The Perpetual Healing Garden - SweetSue's Joyful Return

SweetSue said:
It's been over a month since I tore the tent down and headed off to my first vacation in 7 years. I learned that I need to be growing and two months off is about a month and a half too long for me. :laughtwo: I've been wandering the threads like a homeless waif, but I've also been incredibly busy researching and writing blog posts associated with Concentrated Cannabis Oil (CCO) and, of course, vacationing. As I've delved deeper into the study of the Endocannabinoid System and how Phytocannabinoids aid and enhance the body's natural defenses it's become obvious that my grows will now be geared more towards the production of CCO and edible meds than recreational. I voluntary gave up any and all cannabis to take this vacation, and that experience, coupled with the information I've uncovered in my studies, has caused me to accept the importance of cannabis to my own health and the value of incorporating concentrated cannabis oils in our lives.

Why I'm Growing
I'll continue to use cannabis recreationally, but the focus has shifted more towards the medicinal applications. It's time to heal myself and to offer the potential through oils to my daughter, who's suffered too much in her life from a debilitating Severe Anxiety Disorder that's been complicated with obesity and the threat of diabetes. I'd hope to avoid the path her father took.

This grow is all about change - change of grow space, change of lighting, change of attitude. From this point out I'll be running a healing garden. My choices of strains will be guided by the physical malady it's meant to treat, predominantly my daughter's anxiety, which we plan to treat through tacking, and my battle with scalp psoriasis, coupled with the aches and creaks of the aging body. My daughter's low tolerance for cannabis is further challenged by her penchant to have panic attacks while euphoric. Proper tacking will eliminate the concerns about euphoria, and the inclusion of some methods of Creative Inhibition will increase the number of cannabinoids working in her system, thus increasing the medicinal effectiveness. I'm determined to help her heal.

I still have 18 days before I get home, but I feel a need to begin working out the complexities of the planning stage, so I'm starting the grow journal now to document that process. I've come into a bit of mad money and I want to be cautious about where it gets directed. There's such a danger of frivolous and impulsive spending. My hope is that with all the brilliant minds who've supported me looking over my shoulder I can be more thoughtful and make wise purchases.

What I'll Be Growing
I'll be starting with autos setting up the perpetual machine again. Everything, and I mean everything is open for discussion as I begin the preparations. I haven't settled on strains or spaces or anything else, other than my plan to plant the day after I get home on the 3rd of February.

So let's get to work.

I am sorry to hear about your life complications, they are often the fuel the fire needed for greatness. Look into the story of Big Mike from Advanced Nutrients, also a troubled child that managed to use that energy towards good things. :) Subbed!

Whoa! Impressed I am!! :laughtwo: I want this recipe, if you don't mind.

Pigeons420 may be able to help you with the videos. He has a YouTube channel and posts them every day.

3/4 cup melted, infused and strained coconut oil. I have a crock pot method for making it if someone needs that... no risk of burning the coconut oil off... no mess from a double boiler. You don't even need cheese cloth to strain it if you have one of those acrylic grinders laying around and a mini kitchen strainer

(This should be able hold 3/4 of an ounce... I use 7 grams for this recipe unless someone orders a large batch with more potency. In that case I'll use dry sift or bubble hash at a greater dose)

3/4 cup packed, light or dark brown sugar

(Preference, if you like a bit of molasses flavor in your chocolate chip use dark this recipe has a lot of options)

1/4 cup unrefined granulated coconut sugar

(It really makes a difference over white sugar in flavor)

1 large egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract
(real over imitation makes a huge difference)

2 cups of flour
(I've only tried this recipe with white)

1 packet of pudding mix
(Some are 3.4oz others are 3.5oz both have worked)

1 teaspoon baking soda

An optional pinch of salt...

(If you have rock salt sprinkle a tiny bit on each cookie right as they come out of the oven, sweet and salty compliments well. The folks around me that don't enjoy the weed flavor in their cookie appreciate this.)

An optional pinch of cinnamon

(A great addition of you use dark chocolate chips)

1-2 cups of chocolate chips

2- mini chips
1.5- regular
1- large

I'll explain the 1 to 2... if you use mini chips you can get away with 2 and the dough still holds itself together with some shaping. I suggest packing each into a measuring cup, or form. If you use regular sized chips 1.5 cups. If you use those large ghirardelli pieces (hunks, chunks, or melting discs) then only 1 cup...

