Vetsmoke's Micro Growing Shenanigans

Few shots of the girls just as lights went off. Jess is 4 weeks old and rather underwhelming in size. Still cool though. Little Red is on day 7. Nice and green but again a bit slow and new growth is a little funky. See how that plays out. Jess seems to be drying her pot out a little quicker now which is good so I will probably give another feed at the end of today and I'll bump the nutrients up slightly.

I always find seedlings are a pain in the ass, like haha a lot similar to a baby, constant worrying and work haha I think in the seedling stage it’s just about getting them through it, and than they flourish

Yup I've been having my own seedling dramas too. Lol

Congrats on that NL btw! 14 weeks :eek:

regular stuff makes me feel quite anxious recently as I've had some health issues but adding some CBD keeps it nice and mellow. I've cut back from smoking every night to once or twice a week and found that's enough for me right now.

Been loving having some CBD oil around. Really nice stuff. Definitely great in combination with regular flower.

I reckon your seedling is looking happy otherwise and will sort itself out :thumb:

I think that’s the thing bro, I think you have to control your intake if your using it as a medicine, Sort of like microdosing, you probably can smoke one day get the effects of the medicine which could maybe Last you for two days then again take your medicine if that makes sense- I don’t use it for medicinal purposes and I only smokeevery Friday as like a treat/break and I only have .5 of a gram - you can abuse cannabis just like anything else

I feel for you tho bro and think that’s the correct decision

Yeah definitely mate. Mentally I'm in a much better place now so don't rely on it to help me as much. Mainly just enjoy a smoke rather than a drink at the weekend. It's weird though as before I could smoke as much as I wanted and be fine but then I had one of these funny turns with my health (Still not diagnosed) and bam I could barely handle a small pinch in the bowl. Would make me feel awful. Got to have some more blood tests and waiting on a neurology appointment still. Taking so long right now.

Yeah I've found it works really nicely. I got some high CBD hemp flower that I mix in with a bit of regular. Lovely with the Northern Lights but I don't have much of that left so I'm rationing that one :laugh:. Yeah she'll come good I'm sure. :Namaste:

Too right. I'm hoping it changes within my lifetime. What annoys me the most is that the country I live in is the world's largest exporter of medical cannabis. Well it was last time I read a year back. How hypocritical can you get?

That’s as hypocritical as the US holding patents for medical cannabis, but still has it listed as a Schedule 1 drug, meaning no valid medical use. Our illusion of freedom is fading fast, all over the world.

Bonkers isn't it. Also add to that the definition of a schedule 1 drug, which things like cannabis and psilocybin meet in no way.

I think over the long term for your health/mental health that more control will make you feel better, and that sucks mate I hope you hear back soon from them and there’s nothing to worry about - when I was a lot younger I didn’t feel the side effects of bud , don’t know if it’s stronger or what but I know know even if I have had one toke

Without a doubt mate. It's helped me get to where I needed to be and now it's there when I need it but I don't rely on it, and don't need it as often. Mushrooms played a big part in learning to manage my thoughts and feelings too. Fingers crossed they figure it out soon. I haven't dropped dead yet so that's a good sign I guess :rofl: Had a few moments this year where I thought the lights might go out.
 
It sounds rough mate I obviously don’t want to get to personal and ask why, but I really hope you get things worked out. Just keep believing that it will and being positive. Being stressed is the worst thing for your body and mind as it raises your cortisol hormone which then causes inflammation just a vicious circle, I know it’s hard when your in that certain situation. My friend does micro dosing with mushrooms 0.3 capsule every third day and he’s a different person mate, don’t know if that is something to look into

It's fine mate. Basically I had what they diagnosed as an aura migraine but straight after it I got chest pains, difficulty breathing, rapid heart rate, sweaty palms and feet. These symptoms have been on and off for months now. Last 'attack' was awful. Had all the above plus an irregular heartbeat, high blood pressure, change in pressure in my head, numbness in my face and tingling lips, couldn't get warm. Lasted about 2 hours and thought I was going man down. Regularly have tingling in my finger tips too. Pretty much sucks but the last few weeks I've been okay. Had optic neuritis 6 years ago and had all the tests for MS but came back clear. Think they want to check those things again. Had a 24hr ECG that came back normal but I felt fine the whole time I was wearing it. It's weird. Yeah I've got a ton of 0.25g capsules I made myself. Grew some treasure coast during my time away from here. Need to try taking those but the way my body has reacted to weed a few times recently makes me cautious.
 
Oh and they said they think it was an aura migraine. I didn't get any pain in my head at all but all of a sudden I just couldn't focus on anything like I was pissed out my head and got what I can only explain as what looked like fork lightning in my peripheral vision. That's happened a couple of times now. Something isn't right.

Didn’t you have some abnormal leaves on the big sister
Click to expand...
Just realised you were absolutely correct :laugh: She had one that started off a bit funky. I'm losing it. Last week I made some lunch and then the Mrs opened up the fridge and asked me why there was a loaf of bread in there:rofl:
 
Oldest sister just had a good feed. 1 litre with 1.5ml Grow, 1.5ml Bloom, 1ml Topmax, & 1ml seaweed extract. That ratio needed no ph adjustment which was nice. Hope she likes it.

Yep, that's an aura migraine. I get them all the time. The visual starts out tiny and central and gradually gets bigger and moves peripheral. They suck. I can go months without and then at times I'll get a few in a month. Headache usually starts a while after the lightning starts. The first few times I got them I had no headache, but now I do.

I feel for you mate. They're really annoying.
 
Opinions on this would be great. The leaves look lighter green under these lights but you can see the pale patches on the leaves, more prominent on the older ones. Do I get some calmag now and start with that, or give it a few more days now her nutrients have been increased?

Also here's a better pic showing the curled and twisted leaves on Red 2.

How far off is the next feed?

For what it's worth, I've been able to stick to the low end of the recommended dosage of CalMag this whole grow. And if you start with a low dose, it would lower the risk.

Well she was only fed yesterday so I'd estimate another 3 days. I know in soil it can take a little longer than hydro to see the results of any adjustments. I've never needed calmag before and don't have any right now. Trying to avoid buying stuff I don't need but may just bite the bullet and order some in. Try a low dose as you say.
