Window Sill growing Update August 11

[Albino Raven]

Well the plant is doing rather well since I switched ferts from the
15-15-30 to a 15-30-10 and it's blooming. That plus it's daily dose
of manure tea it's doing amazingly well.

I decided two weeks ago to buy a book on growing. Now checking
through the newsgroup most people noted on the Ed collection. So I
checked out the local library (I live in Canada, they are in the local
library system. Yay!), took a couple out and found that I have
sooooooo many holes in what I know about this sort of thing. So after
thumbing around in a bunch of books a found a spanish lad that had a
sense of humour and good information on growing. The book is called
Indoor Marijuana Horticulture and it's by a Jorge Cervantes(sp?). It
has become part of my bathroom collection and I proud to place it
there. (excrimediation anyone...ommm)

On an odd note, the female plant my retired parents were growing went
to seed. Ended up harvesting it last weekend, dried some in the
microwave in a paper bag to test the potency, vapourized it, ate
nachos/carrot sticks/celery and watched the sun set. The rest is
curing properly now. It was a good weekend and sunset, firefly's were
doing cool things as well.

They are at a cottage BTW and since my parents grew it from one of the
female cuttings I gave them earlier, it logically makes sense that
somebody is growing downwind somewhere. I've taken a good look around
their cottage for a male plant (the book has pictures so I know know
what to hunt for now! Far more useful than the web in this case). I
didn't find any male plants though, so I'm assuming it's miles away
and blowing pollen on to my parents plant.

They grow for the same reason I grow, the meds for pain control are
absurdly strong and the shingles in my Dad's ear has been driving him
to the point of insanity until last summer when I got him hooked up
with an ounce of good northern lights. So instead of seeing a
drooling mess I actually get to talk to my Dad which is nice. My Mum
was also diagnosed with it in January this year but she got it all
over her back, so between to the two of them the ounce was well
recieved and I bought them a vapourizer in the spring because they are
old and really don't need a dose of lung cancer. ;)

For those that don't know what Shingles is, it's basically an
incredibly painful form of chicken pox that returns from exposure in
one's youth. I couldn't describe to anyone what the pain is like,
just that my dad wanted to put out the fire in his ear with an ice
pick and my mum would have liked to have her skin peeled off with a
dull butter knife rather than deal with the extreme annoyance of
shingles.

So there's another reason to grow green. Shingles - the other skin
eating disease that is incredibly painful.

Glad to hear things are looking better.

Jorge is quite a character. BTW, here's an interesting interview of
Jorge from a year or so ago:

Ahhh, what a combo: summer and smoke. And cool parents, too! :-)

Upwind.

Unless your female went hermie, perhaps from stress. Are you sure
there isn't at least one small male organ lurking somewhere on the
plant?

Since I have something of a medical background, I'm just curious about
the shingles (varicella-zoster). It sounds like they have both had
several recurring bouts, which is somewhat unusual. Are they taking
any anti-viral meds such as acyclovir, valacyclovir or famcyclovir?

All the creaks in the joints just seem to disappear with smoke and
sun.

Doh, please excuse my rented fingers. My bad.

I don't see how though, it's been hot, but not over 85 degrees. I
checked around the plant and didn't see anything. But all things
considered, the plant yielded about 4 ounces of bud, versus mine which
seems to be rapidly growing alot more than 4 ounces, considering the
size of the plant which is surprising. (it's maybe 2 1/2 feet tall,
and super bushy from using the paper clip method)

Not sure honestly. Dad's had skin cancer and he's a type 1 diabetic.
So his immune system is all ready trashed, so it took a while for the
meds to do their stuff at around 2 months. I know that it wasn't the
anti viral agents that turned him into a slobbering lump. That was
the Tylenol 3 he was eating like tic tacs.

My mum got when they were down in La Florida and they promptly came
back up north for treatment. I think Mum took around a month to get
straightened out with the meds and some steriod treatment, she's in
good shape but like every woman over 50 she's losing her marbles.

I do know that dad lost part of his hearing on his left side. All
things considered they are 73 years old and they are still moving and
doing their thing, the diabetes hasn't taken any toes (yet) although
the skin cancer did get his arm up to the elbow.

Hello,

I was just wondering : are you sure your parents' plant hasn't realeased any
pollen ?
A female plant may produce some well-hidden male flowers, also ... Check it
out ! :)