You should net roughly 15 packed 1/4 cup sized cookies. The size is important, you want them tall/thick.

It took me a bit to type this off my notes so I'll quote it in a little while and add prep, mixing order, temp, bake time etc. Maybe I should also stop sidewinding Sue's thread... I'll find a place over in edibles for other recipes! If there's a thread where anyone has already started a compilation direct me over...

Seems to me like that would be just fine. You might get a hint of the flavor, but the coffee flavors should mask most of it. You might not taste anything.
I bet someone here has kicked those tires already. I suspect one of the regulars will chime in soon.

Here, I'll chime in. :battingeyelashes:

A tincture would probably be the best way to add to black coffee. Take about three grams of decarbed and finely ground bud, add it to the contents of a small bottle of alcohol, you know, the kind they used to give you on planes? Yep, one of those. In PA we can buy them at the register in the State stores (they control alcohol sales here).

Shake it up real good and toss into the freezer for two weeks. Shake it up every time you think of it. After two weeks, strain it out and use. Potency is determined by strain choice, of course, but it lets you potentiate the coffee with ease.

Time for a cup, now that I think of it. I add my own tincture to mine, a Dark Devil made with vegetable glycerin. Sweeter, but this is me. :cheesygrinsmiley:

Are we joyful people? :Love: Like I really have to ask. :laughtwo:

I couldn't wait to get these cut. Lol! Fresh brownies are the best. The melted caramel is crunchy. :slide: This one is hitting me right this very minute. It feels like I'm lifting off the ground. No lie! :laughtwo:

The CAT

Carn1:3 is beginning to race to the finish. I though it best to push her a day or two ahead and get the CATs started. She's at Day 99 and 37 days into her flip. Not too far off the mark Graytail and I once worked off. I feel better about that now. Lol!

Let's see how much change she registers in the next week. She smells rediculously delicious. Makes you want to take a bite. Lol!

Time for that coffee I tempted myself with. :ciao:
 
Carn 1:3 got plain water today. She's just beginning to show flowers. :slide:

Day 96 and 11 days after flip.

One last lovely picture before I move on to other things.

Carn2:1 Emerald (Day 96) Doesn't look the same, does it? Look Graytail, I found out what a healthy one looks like. Lol!

4dutch, you also have learned to make butter :)

Hi all :hugs:

I made some butter this morning and into hubby cookies. This time I was careful with how much I nibbled. (one crumb) but, I decided to roll the cookie dough into round balls and flatten them out on the tray....bad idea.
This was cookies made of 43 gr decarbed bud to 280 gr of butter. I was hit by a freight train i the afternoon and once again, blood pressure went to low mode and I passed out.

I know skin absorbs, didn't know it was THAT powerful. ( each cookie had 1 gr of weed in it and I made 50 pieces.)
Click to expand...

Ah! Yes. Well, you did what I did :) It was the most powerful I'd felt it. I was literally knocked on my butt all day.

I am so sorry you passed out, though. That's so scary!
 
Spookies, which post of yours did I miss? We fly through the pages around here. Lol!

I just had the startling realization that for as much as I'm looking forward to paradise and meeting friends, I'm having so much fun right here at home that I'll miss it when I'm vacationing. :laughtwo:

Don't get me wrong.... Paradise. :Love: :slide: :Love:
 
:laughtwo: Oh my word..... I posted that last one, got up from the workbench and went straight to the bed. I just woke up. WTH???? That's twice today that happened. Lol! I do believe the body is catching up from that last burst of creative energy.

This is so odd, learning to just respond, rather than plan the day out. I spent my entire adult life waking up to the list. "The List." Every woman reading that knows what I mean. Women wake up with the day already planning itself out. We're massive multi-taskers and the relentless pressure to get it all done begins before the eyes open every morning. It's one of those differences about the sexes that's always fascinated me.

When I began making it a practice to greet each day with an exuberant

"I'm ready to play" :slide: :yahoo: :party:

one of the first things I noticed was I no longer have a list present itself. No list. None at all. I started "feeling" my way through the days and discovered the cosmos continued on without my attending to any list. :laughtwo:

This carefree sense that keeps building can keep doing that. Lol! Oh gosh..... I'm hungry. Decision: to fix that omelet or not????

Omelet it is. :battingeyelashes: :Love:

 
Ooooo..... With bacon!!!!! :slide:
