The Perpetual Healing Garden - SweetSue's Joyful Return

Hiya, Sue, 15 lbs of Wiggleworm is not near enough....you are not following Doc's instructions....slap slap on your wrist....it all starts with the soil.....that is the foundation of it all....we can't call you one of us if you are not doing the right thing....and I am here to right this wrong along with Duggan because we care....just sayin'..... :cheertwo:

PS If you use the kit you don't need to flush....most of us wash our buds instead....

Sorry about that confusion Shawnee. I cleared that up in a later post. I used somewhere round 25 lbs. I was moving too fast when I posted that. Also, the flushing was with the hempy. :cheesygrinsmiley:

I'm flipping Carn1:4 today. I took no clones. Next Carnival I grow I'll start from seed.

She is NOT a typical, happy HB Plant. Part of the haggard look is thirst. She was finishing up an Energy drench when I took these shots It's a bit frustrating to watch the soil fall apart like this. :straightface: Her new growth is vigorous, giving me hope she'll do well. It hurts me to see them struggle. I expect the new soil to perform better than this.

Well hello GaBoy420. Have a delightful evening of visits.

I stopped to post a shot of the trim drying on the washer. Scenes like this in my own home make me so happy I could dance. In fact that's what I did when I walked into the kitchen just now.

I had to share. :cheesygrinsmiley:

See what I mean? Makes my blood dance. :slide:

You're welcome. :kisstwo:
 
Good morning everyone. :Love:



I have some goodies that've been freezing for the past couple days as I decide just exactly I wanted to do with them. I was preparing for a run of CCO, but the season is an overriding complicating factor. I have no vent fan over the stove and open the windows is a bit out of the question with temps in the teens. I need a technique for making oil that doesn't call for all that solvent to be used.

IMG_331016.JPG


Looking at that picture I had to laugh at how my freezer has been taken over by my gardening passion. This is the freezer of a medicine woman. Lol!

I went looking at other options and thought of Major PITA. He started making his dry-sift hash after freezing, and came up with a sweet quick method to convert lots of cannabis into piles of dry-sift hash that's so simple and easy it's a bit breathless to even consider. It's a simple process to convert this hash to oil for medicinal use.

This led me to a search of dry-sift screens, because all I have on hand is some silk at 125 threads per inch. I had an inkling I might want something better before attempting this. I'm producing medicinal oils, and it occurred to me that there might be someone out there who had an idea about purity.

Turns out it was Bubbleman. :laughtwo: He did a wonderful article for High Times this month on dry-sift hash, and he's perfected his own technique to get it to nearly 99% putity. Stunning! Well worth the read. Couldn't be more highly recommended. It set to motion the idea of producing artisan oils using pure trichome heads. I'll need to get me some screens ASAP. :slide: There must be another use for what I have frozen.

This is a delicious day, filled with the most unexpected opportunities. Another half brownie is called for. :cheesygrinsmiley:
 
Congratulations Sue, you made the top of page 500.

The Albuquerque trip was wild, on the road at 4, snow packed and icy roads until about noon and dry roads back. I went straight to my buddies house and we took his Jeep for shopping and lunch.

I bought two bottles of 10mg soft gels for about a dollar a pill and a chocolate bar. With what is on hand, that should last until my wife has an appointment there next month.

I scored two healthy clones, teenagers really, that were about 10 or 12 inches tall, Extreme and Nightmare Cookies. I bought two grams of Duggan's new favorite strain, Green crack and a few assorted grams of other flowers.

At the clone place, my buddy discovered he had left his credit/debit card at home where he had been ordering something. He also had two clones on the counter that I wished I had seen first. I covered what he needed and we squared up when we got back to his place.

This compels me to tell a feel good story for Sue of an experience that started with not having a card with me. I had been traveling out of state and one of my two cards had been frozen because I had not notified them I would be traveling. When I got back home I put the card on my desk to remind me to call the CC company. The next chore was groceries. The weather was not good and it was a little late. The store had only a few customers and one checkout open. I gather up about two bags of stuff and head for the checkout.

Cool, only one lady in front and she is almost finished. Well, she thought she had selected some toilet paper that was on sale and what she had was more than twice the price she thought it was. She looked like she wanted to just pay for it but I don' t think she had the budget to do that. It turned into four trips to the paper isle for the bag boy while the line was growing behind me. The cashier was apologizing, the lady behind me was pissed and the customer with the TP order looked like she wanted to die. So I try to keep it light joking around and saying it was not a problem.

I was not in a hurry and actually found it light entertainment though I was wishing I could do more for the TP girl. She finally gets affordable paper and leaves.

