The Perpetual Healing Garden - SweetSue's Joyful Return

determined to get the entire thought down before it wanders off
Click to expand...


yeah.... that's a frequent issue in my world as well. I figure the ones that wander off are apparently meant to wander. Sometimes I worry I let something interesting wander off, but then I just burn another bowl and let those secondary concerns wander away as well.



This was the last lingering effects of grief, waiting to be casually dropped by the side of my path. I'm healed.

Ya know... that's just awesome.
In the winter when the wind blows and the thermometer stays well south of where it should be, 'ole Tead feels the physical pain of injuries deep in his past. His shoulder aches where his collar bones were broken. His leg reminds him of a fall from a tree.
I would suspect that, over the years, those sorts of transient pains visit us all in sorts of ways. Be they physical or emotional, I see no real difference... they even seem to be tied to the same season and they seem to have similar impact in my world.
So... don't be shocked if a touch of pain is a common visitor.
Then again, you're a wise woman... I suspect these words are already well known in your world.
 
Good morning Sue. Decided to pop on by and say hello. How are things at your part of the world? Hope all is well.

I treated myself to a copy of Elizabeth Gilbert's "Big Magic" this year, so I'd read about the creative process from her perspective. When I bought the book I hadn't accepted that I was actually a writer, and not simply someone talented at stringing a conversation along.

When inspiration hit in precisely the way she described I was taken aback. Then I giggled and let go. :laughtwo: This is the most satisfying rush I've ever experienced. To be able to supplement the inspiration with cannabis woke it all up for me by letting me allow it to begin.

If this is what society likes to call "lazy stoner behavior" I'll be this poster child any old day of the week. :blunt:

Having read Elizabeth's delightful tome, which I finally finished this Friday, :laughtwo: I was prepared for the whimsical way inspiration plays, wandering in and out, striking at the most unlikely times. I just woke up. The intro to my thread on supporting the ECS wrote itself in the middle of the night, so I didn't get to bed until 4:30, didnt wind down enough to pass out until almost 6.

The baby blues popped open at 10. I'm ready to play this delicious game again. :slide:

Such elegant guidance of the language. :dreamy: I'm fully prepared. This journey, with this crew surrounding me, has been the most unusual account of grief counseling I've ever witnessed. Someday I'll write about it.

I think we should be neighbors. Lol! Your neighborhood puts off a special kinda vibration. I feel like we'd end up inspiring each other to write from a different perspective. I've had that experience happen to me just recently. It changed the way we both wrote and jump started a book in each of our lives.

Good morning Kush Girl. :hugs: :Love: I hope all's well in your kingdom of green. Things haven't ever been this good in mine. I discovered why it's important to keep a joyful demeanor, and it's changed my life. Now I have more reason to encourage you all to get joyful right now. :battingeyelashes: Being joyful is the best way you can begin to support your hard-working endocannabinoid system.

Kinda poetic that the person apparently charged with getting this message out there would be me, isn't it? We're gonna love this sweet ride. SweetSue found the path she'd been watching for. :slide: :green_heart:

Hello Sue! You really got some action going there, I like your room with the tents. I got a question, how far you got your lights from the plants? I got my Mars light some 14 inches away and my Herer is like 10 inches from my 250W HPS, temps are low, so no worry about overheating. Having lights as close as possible really helps with the flowering process, thus yield. I like the Swick system very interesting. I too got together an irrigation system. It's called Olla (spanish for pot) and I got a thread about it in the DIY section: Here . It's basically terracotta vase buried in ground used for millenniums. Nothing new but forgotten.

Thank you for sharing your girls and research with us! You are doing great job at that. Thank you for being here on the forum. :thanks: :Love: :Namaste:

Thank you for sharing that. It occurs to me I saw this shared in Canna's room somewhere, but it passed my consciousness right by that time. This is rather brilliant Tomula, and I'm going to experiment with the CBD Critical Cure when I transplant her. I'll have to backtrack to this post and tap you with that massively heavy rep hammer. It's well over 8000 points by now, so brace yourself. :laughtwo:

My Timber and Advanced panels both instruct no closer than 2' from the brilliance. The BudMaster says start them on the floor and let them reach for the light. I don't fiddle with that light at all. It runs my flowering tent, an obvious indicator of my preference. It supports flowering marvelously, so I won't be messing with that success.

The Mars panels I can get within 12" of the canopy. Lots more play there, and the plants respond very nicely to being that close. Get that close with my other panels and the plants crash and burn.

I thought it only appropriate I begin my day with a cup of coffee shared with you. I'll have my Sunday brownies while it brews. :cheesygrinsmiley:

Good morning everyone else. :Love:

It's a gloriously sunny day in The Burgh. I'll be heading out soon to get some Vit D time for the skin. I've been inside long enough. :laughtwo: I encourage you all to fire up your own ECS with as much joyful expression as you'll allow yourself to feel today. I'm doesn't matter how much or for how long, only that you acknowledge the desire. The joy finds its way to expression. It just needs you to be willing to share it. :battingeyelashes: :Love:

Coffee's ready to go. Time to get on with my day. :cheesygrinsmiley:

Sue, have you figured out a certain number of grams per volume of olive oil or butter? We always just kinda eye ball the amount of buds to put in. Sometimes it seems like a waste. Have you figured out how many grams per brownie that you are eating?

