This is Chapter Two of my grow journal, which began last year with "Off-Grid Spring-Fed Hillbilly CBD Greenhouse".
This year's grow will be in vegetable garden soil but I'm not yet ready to go from pots to soil so I'll post details of amendments and preparation later, once the plants are ready to go into the ground.
To review: I'm just south of the border with Canada, close to Mount Baker, deep in the forest. I have a 15 plant permit. The plants this year are 4 Critical Mass and 5 Jack Herrer from a commercial clone farm. I also have clones I've taken myself from these commercial clones, not because I need more plants but as an exercise in learning to clone.
Another new twist: 3 plants from seed, "Grampa's Medicine". I got these tiny plants from a neighbor my age (76) who has been growing since the late 60's. He suffered serious nerve damage during the Viet Nam war, began smoking pot as a DIY med, and has grown his own using this same seed for well over 40 years. (Does this make his seed "landrace"?). I'm not sure where he got the seed but I hope to find out.
We use the Critical Mass to make topical and edible oil for pain but I have found that I need a stronger med for my seriously arthritic shoulder and PTSD. That is why I'm growing the Jack Herrer -- I have never actually tried Jack but based on the reviews it sounds hopeful for my needs.
So... here we go again!
