The Great and Secret Garden of Ganja Ged - Indoor-Ebb&Flow-LED-2 Tent Perpetual

[D.A.A.S.69]

You are one hellava man Ganj, is all I can say brother, if there is anything I can help you with, let me know..
Only one I've ever grown out of your bunch is Northern Lights, and she grew up to be a real monster.
Talk to you later Ganj.

[GanjaGed]

I meant to have that in comment to DAAS, lol

[GanjaGed]

Ty Tika and Dreamar.

As a quick aside Dremar, is your name in any way related to RJD?

[GanjaGed]

I'm hoping that once I get some mostly CBD Strains going and processed right I'll be able to at least partially keep the Inflammation down, high THC/low CBD isn't going to do it, or at least any benefit has not been apparent. Hopefully I'll be able to keep the levels of other inflammation meds at a low dose at minimum once I get there.

The injections and Sumatriptan are all in reaction to coming off the Steroids, which are a poison and very bad long term/high dose, so they're only temporary. I was on the Sumatriptan before Steroids, it helps with the migraines but not my shoulders and hips. I've had the injections a couple of times even on the Steroids, because they pretty much remove the hip/shoulder pain, but they only help with frequency and intensity at my max dose.

I'm not sure what the replacement is but it's safer than Prednisone, aka The Devil's Tic-Tacs in the community.

The Neuro meds deal with Dopamine levels to allow communication between the brain and body. While I do have some reduced tremors from cannabis, it's not nearly enough and I suspect is only reducing the portion of the tremors related to the stress caused by the disease. The reality with those is once they stop working I'll pretty much be done for as far as cognition.

They only suppress the symptoms by overloading my dopamine levels to "arc" across the dying connections, there is no cure, and they have a limited working period based around where in progression one is, the earlier the longer they'll work. For me the guess is 2-5 years, could be less or more but that's the avg time-frame.

Weird Fact, The number one cause of death for people with my disease is pneumonia, followed by random infection. Quite honestly for me, and not to dismiss anyone's views or opinions, I'd much rather have a terminal diagnosis like advanced cancer or something. The idea of becoming a gibbering pile of flesh, who can't even recognize his own children simply terrifies me. I'm comfortable with what I've done in life and my place in the universe. It's also not uprising that suicide ranks high as a cause of death with this.

Anyways enough of that shit!

Favorite plant is hard to say, they all have something.

Wonder Woman - Impressed with her uniform strong growth and bud site production. Also love the bud formation.

Northern Light - Flowering stretch took her from where I was concerned about her ability to hold her own in the tent to just dominating. Great Tric production. Buds seem a bit more "airy" than I prefer, but still and amazing grow.

Candida - Should have never been in this grow, the Wonder Woman out grew her in veg and then in flower NL just over shadowed her. Having said that, she's an extremely hearty plant with great bud formation. She's also the strain I'm most interested in post harvest because of her insane CBD levels with low THC. It's gonna take some dialing in the grow and more importantly the processing but I suspect she'll play a major role in my med cannabis routine.

Any thoughts on harvest time?

TY for the support all, it really does mean a lot.

Rundown of the Neurologist appointment today:

riple Temporal Injections, Tripleplus Ungood!

The results are great but the injections are terrible.

3 Temporal and 2 Occipital injections

BP is a bit high

Neuro meds working great

Blood Test for increased Inflammation now that I'm coming off the Steroids. Shoulder and Hip pain as well as Migraines are all back. Pretty sure I'm back to double and triple normal levels, judging by pain levels.

Temporary Med Sumatriptan for Migraines until my Rheumatologist gets me on something to replace the Steroids

If they could get both of these medicated right I think I'm in decent shape. Not normal, but much improved over where I was.

He's sending another exception letter to insurance for my increased Donepezil since I'm currently having to pay out of pocket for half the prescription. Apparently they feel I should only partially suppress the cognitive problems...

Also found out that I'm going through this Steroid treatment to satisfy insurance so they'll cover the actual med.

I hope those bastards have to go through this shit. II get that they need to protect against fraud and such, but I have an extensive medical record over the last year or so with 4 different Dr's and showing progress. At some point don't you say let's get this person comfortable again?

[Evaldreamar]

Sorry about what happened wish it was legal everywhere so i could help as well always depressing when something happens to to the girls no matter how ypung keep yiur head up youll get thru it just another one of lifes many attempts to bring us down but were survivors ya always get back up

[oldjarhead100]

Hate when that happens GG but it is the nature of the beast and that guy Murphy(you know the guy who has the law what can go wrong will go wrong at the worst possible time). If it was legal everywhere I could send you some replacement plants, I have 8 kush bombs about 18 inches tall I,m trying to find a home for

[oldjarhead100]

hey Zigzag that sounds like a great strain looking forward to see how it grows if we all give reviews of our pain med grows eventually we will find the best pain strain. I currently have 2 white widow,1 kush at 49 days ,2 critical ,1 black Domina at 10 days and 2 sour hound at 4 days I also have a blueberry head band that hasn't popped from soil yet . these are all autos.

[alltatup]

NOW, I believe that GanjaGed is one of the folks who ordered the Nova decarb machine (I could be mistaken), so once we have those machines in our hands, we can just pop a lil bit under the tongue after decarbing either FRESH or DRIED bud and get very fast results that way. Ardent (the company that makes the decarb machine) has great info on their sight about sub-lingual delivery.

Don't get me wrong: I love making dry-ice hash! It's fun. Any activity having to do with cannabis is fun!

My soon-to-start next grow will be a variety of high CBD strains, and I can't wait to start making my own meds. I'll grow some strains in the 1:1 THC/CBD range (around 6-10%), and Candida, an incredibly high CBD strain with minimal THC, and a high THC strain. The first I'm going to make will be a cool tincture made with decarbed bud, everclear, stored in the freezer, shaken once or twice a day, tested at 10 days. I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ZigZag]

GanjaGed_ well I hope things turn around for you_ you've got me rooting for you_ no pun intended!
I've found that what works well for meds for me is to make edibles from dry ice hash_ mostly coco oil XX caps made with the decarbed hash. take how many you need an hour or so before you want it to kick in. The effects last 6-8 hrs which is good for getting consistent sleep. Lucky for me I'm fully functional now after breaking my neck two years ago but still lots of stress and muscular pain from my C1-to the C3. MJ has made it all tolerable with way less side effects than the other meds and I just need the one. No interactions to be concerned with either. Another good alternative is to make your own tinctures_once you have them down you can just take a few drops under your tongue and the effects usually kick in about 15-30 minutes later. Taste is not so great though so i've found that if i mix a few drops in a 1/2 ounce of strong flavored alcohol it kills the taste a bit and works fast if taken the same way. Cheers and hope that helps kill the pain.
By the way_ anyone ever tried Wonder Daug from Sour Seeds? its one of the CBD strains I have going now and is suppose to be about 5-15% CBD and 15-20% THC_ which sounds about perfect for my taste in meds. I'll report on it when its finished but that won't likely be until sometime in January before its had a decent cure. Now just entering its third week of 12/12 with nice little bud-lets growing fast!

[ZigZag]

All you need is a 1/2" tube of flex so you can toke while trick or treating! Cheers1
