Grow experiment 2: Growing with Nutrients

 

My little sprouts have really taken off I started them from seeds and when they got to big for the mini green house I transplanted them into into one gallon pots and and gave them a good feeding with the root juice/water mix. A day and half later when the soil dried out I gave them a good watering with a mixture of the Bio Grow. They are really taking off and I'm proud =]

Perfectly Purged

This is a picture of super purged Grape ape oil this is the solid piece most of it came out as white and powdery I have to use the heat of my fingers to form it into a ball so it can be dropped onto a hot nail for and epic dab

PenVape -CO2 extracts

Would you like an alternative to bho?

Well you should check PenVAPE!! The pen comes with a usb charger and the cartridges are CO2 extracts. They come in Hybrid, Indica, Sativa, and in many different strains.

I have found them at many dispensaries in the Seattle area I always check Thc Finder and Leafly to find out who has them and who has the best prices.

Those of us who live up north and looking for a closer place  Zen Living Cooperative in Bow, WA always has a new selection of cartridges and pens.

T-rex strain

T-Rex
Hybrid  A+

• Smell: Very spicy smell. It also smells like chicken pot pie to me
• Taste: To me it has the flavor of a homemade chicken pot pie.
• Medical Uses: Back pain, Stress, ADHD, Nausea, Sleep

 I found this awesome strain at the Zen Living Cooperative it was recommended to me because I was having extreme back pain. That night I tried a bowl of it helped ease my back pain and helped me drift off to sleep.

The 420 Diaries LST Project

 It has been a long run with this wonderful plant as it comes to the end of flowering cycle I have kept her trimmed up and manicured making sure that any discolored and damaged leaves were taken off so the growth focus was on the flowers.
In the middle of Aug I was finally able to get a good reflector and 400w lights. I put in the HPS bulb in she exploded with life. The trichomes exploded and the buds got denser and turned a darker color she had been in flowering for 71 days she is still growing more white hairs every day and the smell is becoming very familiar but yet I still can’t place it.      ~Juniper~

The Magical Butter 2 the alternative to traditional preparations!!

I just recently purchased the magical butter 2 off ebay so I could easily make butter and oils but what I got was much more! The machine makes oils in an hour, butters in 2 hours, and tinctures in 4-8 hours. It has multiple temperature settings so you can set it based off what you are making. It can make 2-5 cups of your desired oil, butter or tincture and the best part is you can use any herb you would like too. It is as simple as putting your ingredients into the machine, place the top on, select the proper settings and let it go and it will shut off when it is done cooking. They also provide a reusable filter. All you have to do is filter out the solid materials and pour your product into the containers and store appropriately. ~Juniper~

The Bending Project Update

Less than a month into the bending project and my sativa plant has grown so much. Her branches and stem have thickened up and have started to develop bark. I have been able to remove the brace that was placed at the base of the stem and she can hold herself up on her own without leaning too far over. I have also done some extensive topping and pruning that has turned her into a nice size bush.

Since the soil holds a lot of water I have choose to start foliage spraying her a few times a week so I can get more nutrients to her. I have also carefully watched to make sure mold doesn't develop.

Lowering the pH

When I transplanted my plant I added some fresh organic soil that we had picked up to help fill in the pot and then my pH spiked up to an 8 so before it could do damage to my plant I looked for a way to fix my pH problem.

I got my bottle that I store my water in added a cap full of my special ash to the water and tested the pH it came out to 6.8- 7 range next since I don’t have the money to go out and by lime or pH down I went online and found out that saw dust and wood chips would help so I went out collected up some and added a layer on top and watered her till I got some run off.

I retested the pH of soil afterwards and after only one treatment the soil pH had gone back down to the 6.5 -6.8 I’m going to continue to monitor the pH and make adjustments as needed.


[Update] it has been two days and only one treatment the pH dropped back down into the proper range and I had to remove as much of the sawdust and wood chips that where left on top to prevent further drop of the pH.

