NIce harvesting Tra! Blueberry stones sound awesome!
Honeysuckle and oranges sound like BIC heaven too!

 

[BooWho2]

Hi @BooWho2

I harvested Bic today. And I took this for you. It’s my Blueberry. She still has white hairs. That’s what made me think she’s not ready. Her nugs are like fucking rocks!

Do you think harvest?

Morning Tra. Those white pistils are at the lower end of the plant and likely haven’t gotten as much light as the rest of the plant. I often have plants that are ready to harvest but keep throwing out little spurts of pistils. If she were mine I would harvest.

 

[Trala]

Lucky me...I get the debate

L O L L I N G !

OK, I'm not a doctor or a nurse (although, I did sleep at a Holiday Inn! ) so don't take anything I say as medical advice, but...

Seriously made me lol.

Statins work great at reducing cholesterol and, if you believe the drug companies and FDA (which is getting more and more difficult to do! ), the risks are low for serious side effects.

However, the brain is largely made up of fat tissue and, in my personal opinion, the spike in things like Alzheimer's and Dementia is directly linked to the increased use of statin medications.

I actually disagree. Medications are keeping people alive waaaay too long. Old Doug, who was an alcoholic from waaay back, who in his 60’s gets diagnosed with cardiovascular disease after a minor heart attack. This disease left to its own devices would have knocked him off at 70 - 75. Before his Korsakoff’s Dementia from his early years of alcohol abuse had time to take hold. But with treatment, he now gets to live to 90. His life past 75 involves attacking nurses, shitting his pants and being fed. He lives this misery for another 10 - 15 years in a lock up dementia ward.

Hyppocraties, the "Father of Modern Medicine" (Doctors take the "Hyppocratic Oath" to first do no harm, etc. in his honor, even if they don't honor their oath!) said, "Let thy food be thy medicine and thy medicine be thy food" and I take that to heart.

Omg me too. To a point. I fuck up often. Just last night smoking a scoob that I know causes lung distress while drinking red wine and torturing my liver lol.

I'm very into natural remedies and healthy foods, and especially staying away from putting chemicals in my body. I go to ridiculous lengths to avoid them including making almost everything I use or consume which is everything from my own laundry detergent to home-made ketchup & mustard to just about everything else.

I actually think that’s great. Climate friendly too. And I made the expensive piss comment, I have the most costly piss ever! Vit C Vit D echinacea garlic Thiamine glucosamine MSM LOLLLLLING

I almost never take medications, although, I wouldn't turn down an antibiotic if I needed one. Vaccines are a life-saving technology but, what we now put in vaccines as adjuvants and preservatives I'd never want in my body, and you can bet everything you hold dear that I would never inject myself with the current versions of MRNA vaxes.

I’m fully vaxed, but I respect rationale and choice.

I did get what I believe was Covid a couple of months ago which was the first time I've been sick with anything in years.

I work in a highly infectious environment, so my exposure to contagious disease is so much higher than yours. If I did something else for a living, I probably wouldn’t vax at the level I do right now.

I don't knock anyone who does things differently than I do (most people do!) and if what one is doing is working for them, it's a great thing. It's just not the way I do it!

Me either.

I think as long as you are trying to improve your health and circumstance you’re golden.

Well this is the most disappointing debate ever! I hope you’re better at [*EDITED BY ADMIN (me) Due to lewd and inappropriate content*]

 

[Trala]

Mimosa goes for the redemption win.

Love your pics, you make harvest seem like such a joy!

Thank you! I was so happy.

Mine tend to cause sticky fingers, frustration and deeper frown lines, reminiscent of early love

Omg don’t be so hard on yourself! I’m sure your cum sock thought you did just fine bruv.

NIce harvesting Tra! Blueberry stones sound awesome!

She smells AWESOME!

Morning Tra. Those white pistils are at the lower end of the plant and likely haven’t gotten as much light as the rest of the plant. I often have plants that are ready to harvest but keep throwing out little spurts of pistils. If she were mine I would harvest.

Thanks Boobird

She will be seeing the hairdresser today!

 

[Mr. Krip]

First, we need to deal with this...

When you said:

I hope you’re better at [*EDITED BY ADMIN (me) Due to lewd and inappropriate content*]

I think you forgot to add "...than you are at debating" to the end and I just want to clarify that it's not like you're suggesting I need improvement, right?

As for this:

I actually disagree. Medications are keeping people alive waaaay too long. Old Doug, who was an alcoholic from waaay back, who in his 60’s gets diagnosed with cardiovascular disease after a minor heart attack. This disease left to its own devices would have knocked him off at 70 - 75. Before his Korsakoff’s Dementia from his early years of alcohol abuse had time to take hold. But with treatment, he now gets to live to 90. His life past 75 involves attacking nurses, shitting his pants and being fed. He lives this misery for another 10 - 15 years in a lock up dementia ward.

Your story about Old Doug was truly riveting but not actual science. The truth is that the science is mixed on this, largely because of poorly designed tests that don't take into consideration other factors that contribute to Alzheimer's and Dementia.

There are some studies that conclude statins may actually lower the risk of AD & Dementia, other studies show an increased risk.

Here's a link to a good article from American Journal of Cardiology that discusses the discrepancies in the conflicting studies:

Statins and Your Memory: “Forget” About It? ∗

www.jacc.org

Note this:

Statin-associated changes in memory, however, have been inconsistent, as observational reports of both improvement and deterioration of memory emerged. Clearly, prevention of stroke can help with preservation of memory, and potential benefit in patients with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) was noted in observational studies. However, reports and observations of deterioration of memory and slowness in thinking also emerged.

And this:

On the basis of accumulated evidence, lipid lowering in the short term does not appear to result in improvement or deterioration of cognition irrespective of baseline LDL-C levels and medication used. The present study further provides additional information that the lipo- or hydrophilicity of the statin does not affect changes in cognition. However, the potential increased risk for AD, especially among patients with baseline cognitive impairment, requires further investigation.

This study in the Journal of Nuclear Medicine does show a correlation with lipophilic statins:

Lipophilic Statins in Subjects with Early Mild Cognitive Impairment: Associations with Conversion to Dementia and Decline in Posterior Cingulate Brain Metabolism in a Long-term Prospective Longitudinal Multi-Center Study

102 Objectives: Studies of the relationship between use of statins (HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors) and subsequent cognitive performance have been variously reported to demonstrate beneficial, harmful, or no significant effects. We aimed to help clarify the relationship between statin use and...

jnm.snmjournals.org

There conclusion was:

Conclusions: Among subjects with early mild cognitive impairment and low to moderate serum cholesterol levels at baseline, lipophilic statin use was associated with more than double the risk of converting to dementia over eight years of follow-up compared with statin non-use, and with highly significant decline in metabolism of posterior cingulate cortex -- the region of the brain known to decline the most significantly in the earliest stages of Alzheimer’s disease. In contrast, no such clinical or metabolic decline was found for users of other statins, nor statin users having higher baseline serum cholesterol levels.

And, if you recall I said this:

OK, I'm not a doctor or a nurse (although, I did sleep at a Holiday Inn! ) so don't take anything I say as medical advice

And this (emphasis added):

in my personal opinion, the spike in things like Alzheimer's and Dementia is directly linked to the increased use of statin medications.

So, we should be able to agree that the science is not yet settled on the link between statins and AD/Dementia which makes both of our opinions valid.

Look I’m gonna be honest.

The girls toilet wall at the 420 Mag Headquarters has something written on it. It’s about you. I think “needing improvement” is an understatement. If what is written is true, you need to overhaul your whole game plan.

But as far as your debate goes, I meant disappointing coz I agree with you lol.

As for this:

True dat, coz I made it up! There is no Doug, I was just speaking generally. My experience of working in a lock up dementia ward and the meds I had to crush and feed patients daily.

There are some studies that conclude statins may actually lower the risk of AD & Dementia, other studies show an increased risk.

