The Perpetual Healing Garden - SweetSue's Joyful Return

Looking like a solid set up SweetSue.
I, admittedly, have been lost in many pages here. The in depth conversations that roll off the fingertips of you guys/gals are kinda intimidating.

But now...

You have green! And tent! And lights! And fans!
And what looked to be chicken Alfredo the other night!
Now, I am comfortable.
I really can't wait to see what you pull off, between your skills and the combined skills frequenting here.
BTW, I'm especially interested in the JH auto, as that's what I am doing now. I have 2 just breaking soil, a few days behind you. I will, for sure be using this as a reference.
Peace

That's great Yeaster! I'll try to do a good job with mine. It was the smoothest smoke I grew so far. Like silk when you inhaled. Never got that from anything else yet. I'm wanting to grow a regular Jack Herer and do a comparison.

I better do good here. With the people who frequent these pages I have a certain responsibility to demonstrate some skills. :laughtwo:
 
Now that is a fancy light you got there Sara! Er, um Sue! Awesome really and it sure does light up that tent.

Sorry about your day being a bit touchy earlier but hey, you did it, got out, got it done and got home. That's what counts! Good for you.

May you have a blissful evening with all your cool new toys.
Bob ;)
 
Great journal! Great people!!! Something tells me this will only get better, I've hit post 340 and no seed planted yet. Great following you have SweetSue! My thoughts go out to you and your family for what you've been through and for still what your dealing with!
I also am helping my 18 year old son, he struggles with depression, anxiety and has been on prosaic off and on for years at the start which he nor I likes how he was on it. He also over the past 3 years of motocross racing he suffered 2 bad conclusions, now he is off the bike until the head heals if it does. Head aches never seem to go away. We have found a couple strains that he says help with the depression and anxiety they are:

Why thank you Bob. I broke out some Carnival and that baby bong Herbie's sent me in my Goodie Bag and I'm just now taking my fourth hit. Hold on............... Damn! I'd forgotten how much I enjoyed using a bong. I envy those of you that have glass collections.

Gosh, that feels good. I take teeny tiny hits too, so I've just barely started. Superior strain of cannabis, this Carnival and mine's been curing two months.

The frustrations of earlier in the day are ancient history. I used to beat myself up about being human, even as I championed other's right to be. Not so much any more. So I'm human. I'm not afraid of being flawed. The agoraphobia event was interesting. I knew it was situational and temporary. I never considered otherwise, come to think of it. Knowing that and acknowledging it, getting to the root of the problem and understanding why I felt that way, I still couldn't reach for the doorknob. It became a ballet of avoidance. I kept walking by, or turning away to check on one more thing. :straightface:

In the end I simply grabbed my keys and walked out the door. I'd had the coat on for a good half hour or longer. I forced myself to do it by sheer force of will. My daughter has described much the same experience, although hers are accompanied by sheer, unrelenting terror, whereas mine was more curious and inconvenient. I never got scared, I got mad. I'd hope to avoid a repeat experience, but it gave me a unique insight into some of what an agoraphobic goes through. I'm a grieving widow, not an agoraphobic, and grief can be a strange dance partner. Granted, Agoraphobia was a bit out there. :laughtwo:

Wow! Let me take another hit. .................
 
You may try a nice inhale of black pepper and lavender next time Sue!

It is always an opportunity that when phobias arise to dive into them as you did and look for the source of the symptom. I applaud you for that today. Feel free to imagine ol Shiggs cheering you on because I totally understand. If I didn't have my lady I would never bother to leave the house. I definitely have hermit tendencies. I am stoked to see your reward upon returning as well. Never before have you had a full set of equipment to really crank on a grow. Now...now this shit just got real. I am ready with some big expectations and full confidence for you to pull them off. Cheers to you my good friend. You are really on the verge. I can just see it in my minds eye.
 
Hi Sara,

Sue would really like her light, you can ship it care of Arteekay...

Thank you so much Shiggity. When I married Dale I didn't fully appreciate his hermit tendencies. It in no way diminished my adoration for him or my devotion to making his dreams come true. It did give us a reason to miss too many family gatherings. Maybe not such a good thing. I'm too relentlessly optimistic to let a phobia take me over. :laughtwo:

Yes indeed, this shit just got real. Reminded me of the day I unpacked the Ostberg fan. When I pulled that light out of the plastic and had it in my hands it sat me back on my heels for a few moments. Mostly it made me giggle. :laughtwo:

A grow has a few basics: plants, medium, lights, water. You need space to grow, a filtration system that can handle the demands of the space, good water, soil that will grow the plants for you and enough lights to wake up the trichomes. Oh yeah, and adequate electrical power to run the equipment.

I have the space, the soil, the filtration system, the genetics, the water, the electricity and now - for the first time - I have the lights. These little 2x2 tents are sweet. They feel like just the right size to me. Once I rehang the curtain they're going to disappear. Haha!

Hi Hydro1000,

Sorry about your son. When I was young I aspired to ride for a factory team and was working on Yamaha. I suffered a broken clavicle and coccyx in a crash that to this day, 25 years later, still trouble me. Needless to say I missed my chance.

It's hard to not be able to do something you love. Is he a mechanic type? Could he shift that love to something motorcycle related, like a mechanic at a shop or even a factory team? I know there are a few tech schools that are cycle-centric.

Head injuries are nothing to fool around with. Best wishes for a speedy recovery. And if you guys go to the Amateur Nationals at Lorettas in August, drop me a PM here :;):
 
That 350 is so cool Sara, oh I mean Sue. You don't even have to add CFLs to take white light pics.

Thanks Heirloom, it's funny you say that about the Nationals, with nitro running through his veins that would be one event he would put the helmet back on for, hope it doesn't reads this lol. We checked out her school in the past but it just hasn't went his way, it's not easy sport on the body definitely not on his head. He is working in a bike and sled shop, but not the same as flying 120 feet with 30 other racers.

Thank you for that strain information. I'll catch up to you through PM for some particulars. It's a side interest of mine.

:laughtwo: My thoughts exactly B A R. I suddenly find myself with an abundance of light. I'll have reserve panels. LOL! Never, in my wildest dreams......

Not an easy sport on moms and dads either, but the energy levels these athletes thrive on is almost impossible to squelch. My best to you all. Are you using any form of CCO? The increased number of available cannabinoids could only help. Weird how I suddenly started thinking of cannabis as a medicinal herb.

I just had a communique with a good friend who's husband had his first visit with a rheumatologist. The medication of choice removed alcohol from his pain relief options. In a better universe we'd be talking about some other options, more long-term than short. We'll be having lunch in a couple weeks. Her husband may just need a new hobby.
 
Sue that mini bong sounds absolutely fabulous. I miss all my glass. Definitely a downside to vaping instead. Beautiful glass of all shapes and sizes. Now I have a thing in front of me that looks like the game, Dark Tower got it on with a medical inhaler. Remember that game one anyone? Brigands attacking the tower!

Oh how I miss my 4 foot long bong that we lovingly called The Death Star. Oh, good times good times. Took 2 persons to operate or a 1 foot long match. All plastic, could have been used as a weapon like Clue. Dr Bob, with the bong, in the Library. Wow, that makes me think we need a :420: version of that. Sweet Sue with the Magic Butter machine in the Observatory. Colonel Pee Jay with the spade in green house. I could go on but I will stop. Now that I would play for sure. Online, so we can all play against each other. Hmmmm.

That Carnival sounds top shelf for sure. Do you still have more MOTY stuff coming? Kinda like watching a game show each time you get something.

In my best announcers voice, "and a brand new cannabis car, made entirely of plant material and runs on hemp oil, this miricle of modern...". What possibly could come next?!!?

:circle-of-love:
Bob ;)
 
Bob I LOVED that game. My friend had it and I would always ask to play it. You can download a free app that is the dark tower program. Now all I need is a copy of the game board and pieces!

Henry Ford's dream right there... and the reason they shut him down. It just may happen some day!

Good evening. :laughtwo: :Love:

I completely forgot that this didn't get posted because the site was down at the time.

It's been a good day. Two days in a row, stuck to the morning routine. Progress. I added some of the Foods Alive Hemp Protein powder to my oatmeal this morning. It certainly couldn't hurt.

image7415.jpeg



The day started with a couple early deliveries. *giggle*

smokinjs sent along a sweet dry herb vaporizer that I've yet to play with, along with a slew of other goodies.

image7416.jpeg


But it's the vaporizer that's the star of this prize package. I've work to do before I can indulge that exploration.

image7414.jpeg


Gorilla Seeds gave me the option to order those Strawberry Blue seeds I've been coveting. Thank you Gorilla Seeds. :Love: This one's in the next rotation for sure. :slide:

image7417.jpeg


No sign of any more seedlings. That makes two Carnival duds in a row. Not pleased with that. I hear you B A R. Maybe one of these days I'll actually act on what I'm hearing. :battingeyelashes: I may place an order for rock wool cubes while shipping is still free. You know, every time I have a seed not come up I feel you lean in and clear your throat. :laughtwo:

Where did the rest of the day go? I'm finishing up Callanetics when this gets posted, but much of the day's been spent in research mode. I did have an extensive conversation with a friend whose son has seizures and I think maybe it's time to teach them how to grow and process the harvest into oil. She's a nurse who's tired of waiting for the system to change. In her opinion it's going to take a ground level revolution. Kind of like what we have going here. I'll encourage them to join the site.

Hmmmmm..... I do have this new bigger tent I just won and a filtration system too big for my needs.

Oh yeah, that. The incredible filtration and ventilation system I have isn't going to fit in one of these tents. :straightface:

image7445.jpeg


Even if I mount them so that the fan sits on the roof of the tent that canister is just too big for this limited space. Thankfully, I have a DIY project for a filter/fan setup I should have no problem pulling together that will fit the space. But that means I have to park the Ostberg and Can 33. I need to wait until the Budmaster panel gets here and see how it fits, but I've been thinkin' all along that I need smaller, individual filters for each tent.

Alright, back to the rest of my body sculpting. Maybe a couple vape hits before I get back to it. :laughtwo: This little smokinjs vape is sweet, let me tell you. The screen clogs too quickly, but I'm still figuring it out. I like the way it hits though. All these options! :laughtwo:

image36214.jpg


Dr. Bob, I still have two more light panels in shipment. I think the only other thing outstanding is the Magic Butter Machine, which is on back order. It has been a flurry of gifts.

Back to work. Later guys. :ciao:

I have an off the top of my head, out of the box solution to your filter issue if you're interested in hearing it. Actually, ironically, it's more an in the box idea.

Absolutely, I want to hear it. This challenge demands out-of-the-box thinking. Spill.
