good thing my friend. :battingeyelashes: :Love: :hugs: :Love:

Sue,
This is my first Sativa so I have nothing to compare it to. Probably just coincidence but thought I'd ask:thumb:

First sativa or not, this is an intriguing side effect I've not heard of before, so let's see if anyone else has.

Same as you, when I showed up here two years ago it was as a recreational smoker taking whatever she could buy on the street. It's been a steep learning curve to where I am right now and I've a lifetime of study ahead. I wasn't even aware when I virst started reading here that the plants could be classified differently. It was always "regular shit" or "overly-priced shit that didn't get me as high as the price suggested." How far I've come from those days. :laughtwo:

Don't have a clue how old BI is but it's more likely to be an aging (growing) prostrate than anything related to sativas or indica.
 
I have my sativa dominant Acapulco Gold finishing up in the next few weeks, and then I will have a whole group of people of all ages to try this. I will pose the question to them. None of them will have had recent experience with such a strain.

We will get to the bottom of this. :tommy: :rofl::rofl::rofl:
 
Pigeons, I didn't answer your question about the DDA. The stunting is genetic. Every so often we find one. This time I was the lucky winner. :laughtwo:

lol... appreciate the confidence. You obviously have not met my Dad... he could tell you stories about some classic screw ups too.

I am putting myself in timeout here in Sue's garden. Please forgive me, I was snippy today. I am working on my Zen... it's here somewhere, I think maybe in here with Dark Devil I will find it. If not, I am heading for the tiny closet.

Let me help you with that Emmie. Set an alarm somewhere to go off every 30 minutes and stop whatever you're doing to say this to yourself right out loud.

"I am grateful that I am a wellspring of peace and tranquility."

Fortifying hugs. :hugs::hugs::hugs::hugs::hugs:

I am assuming that it is against the rules to put any bad words in there? My first modification actually made me smile. :) ( I do come from the mixture of a Navy and Air Force life )