And this (emphasis added):

And as I said, we can always find “studies” that support a chosen narrative. I tend to get my medical advice from various Medical Consultants. Mainly coz I’m surrounded by them daily. I know little. And knowing a little information can be a dangerous thing lolling.

So, we should be able to agree that the science is not yet settled on the link between statins and AD/Dementia which makes both of our opinions valid.

I’d agree on that.

Thanks for being apart of me starting my day thinking.

I heard about that and I think it's mistaken identity and not actually about me cuz' they said I had a "little dinghy" and I don't even own a boat!

LOLLING!

Okay this lazing about ain’t getting my Blueberry cut. Have a great night Krip. Xo

And friends, I apologise in advance for the selfie that’s gonna be coming. It’s like my harvest routine. I always add a selfie and it’s become another OCD habit to add to my zillion other pointless rituals. Just know I’m suffering too. I had a no hairbrush eyelashless day planned, and now I have to make a bit of effort. Sad part is my man will think it’s for him. Lolllll!

 

[Trala]

Omg I’m big smiling!



I just checked my big girls and my Zkittles Pee Bee had her first go under direct light. Her hands were up and drinking in that faux sun!

My little veggers are hopefully going to get a new addition. I’ve just taken a Wedding Cake Auto out of the IVF frost box.

Kk chop chop, shop shop, then drop drop time.

Hello and welcome to our Tent of Debauchery where profanities fly and reporting posts is banned. Lolling!

While I know fuck all about advice on growing really, I have somehow made friends with so many beautiful wisdom filled people. If you want advice on training or a really bad dad joke, there’s Carcass, you want advice on watering there’s Emilya, nutes and books there’s Hashgirl, growing under natural light, Jungle Joe and Stunger, you want auto advice there’s Boo and Deeboy, you want the best looking grow/bread making tips, Stone Otter, Barney’s Farm seeds Stinker, growing on a large scale and fire awareness Bill284, a list of the best midget porn sites you have DV8, health and growing - Mr Krip, pest problem solving 013, classy top shelf growers who journal like bosses there’s elBeardo (Melville) GainesvilleGreen, GreenFingers, LKABudman, 024backwards. Look there’s really too many for me to list. All I do know is if you put an @ before a name, they will magically appear!

This isn’t really a professional journal. It’s more about learning while lolling, and sometimes crying, but that’s usually just me, coz if you stick around you’ll see I’m all about the trama LOLLING!

 

[Trala]

BooWho2 says cut, I cut babe

Hey @Trala, good looking plants and just love that you're using the word spidermites and not nits anymore haha

What can I say?

I’ve gone corporate. You’ll find I run a professional journal now.

Just fucking with you!

I’m still as annoying as always!

So where you wheelie bin? I’ve missed you!

 

[Trala]

I’m officially trying to wake a new bee.

Haha.. I don't have enough time trying to journal and follow along to others. I'm trying out autos now for the first time and also trying living organic soil also for the first time.. Kinda nice not having to weigh out grams of Tega Brop anymore

 

[Trala]

I have seen such a difference in keeping the plants under lights in the later stage of flower. I should have listened sooner. These are without doubt the best buds I’ve produced yet. Like the Mimosa, they are proper 420 Mag worthy buds. I feel very proud. She won’t yield a lot, but you won’t need a lot. Lolling

This Coca-Cola is amazeballs! Chodes sure, but they are solid af.

Well I miss you

Omg I’m loving autos. Mine tend to be small in stature and yield, but the bud is 5 star bud.

I harvest, then plant another. I tend to have two on the go. Well that’s my aim lolling.

 

[Trala]

So I’ve got nit busy! (Sorry @Renaissance Man lolling!)

I’ve cleaned out both grow areas and surface sprayed. This menagerie of misfits will get a Neem/Safers dousing before bed.

I’m down to 5 and no full flowering plants. I’m not sure how to feel about it too! Not even joking! I’m leaning towards sad. Lollllling <—- #BiPolarBear4LIFE
