Is this is the same cat you posted in your previous pics? If so, you've obviously done a great job at making her healthy again.

Yes indeed. Before and after. Lots of medications tried, lots of gentle cleaning, regular antibiotics and steroids, and prescription food, and as much love and kindness and she will tolerate.

Kudos. Seeing that and hearing that story. You have everything and more that it takes to make a remarkable Cannabis cultivator.

You just made my day, and it’s only 4:34 am! Thank you! This year, my license and credentials will lapse as a Registered Respiratory Therapist. I haven’t practiced since the end of 2014, and I genuinely miss patient care. I also love animals (and plants) and needed an outlet for nurturing. But I also joke that like parenting, I sometimes need to take a more hands-off approach lest I hurt my kiddos. Shit, even cannabis cultivation is just a metaphor for life. Good morning and have a great day! Thank you for making mine.

You're welcome! We are lucky to have you as a citizen of the community. Your warm thoughts have made my day too!

Does she deserve a few nugs of your ladies once you harvest? Perhaps simmered low and slow in some fatty salmon?

If she liked coconut oil, I’d give her some of the infused coconut oil I make but she doesn’t.

Is she still on meds or suffering from ailments? If she is and you wanted to try cannabis you could start small and just incorporate a bit with her food, as long as there's some fat in her meal which there should be, she should feel some effects.

Estimated 6th week of flower here for the big trellised plant. The other is in maybe week 3. Had some workmen in our complex today, and one stopped his truck to ask me when I would be harvesting. Not too many days like today left this fall. And this ladybug chart was cool.

Well hope you can learn a lot here, and help others in the process

Today, my mail carrier commented on how much he likes my plants...”THOSE ones” (motioning to the two cannabis plants). I told him their days are numbered, and he made it clear when they’re ready, he wants some. I asked if he liked edibles. He said no, just smoking it. I guess cookies at Christmas won’t do anymore. Anyway...the afternoon turned lovely after a day filled with horrible wind and rain. It’s not the worst way for these ladies to spend their final days.

I appreciate the vote of confidence. If I’m being honest, this bud, if I do ok with harvest, drying, and curing, will be in such limited quantities I won’t want to share lol.

I’m limited by location. So my next grow won’t start for at least another 7-8 months lol.

Watching the temps now and debating whether to harvest this plant every single day. Still not really seeing much amber on the calyces, but they’re overall cloudy. The bubba kush is coming along and hopefully can be brought inside at night and still have some time before harvest.
