I can't wait for this girl to be ready! I love this strain. Here's why:
I have a friend who's mother started displaying early dementia a couple years ago. Now, she's in full blown Alzheimer's. She can't form sentences and just babbles random words, often sitting in front of a mirror for hours at a time, talking to herself. She's so confused. She can easily become combative and panicked. It's devastating because a couple years ago she was in her prime. She was healthy, fit, gorgeous, well spoken and the sweetest person you'd ever met. It can happen to anyone.
I made a batch of caramels using Blue Shark for Christmas. I had a couple bags leftover in my freezer. When this friend came up for the summer and his mother had deteriorated, I remembered reading about cannabis therapy with Alzheimer's patient and how THC and CBD can help to remove harmful brain plaques. I gave a bag of the caramels to this friend, but he was leery because his father is rather conservative. A month later they finally tried them. The father came up to me and thanked me. "Whatever you put in those, it's working" he said. He went on to say they had evened her out. Her mood swings and panic had drastically decreased. It had completely changed the father's stance on cannabis treatment. I teared up.
So yeah. I love this strain. not only for me, but it helps other people too. When I gave out small amounts of flower at Christmas to friends, this one was everyone's favorite. I've had a lot of people who have smoked high THC varieties for years saying that they prefer this strain instead.
So let's hope I can keep those inchworms and the mold at bay.
I've also included the other plant that popped up in my pea bed. I managed to extricate the peas and trellis without harming the plant, and I put up a tomato cage for support (I'll admit I did bend a couple branches) I'm 99% certain that it's Blue Shark based on the smell. I must have reused the soil from one that didn't germinate when I was starting my peas. Apparently it liked my homemade compost since it thrived in that, competing for space with the peas. It's a little behind the other one, not nearly as full since the peas were suffocating it a bit, but whatever I get out of this plant will definitely be a win!
and they are outdide, they will soon look much better- Youve had a lot of wotk with your garden looks nice. But aint they alittle to close together=? or du you use a trellis to " catch them up"?your garden fence looks great for that
@Fibro_Witch,ok just watched half of video, cause my internaet is sooo lame... iam follwing and look for the girls.. and yeah kinda tomato.. thats what i told my granny in the late 80ties when i brought her a plant to nurse ... "its american tomatos granny... but she knew what it was, she told me her fatherr had it in his garden and smoked it, he planted tobacco in his garden and some weed, it was ususal to have weed around the house.... greetings and just the bet for the tomatoes
@Mrs_Larimar, like I said in the video, they are close together, but since the Caramel and Widow Remedy are regular seeds I'm figuring at least one of each will be male and I'll have to cull them so that will make more room ๐. I'm not planning on doing a trellis, I'm actually thinking of using tomato cages once I take off the row cover tomorrow. And I am planning on doing a tomato roof this year as per your recommendation from last year so hopefully I won't have as much of an issue with mold, so thank you! If anyone comes to my garden and asks I'll try to tell them "It's an heirloom variety of tomato... See? They're in tomato cages under a tomato roof so they must be tomatoes"๐
hi your girls look great, they made a big shoot. And iam the master of mixing the plants . I did it several times... but,, yeah anyhow ifound out . From now on iam making notes on the pots +using a sticker, before i just used stickers and swapped them when i transplanted... always fun. Most time i grow 2 of each strain so i coud do some " memory " after they grow up a little and looked for similarities..and i flower it was always possible to match the right couples. but if you grow only one from each .. well i just would smoke it out
hahaha
@Mrs_Larimar, Haha ๐ I used masking tape on the seedling pots and then used plant markers when I put them in the ground. I went back and looked at the diary from last year and I think I may actually have the correct ones. The two Cures I had last year were very different, and I think this one us the more hybrid phenotype. My Shark did have rather broad leaves so I'm 99% sure I didn't switch them during transplant. I'll know for sure when they flower out from the smell๐
