PCP was what it was laced with. I assume. Never wanted to try PCP. Some people I know sought out the mix.
I try to adjust the settings on my way back machine, but sometimes it's fuzzy
Ah haa, well it looks stoney as hell
This strain has spoiled me rotten. It's gonna be a toss up all along the line - spiritually motivating and just plain fun Carnival or zippy and speedy and a barrel of laughs Dark Devil Auto. SweetSue is one spoiled child, and oh so glad to be able to say so. 
Sue......Im glad you're on the mend my friend. Winter has officiallay re-arrived here. I want spring. I think Im gonna find a spot rounds these parts I can grow a couple plants.
Right now I have breakfast to tend to. The probiotic was something I was supposed to start over a week ago anyway. This might be the way the cosmos choose to get through to hardheaded me that the time to start was NOW!!! Sometimes I insist on choosing the path with more resistance than is called for. That's why I surround myself with all these cosmic forces. That way I squeek through and come out ahead in the end. Lol! 
I won't be doing anything other than cull overactive leaf communities. 
We've hit 550 pages on the previous journal, more than enough reason to start anew. I'll try to keep the additions to between 300-400 pages from now on. We do enjoy each other's company, don't we?
I'm transitioning the entire grow over to Doc Bud's High BrixBlend kit, which most of us affectionately refer to as "the kit", to keep anyone from being confused. I've been growing in Doc's kit for coming up on two years now..... Wow! That caught me off guard. I'm not all that good at it yet, but this year I have a renewed focus on growing the best, most trichome-laden girls I can because I intend to begin making the Naturally Decarbed SAP oil the Grow Goddess has developed. I'm feeling certain this may be some of the best CCO one could produce on your own.
I'll be using four spaces:
- 2 Mars-Hydro 2x2 tents for flowering
- the tiny closet for Dark Devil Autos
- a 4' x 13" metal shelf for veg
At the moment there's an Advanced DS XML 350 in one of the 2x2 tents and a Budmaster II G.O.D. panel over the other tent. The tiny closet is covered by a Timber Lights Vero 240 and the veg shelf is being served by two Mars-Hydro panels, a 3x100 and a 5x60.
I'm waiting on a special shipment from Timber Lights. They're fabricating a group of lights to cover all of the grow spaces and be more in keeping with my fluid growing style. A lot of excitement over this development, which frees up a lot of lights to find their way into other grows.
So what's growing, and what do I have planned for the upcoming year? I still have one plant in LOS, The Candy Cane in flower now. She'll be finishing up sometime in the next month.
To keep myself from getting crazy and messing with the kit plants as I try to gain better mastery of the system I'll be keeping a hempy pot going off to the side. It's my opportunity to learn bottled nutes and just plain have fun.
Carn1:4, a clone of the more indica-trending Carnival, is due to come down by the weekend. She's overrun with mites or she'd get a couple more weeks.
The tiny closet is currently home to a CBD Critical Cure, my second attempt with this strain, and the clone I made from the top I clipped off her last month. She's 71 days old and itching to get into that flowering tent.
These will be the replacement in that space. Two Dark Devil Auto seeds secured from the stock created by Rifleman. I need to see what these seeds are capable of.
I'll be focusing on Carnival most of the year, learning to grow consistent yields and potency. The grow, for the most part will be a steady supply of Carnival, Dark Devil Auto and CBD Critical Cure. I've pretty much figured out what works for myself and my daughter. I'm sure other plants will find their way in. I have some Jamaican seeds to get to and Canna and Nis gifted me some Devil's Carnival seeds of their own making. How do I pass up the opportunity to try a cross of my two favorite strains?
The shelves will be moved into the living room, since they'll be veg only and I won't need the LED panels for that. I can start with CFLs and reflectors.
I'll be installing an RO system ASAP. Need to get it ordered.
It'll be nice to get the space in my bathroom back.
My goals for this grow are the same as they've always been, keep me high on Carnival or Dark Devil Auto and keep myself and my daughter supplied with capsules made with a good CBD strain having at least a balanced ratio.
I believe that's all the pertinent information. Let me open the door and welcome you all.
I assure you, it is.
There you go, the true spirit of late winter rolling into spring. "Where, oh where can I plant these girls where no one will molest them?" Best of luck. I wish I had access to remote lands. Alas, I'm a city mouse in a concrete jungle. True, Pittsburgh has more than its share of riverbanks that can't be utilized for housing and so we have a much larger percentage of trees than a typical city our size, but as for places I could garden outside..... not a chance. Grow a big one Scottay.
Yeah, but what was the take on that plant? I think you made the right choice. I've only been topping once. I'll rethink that with this next Carnival. She'll have an entire tent to herself.
