Crownpoodle's 4x4

What’s Cali cold? But if it’s a messy day edibles a blanket and a good movie make for a nice indoor day!

I completely understand insomnia issues, I’ve had them for manyl years, smoking helps a bit but edibles or tinctures seem to give me the best relief

I appreciate the nod @SHSC-1 and @TopShelfTrees1 . If anyone knows where I started, you do. @shag too.
I will not dispute I can grow some good frigging weed. But I have some weak spots. Seed to out of Solos, I am inconsistent at best. Diagnosing deficiencies, getting better but I don’t spot the early telltale signs so I can correct them quickly. Cloning and seed making. Nope.I intend to address both as the basics of growing become second nature, I’ll have brain cells to learn new tricks. I’m studying you guys.
Running the testers is a good way for me to become a better grower. At the same time it allows me in a small way to contribute to the quality and variety of strains @jaws can release, if he chooses. To us here in OG. To the cannabis community in general.
I came to the boards to get some questions answered, learn to grow better weed. Never. Ever. Did I imagine having friends like I do now, in otha countries no less. Especially at this point in my life. The last couple years, 2023, in particular, have not been easy. You all help.
Thanks. CP

And im glad you came when you did, have became a true brother and great friend who I truly think of every single day, many times. And im glad im able to help in ANY WAY. Thats what friends are for, to pick us up in times of need and to enjoy the good times and successes with. Im looking forward to many many more years of both and a ton of killer genetics and great smoke! You guys do the same for me without a doubt, have helped me more times than I can count especially with my messed up head and mental turmoil

Pretty cool, what we got here. I would guess there are tons of similar relationships here. Guys who clicked for whatever reason. I’d like to think so. Worse ways to spend time.

No question, and I agree. Changed my outlook amon a lot of things too. Honestly before I came online officcially I was getting to the just screw people point cuz they all just wanted something or to screw me over. Then I met you guys at the lab…. And a month or two later I was blown away and couldn’t get enough. I wish TJ was over here. You are an amazing person brother, as real as they come . Thanks for always being there and always being real.

Chopped 2 Dawgs of War @60 days. They both had enough amber for me. Just a field strip and hanging. 2 left. Congested, do not much for smells. The missus knew I had brought something different in. This made room for my 5 White Lemon Larry testers. I really like how they look going into flower. They’ll get the lowers all off in 7-10 days. My Cherry Hi-C’s all went into 3s. They look a little weak right now, we’ll fix that shortly.

Bottom shot is new 4x4. There’s 2 Black Tuna. One Triangle Pupil. Plus 5 White Lemon Larry testers. The BTs and TP are a bit ahead. I think this be sufficient to fill the space.

You think of much you can do going forward? Fans. Do I need both, or even one fan going for small plants? No. Small plants, I’ll run a small fan. Move 'em a little. I cut my lights on by 30 in the veg, and 45 for flowering too. Might help a little

I’m going to see if it’s the same a second month before doing anything wild but I run, like, 1300w when everything’s running on high lol so my bill shouldn’t be close to $400. But I’ll see what my next bill is and then just cry a little and buy candles. Realistically not sure what I can cut down on really. I could get a better fan instead of running two, could probably upgrade my carbon filter but that wouldn’t save me too much energy. I’m scratching my head a bit on it. I could probably get by putting my veg light at 25% but I don’t really want to

I’m getting used to the morning fuzz. Sleep has been rough, I stay dumbed down and doze when I can. I’ve found when I spark my 1st one in the morning, it seems to really light the edibles back up. OK.

I have never really tolerated edibles well but my og secret santa gifted me a container of 25mg rosin gummies. I have been taking one of those at bed time lately as otherwise I am not getting good sleep and wake up with weak and tired feeling legs and aching pelvis… probably because I am weaning off the gabapentin. Now I gotta find a good gummie recipe so i can make my own for when these run out.

They’ve become a primary food group here. The missus prefers the Rice Crispie bars I make. I like the Snickerdoodles myself. Sooo good!
Same coconut oil base is also used for lotion for my wife’s poor arthritic hands. She lotions them up, the puts cotton gloves on to avoid transfer to the sheets.
I would grow to make lotion for her if we quit smoking. It makes a huge difference in the quality of life she has. Can’t be measured the difference it makes.

Morning guys! @crownpoodle when you make lotion does it have to be kept in the fridge? Also do you have to add a lot of stuff to it? Never heard of making lotion but that sounds very interesting.

my secret santa also sent me a container of “THC Dream Cream”
I’m not exactly sure the composition but it appears to be shelf stable.
I treat a small spot on my ear lobe that could be skin cancer (grandpa had it) and other spots over the years I usually treat with oil but when I got this dream cream at christmas, I started using that on my ear lobe… the results are really quite amazing. Usually I can feel the the spot on my ear but now it’s getting harder to locate it. I use the dream cream twice a day and will keep using it. Never thought of rubbing it on the finger joints but I might try that.
