side notes,
1. had several bugs attack the grow. so, what i did was buy two containers of ladybugs & released them in waves for about a week an a half. 1st day, released about a third, waited two days then released more & so on. no more bugs & some ladybugs stuck around.
2. still using organics.
3. mostly reverse osmosis water but sometimes water from garden hose that's been sitting in a drum to remove the chlorine.
4. nutrients molasses, beer, mycorrhizal fungi, seaweed & fish emulsions, crab, oyster shells, organic azalea flowering fertilizer by e.b. stone & kelloggs.
5. collecting the leaves that fall off & placing them in jars to practice the curing process.
6. because there is fog here i've had to spray in the mornings (only had to do this three times since february) a solution of 20 percent non-fat organic milk to water ratio (to get rid of the powdery mildew). this works & the plants seem to like the foliar spray from it but i do not want to do this again during flowering.
7. mixed smoked leaves (1-4 puffs) -- small shift in consciousness, very mild & mellow, creeps, clearheaded, beginning of psychedelicness, would not operate machinery, enough to alleviate pain.
medical side note -- as much as strength of high is touted to be something desirable, "sometimes" those afflicted with pain from injuries do not need to be incapacitated like some strains leave you, and, in some cases can actually discourage those seeking pain relief because the strength of the medicine takes them somewhere unfamiliar. i have found the introductory stages of the pain relieving effects & consciousness (body awareness) one receives from it can be enough to manage pain.
next, separated the leaves to determine each strain's characteristics & take photographs of the trichomes
