@Nicky I call it my Hobit hole to my 2x2 adventure world. Pretty much feel like I could be a spokesperson for ACI.
I guess CO2 is now on my list. Atleast something along the lines of your other thread. Especially if my temps are going to be around 82-83f which is what 28c? So slightly to high. Thats at vpd of 1.6.
Vpd 1.4 is about 81-82 and 1.2 is about 81 on the nose all the time.
Man I really wish AC infinity was making all this stuff when I was getting into grow supplies, their gear is so wonderful (although I prefer different lights), I have a AC Infinity T6 fan and it’s a Awsome piece of tech
A I does everything so much better than it’s competitors, although lights are done best by kingbrite & HLG.
Yes unique! LolI have to keep it all under the stairs. To many guests being near the beach. Lol
Thier tech is awesome. In hind site I do agree HLG and kingbrite. Wish I would have gone that route, but I’m still very happy. Integration was a big part of my decision. (Didn’t realize I could integrate other lights)
The lung room under the stairs is mostly insulated, pulls from the house into the tents, then into the garage. Then I have the garage fan to kick on if it gets above 60% rh or 88°.
Well adapted to your unique situation, dang the beach
I have a large room but I ain’t near no beach lol, and it doesn’t have a proper door on it… Barn door unfortunately is the only thing that will work.
Oh well we all make due!
This seems about right to me. I haven’t measured a leaf surface temp in probably 5-6 years tho, and I definitely haven’t challenged this. I feel you can almost watch plants slow down with canopy temps much lower than 80f.
A problem I’ve run into is not being able to keep a low tolerance without taking extended tolerance breaks. I’ve tried going a few days without smoking, and the first couple bowls would get me “high” (head change), but then my tolerance would shoot right back up to where I’m barely feeling the effects. I don’t think I smoke a lot compared to other people, anywhere from 1-3 grams a day, and have been keeping that consistent for the past 3 ish years. Any comments that could help? Am I just so used to being high that it’s just integrated into the way my brain works or something? My nickname used to be One Hit Wonder because one hit of weed would get me ripped, but nowadays I can never get the “stoned” feeling. It might sound stupid but I honestly refuse to take a 2 week+ break, it goes against my being to just raw dog life like that
I go through spells of feeling like im not feeling it. Taking a tolerance break definitely helps. But who wants to do that?!?!
Imo switching strains helps as well as your delivery method. I will switch between a vape, one hitter, bowl, bong, edibles. Our bodies do adjust to things over time
@Bracketh@Adrjon99 I understand what you are saying about the feeling from smoking…I am in the same boat as you and many are as well…“I lost that loving feeling” many years ago and even if I took a break never did get that ‘Stoned’ effect like I did those first few years of smoking…to be honest I don’t miss the red puffy eyes
I don’t smoke often anymore, but I found rotating what I’m smoking to help with this. Cannabinoids and even terpene profiles effect us all differently, so this could be something to look into. But given enough use over time you will definitely build up a tolerance.
@Nicky I’ve been growing autos for about a year and a half in soil, mostly FFHF and OF, I’d like to try coco but often spend a few days per week out of town. I have 2 questions…does coco need to be watered daily and I’ve read about buffering coco but don’t quite understand why some brands/types of coco need it and others don’t
Your coco would need fed several times a day, depending on plant size. See @Nicky about automatic watering, or autopots. Also not all coco coir needs buffered, depends on what brand you choose. I too am making the move to coco! But like to tinker, so I bought a bucket company setup. Can’t play w it until July, but it’s definitely happening!
@Adrjon99 the reality of the situation is tolerance is unavoidable because of the way our brain reacts, not just with cannabis but with any drug.
Drugs bind to receptors in the brain, at first its very easy to fill all the receptors in the brain as our brain is not used to the substance.
Our body is very adaptable, the brain adapts to this by building more receptors, every single time we are exposed to a substance, so it takes more and more and more each time in order to get the same effect. This is a big reason drugs are addictive, it’s chasing the dragon.
It takes extended periods of abstinence in order for our brain to reduce the amount of receptors so that when we do expose it again we can easily fill a large portion of the receptors with a low dosage of the substance.
When switching strains, some strains have different cabinoids, so our brain will still have built more receptors but not as many in certain cabinoids as the previous strain.
This is why switching strains can sorta work temporarily.
Take tolerance breaks, it’s healthy for you in so many aspects.
The alternative is as follows:
Smoke enough flower regularly that it Bo longer really gets you high, switch to a concentrate, same thing happens eventually, but by now your body is used to 80+% THC multiple times a day.
Many people struggle to quit this even though the cost and effect is negatively effecting them (we call this a dependance in healthcare).
At these levels of dependence, when one quits they get sick as they “detox”. The stronger the substance the harder the detox, nauseousness, vomiting, shaking, insomnia, no appetite, intensive mood swings, cramping…
Sounds like a heroine addict right? Yeah well it feels like the same thing for about two weeks.
In the short, take tolerance breaks, stick to flower stay away from concentrates.
However I just want to clarify all coco needs to be washed and buffed, most hydroponics coco companies will do this before it leaves the facility thought, so you shouldn’t have to. It’s important to research your coco brand and get a full spec sheet on it. Or call the number and ask them.
@WhatsupDoc I would suggest you switch to autopots, you can leave them for a week or two. Go check out my autopot guide.
I have a friend getting ready to pull the trigger on a 6 pot system at 3gal. I sent him here as well Thanks for all you do, @Nicky sorry for jumping in your thread. I was not through my first cup of coffee yet!
Great info. Enjoyed reading your post on cannabiniod hyperemesis a while back also and it’s worth reading as it relates to this topic for some people. Could you post a link please so others can understand this possible outcome from overindulging habitually.
Thanks Fam, I’m glad to have intriguing conversations on a topic I’m passionate about or that my profession is in relation to I Geuss haha (healthcare)
@OverallQuill80 I didn’t actually start the thread but there are a couple, I did reply to one. Here
Two more
The simple answer to cannabis related hyperemesis is to cut way back, try and quit for an extended period of time (30 days min 90 days ideal) and then only consume low doses.
Most of the time we are seeing this with concentrate users, but it can still happen in flower although not as common.
These users will often believe it was something else because they never had a problem before… But the issue is they often have increased their dosage significantly and often for extended periods of time. Their stomachs get scoped and then nothing is found and most are still in denial is my experience. As they don’t always get sick every day its more of a comes and goes thing but generally they are just sick much more often within a week or couple weeks having to vomit multiple times.
Honestly if I had a friend who would listen to me, I would share all this knowledge with them, have a conversation and get them in the mindset that they want to quit. Then have a high dose psilocybin experience, in a very safe relaxing environment (ide dose with them but not as high maybe a micro dose) and that experince can often help trigger their mental journey through the dependency. They can explore their mind and body working through their thoughts and realizing they need to change their habits.
Now that may sound a little off the wall but we are using Mdma and psilocybin in controlled environments to help people get through trauma and addiction.
Trauma like accepting terminal illnesses, coming to tearms with death.
PTSD in many people from abuse victoms to veterans, in order for them to work through that trauma and learn how to pass through the pain while realizing they can feel happy again.
Finally psilocybin and other psychedelics have shown to help “reset” addiction at a much higher rate than without.
Mdma will be approved for use by the FDA next summer in the USA and the DEA will be forced to re schedule the class of drug mdma is within 90 days.
Of course it will be only available in very controlled forums but we are finally breaking through the war on drugs with solid research.
Psilocybin research is a couple years behind but it’s very promising.
These guys are the ones leading the research and are about to get FDA approval.
And of course John Hopkins has been researching these drugs for the last 20 years.
Thanks for all you do,
