Grow Journal - Day 42 of Flower!

We're at day 42..in three more weeks, they should all be about done. Then the rest of the work begins with trimming, hanging, drying and processing everything into meds. The last thing anyone really needs is for Big Pharma to get involved in cannabis but it's clear that they ultimately will. Legalization will happen throughout the country when they are ready for it, and not a moment before. That's why our government has various patents on cannabis compounds. It's never about what's best or what's honest, or what's respectful. It's never about people..only profits. Now they see that legalization is happening in the states, whether medical or otherwise, they're jumping on the bandwagon. But here's the deal, we're all on to them. We've sat by, watching our friends go to prison, while they continue to lie and ruin lives with draconian laws based on profit motive instead of science. We've sat by, watching patients who follow state law to the letter be tried and convicted of doing just that. And the fact that they're patients who are following state law isn't admitted into court, so the jury may not have all the facts before them when deciding the case. 

We become patients because we either don't like the drugs our doctors give us, or we've run out of options. That's what happened in my case. I ran out of options. So I decided to become a patient and see if cannabis could help me. And it did. It did everything the drugs weren't doing. I don't blame any of my doctors..they're only doing what they're trained to do. Few think outside the box because too much is at risk. Now that the DEA is contacting doctors in one state and threatening their DEA license if they have anything to do with legal medical cannabis, maybe we've reached a breaking point. The House has passed a bill that prevents the DEA from involvement with cannabis states as long as state law is being followed. The Senate will no doubt do the same because they're tired of the DEA's antics as well. Doing at least that would take the pressure off. Maybe then we can continue the conversation that began with Sanjay Gupta's and others' documentaries. We not only CAN talk about cannabis..we MUST talk about cannabis. The truth is coming out. Better to get in front of it than to be left behind in the dust.

Sorry for the rant..and here are the ladies!

The resin production is very noticeable now. Dominator XL LED lights are the reason for that as well as the addition of Sucanat in the water. I do have to say, though, Galactic Jack looks amazing. As always, the seeds are from TGA Genetics Subcool Seeds. Subcool and MizJill have created some really nice strains for patients. Their care and attention to detail is uncompromising. For folks like me, their devotion to this craft is beyond appreciated. I wouldn't be here without them.

Grow Journal - Day 35 in Flower!

I am so happy with the progress of the plants. All new strains this time and we couldn't be more excited to see how they finish out. We have another month or so in flower, and then harvest time! Making oil out of most of the last harvest, so with this one, I may focus on replenishing my tincture. And I must say, SubCool has hit it out of the park with Cuvee'. It has the most beautiful buds I've ever seen..so soft and feminine..it's amazing! 

The pictures are a comparison between days 25 and 35. And now for the ladies:

All in all, I couldn't be more pleased with how the plants are growing. LED lighting is surely the wave of the future. But the price needs to come down, which it will. Or not. In any event, SubCool and MizJill from TGA Genetics Subcool Seeds need some praise here for their diligent and tireless efforts on behalf of patients. MizJill just lost a childhood friend to ALS. Brian's loss to the medical cannabis community will be felt by many. Below is a picture of Brian along with MizJill and some friends at a meet and greet at Mid Valley Patient Resource Center in Salem, Oregon. He was loved by many and will be missed so very much..Bless him as he returns home in peace and love.

Grow Journal - Day 25 of Flower

Everything is growing so well under LED lighting. I don't regret buying them. Both Honeymoon Mix and 9lb Hammer are almost as tall as I am. And we had to raise the lights again. We continue to water with Sucanat because they seem to love that. You can buy it in the sugar section of your local grocery store. I highly recommend it. We watered the vegetables out in the greenhouse with Sucanat and we could see immediate results on the tomato plants as well as the watermelon plants. Very cool indeed!

Bud structure continues to develop well under the Dominators. I couldn't be happier with the progress. We added Super Soil on top for more nutrients to finish out flowering. All we water with is Sucanat and some B-1. We make the Super Soil, and at some point, we'll start using the worm castings from our worm farm in the blend. Not to mention some worm casting tea! And as always, a shout-out of gratitude to SubCool and MizJill at TGA Genetics. Their seeds are awesome and I wouldn't be as well as I am without them!

It's a Lush life!

Grow Journal - Day 15 of Flower

Fifteen days into flower..the ladies look divine! LED lighting certainly agrees with them. , We're continuing to water with Sucanat, B1, Silica Blast, and Liquid Karma. The Sucanat is the coolest thing though..stimulates all kinds of microbial growth. Best thing we ever added. Supercharges the microbes..like giving them a big dish of ice cream! The smallest buds are on Dr. Who..maybe it's the placement in the room. I've never grown Dr. Who before, so maybe it's like Jack The Ripper, and it grows more slowly.

And now for the ladies!

Two weeks into bud development..not bad at all. And I swear to Goddess these plants are almost as tall as me..


One more thing..the worms are doing really well. We've added all the trays now and the bottom tray is just about to be ready with worm castings. Then I can make tea!