:Love::Love:

Here is her recipe....understand of course that she is not your average bear. These pack a punch :)

Sue's Brownie Recipe

She has been decarbing longer lately for an extra special kick....and I personally prefer coconut oil for taste alone.

lazyfish said:
Why do you put the bud/oil mix in the fridge overnight? Its also interesting that you do not sieve out the bud.
Click to expand...

Well, let me explain lazyfish.

I'm increasing bioavailability by adding liquid sunflower lecithin. The refrigeration helps the lecithin to encapsulate the cannabinoids that're bound to the oil molecules. This emulsification and encapsulation allow the cannabinoids to slip more easily into the system and begin healing more quickly and perform their chores more efficiently.

Typically, we can expect cannabinoids passing through the gut to offer about 12% bioavailability. This adding of the lecithin and refrigeration overnight increases this into the potential of up to 90% bioavailability.

I don't sieve out the bud material because I don't want to lose any cannabinoids. I'm greedy that way. :cheesygrinsmiley: I work with strains that are rather tasty, to be honest, and I've grown fond of the flavors, but it's mostly that I'm unwilling to let a single cannabinoid get left behind, if I can help it. Lol!
 
Sue, hitting you with some reps with my mini-hammer! :rofl: I love the last photo in that post. Made me do a triple-take. Yup, that's the same bite out of the same brownie on your tablet. Perfect meta-picture! Sweet editing. 'Delicious' even! :)

Speaking of things meta, half my points are from reps from you, so it's kind of like you hitting your self with reps for posting a picture in a post of the picture in the post. I feel a Seuss-ism coming on.
I'm giving you mini-meta-mega-hammer post-post triple-take picture post reps!

Thank you so much Rad. You know how much that means to me. I've been writing all night, and this was the sweetest thing I could have found when I finished. :hugs: :Love:

Yeah.... Snow White won't mind...... :kisstwo:
 
I finished the thread on supporting the ECS without cannabis.

Supporting Your ECS Without Cannabis

I'm beat. I'm going to bed now, but with a big-ass self-satisfied grin spread across my face. :blunt:

Goodnight everyone. More fun tomorrow. :kisstwo:

:laughtwo: "Like" buttons out of control! Lol!

I've been warned about cookies and cannabis. The concern is the potential for the high temps to convert the THC. I don't see this as so much a problem with something as dense as brownies or possibly something like oatmeal cookies. I don't see any reduction in potency in my brownies, and they cook at 350 F.

I can see the potential for this with a thinner, less dense sugar cookie. Sometimes they cook at higher temperatures as well. I once made a batch of cannalavender cookies, which are essentially a butter cookie. They gave me nowhere near the anticipated buzz.

I have a course waiting to be watched over at Green Flower Media on canna cooking. I'll check there later and see if I can pin this down a little better.

They're a denser cookie, not like a traditional airy sugar cookie. Most of the consistency comes from the coconut oil subbed in for veg oil in the recipe. Thickens and binds the dough up differently! The vegetable oil recipe makes for a cookie that's oddly similiar to biting into marzipan without so much of the melting effect.
And I believe the loss isn't too great, they're fully baked in 8 to 10 minutes... that's 8 to 10 after 3 hours of refrigeration! I've been thinking of posting the recipes for my favorite coconut oil cookies... I'll have to type them out soon!

Hey AngryBird! Well I've been around for a while on here on Sue's posts. I only kept myself quiet a long time and also the last 3 4 weeks were pretty busy.

Anyway well... Cookies... I don't recommend it for myself because well they're cookies and I eat cookies like there is no tomorrow. And if it beats a joint? Oh damn. I don't smoke actually but maybe I will if my plants are done and when I got myself a fancy nice pipe! So I don't think that Canna Cookies will be on my dinner plate anytime soon bit thanks anyway

Hi SweetSue :hugs: Hi all

HI rik, nice to see you found your way to Sue's garden.:)

It is cookies made from canna butter. And they are made easily it takes about 1 1/2 hr for them to kick in. But it beats smoking a joint and get a cough.
I have posted a recipe n the eatable section. Shortbread.

I prefer coconut oil in my cookies for the fat content... not to mention health benefits. The lemon cookies I mentioned you'll want more than one haha. That's why I do the infused batch and a regular batch afterwards... you need some un-infused to enjoy the full fresh lemon taste. But the lemon cookies are a favorite amongst a bunch of patients in the area as well as recreational users... almost a full gram of bud in each
 
This information is all gold. I need a recipe for something for my Agent Orange. Maybe same recipe as the lemon cookies substituted with my freshly grown oranges? Any suggestion?

Orange Sugar Cookies | Jen's Favorite Cookies

Something like this with Agent Orange infused coconut oil instead...?

I know you said Sue that sugar cookies sometimes don't pack same punch as brownies but my homegrown fruits and strains heavily lean towards favouring oranges. I was wondering if you could create a recipe for me that has the correct temperatures and process from experience when the time comes. I've also got lots of watermelons and rockmelons and I think that's about it. .. Those are the fruits I will have at the time when I am ready and will have too many to know what to do with.

Thanks sincerely,

.
