Cannabis, pool and life

I played this morning on my table in my basement. And my game has dwindled a bit. But I think it's due to the healing process I'm going through now. I'm still adjusting to life with-out weed. So I guess I cannot post viable comparitive results till the crap is completely outta my system.

Thanks to everyone that did post positive feedback. I guess I would shun this thread too as many others have while I was still smoking weed. I'm not saying what I'm going through will be the same result with someone else. But it is very possible. I know I'm not physically addicted and have no urge to smoke. But when you alter your brain chemistry (saratonin and dopamene levels) for so long and then just stop don't be surprised if shit just goes haywire.

Thanks again everyone :-)

I support your decision. Best of luck to you. I'm sure things will get better soon. Hang in there.

Ken,
I'm also interested in knowing if you're inclined to practice less or more, since you're keeping a log. :smile:
 
JoeyA,

I will indeed keep you and everyone posted in this regard. I'm also very interested in seeing wheather or not it actually improved my game. It certainly did not improve my life overall.

I'm glad you have a positive outlook on it. I'm glad that you anxiety is lessening. Using a prescription drug to relieve the anxiety you get from not smoking pot would be pretty counterproductive. I can just see someone getting hooked on Ativan while trying to quit pot. That would be terrible.

That's what you'd call one step forwards and two steps back. In that case I'd go with nancy reagan's just say no. :thumbup:

I'm probably one of the most pro pot folks on here and I applaud your choice op and can understand what you mean by leveling back out on seratonin and dopamine levels. I still remember many crashes from stopping every prescription drug they put me on for pain. You think it's bad now, try withdrawls from prescription meds, even milder stuff like anti depressants when you get off them it's a struggle.

Many anti depressants come with suicide warnings, both for while you're on them and when you quit, and they aren't kidding... Really screws up your mental balance. Anything even pot will a little but wow, that stuffs in another league alltogether.

I bet you'll play less off pot and your game goes down, since you sound like you're going to focus more on work or other things more now. Not because pot made you better but now you'll have more other stuff on your plate.
 
Are those clones?

Veg longer and use a bigger light. This is djshort blueberry before flowering. It's not a good yielder true, but veg it huge and the yield is acceptable. Flip to flower at this size and you can get a pound off each one if you vscrog it and use vertical open bulb 1k's. Use a larger container than this though, this is a 6 gallon bucket of just FFOF soil and wasn't nearly large enough to support the best growth in flower for that much plant mass. Plus you have to water something this big in this small of a container twice a day, and it's a real PITA. I went to 26 gallon rubbermaid bins after this and then you only have to water once daily max. It doesn't take that long to get this size with 1kw lights, you'd be suprised. Forget big plants with smaller lights though or with horizontal hoods, complete waste of time.

This style grow only requires one big light for veg, then add a second for flowering under it also vertical, 5 big plants around it in a circle, and that one little fan in the middle on the floor. No co2 or climate control or air conditioning or anything fancy. This grow was just cooled by the one fan and keeping the door open during lights on. I had no timer even at this point, just woke them up and put them to sleep manually, had to open and close the door anyway so a timer wouldn't have helped.

Very low budget and low tech, but quite acceptable results.


It all fit in this bathroom, but it was pretty tight. The other plants were pulled out for this photo or all you'd have seen is a wall of green.

The second pic is if you wanted to get really fancy with hydroponics and vertical lights, and no it's NOT my grow this is krusty buckets from many years ago, just showing what is possible. I think the strain on that is g13 though, blueberry would not yield like that. Each of these is over 4lbs per plant.

You didn't break an arm or catch a disease. No real "healing" involved, unless you had some smoking relate bronchitis or a nasty burn from a seed explosion...

:cool:

Like your bathroom/growroom! That second photo is just amazing. I don't have the space (or nerve) to grow any more, so smoke very little these days - just as a sleep aid, really. The quality is so poor over here it's not worth the effort. Need a quality mom to take the stress out of it.

Wonder how they avoided losing it to bud rot.

Oh and by the way, I thought that was you a long time ago, but didn't say anything for awhile. You're on RIU and others right?
 
Yep Im the same oregonmeds from riu and thcfarmer and etc etc. No need to hide since I'm a legal grower. Or was, not growing dittly right now unless you count green beans potatos garlic tomatos and spinach.

I've run both clones and from seed purdman, but those blueberry's I had to start with seeds then cloned the best mom. Being legal in a medical state usually makes it easy to get whatever top quality clones you want and so you can avoid the complication and delay of seeds, but in the case of blueberry there are so many variations from so many seedbanks the only way I could be sure to get djshort was order seed.



delawho those grows like krusty's with over 10kw of lights use heat pump sized full house or industrial air conditioning units just for the grow room alone to keep full control over heat and humidity, in addition to sulpher burners or whatever. The a/c is key they'll suck humidity out of a room better than anything else. Without giant a/c units 10kw plus would make that room an oven, or a nice 100% humidity sauna, and no plants would survive let alone grow big.

I never had a problem with bud rot indoors but do have household a/c, and have had colas as fat as my legs, but then again the most wattage I've run at one time is only 4k and in two different rooms. However when I tried to grow outdoors I lost them all to bud rot, oregon's got the wettest climate around and there's nothing you can do to control outside humidity, even if you keep rain off there's still high humidity in the air and that's all bud rot needs.

Oh and long ago in this thread someone said something about how much food has an effect on your mood, and how some foods contain chemicals that might affect you more than weed even. That's true actually. You can extract lettuce opium from your standard variety head of lettuce and I hear it's fairly strong. (never tried it) And if you were a vegetarian who ate lettuce every day in large amounts I bet your body would miss it a whole lot and you'd probably feel like crap if you had to cut it off and survive on just meat or something.
Lets hope the DEA doesn't read about that and make lettuce the next controlled substance. If they did they better add lawn grass to that list also and most plants for that matter, many many varieties produce various amounts of DMT which can be extracted and concentrated.

Your green lawn could be illegal in a not too distant future. Your own brain could be made illegal since it produces it's own cannabanoids and can't function without them, it also produces it's own DMT and without it you couldn't sleep and you'd die. Everyone trips at night, that's how you dream and explains how off the wall dreams often are. There's nobody in the world that isn't a daily drug user technically.

Broken arm heals much easier than a broken brain...the mind is vastly more complex...

Info: Dj short Lost his Org. Blueberry parents, and had to recreate. Its not even close to bad! It's called true blueberry. But allot of the variety in the lines is lost, for one wanting to look for unique plants.

I got gifted 50 beans' magic stuff..........

It is from a guy from a bean stalk very very far away.........he took 200 old dj short beans (blueberry from the 90's) and grew them all, selected all the plants that showed sativa dom traits'. Out of 200 he selected only the best of the best........and did a open seed run with all the best Sat dom's Blueberrys. Then he planted 200 of these, to search further. This is when the magic starts showing up. So in short, the gifted beans are f3's hand selected from old stock Dj blueberry's, Sativa dom'. These were the beans i was going to take right to the bank in ohio' but all those plans are mute now...

Search my post if you want to see the kit setup for testing....Never been used, or i wouldn't be here talking, nothing to hide, no paranoia......Life is good!
 
swami I never knew those details on djshort but coincidentally I got those beans from a guy on one of the forums and they were marked f3 hybrid. I always wondered why. You know more about it than I do, but we must know some of the same people, or know some people who know the same people...

It's a small world, at least in some circles it is. :)

I only received 10 of those beans and selected the mother from 6 seeds, so certainly wasn't working with a lot of choice in genetics for the mother. I no longer have that plant or any moms now, but I do still have the last 3 or 4 beans somewhere for it. I only ran that a couple grows because while the taste and smell was fantastic and it had a good high, the yield wasn't what I was looking for. I was all about trying to set record yields on a low budget but never quite got there. Got shut down from the dui right when I was about to do a cutting edge doubled's MPB style hydro grow. I had 13kw and most of the gear needed except the a/c and an electrical sub panel to support it all.

"Search my post if you want to see the kit setup for testing" ?

Kit setup for testing what? THC levels? I'm not in the market for any more grow gear. I have a bunch to sell off myself I've still never used and have zero money anyway. I never sold or grew for profit, that's why my grows were always low budget with minimal equipment, it's just a fun hobby and gave me something challenging to do trying for big yields. I wanted to run a big MPB style grow just to see how well I could do, but couldn't really even afford the electricity so 10kw of the ballasts I bought have never even been used either. I had hopes the laws were about to change so I could grow for a living legally and was stocking up on gear and experience for it, but have since given up hope that they ever will change in my lifetime anyway.

Now my main grow space houses a brunswick gold crown which coincidentally was manufactured on 4/20/1964 (quite appropriate for me) and I don't see myself giving that table up any time soon, so I think I'm mostly retired from any and all serious growing uness the laws do change. As it stands now the laws are too grey on being a provider and still leave you open to fed trouble and after this probation the last thing I need is any trouble.

Luckily they can't arrest me for playing pool.

What i was trying to say, the tent was set up for testing the temps' and the lighting ect.........Also to test the ventilation. Never been used
 
Here is a example of the Blueberry Sat' that my gifted beans throw out....

This one is a clear head stash' with a wicked taste of blueberry's.

Its a huge yielder! this plant was grown from seed' veg 7 days then right too 12/12!!!!

Don't slobber on the keys man! :grin:

You can see the thai influnce. that was the idea......

That looks very similar to how mine turned out but is obviously more saturated with trichomes than my blueberry's ever were. In fact that looks better than almost anything I've ever grown except for some subcool seeds I once had, or maybe the Jack Herer I did many years ago, both of which I no longer have any of.

Well done! Makes me wish I could taste it for sure. I almost feel like I can taste it just off memory. :)
