Live Stoner Chat New to AFN

[Emeraldgreen]

Hello all! Just joined after reading all the great info this site offers, just started my first grow, Diesel Lowrider, Ultra Lemon Haze and Pinnapple Punch joining the group soon. I never really pictured myself as a grower, but have found it to be the best meds for my pain. Just a quick note about the pain, I'm 40ish, three back surgeries over the last thirteen, yes, 13 years! And still in pain 24 hours a day 7 days a week, 365 days a year. If it wasn't for this beautiful plant! Well, Thank God there is!

Sorry you're in pain, Emeraldgreen. I suffer from depression/anxiety. I'm 60ish, smoked weed since HS. Nothing helps me like the weed. I have been thru the pharm treatments...not for me! Recently new to AF. Have done a LOT of reading! My first AF is at 50 days today under CFLs..Pink Ogre. Have 1 Pakistan Ryder at 4 days just ready to start in water at about harvest time on the PO. 1st flush today for PO. Running 18/6 all the way. Have 2 more strains ready to start so to have perpetual harvest through Oct/Nov. Hope to be set for winter. Grow only for my med, not 4sale. This forum is very helpful as most others seem geared to photo crops. Due to limited space/stealth/money, I really like AF. I'd like to get some LED strips..searching for best deal..has to be cheap. I grow only 2 plants in a converted old Phototron unit without the side lights. Would like to run LED strips up sides. No pic right now..maybe later. I'm interested in more about harvest time for optimum CBD. I've read various different advice on that. Some say earlier harvest for higher CBD% but I think it could depend on strain? Any advice on that would be great! Thanks for listening.

Hi Olzeke, sounds like we're almost in the same boat. Do you have pain issues with the depression/anxiety? Sounds like the docs tried to give you antideppressants too? Talked about messed up drugs! Ya, I'm depressed, so give me some big pharma meds that make it worse!! Maybe you know this but pain can and does directly affect anxiety and depression, look into the sympathitic and para-sympathitic systems, very interesting stuff, then look into how Med MJ and cannabinoids interact with those systems, like I said maybe you know this stuff? but the more I dig into it, more and more med mj is the answer. I wouldn't call myself really knowledgeable about CBD's but they are a critical componant to have, along with the THC. I'm not convicend just yet that isolating the CBD's is best, I think pain and depressed folks need both! What I do understand is that CBD's are formed or ripen as the tricomes become more amber, so a later harvest could be better, also CBD's form as the THC is breaking down, so letting the ladies cure well is important too, as well as strain. Hope that didn't come out prechy? Thanks!
