The Perpetual Healing Garden - SweetSue's Joyful Return

lexort the link you shared is perfect! He's even using the same nute line I purchased. I should be able to learn everything I need about using those bottles to their best advantage by studying him.

You're a lifesaver. :hugs::hugs::hugs: :kisstwo:

Im really glad the link was of use to ya! Where there's a hempy there's a way! Lol. Everything looks rocking in your garden im always amazed when i stop by :tokin:

These curtains, cut down to size, would create a enclosed space on those shelves in the bathroom that could be dark for lights out. See the relentlessness of what I'm up against with this obsessive hobby of ours? :laughtwo:

I just did a tour thru that thread. A hempy grow I'd not seen before... fairly rare.
hmmmm.... I've been playing with 2Ls. I like 'em enough. hmmmmmmm.....
 
Good morning sue, I hope you are well as with your family and friends. Have you tried the dark devil yet? How does she taste? You have almost tempted me to dance with the devil for my next grow ;)

Jimdogggy

Oh Jimdogggy, allow yourself to be tempted. I did try some last night, fresh off the vine and she was sweet indeed. :battingeyelashes: I have a small quantity sitting here waiting for me to finish it off.

I still can't believe how dark she is. Let's see if she hits any different in broad daylight. :laughtwo:

What was the stone like? Will I be glued to the couch watching movies, or is she the sort of girl you take out for a nice walk in the bush? The colour is whats catching me. I've seen purples, I've seen dark red, I've seen bright yellow. Heck I've even seen a few blues (the cold makes them blue) but I've never EVER seen a bud this dark, it almost looks black?? Amazing creatures cannabis plants ✌

First off, remember I'm smoking her wet, which most frown upon, but I actually prefer part of the time. She hits smooth. Real smooth. I was anticipating harsh, since I bought the line about bottled nutrients leaving a harshness to the smoke. That's definately not what I got.

Secondly, I'm on a regimine of both THC and CBD capsules that keep my system running with more cannabinoids than the average smoker would have. To some extent we have to accept that this will flavor my smoke reports. My perceptions are going to be different than someone smoking on a clean system, or at the first buzz of the day. It's coming up on 4PM now, and to this point I've had 4 CBD capsules and 1 THC capsule since I got up this morning.

So, I'm taking my third hit right now...........

Whoa!!! She's hitting really nice today. I left this small piece out overnight. It's still sticky as hell and moist, making it a delicate dance to get it to hit properly, but she's sharing biiiiggggg clouds of smoke. Hahaha! Wow!

Another hit, and then I'll try to describe it. Dark Devil Auto doesn't hit like other strains, and it's hard to describe, but I'll give it a shot.......

A quick side bar.... This is what Dark Devil Auto does to the bong water. I filled this with fresh last night before I started smoking.

Potent shit. :laughtwo:

There are a few things that happen to me with DDA that don't happen with other strains.

- I start floating about five hits in. Yep, floating. I always question things like this every time I start to smoke again - you know, "did that really happen or was I just imagining it?" Stoner questions. Lol! Yep, last night and right now at hit five.

- My hands take up a low-level tremor that typically lasts about....... I'd say 30 minutes or so.

- I can mentally "transport" into any scenario I desire. Concerts, when I'm listening to good music. The forest, when I'm listening to really good music. Conversations with whomever I was thinking about at the time. When I'm smoking DDA I've a penchant to simply speak the conversation right out loud that was running inside my head. Bright snippets will just spontaneously spring forth and fill the empty space in this lonely apartment. It's quite bemusing, really. :laughtwo: Dark Devil Auto brings out a cheerful spontaneity.

- All senses are more alert.

I get creative when I smoke this strain. That usually means I'm writing something or chasing some elusive piece of information and having the time of my life tumbling through sites in my search. I don't own a television, and I almost never watch movies anymore, but my mind goes into this delicious mode where I know everything's just right and I can relax and have fun. A good mindset for searching. Searching doesn't require me to have focus, at least not the way I do it. I need to be free to trust my instincts to recognize the opportunity when it shows up. I need to have fun with it.

That's what it is. DDA makes it fun to search. :cheesygrinsmiley:

- A nice body high, the kind where everything's just a little off-kilter and the room moves at a different speed than your head does. You feel this one behind the eyes. You can hear it in my voice too. Lol!

When it's good it's borderline hallucinogenic. Not quite trippy weed, but your mind will travel. :laughtwo: This one turned out very good. :laughtwo: bobrown14 tells me it's even better with a three-month cure. I'm still trying to find a way to leave mine alone that long. It's my favorite smoke of the choices I've allowed myself.

I'll post this on the DDA thread and see if others are getting comparable experiences.

Again, where is my time machine?! At least advance me into the future enough to see if either of mine will be purple. Honestly, this looks and sounds so good I swear if I were closer you'd hear tapping on your door and a small voice begging, "Please, Sue, may I have a hit?" :laughtwo:
 
Maybe it's me guys...... The DDA3 has gone black too, and she's in LOS. :thedoubletake: Still at least a week to go with her, but she's looking like she'll come in sooner.

The other one went darker at the very end.... I bet the next week or two will lead to a darker hue.

Hehehe! OMG Tead, this is such incredible fun. I've been smiling ear-to-ear ever since I pulled her out for the drench and saw the color change. WTH??? This one endured the mite attack and major defoliation following the IPM on steroids.

Have I just found out that the way to get massive improvement in terpene and flavonoid expression, and potentially cannabinoid variety and potency is to abuse the hell out of them? I sacrificed yield for that abuse, I'm certain of it with both girls, but good grief, the resulting product is stunning. Has anyone else seen a DDA come in this dark? Now, out of the blue I have two coming in back-to-back.

I don't know how comfortable I am with that idea, but I think I'll mull it over a bit. It brought to mind the Cheese Candy I snapped almost in half during flowering when Dale was dying because I got impatient with it one day for daring to be gangly when my beloved was leaving me forever. That plant gave me massive buds just coated with trichomes and was damn fine smoke.

Whatever the reason, I am one mighty happy camper. :blunt:
 
Daily Update: Thursday, October 20, 2016

Good evening everyone. :Love: I hope your day had the joyful flavor today. We had rain, on and off, and from my workspace sitting cross-legged on the mats I have the vantage point allowing me to watch the storms roll in over the hills. What power and beauty! I'm one blessed woman to have found this marvelous apartment. Yeah, pretty joyful around these parts. :laughtwo:

Maintenance notes:
- Carnival got Brixed!
- the LOS pots got a shot of drench with aloe and some kelp, because...... well, because kelp rocks and the plants always like it when that's included. Why not? It's all minimal anyway.

So let's take that stroll and see what the lovelies are up to. Starting with the auto tent.

The future potential of Carnival #2. I opened them up to check for roots (none), moistened them with a bit more aloe water and closed them up again. I'll check in three days.

Dark Devil Auto 4 (Day 58) I spent a time last night seeking out and removing infested leaves. She has significantly fewer leaves, but that would have been something I'd do anyway to open up for light penetration, so no big losses. From here on out I'll swab the backs of any suspect leaves with 50/50 ISO.

One of these days I'll get one of those nifty usb magnifiers. I'd like to be able to see that march of beautifully defined trichomes along the petiole.

And that's all there is tonight. :battingeyelashes: I'm ready to greet the next seedlings and get the next generation going. These were Crop King Seeds, and they've proven themselves to be vigorous ones, so I have every expectation it'll be within the next two days. This timing thing for a smooth-running perpetual is quite a challenge, isn't it? I need to stop and think about how Jay and arteekat pull it off. I remember arteekay mentioning in his last post that they drop that seed two weeks ahead of projected harvest. Hmmmm..... That means I have to have an understanding of the life cycle of my strains. Oh yeah, and pay better attention. :laughtwo:

Slowly but surely I'm catching on. I sense some exciting grows in our future. :battingeyelashes: :Love:

Continue on on that joyful path.

:Namaste:
