Yeah.. I'm falling into bad old habits with letting this grow get out of hand. It is, admittedly, just a stopgap to pull a little something while I piece together a more organized system... I still haven't even taken pH or put a thermohygrometer in thereI try to do most of the LST/HST stuff before flipping, but I'll admit to having very limited experience. Limonene I think is the name of that terp, I had some Fruity Pebbles OG recently that went heavily in that vein...delicious hash off that one
Dude yes. Nyc diesel is my example of a very high limonene antianxiety strain.I knew that terpene sounded (obviously) familiar... didn't think there would be a connection in such distinctly different plants, but cannabis is just fucking magical.
So, the essential oil of lemon (rich in limonenes) can be taken with hallucinogens to (I believe) suppress certain activities of your 5-HT receptors that are responsible for anxiety and nausea.
In my (admittedly maybe a little too thorough) experience, it works wonders especially for mescaline cacti that are notoriously rough on your gut (where those neurotransmitters are - your enteric nervous system, or, "second brain"). But also helps with psilocybin/psilocin mushrooms and ayahuasca.
Just a mental note and a little nugget some may find useful.
Also makes me wonder, since I have chronic anxiety / OCD / bipolarism, if it's these high limonene-containing varieties that do me right... cause some varieties definitely send me into a near-psychosis and some chill me the fuck out and help me function worlds better in my day-to-day.
...I have a rocky relationship with our dear cultivar...
Looks like I'll need better carbon filtration...Dude yes. Nyc diesel is my example of a very high limonene antianxiety strain.
NYC Diesel tastes and smells like Sprite syrup more than diesels.Looks like I'll need better carbon filtration...
The Mrs gets wicked headaches from the diesel variety smells... she smokes all but twice a year, so I have to keep her happy since she's so forgiving with all of my weird projects.
Lol does she like edibles? My wife rarely smokes but she has become an edible machine, especially since harvest. The Levo II I bought has gotten a ton of use hahaha.Looks like I'll need better carbon filtration...

Haha, nah, she's kind of a spaz and also has high anxiety but manages it with other herbs and supplements.Lol does she like edibles? My wife rarely smokes but she has become an edible machine, especially since harvest. The Levo II I bought has gotten a ton of use hahaha.
Holy crap.Haha, nah, she's kind of a spaz and also has high anxiety but manages it with other herbs and supplements.
Actually, P. cubensis mushroom microdoses do wonders for her if she's having a particularly rough day and they are sub-perceptive, which she particularly likes. She actually has an insane tolerance to psilocybin.. I've seen her take down 1/8th and just feel a little body high while I'm falling through the couch and incorporating into the fractal makeup of the velvet...
Probably all connected.
The brain is fascinating. My father has deep brain stimulation probes in his brain bc parkinson's and...I mean the way the programs affect his personality and entire being is just absolutely bonkers. Like not just that the shaking goes 60-0 in seconds...but he's just a different dude. Irritability level. Humor. Motivation. Obsessiveness. Like that.Yeah, for whatever reason, ever since I was a little kid, I've always been averse to pharmaceuticals. Was the little bub who refused cold medicine or tylenol - just sleep for me, thank you!
That persisted into my early adolescence when the hormone imbalance started getting wild in tandem with a messy family life. Queue cannabis and, shortly after, mushrooms. They pretty much did the trick in conjunction with regular exercise.
I don't macrodose very much anymore. Only for those intense therapy sessions... which, given the state of the world, might be coming up here soon.
And, yeah, she and her brothers are all freaks like that! I've since found it's a little more normal than I used to think, but still odd to me. I say, 'probably connected', because she's likely got something going on with her serotonin receptors... similar to how SSRI interactions render the substance ineffective.
It's very pretty.Too excited about this...

It's only 240W and I'm rather dissatisfied with the professionalism I put into it, but I'm prideful (and tired) enough - now having it flip on and dim properly on the first fire-up - to not listen to that naysaying part of my ego.
Nice resources! And yeah, i think it's denser and denser to the level of intermixture of liquids (spirit-uality?).Since I was on the topic of how little I knew about terpenes, I wanted to bookmark some mind-numbing reference articles to dredge through and try to commit to memory at some point/over time.
• Terpenes in Cannabis sativa – From plant genome to humans
• Cannabinoids and Terpenes as Chemotaxonomic Markers in Cannabis
• The Genetic Structure of Marijuana and Hemp
• Phytocannabinoids: a unified critical inventory
Definitely enough for an overview and they all have external references to swaths of other great pertinent information.
I don't see a practical use for any of these (for myself, as a hobby horticulturist)... just feeding that human thirst to observe smaller and smaller and smaller.
My father in law was an engineer and had these pads of paper at his house....when he passed i started using them as a kind of sentimentality, but I really like them actually. The grid is more useful for me.What'd I say about that weird duality of mine... for whatever reason, I see college ruled paper and just...

But, thank you, that is nice and straightforward and digestible.
edit: didn't even realize it was grid paper!
Ow my feetTotally agreed.
I use grid paper pretty often because I have to help people work out technical drawings... you wouldn't think that easily scaling would also help in writing, but I guess organization is organization any way about it, and when you have a concise 1:1, your brain's just like 'ahhh....'
Makes me think of these

and how much I want a set for no good reason other than to find them in weird nooks of my house from the cats batting them around.
I did cross-reference and there seems to be unanimous agreement with this stance.... we understand that while flushing may be used to correct a nutrient imbalance or remove accumulated salts because most PGRs are systemic, flushing does not remove them from the plant ...
I'd like to dig into the source of this "fact". Strong statement.My crop-boosting feeding-lighting-flushing program is based on the fact that in the final weeks of bloom cycle (also known as late bloom phase), cannabis that experiences moderate nitrogen deficit produces more cannabinoids and terpenoids. Research also indicates that a moderate drop in all essential nutrient elements stimulates cannabinoid and terpenoid production.
• And ThisFlushing your plants can add to their scent and flavour by removing excess nutrients. Nutrients can build up in the flowers and overpower the natural flavours produced by the strain.
If you skip [flushing], you may fail to bring out the organoleptic properties of your buds, which could even harm your health when you smoke them. This is because nutrient-rich plant tissue releases a carcinogenic compound known as nitrosamine during combustion.
And, in favor of my theory, the "fact":Organoleptic properties are the aspects of food, water or other substances that create an individual experience via the senses—including taste, sight, smell, and touch
