Those last 3 is a beast from my gelato, smells like sour patch kids, rarely have gotten many seeds at all, so sometimes I find one that says hey, I save gave away alot of them, until this year, dropped many from last year and most female, biggest came from that stock, let call it natural selection, some will say oh no bag seed but I know my genetics there's gotta be something there or at least hope of something coming out of it, but im calling her sour snatch lol definitely sour and fruity sativa ish looking but guessing will see soon, others include hindu and gdp from mom's garden 2 years ago another gelato seed, a seed I ran last year from gelato did well so I found a seed out of that, also a seed from Chemdog #4 is the other long bud one way bigger than parents in all cases, always experimenting something, never played with seeds doubt it'll be a regular thing too many pans in the fire lol

I believe we all need to work together toward healing this earth educating getting back to simplicity, being true self sharing self exploration, ideals, be more open to what our ancestors knew, there's so much cultural knowledge being lost, stand strong speak and teach cuz honesty this world is dying and we aren't doing anything to stop it

I'm a god fearing religious man myself and it has nothing to do with satanic astrology. I've been told that too. It's just different alignments put different stresses on the earth and people started watching them. Just like the moon affects the oceans tides.

Some of the stuff you talk about is followed by bio dynamic gardening or farming.

Our ancestors understood ritual occupies the mind, which focuses the body, removes doubt, accomplished through focused work, until mastery is reached

The ritual is important it keeps grounded focused and consistent starting to find my own positive rituals

Some of my adopted rituals at 1st seemed silly after a while it rewrites your brain code, gotta be self do you find what works stay positive stay motivated

Usually spend a few hours listening to Napolean Hill and Carl Jung or motivational content reflecting writing, was angry frustrated unfocused, finding focus peace and becoming grateful, be the positive voice see your worth

We all know we don't gravitate to all the same practice but we all in this movement of marijuana and self exploration don't let fear prevent your truth, I know I allowed it missed so much opportunity but its never to late to be the person you want to be

In Carl Jung's psychology, the "authentic self" is achieved through the process of individuation, a lifelong journey to integrate conscious and unconscious aspects of the personality into a unified, fully realized whole. This process involves delving into one's inner world to connect with the Self, which is the true individuality of a person, and living in alignment with this inner truth rather than solely conforming to societal expectations or the ego's needs. By confronting elements of the personal unconscious and archetypes like the shadow, one can develop a deeper sense of self and live more fully and authentically.
The Process of Individuation
Inner Exploration: The journey begins with turning inward, exploring one's subconscious and inner landscape to discover suppressed talents, forgotten passions, and true values.
Integration: This exploration involves bringing elements from the personal and collective unconscious into conscious awareness. Key aspects to integrate include the Persona, the social mask worn, and the Shadow, the repressed aspects of the personality.
Balancing Opposites: It is about achieving harmony and balance between the conscious and unconscious, and between different parts of the personality, without allowing one to dominate.
Becoming Whole: The ultimate goal is to become more fully oneself, developing a sense of individuality and depth that differentiates one from mere conformity to social norms.
Key Concepts
The Self vs. the Ego: For Jung, true authenticity comes from living out of the Self, the totality of one's being, rather than just the Ego, which is more tied to conscious thought and social roles.
Societal Pressures: Authenticity often requires resisting the pressures of societal expectations, the need for external approval, and the tendency to conform to collective values.
Inner Authority: Authenticity involves acting on one's own authority, making choices that align with one's true self and inner voice, even when these choices go against the mainstream.
Benefits of Living Authentically
Greater Fulfillment: Living authentically leads to a more fulfilling life with increased purpose and inner peace.
Increased Self-Awareness: The process enhances self-awareness, emotional balance, and personal freedom.
Creative Energy: The energy that is suppressed when one ignores their inner voice can be reclaimed and channeled into one's true vocation, leading to greater creativity.

Trust me isn't for faint of heart I began questioning everything and felt paralyzed for a bit, realizing alot of my problems roots idk was a weird limbo for a bit but finding footing, had to realize alot and be more self aware of my own self destruction and triggers

Biggest problems were self image, self abuse, denied self of authenticity steming from outside doubts not even own truth, shine light on them you will see a decent person
Unless your a twat then good luck to you keep spreading the fuckery over there please

Most new farming practices involve putting a plant in the ground when conditions are right, like in spring. This takes it just a touch deeper than set it and forget it when it gets warm and sunshiny.

California switches to Arizona in winter growing season so don't think education is lacking. I've been there and hauled groceries across the United States of America.

Education means alot of things mine hard knocks figure it out inspite of self, life educates, I research incessantly just need to know, each of us has our own paths obstacles, overcoming is learning, does get easier the more you get up for self, not shrinking who you could be stepping forward

Some folks are closed minded and their way is the only and best way. I thought the reason growers got together was to talk about new things and how they worked for them.
