Hi I’m 45 and from Australia. I have a spinal cord jury and while I have access to prescribed thc/cbd oil it is expensive and I have to carefully ration it to last the month
The other down side is ingesting it does not provide immediate relief it can take up to an hour for the pain relief to fully take effect.
Funny fact the doctor can prescribe me opioids they’re cheap highly addictive and have many negative side effects and easily obtained.
The THC oil is is prescribed by a specialist and the cost of the consultation and the oil is more than buying a quarter ounce of weed off the street. And requires special paper work and the chemist can’t stock it and has to order it in specially.
Any way ridiculous Australian politics aside.
I’ve decided to grow for a few reasons the gardening is therapeutic in itself and rewarding and I’d rather not make sketchy connections buying on the street.
So here is my set up 5 Feminised autos in 30ltr pots growing outdoors.
I’ve planned for failure with 5 plants but now starting to think I might have more buds than I can ever use.
I have 5 healthy seedlings just starting to unfold their 2nd nodes.
I am giving them full morning sun until the uv index gets to about 3 then move them to bright shade until there is no shade and then filtered sunlight behind shade cloth on my patio until the uv index drops before one last dose of late evening sun.
I plan to do this until they are established enough to stay out in the full sun all day.
Looking for any advice, things to be aware of or look out for.
Perhaps tips for drying and curing to make sure what I produce lasts me until next season.
