I harvested Pennywise..nice bud structure and the top colas were large and very nicely shaped. Now it’s drying and when it’s done, I’ll make oil. It’s the first time I’ve used a high CBD plant for oil so it will be interesting to see what effect it has on rheumatoid arthritis. Research is suggesting that it does well for inflammation and pain, so I’m eager to see how it works.
My greatest concern over the CBD strains is that state legislators are confused about the need for THC as well for medicine. CBD is not psychoactive in the same way that THC is, so they’re all excited…which is great…but they need to understand that THC is necessary as well for healing. As usual, they throw the proverbial baby out with the bath water in an effort to do what feels acceptable to them. But what they all miss here is the fact that they are operating under false assumptions. They need to deal in facts when crafting legislation, not the scare tactics of the anti-legalization crowd. Those people don’t care about the truth, only profits, and that’s at the heart of the lie. Rescheduling cannabis at least would allow for research, which would ultimately lead to everyone calming down and then legalization will happen. They can’t stop it now. It’s here to stay.
So, rant over..here’s Pennywise outside the room..in front of my awesome new refrigerator. Which I love. My other one made a clunking sound when the compressor shut off. Poor thing. I waved goodbye as the nice people from Lowes took it away.

Last shot of the last 5 plants in the grow
As you can see, the plants are in their final autumning off. We’ll harvest the rest of them over the next week. Then we’ll clean the area completely before bringing the six young un’s in to finish vegging and then flowering. In Oregon, we’re allowed only six that we can let grow to finish. We’re allowed additional, but they must be no larger than a foot by a foot. So, everything has to be kept small until they can go into the other area. Sometimes that involves re-cloning off of existing clones to stay in compliance. Some of the small plants are used raw in smoothies, so something is always happening medicinally in the grow room. Raw cannabis has wonderful acids in it that are so healing. Everyone should be ingesting raw cannabis. Some use raw bud in smoothies; however, I don’t care for the taste, so I just use leaf. And, it has the added benefit of being non-psychoactive, so healing without the high. I like that. Altered states are nice, but sometimes it’s not appropriate, so I especially like the versatility of this plant.
Eventually, the worms will give us enough castings to make tea and to use when making our super soil and I won’t have to buy them anymore at the grow store. I love that place, but I like to be as self-sufficient as possible, so currently the worms are living in my kitchen. Soon, however, they’ll move to the flower room where they’ll provide my ladies with natural CO2.
It’s a Lush life in the garden!
