Hey all. just another crazy old bastard signin in here. Did a few grows in the early 80's. Spent the next 10 years on the road playin guitar and singin for a livin. Well maybe I shouldnt call it a livin, but I'm still alive lol. Spent the next 20 years raisen a couple kids with my wife. Started growin regular bout 3 years ago. Mostly because the weed didn't make my wife sick like all the pills did. So I get a new hobby and she gets top notch meds for cheap. I recently turned a closet into a small grow room. I'll post some pics in the indoor section later. See ya round.

Hey er0senin, Thanks for the greet. She has Fibromyalgia which is a "disorder characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain accompanied by fatigue, sleep, memory and mood issues." I copy n pasted that part, never heard of the word musculoskeleta, anyway she has joint pain in her elbows, wrists, and hands also. She use ta take a handful a pills a day, now just a couple. She's makiin some brownies as we speak. Using the trimmings off of the "fruity chronic juice" I harvested last week.. Thats a hybrid from Delicious Seeds. 90% indica, a cross between Chronic and White Widow. It works well for pain. let me know of other strains you know of,always interested in growing a new strain. catch ya later.

that does not sound to nice at all :/ muscle & tissue pain. also not being able to sleep or rest very well stiffness adn never feeling like you had a good rest.. and in some cases difficulties to concentrate and a hard time handeling stress. and thats just few of the symptoms you can have... Damn thats a whole lot of shit break down! rep to you for doing that work and being there for your wife bro!

what comes to mind is the blue dream since it starts with a happy energetic sativa high and end with a strong indica muscle and painkilling effect. getting some strain with extreme CBD levels also seems like a plan. There are acctualy some new strains out with above 6% CBD and a thx:cbd ratio of 1:1! works perfect for my sisters arthritis! check out cbd crew and... damn forgot the other one... this smokes sry mate ^^.

my mother perfers to mix 2 strains to get the desired effect from the meds.

Thus im still working on some projects on my own to try and find the perfect match for both of them!

Hey thanks for the tips I checked them out. next time I order seeds I'll keep them in mind. I ordered enough last time to go awhile. with the freebies I got 9 different strains, still got 3 I havnt popped. I clone a lot so I dont havta buy seed often. kinda paranoid about it, the 1st time I ordered seeds they were confiscated at Customs. took me awhile to try again lol. I am going to check out those high CBD strains though.
