Where ya been?

I been around. :laughtwo:
Some of you may have seen a few of my posts online, but there no place like home.

Had a major fail growing during one of the worst and brutal heat summers.
I had lost to the heat and wanted to shut it down.
My 12 remaining ladies in veg looked like I felt....Depressed. Clinically.

I had lost the mojo and felt depressed.
My personal life was reflective of how my ladies looked.
This cycle lasted for many weeks into the summer.
I needed to hit the reset button but...how.

Shiggity Flip a friend in need...

Shiggity reached out to me one morning.
He was concerned I would quit and gave me many many things positive to focus on.
I wont provide details but lets say that's exactly what I needed to hear.
Over the course of our chats I started to spend more time in the grow room.

The weather did eventually break and my spirits improved with the weather.
Somehow I managed to keep them alive but just barely.
They recovered enough to take clones.
These clones are what we are working with for this grow.

Lets get growing shall we?

This is my veg tent.
These 22 clones were moved from Solos to 1 gal softies a couple of days before these pics.
These ladies are Pyramid Tut, Inhouse Platinum Gorilla and CSI Humboldt The Purple D.

Here in week 3 I added 5 seedlings to the clones for a total of 22.
They are just tall enuf for topping and LST.

Here is one of the Tut clones about ten days later.
All were topped and LST'd at 12 inches tall.
I used plant staples to spread her out.

So, that was a mouthful.:rofl:
I almost forgot how to arrange the recap in a manner that make sense. :)
It's good to get back to growing...with a little help from the gang. ;)
Peace and green blessings.
 
Whats crackin Nis? :passitleft:
Got a lot of catch to do all around but its always good to see ya.
Tell Canna I said hi.

Welcome back Stage. Looking good brother

:passitleft:
 
High Duggan,
Tanks mane. A Shiggity suggestion.
Top of the day to ya Stage...Great to see ya back. Love the strains you picked to share with us all. Great stuff bud! cheers eh!:passitleft:
 
Hahaha!! For sure H00k.
I can dig it. :)
Good to see ya ! ;)
"Just when Ya' think its safe to get out...They pull Ya back in"...Sylvio from the Sopranos...Great to see Ya back in the game Stage!...:thumb:...cheerz...h00k...:hookah:
 
High there!
Thank you for the warm welcome.
I have run the Inhouse gear before and its legit.
Anything grossed with the GG4 in their line is a serious hash / resin producer.
The CSI Purple D gear I havent run before.
The Tut is in the same heavy hitting neighborhood.:thumb:

Nice to see you around Stage! I am glad I am able to get in on the start of one of your Journals. I have some In House gear going along with some CSI gear as well. None of them have been flowered yet but the closest one to being ready is my Mendo Purple Urkle from CSI. I look forward to seeing how you make out with these ladies :thumb:
 
Word? Mann.....:thedoubletake:
I have two GG4 crosses that are seedlings but they are Show and Tells from Annunaki. They are his Huck Soda crossed to GG4. From what Annunaki says they are better structured GG4s that have a tendency to turn pink!
 
There you are. :yahoo:

Here I am. :kisstwo:

Damn! It's good to have you back. :hug::hug::hug: OK, let me back up and read your intro. :laughtwo:
 
All caught up. 12 Timber Crees...... :thedoubletake: I love the way you think mister. :laughtwo:

When you get settled in we need to talk about the depression and some administration protocols that may put it in its right place, which is in the realm of ancient history.

Save me the research time, and tell me please what are the CBD:THC ratios of what you're growing? I'm hoping at least one chemovar is high CBD, at least a 2:1 ratio. My patient experience supports this as being the starting point for treating depression with something more than symptom control.

You touch my life in profound ways. Your encouragement has been instrumental in helping me become the cultivator others look to for inspiration, and they don't even know it's because of you that I kept going when it felt too overwhelming. Medical cannabis is my passion. Let me be your resource to helping you overcome this depression once and for all. I'm here. Use me. :hug:
 
High Sue,
I will do my homework and provide you with the THC / CBD ratios for the strains I'm running.
I'm pretty certain that none are 2:1 ratios. :)
I have been using 99% CBD crystal distillate once a day in the morning.
Looks sketchey I know but its official!

Well..... that's just wonderful to hear. :bravo: You may not feel the effects of what CBD is doing to help your ECS get back to balance, but you just keep taking it. :battingeyelashes: I'm not a fan of isolates used in isolation, but I know you have a good supply of THC to compliment it. The major cannabinoids are best used in partnership. See if you can work up a 2:1 dose using what you have available.

Smoking is symptom control. Capsules are active healing. You know where I'm headed with that. :battingeyelashes: :love:
