In the short time I've been looking into essential oils and thinking about using them in the topicals that I want to make, I realized that essential oils, like many things found in nature are not always benign. I want to help myself and others, without doing any inadvertent harm in the process...

My thought process is concerning activating those CB2 receptors beneath the epidural layer. I'm not even considering the bloodstream with topical use. I'm wanting to get the most out of a topical as possible. If the THC isn't binding effectively to the CB2 receptors, I would hope that we could...

So you're saying to use cold pressed carrot seed oil? My impression is that a lot of the available carrot seed oil is carrot șeed essential oil in a carrier. Probably a good thing to specify, as I've found mention of photosensitivity, phototoxicity, and cytotoxicity from carrot seed essential oil.

As it turned out, yes. It was my initial belief that they would be repelled, but it became pretty apparent from the leaf damage on the marigolds that they had become the secondary food source. The pansies that I had for beneficial attraction were left alone by the leaf hoppers.

Thanks jdeck. I ended up down this rabbit hole through an organic thread I found. I have to say, the amount of info and the tone of this site is excellent. I wish I would have found it earlier. As far as autoflowers go, I have some freebies I got that I'm going to try out this coming year...

I used marigolds this year to try to help in a battle against leaf hoppers. The lesson I learned is to spray the marigolds at the same time you spray your plants. Without that I was just providing them a 4 star bed and breakfast rather than a 5 star. They moved right back in when they could...

MI area: Ann Arbor area Grow set up: Greenhouse Grow medium: soil, organic Favorite strain: Sour Diesel Favorite edible: Bacon Favorite team/sport/university: Meh U Hobbies: Organic farming, gaming, attempting to not live in constant pain. Hi mitten and fish people! I hope everyone has had an...

Thanks Amy! Please don't go looking on my account. I tend to believe that information as well. My frustration stems from the fact that about 50% of the sources say that, and 50% say they're isn't any interaction between THC and CB2 receptors. The topicals I want to make are for family and...

Well, I wouldn't say that I enjoy it. What I do enjoy is that finally we are getting information based on reality, rather than rumor and conjecture. Don't get me wrong, the citizen scientists are all we've had to rely on, and my appreciation runs deep for them, but I've been waiting 37 years for...

Also don't know if you read this study Sue, but there's a some interesting β‐caryophyllene info. Phytocannabinoids beyond the Cannabis plant – do they exist?

Hi Sue, I've been doing research on the safety aspects of various essential oils to hopefully add some bonus medical value into our topical recipes and am getting ready to do a series of posts on it. Carrot oil is one that stuck in my head, so I checked again real quick. Some sources claim that...

We have very similar targets. I've also got a friend with fibromyalgia that I would like to help. The learning process isn't easy as there seems to be a lot of contradictory information out there. I'm new at this, but one thing I have seen pretty across the board is that medium chain...

HI Magnus. I can't afford the equipment to grow indoors, so have to make do outdoors. I also have a spine injury, haven't been able to work in five years, and have been denied all assistance, so I feel you on the money front. I'm on the 43rd parallel, and through some cheap season extension...

Thanks for finding this. I hate information paywalls. There is some pretty interesting information in this study. The gist of it being that beta-caryophyllene (BCP) seems to bind to the CB2 receptors. (THC binds to the CB1 receptors.) So it's very possible that using varieties that have a...

Ball releases a new colored canning jar as part of a collection each year. This year they are amber, which with its uv filtering is great for storing weed. They've gotten really difficult to find now, here in my legal state, but I was still able to find enough for my needs online. I hang dry...