I'll stop by and catch up. I'm doing much better myself today. The gut's rumbling away, likely from the antibiotic, so I better get a good probiotic and some kombucha today while I'm out shipping packages some of you are waiting for.
Good morning everyone.
I got my first good night's sleep since this confusion started. That'll make all the difference in the world. Now to get the gut settled. Never a dull moment.
Time for a good breakfast and work on my update, which I hope to get up before I head out to do the shipping.
MrGreene, you should be up to the 50 posts soon, if not already. Let me know if you're still interested in the light panels, because if not Hash Hound and his grow bud are eyeing them, and he's right down the road from me. You still retain first rights to them.
I'll catch up to you all later. Get out there and spread that joy now. Isn't that the most fun??
Why thank you cannaruss. It smelled amazing jarring up the dry and washing the new. The plants grown in Doc's soil have a distinctive smell that quite frankly makes my mouth water.
Thanks Ditch. Almost caught up.
How sweet of you to think of me.
It's nuts! I woke up this morning and opened all the windows. This might be a good day to take the Candy Cane out on the balcony and spray the hell out of the leaves with some spinosad.
Mine's been complaining ever since I came home. As humid as this valley can get its no match for the island.
I'm looking forward to watching it all come together too Beavis. I'll breathe easier once the lights arrive.
Good morning everyone.
Nothing like a stroll past a new harvest to brighten the morning.
A little size perspective.
Sticky as hell and smelling unbelievably tasty.
That idea makes me crazy happy.
Time for some breakfast and the second half of my breakfast brownie. I went back to having them back-to-back. Stretching the harvest is a commendable goal if I'm running short, but I don't plan to ever be in that space again and I personally love the over-the-edge feeling of being slightly too high. Lol!
Still have that order for the rainforest site to get together too. Keep forgetting about that. I have most of the plates spinning, just some auxiliary projects to get balanced, and then I should be able to relax back a little and return to the writing. My muse has been blissfully silent while I get back into the swing of things. Just a couple more days at top speed and it slows to a gentle pace and stays here for a bit.
Joy my friends. Let it bubble from within and flavor all the precious moments of your new day. Share it far and wide and find yourself with an excess when you lay the head down at day's end. Nice how that works, eh? Glad to have you along for the joyful journey.
You can make tinctures with it too. It's a great machine, and every serious canna kitchen should have one. They always give me a code to share with others that saves you $25 on shipping. I'll see if I can find the latest one.
I checked the bags and there's no mention of slow-raise. I'd ask Shawn directly. I'm sure he'd know.
Thank you for sharing that link. One of our better threads IMO.
Then Lu shall have her mustard.
You're too sweet.
I'll stop by. Have you checked out the DDA thread? There're growers using any number of growing methods, and nutrients are a part of many of those grows. Mine grew in either Doc's soil or LOS, with my one hempy experiment, but I had no idea what I was doing. Kraise had the most spectacular plant to date, with the sap oozing all over.
They're pretty hardy plants. Even when you screw up they still kick your butt when you get to smoking them.
I'm not much of a mustard fan myself, and I seem to have given up cooking since Dale's passing, so if you're interested I still have another bottle to redistribute. You know how to find me.
Oh, if you're interested in the mustard I can include a piece of tumeric root I was given while in Jamaica. I have no need for it myself and it's still fresh enough you could probably plant it. Let me know.
Good morning everyone
Kind of a strange day..... last evening the lymph node behind my right ear decided to swell and the right side of my face went along for the ride. I've an appointment with my nurse practitioner, since the daughter is concerned that I recently visited another country. No telling what I'm dealing with, except that the pressure it's putting on my nerve complexes is keeping me in a constant state of nausea. Not as much fun as it sounds.
Brownies are out of the question with the nausea, and the Vapor Tower doesn't hit the pain. Curious how that works for me, but the bong hits it fast and hard. I find that disconcerting, considering how the medical field is pushing vaporizers over combustion, when obviously combustion has an effectiveness rate beyond the capacity of vaporizers. Anyone else finding this to be true? A couple hits off the bong and I'm good for at least an hour of reduced pain and controllable nausea. I don't get the same relief from any of my many vaporizers.
Never a dull moment around here. Lol! In gardening news I've finally given up on the clone I took from Emerald before she got flipped. I mismanaged this one for too long. Not dipping it in rooting hormone at the beginning is a sure shot to failure.
TOAST still rocks as the king of cloning in my book. I need to pay closer attention to what I'm doing.
Planted my last Carnival seed yesterday. I have more on the way.
I'm gonna do another couple hits and follow with a warm poultice. This is the second time in a month I've been out of sorts. I don't like that.
