The Perpetual Healing Garden - SweetSue's Joyful Return

[Heirloom]

I kinda miss that excitement. I live it vicariously through others like yourself, so thank you. Long gone are the days of giving them names. Now it's designations, like cattle, lol. HSO-BD-P1-C2.2

High Sue. I know better than trying to catch up on one of your threads after a 3wk sabbatical so I'll just jump back in right here.

Smart man. Welcome back B A R. Things are rolling along nicely. I was just staking some limbs down in the auto tent. This LST stuff is kinda fun.

How're things in your garden? I haven't been there in a couple days so you're probably three more pages in by now. LOL! It's more exciting in your garden, at least for the moment. Well, it's always exciting in your tents with the never-ending harvest.

 

[ShiggityFlip]

Plenty of excitement in your garden Sue. You have completely rearranged...well...everything. It is an ambitious undertaking!

Thank you so much Shiggity. Boy, I needed to hear that. I was having a talk with myself earlier - I must be coming to one of those crazy transition points - about the value of what I do. I'm growing, documenting the grow, researching to write readable information on the Endocannabinoid System for the oil threads, packing up my past life so I can move on with my next stage and preparing to make CCO for the first time. These are not petty things. It surprises me to find myself questioning the worth of my days. I have a strong personality and I've been at this game of life a few years, so I work through these things fairly quickly, but still. Really? I sometimes wonder if these moments are residue from all those years of stoner propaganda when we were told it was a "concern".

It gets rough keeping all the plates spinning with no one here at the house to cheer me on. Been kinda blue. So thanks.

Never doubt your value my Sue! You are responsible for changing lives, inspiring people, and helping to lead the way towards health. Bravo to you my good friend. I am honored to count you among the people I have love in my heart for. You have a fan right here always.

 

[Heirloom]

If it helps at all you are the only one I have ever made outside contact with.

One persons daily worth is no greater or less than the next unless one holds the fate of humanity in their hands. It's only perception. You're important to a lot of us.

Put down the plates, pick up some music and go visit your favorite spot. Reflect. Cry. Smile.

I have a feeling you need that unplugged time.

 

[hydro1000]

I have a feeling you're right. This week didn't pan out but I think I can clear some time next week. I got the piece written for methylation and finally got it posted on the cancer protocol thread. That'd been haunting me for a long time. I've never attempted this level of creative writing before and it takes a lot out of one that you don't anticipate. I'm beginning to appreciate why writers go off alone now and again.

It's hard to stay away from you guys though.

Thank you hydro. Breakfast sounds delightful. I can't remember the last time I made pancakes. Wow!

Have a great day.

Daily Update: Day 26 & 28

an exciting start to the afternoon. Worms!!!!!

The tillers of the no-till pots. I split the bag up four ways. We're at day 28 for everyone but DDA. All LOS plants got a second spraying with spinosad.

Auto Jack Herer

Med GOM 1.0

Fantasmo Express

The environmental monitoring for the auto tent.

Dark Devil Auto (Day 26)

The photo tent. The girls got a nice DeStress foliar earlier this morning.

Environmental monitoring for the photo tent.

I'm a happy gardener. It's good to get the worms added into the pots. I'm pretty sure that the community in the oldest pot may not have survived in entirety while I was on vacation, and that was bothering me. Now I'm better. LOL!

It was good to get a piece written and posted today. That writing is a major undertaking and it takes more out of me than I'd thought possible. I'm anxious to move into enhanced bioavailability next, but I think I need a day or two where I don't think in med speak. It's a beautiful day and I had the delight of riding through town with Dale's brother, a local bus driver. It's good to keep family connections and catch up, even if it means we have to do it like that. He's a good man. I'm lucky to be related to him.

Get out there and spread that joy people. Tonight I lighten my load to the tune of twenty large boxes. It's a very joyful day.

there's an escapee hiding behind your meter

 

[SweetSue]

Yeah, my worm wrangling skills leave something to be desired.

I had these leaves left over from my Ultimate Harvest. They've been sitting in a container, covered, just drying while I decided what to do with them.

I bought myself a yard of 110 thread silkscreen silk, wrapped the leaves up inside and whaled away at it with a screwdriver over a piece of parchment paper and go this:

Not a whole lot and I don't know what I'm going to do with it yet, but it's my first.

If you beat on them too hard or too long, you can break down the leaf until you get leaf through the screen.
If you have kief, it should press into a nice sticky ball of hash.
What to do with it? Drop it into a pipe - or better yet, an envelope addressed to Major PITA.

I'm pretty sure I was a bit too aggressive. I think I'll smoke some and see what it does. I may set it aside and use it in my brownies. I'm preparing to make my last batch until I harvest again. *sigh*

I couldn't use the Like button on this.

The stuff's pretty damned good. I'm going to decarb it and add it to this brownie batch. I expected it to taste like I was smoking leaves (we've all had those dark days ) and it doesn't at all. It's obviously not as potent in THC as buds would be, but in my recent studies I'm becoming more aware of the importance of all the other components. It's one of the reasons I choose to do my brownies with the bud material included, instead of making cannabutter and using that. I truly believe that I'm getting additional nutritional and medicinal benefit from eating the plant material itself and not just the resin. In the medical field they call this the "Entourage Effect", which simply means that the sum of the total is way more than the contributing individuals. Everything plays off something else to create tones and modalities that wouldn't exist if you were taking just one isolated component. You want the diversity.

Variety is the spice of life and I've decided to get as many cannabinoids and related components of cannabis into my system by as many different means as possible.

MagicJim, that was so sweet. Thank you my friend. I think during my extended down time I'll focus my energies on reading a couple reference books and writing. If I can get lost there I'll be able to ignore the deprivation. I've done this before. Very recently dagnabbit!

 

[SweetSue]

It took me 30 minutes to carry 17 boxes down those 40 steps. Not bad for 62. I'm feelin' pretty damned proud of myself right now. The link is my proof. The sweat started on the fifth climb back up. LOL! This is one of those days I'm really glad I'm Callanetics Strong.



I better stretch before I regret it. Hahaha!

Daily Update: Day 27 & 29

Time to get this posted. I spent the morning with a dear friend, getting our hair cut and going to lunch. Good time, and now I'm about a foot lighter in hair. I went in for a trim and decided to let myself evolve past aging hippy and go for vivacious older woman. LOL! Short is so much easier to maintain.

The girls are all coming along beautifully. Let's take a stroll, shall we?

The auto tent. We're at Day 29 now.

Fantasmo Express. She's laying out really nice for me. I'll play around with spreading them out for another week and then let them run free from there. Good strong stems on the plants this run.

Auto Jack Herer. She keeps pulling the wire out of the soil. I cut a longer piece of wire. The later picture shows her better restrained.

Med GOM 1.0. I'm looking at this one and looking at the others and thinking "next time train".

The photo tent. Also at Day 29. Just chugging along. These don't get drenched again until they start to droop. Nowhere near that right now.

CBD Critical Cure. Cajun tells me this one smells foul when it flowers and then cures to the strong smell of mango. Considering that mango is one of the chief sources for demethylation of the cannabinoid receptors that piqued my interest. Could it possibly be that this particular strain might assist in demethylation as a side benefit? That's a question for a serious research lab, but you must admit, it's and intriguing thought.

Critical Mass, just being quietly impressive.

The Dark Devil Auto is at Day 27 and shooting right up there. I raised the light panel some to get it about 2' above.

This is one beautiful specimen. So far it's the best DDA I've personally grown. This light is amazing!

I'm curious as to why my living mulch is struggling so hard to live? To be fair, I stripped everything out of here and put them into shock, so I guess they're not doing so bad, all things considered. They're still growing, so something positive is going on.

This one's for you arteekay. Last night before I went to bed I stripped off the two tiny growths that we all knew weren't going to amount to anything, so why waste the energy? I'm looking for colas, not popcorn.

After I got my hair all chopped off (feels sooooo wonderful and looks so sweet ) I came home to thirsty autos. The LOS pots never dry out. From this point on they get regular trenches twice a week, one of which is done to run-off.

Back into the tent. The Auto Jack Herer is sitting on a SWICK reservoir that I started yesterday. She got a gallon of drench. Since the SWICK is activated she'll probably only get about a half gallon in drench from now on because she'll be pulling her water needs from below. The same thing applies to the DDA, who sits on the other reservoir. The small bag that the Fantasmo Express sits in is a temporary one, so I don't want to bother with a SWICK for that one and the Med GOM 1.0 has the biochar, which holds water so well that I don't think I need to worry about a SWICK for that one yet. I can't find a reservoir that will work in this tight space, so it's good that pot has biochar.

What a beautiful plant!

We have some flowering activity starting up. All of the autos are now in early bloom. Clocks tickin'.

Ahhh.... Such a joy to come home to. Anybody else get excited when you open the front door? I head straight for the tents as soon as I drop my bags. LOL!

I hope your own day has held moments of wonder and joy. Spread it around and multiply it. Why keep it to yourself? I'll be seeing you around the yards. I got a new book to look over tonight.

I have a lot to learn.

Sorry guys, wrong thread.