Cool, my turn. My order comes to about twenty dollars more than I have. No problem, I have another card. The only problem is it turns out that one is frozen too. With the joking around and generally acting like an idiot, I had managed to have everyone at least accepting the delay as not that big a deal,except, the lady with smoke coming out of her ears. She is now pissed because two people are holding her up and no one else is willing to be pissed with her.

I pull a few items out of the bags, pay for the remainder and leave.

Before I could get my stuff in my car, the lady behind grumpy woman comes out laughing and calls out to me. "You think not having enough cash was a problem. I did not bring my purse with me.

The end.

Best

Canyon...how was/is the GC?
 
Canyon said:
It is, mostly was, first class smoke. I had bought a little the last time I was up there. Your grow reminded me that I liked it.

The label said 22% THC.

I believe it.

Much thanks for that C. I'm wondering if anyone has grown it HB....don't think with Doc's. gear anyhow. I have a feeling it's gonna be very 'up' to say the least....TBH, i don't think too much about how potent it's gonna be...we all know the stuff we grow kicks ass, in some way or another,...it's the flavor and taste i crave, and a nice buzz too...:tokin: Cheers Canyon,..stick around would ya...see how this DBHBB Green Crack (two diff. phenos) turns out.
Have an awesome night Sue and gang!:circle-of-love:
 
Canyon, that made me laugh right out loud. Good for her, laughing at herself. :laughtwo:

The daughter and her partner have decided they're moving from our building. When that happens there's no reason for me to stay here any longer. An interesting, and unexpected development. Of course, the very first thing I thought of was how that would make you smile. :battingeyelashes: :Love:

Page 500. I gotta stick my head in here and let you know you are the Medicine Woman.

What a sweet thought. :hugs: Thank you for pointing the page number out Jim. I have a habit of missing the milestones, and this was about to be one of those. :laughtwo: 500 pages. Whew! That's a lot of interaction for a year. Lol!

I decided to hold off on the next joyful journal until my soil is ready and I plant the next round. I think I have about 2 1/2 weeks to go.
 
Right before I went out this afternoon I peeked in on the tiny closet and Emerald was jumping up and down saying "Look at me! Look at me!!!"

She was looking mighty cute. I thought that joy deserved to be shared. :cheesygrinsmiley:

Thanks Ditch. It's rewarding to watch her bounce back. I'm an object lesson on how to pull things out of the fire. lol! That guardian angel that hovers over my garden is earning his yearly bonus. :laughtwo:

Well I did smile, because I was happy that your daughter was well enough to make that decision with her partner. However, I confess that I was a little slow picking up on you getting closer to making a larger move of your own.

A short vacation that I wish I could have managed to join and a few weeks to finish things up would make it early spring. I left Virginia on April fool's day in 1978 to escape the rat race. But, I was also looking for a little more adventure and new places to see, I suppose. It was one of the best things I have ever done.

With your help and love, your daughter is healthy enough to continue healing without a lot of face to face help on your part. Some virtual hugs over the phone and a few "I love you."s should keep her well.

Good Morning Everyone. :Love:

I woke up, read this again, and smiled. At the moment I looked her in the eye and said "I think it's time you listen to the cosmos and move already" I had a rush of excitement hit like you wouldn't believe. It meant it's my time too. Now I watch, expectantly.....with joyful expectation, for the lighted path to open up before me.

All your life you're taught to set your goals and work hard to achieve them. It's all smoke and mirrors to keep you controlled. So easy to buy into. They dangle that money-coated carrot and whack at you from behind with the need to conform.

Hahaha! It's all backwards. You desire. You feel that desire as though it were a part of your very existence, right here, right now. Then you wait for inspiration and you move as soon as the call comes. I've been feeling my way into this mindset all my life. My most dramatic illustration was knowing Dale was out there over a year before we met. Some of the decisions I made in the hold of that awareness defied everything I'd been raised to believe. My stubborn insistence to follow my inspiration into the scary unknown resulted in 34 years of unconditional loving.

So this sense that New Mexico may have been calling me all along is delicious. Early Spring has a nice feel. One never knows. I'm completely unencumbered. How many women my age have the courage to set out and start anew? Hah! I have another 30 of making noise left in me. Let's play.

Joy people. Get out there and share. It won't just make you feel good. It's what your ECS needs you to express so it can keep you healthy and whole. I want you all healthy and whole, so take one for the team and be unconditionally joyful. :laughtwo:

You were evolved to heal. Laughter is the way to stay there.
