LOL...
Point well made,
thank you Very informative.
i will definitely use this with my plants in veg now.
and will have to continue to read about pruning

Yeah, like i said i was not to thrilled to see it go, it being by first grow, and me getting the plants from him i listened. nothing i have read supports cutting them like that.

Just noticed today that some of the Tips of the white hairs are turning light brown, just watered them 2 days ago.
ill water them 1 more time give them a mix of hi P. then let them dry out in the soil them self's,.
Trim and dry then we'll let the whole thing go up in smoke

Lg

P.S.

Just got done reading through the pruning section of the "Marijuana Growers Handbook"
(Indoor/Greenhouse Edition.)

Says the same thing.
"these leaves are little sugar factories"

Yep! That's exactly what they are - little sugar factories.

Sugars and starches are basically the same thing, by the way, with differing ratios or carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. Technically, they are both carbohydrates. But, sugars all have the same ratio of C:H:O, if I recall correctly - 1:2:1. For example, glucose is C6-H12-O6 (weird way to write it, but I can't get it to let me use <sub> tags) and potato starch would be something like C9-H21-O13. I'm not sure why I'm sharing that. But, I already wrote it and it's correct. So, what the hell.

[Livin Green]

nice.
i dont care why you wrote it thanks for the info.
the more i know, the more dangerous i am

Out to cause some damage

I was looking around the house and found a medium size magnifying glass,
so i got the crazy idea to take pictures through the glass.
got the idea from Jangel when she was taking pictures of tricromes through a scope.

You can see i am very excited for this harvest.

On this harvest i will be turning every thing that isn't bud(all the leaf, stems, and roots.) into Hemp oil.

like on "Run From The Cure"

And mixing it with a solvent called DMSO.
CATION!!
I encourige every one to read up on it for them self's Before trying DMSO.

DMSO has the trait, that when applied to the skin it goes right through the skin, to point that after applied you can Taste it.
It will also carry with it whatever is on your skin or dissolved in the DMSO.

DMSO is one of the most versatile solvents out there,
allowing many things to bind with it, And by itself is used for and not limited to.
sprains, aches, joint pain, arthritis...

You mix in Marijuana's natural anti inflammatory, and pain relief properties,
and you SHOULD have the makings for some great topical medicine.

All i can do is pray, then sit back and watch

my father's used DMSO for years and it, in and of itself... is an amazing treatment for inflammation, arthritis, sore joints and tendons, etc. etc. I could go on and on for days with the issue's I've personally seen it fix on others and myself... but suffice it to say, I AGREE!

I'm not sure how it would react with THC but should work extremely well with the CBD's.
I'd be very interested in hearing how you apply it and what results you experience.

Not all good things go together but if they can/will/do... boy o boy, that's some serious healin' stuff goin' on.

oh yea... pretty purples!

[Livin Green]

Thank you.

I bought some Dmso with aloe vera in it, and it is in a gelatin form.
i was planning on going back to "mothers cupboard" local health store. get a 16oz bottle of it in liquid form, at low heat mix in the oil.
then i was going to add some food gelatin to the mix let sit.

I plan on playing with this pretty extensively being.
i know 4 people with Degenerative disc disease, 1 of them being by dad.
3-4 people with carpal tunnel. 1 being my sister.
a few more with debilitating migraines. 1 being my mom.

just to name a few.

I'm praying this will work.

I think as a Medical community we need to expand our horizons,
and focus on educating people on ALL the forms of use.

even though most of us smoke,
there just seems to be to big of a social taboo.
In order to reach other demographics we need to strongly advocate alternative forms of use.
I think when people start seeing the versatility of the herb, it will bring all this a little more main stream, or at least turn a few more heads.

[ScooterTramp]

Those are grand thoughts Lg and I agree completely... just be careful with that DMSO.
I use it in liquid form and never had a problem... but my pops gave me a healthy respect for the power of that stuff. Handle with care and best wishes with it.

[Livin Green]

I will, and thank you for the note of caution,
you can never have enough of it.
and i tend to error on the wrong side of it
that's why the wife is here, keep me in line.

Going to give them a Big flush Monday or Tuesday.
depending on how they look it may be there last.

plan on letting them dry out in pot for maybe a week then chop and hang.
how long would you(any one) recommend??
then ill put them in glass jars and burp daily.

Lg

Ps.
i took a taste test. Mmmmmm immature and not dried properly, and it still gave off a nice heavy smoke instant body tingle,
flavor had slight black berry taste, more leafy taste.
but that is expected.