The Bending Project

At the beginning of this month I topped and then transplanted my sativa plant into a 5 gallon pot and gave her fresh organic potting soil. At 73 days she was 15” tall and I want to continue her in veg for a while longer but I was going to run out of room fast so I decided it was time to start my bending project

Using small metal loops that I attached to the pot I started half way up the plant and used a natural rope tied loosely around the stem to start bending it back and used 2 sticks to support the stem. Then I attached a string an inches up I attached a second string to start the bend over process over the next few days I tied the strings down till I could attach 2 strings to the top branches and separate them out so they wouldn`t be so close together and get more light to all the branches.

Since I have started this project I have noticed the stem getting much thicker and stronger and branches that once was growing very slowly have now thickened up and have started growing much faster branches and one on the bottom have grown up and snaked around so they could get closer to the light.


My plan for the end of this month is to pinch the tops and branch her out more. I will bend the branches around to form a nice solid bush.

Spicy White Cheddar/ Chili Lime Spice Pot Corn

Spicy White Cheddar/ Chili Lime Spice Pot Corn 4oz 

http://foxpharmedibles.blogspot.com/

So I picked up this tasty treat at HLC Bellingham the flavor was amazing the 2 flavors complemented each other nicely and you could really taste the medication in it. I also love the fact that they used medicated coconut oil instead of butter. The only down side to this one was the popcorn was a bit soggy. I ended up putting half the bag in a bowl and microwaved it for 30 sec and it got warm and spicy and I loved it! I got 2 servings out of this bag.

ROOR mini bong

ROOR

So I was looking for a new travel sized bong that would be easier to take with me since I am always on the go and some times smoking out pipe is just not an option. This pipe is neat it is small enough to sit in my cup holder and not move around. It is a glass on glass down stem with a bowl piece attached so there isn't anything extra I have to worry about getting knocked off and lost in my car. It also has a carb on the back that took me a minute to get use to but it was a lot easier than having to pull the entire stem piece out of the bong and it also saves the stem from an accidental drops or breaking.

Tasty Tinctures- Honeysuckle

Honeysuckle Elixir 1oz

Sativa Elixir 50/50 Hybrid
Healthy Living Center Bellingham, Wa

So I picked this up because it was a sativa dominate strain that I could take when I wake up to prevent acid reflex. It also gave me a great pick me up and gave me that boost that needed to get work done. I would put a full dropper in my morning tea and be set for the day. As for the flavor it really does remind me of honeysuckle. Sadly this was one of the last bottles of this Tincture. I hope that more is made because was truly an uplifting one.

I take my indica dominate tinctures at night to help ease my insomnia and help ease my RLS. I also take this when I have really bad stress headaches and when I'm out of my sativa I'll take it to ease my acid problems.

I really have enjoyed this product it gave me quick relief a few drops gave me relief from minor pain a dropper full drifts me right off to sleep.

I have go to this place twice now and both times it has been worth the drive. You must call ahead and set up an appointment so you can be seen quickly and don't have to wait. Walking in the lobby is very clean and well set up and the first appointment I went to the lady asked if I wanted hot tea while I was filling out the paper work and made me a glass. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable about the products they sale. They have a good selection of medical marijuana, hashes, oils, and much more. The location is kind of tricky to find if you aren't familiar with the area but it was a great find!

They had a great selection of products and I ended up buying 2 grams of medical marijuana and getting a free sample bottle of Kit-tea's Apple Pie Tincture I started taking a dropper of this once day to help ease my acid reflex and it worked wonderfully.  It had a great flavor to it and I want to get back to Mukilteo so I can try their other flavors.

The Kasher

This neat little tool is called Kasher I found it at Local Blend in Mount Vernon WA it is metal and slides on to a regular sized bic lighter. It works as a perfect for unclogging my bowl pieces on my pipes and bongs, flipping over the marijuana in my bowl. Before I got this I was bad about trying to clean my bowls with my nail and was getting ash stuck under my nails which got annoying and if there was a cherry I didn't notice I'd get burned. I kept loosing all my little makeshift tools so when I found this I had to try it out. It has also prevented people from "Bicing" (walking off with) my lighter. The only down side to this item was with regular use and handling the color rubbed off.
