So I had a neurologist appointment today and he said it sounds like I keep self medication up regularly as it sounds to be helping, I'm a candidate for CBD oil and to think about it cause it's 350 a mth and the THC part is possible through chronic pain and I'd need a specialist to sign of on it... IM GONA HELP MAKE IT LEGAL.... u watch me haha
Can you please explain this a bit better?
The CBD medication costs $350 for a months prescription? Drops, caps or? THC part is illegal isn't it? Who fills the script, the local pharmacist or?
Were is the specialist located and what is the time frame to see them?

And it is already legal- hence you able to see a specialist..

The more you look into it the more you realise the importance of Calcium in plant nutrition,it's by far THE MOST IMPORTANT nutrient out there and I'd garauntee is lacking in all of our plants. Foliar application is the only way to keep Ca levels high in during periods of fast growth like the transitional or "stretch" phase,it's also vitaliy important for bud set and early flower development so if you aren't supplementing before and during stretch by the time proper flowering starts your Ca levels will be really low and can be the biggest limiting factor in final yield.

I'm not shilling for NTS and there are other good products out there that will boost Ca but these guys make solid performing inputs at quite reasonable prices. This gear is around $50 for 5L from their online shop,better than paying $30+ per L for CalMag from a hydro shop.

I see that has boron as well - not sure I've ever had a boron deficiency but may well have. What does boron bring to the table apart from being trace? I use a powder with boron and other stuff in it (its not trace elements per se), just a certain rock dust I found with a bunch of micros I couldn't find in other simple applications.

At $50 for 5 litres its still ripping value, just curious about boron

Edit: @OzCocoLoco, forgot to quote your cal-tech post

They call Ca "the trucker of nutrients" and B "the driver" as it plays an important role of directing nutrient flow. You won't often see it deficient enough to show on the leaf and being a trace elements it's quite easy to over do it but a lot of farmers will foliar spray boron at the very start of flowering to help the plant move nutrients around during the transition

Again I'm not a NTS shill but you'll be hard pushed to find better prices for quality inputs like theirs,and you can order direct from them online which is handy.

Yeah right, I've noticed a tangible improvement this run by keeping cal levels around double what the maxi range delivers so I might replace my bottle of cal with the stuff from nts. I don't use cal mag together, just mag if needed after looking after Ca

Mag is better applied by foliar spray if you're in soil,Coco may need some to balance the cations but not nearly as much as most guys online believe.
NTS actually make a product called CMB which is Calcium, Magnesium and Boron but I've never used it.

Never thought of calcium as being so important. Might have to get some of that or maybe some calmag just cause stretch is already on and i don't wanna wait for postage.
I've given my blue dream trace elements but might not be enough calcium in that.
What do you recommend for outdoor flowering nutrients?

I've got Epsom and liquid mag sulphate (same thing really) but I've found that I've only used it early in this run and had no real mag related issues so I don't use it at all unless I can see the deficiency on the leaves. I've been guilty of overdoing mg in the past by using a bit each feed - something quite a few people reckon is necessary in coco. It really isn't unless your on fancy non tap water

Were is the specialist located and what is the time frame to see them?

And it is already legal- hence you able to see a specialist..
Each case has to be passed by federal government but he said they just sign off on it when the right specialist is involved ..one of his patients has seizure and chronic pain but she is also seeing a pain therapist or something.. not quite sure exactly how and when for THC but sounds like a mission to get to the approval point.. CBD is drops. And it's sent to me in the post I think .. when I get further info I'll let ya know, but I thought I'd "play it cool" not act like I won the lottery haha

And it's done via hospital script and they sending me bulk of my private meds (not PBS) and I only pay a certain amount ... So I guess it would work that way... Aromatherapists can get in CBD oil cause there is an old bloke here how gets it from Africa I think he said

Depends on doctor too. Most states are allowed to prescribe but there's some shitful number (like 20 or 30 country wide) who will actually write out a script for it. Almost every doctor weve seen for my wife has said drugs are bad mmmmkay. Bloody silly they're so hesitant to let people use it. CBD is easy to get onto medically these days but my missus does well with high THC high cbd strains, not nearly as well with cbd only so on its own it just isn't good enough to stop taking standard ep medication
