@Weddingday420,Haha, thats a lot, awesome! The Shiva I bought in the coffeeshop tastes quite uh, complex and for me it's hard to tell. Just like it's hard to explain what the Northern Lights tastes like. It's cloves, spicey, also a wee bit pine somewhere. Some strains are quite simple, like a very pronounced pine or lemon taste. But Shiva not.
No problem man, ask away! have IBS for almost 19 years. When I have cramps (colon) after visiting the toilet these can be quite heavy. When I use just a small bit of cannabis these cramps mellow out or even go away! So very happy I tried this out.
Sorry to hear you both have heart burn from acid reflux.
This year I got WAY better thanks to some things. These are:
*accepting emotions and not putting them away
*drinking a lot of water - not counting tea or juices, just plain water - maybe you could read F. Batmanghelidj
Your Body's Many Cries for Water - super interesting view on health - apply
*reading and applying the book 'The Clever Guts Diet' by Dr. Michael Mosley - fermenting veggies, making my own yoghurt eating Roquefort etc.
*cannabis for pain/cramps and after very stressfull situations
When applying these points I gained 9KG since februari. I was way too slim. Also the recovery after eating something 'bad?!' is way faster, so everything calmes down faster. Super happy. Fuck, it's easy to tell all these things while being quite anonimous! Haha. The reason I am telling these points is because I think that drinking enough water and having a healthy colon/intestine is key to good health. For everyone.
I had acid reflux for quite some time, it came and went through the years. When I started drinking enough water the acid reflux went away.
I really hope this can help you with taking control of your, and your wife's health. All the best wishes!
And off course I will keep an eye on this diary! 👍
@StealthyDutchGuy,
Thank you she's came a long way since we talked. I think I can get 3.5 to 4 oz dry from her. Took test bud last week that just dried to try next couple days. What's yours tasting like? If you don't mind me asking what kind of stomach issues you have that shiva is helping you with? I ask because the wife and I both have heart burn from acid reflux. Mine stemmed from chemotherapy 6yrs ago. Never had problem till treatment. It's really bad to. Good to hear from you.
Plant looking very nice, but isn't that a lot of trimming? I am a complete newby, so I am really curious. Is that for receiving more light on the branches that are going to form buds? Would you also trim it when you grew the plant outside, or is that because of the LED lights you use?
Looking forewards to your reply! Good luck with Shiva!
@Weddingday420,Thanks for your reply! Interesting. I will keep an eye on your grow. I buy 'Shiva' in a coffeeshop in the Netherlands. For my stomach it's my favorite strain. Haha, but I couldn't figure out either it's a Shiva Shanti or a Shiva Skunk. Maybe next season I'll also grow a Shiva Shanti. Too bad they don't have a autoflower version.... Take care and cheers!
@StealthyDutchGuy, she grows so much so fast that it's hard for the whole plant to get light so I have to trim her back that much. Shes been growing in 30 gallon trash can till another plant finished flowering in the tent.. thank you good luck with your first grow
